Writing of the ''closing scene in the
history of General Lees army, j. Quitman
Moore, Esq, thus thrills chord that will
vibratc forcycr-thus bcqucaths II gem to
the literature of the South;
"There stood the mournful rem
nants of that once glorious army
that had dipped its conqucring ban
ncrs in the crimson tide Of eight
and twenty sanguinary battles, and
strewn its heroic slain from the feet
of the Pennsylvania mountains to
the gates of its own capital city;
that had given Manassas to Bcauro-
card, and twincd the fame OF the
Seven Pines battle in tho laurel
wreath of Johnston; that had caused
the waters Of the Shenandoah eter-
naly to murmur the fame Of Stone
wall Jackson, and, stretching its right
arm out to the distant W est, had
planted victory on tho dropping
banners of Bragg; that had wit.
messed four gigantic campaigns and
through all their shifting and tragic
scenes, and under all difficulties and
dangers had remained stoedfast and
faithful to the last. And after hav-
ing witnessed the rising of the
Southern constellation, as it loomed
up brightly on the horizon Of war,
pursuing to its splendid zenith the
fiery path of Mars, now beheld not
unmoved its declining spIcndors
going down in the gloom Of eternal
night. And he, its illustrious chief,
whose lofty plume was ever its raj,
lying point in battle, and around
whom its affections warmly cluster
ed, now commended it for its past
devotion. and bade it adieu forever.
Slowly and sadly he rode from that
mournful field, and the cause that
he fought for was beneath the foot
of power. Few were the eyes that
grew not moist at witnessing that
/ departure. 1t was the agony OF
great cause finding expression IN
/ the sublime soul of its greatdefeni-
er. And though that cause DC dead,
vet will its memory continue to live,
and ever honOrcd will lie those
names that sacrificed at its altarS.
And on the scroll of fame no name
among the list of eminent worthics
will shine with a purcr, sercner, or
more respondent light than that ot
Robert Edmund Lee. Ills fame is
monumental. His namc will be
placed bJ the side Of those of the
great captains of history-of MARI
borough and SAKE, OF Tilly and Eu-
gene: and as long as the fame Of the
. southern struggle shall lingcr in
tradition and song, will his memory
be cherished by the descendants Of
the Southern races; while his char
actcr will stand up in the twilight
of history like some grand old "a
thcdral. lifting itself in impcrirh-
able beauty above the objects Of
earth. majestic in its vast proPor-
tions. awful in its sole'ln statciincss
sublime in its severe simplicity.

MELAYCHoLLYA ACCIDENT, w c are

by drowning of Mr.. IL c. NJ, Sale,

tressing occurrence took place in
the West Fork of the Trinity River;
near Fort Worth, on Monday, the

watering his horse in the Trinity,
and the water being muddy, his
horse started slowly down stream
in search of clear water, when he
suddenly stepped off II shelving prec-
ipicc much beyond his depth. 1t is
surmised that Mr.. Sale was injured
in some way by the fall, as he was
seen grasping the horse by the neck
on coming to the surface and crying
for help, when, being a good swim;
mer, he could have easily rcachcd
the shore by his own cxcrtions, If
uniniurcd. Two boys hearing his
cries for help rushed down to the
river, but becoming alarmed for
their own safety, failed TO render
him any assistance and he su''lr TO-
rise no more alive. His body was
recovered within about two hours
and was subsequently Inferred at
Fort Worth, being followed 10 the
grave by the symPathizing citizeh0
Of that place.
