This superior lady died at her old home, Mr.
Joseph Steele's, in Rockbridge county, Va, on
Sunday morning, October 4th, 1868, at the great

She was worthy member of the Grgsby
family-so well known and so largely connected
in Virginia She was twelve years old when her
father, John Grigsby, removed from Culpeper to
this county, near the end OF the Revolutionary
war; so that she was one OF the very few living
persons who carried the entire history of the
United States in her memory from original i'm

full exercise to the last day of her life. She

OUR W ASaINGTON LETTER.

WAsniNGroN. March Il. 1868.
En-. BULLETIN :--Impeachment is at last
fairly under way. The trial commenced on
Friday, when the counsel Tor the President
demanded forty days for preparation. The
managers Of the trial, however, refused TO
gran, a single day unless the President
should plead either guilty or not guilty, as
in other courts. The matter was settled,
finally, BY giving him ten days. The at
tendance on Friday was kept within bounds
BY admitting no one without ticket, and
although many grumbled a, being excluded,
il seems to me that il was much the best
way
, II fs said. that Mosby, the notorious, is
marshaling his old forces in Leesbargh. II
this is true, and it is youched for by many,
it looks oninons.
Probably Washington, the very seat ofIhe
trial, is quieter under the Impeachment ex>
element than any other large city in the
Union. The fact is, thai the return Of the
