ELOQUENT ExTRAcT.-Wrlting OF
the closing scenes in the history Of Gen.
Lees army, J. Quitman Moore, Esq,
thus thrills a chord that will vibrate
forever-thus bcqueaths gem 10 the
literature of the South:
There stood the mournful remnants
of that once glorious army that had dip.
ped its conquering banners in the GRIM
son tide of eight and twenty sauguinary
battles, and strewn its heroic slain from
the feet of the Pennsylvania mountains
to the gate Of our own capital city; that
had given Manassas to Beauregard, and
twined the fame of the Seven Pines
battle in the laurel wreath of Johustonj
that had caused the" waters of Shenan-
doah eternally to murmcr the name of
Stonewall jackson, and stretching its
right arm out to the distant West, had
planted victory upon the dtooping BAN
ners of Bragg; that had witnessed four
gigantic campaigns, and through all
their shifting and tragic scenes and
under all difficulties and dangers, had
remained stcadfast to the last; AID
after having witnessed the rising Of
the Southern constellation as it LOOM
ed up brightly on the horizon of
war, pursuing to its splendid zenith the
fiery path Of Mars, now beheld, not un-
moved, its declining spendors going
down in the gloom of eternal night
And he, its illustrious chief, whose
lofty plume was ever itssrallying point
in battle, and round whom its affections
wlrmly clustered, now commenting it
for its past devotion, bade adieu forev-
er. Slowly and sadly he rode from that
mouruful field, and the cause that he
fought for was beneath the foot of pow
cr. Few were the eyes that grew not
moist at witnessing that departure. 1t
was the agony Cfa great cause finding
expression in the sublime soul Of its
great defender. And though that cause
be dead, yet will its memory continue
to live, and ever honored will those
names that sacrificed at its alters. And
on the scroll Of 20 fame no name among
the list of worthless shall shine in
purcr or more rcsplendcnt light than
that of Robert Edmund Lee. His name
will be placed by the side Of those of
the great captains Of history-of Marl-
borough and SAKE, ofTilly and Eugene;
and as long as the fame of the Southern
1struggie- sIialllinger, will be cherished
by the descendants of the Southern
race; while his character will stand up
in the twilight of history like some
grand old cathedral, lifting itself in
imperishablc beauty above the objects
of earth, majestic in its vast proper
tions, awful in its solemn statclincss,
sublime in its severe simplicity.

IRISH TENANTS AND LANDLORDS
Eiectmcnt notices ore required to be
served in Ireland under the protection
of u large force of the police. At re-
cent trial an account was given OF the
extraordinary proceedings adopted to
remove the tenants on the property of
Afchdcacon Butson, near Ballinasloe.
An attempt to serve the notices having
on previous occasion been resisted, a
body of eighty constables, under the di-
rection of magistrate, repaired to the
lands. After an Intellectual attempt to
induce the people to permit the notices
to be served, the bailiff and underagent
went forward to affix them to the doors
of the tenants houses, under the pro.
lection of a number of the police, and
were instantly assailcd by q mob Of
several hundred persons, the men
throwing stones and the women Clubs
of filth and lime in liquid state. -
There were cries that they would make
it another Scully affair. Scully, it will
be rccollccted was killed by mob
while endcavoring to serve notices.
The undcr-agent and head constable
were severely beaten. Ultimately the
notices were nailed on the houses, the
whole body of the police being neccssa-
ry to drive the people back. The ten.
ants assert that their landlord wished
to change the arrangement about the
letting, and to charge them thirty shil'
lings an acre for a bog they reclaimed,
and had before held rent flee.

It is a little curious to observe with
what intense delight we hear of re-
bellion against any Government, no mat
ter What it is or where it is, so it be not
our own. We don't sop to inquire in
to the objects of the revolt, its motives
or chances of success, or whether it is
likely to benefit or ruin those who en-
gagged in it. IF it is only a rebellion
against a Government, that. is all We
ask. 1t has all our sympathics-all
onr good wishcs-all the help we can
give it without getting into trouble our
selves. The Fenians in Ireland; the
handful of Cretaus starving in hopes
Of overthrowing the Turkish Govern
mcnt; the Spanish liberals QvcrthroWing
the monarchy; and now the Cubans re-
belling against the Spanish Liberals;
they all have the sympathy and encour-
agcment Of our people. The pravelent
idea with us on this subject seems to
be that All government is bad and ought
to be ovcrthrown, and that we are bound
by our principles, our traditions and
our interests, to help those noble spirits
who rebel against authority anywhere
or of whatever sort. One would think
our own experience should teach us the
necessity of some discrimination in this
matter. We insisted that no foreign
nation should sympathize with car rcblcs
no matter what they might think about
the causes of their rebellion. The
whole thing was none of their business.
Have we any more concern with Crete,
or Spain, or Cuba, or Ireland, than
England had with us during our war

DLE.-Somc mouths ago two young
men opened store in one of the prln.
cipal business thoroughfarcs of this city,
with a large stock of goods, and grand
display generally. The business was
that Of tea, and down the spacious
store there ranged long rows of tea
chests, and windows were replete with
samples Of fine Oolong. Souchong,
Young and Old Tyson, japan, &c. The
firm seemed prosperous. They made
their purchases of the prominent whole
sale houses in this city, who gave them
credit, and the amount Of goods pur-
chased was large.
They had u trade in the country, and
boxes of tea were seen leaving the store
every day by express and freight for
the rural dealers. Still the long line Of
tea chests smiled complacently upon
the looker-in upon the scene of seeming
thrift and commendable industry. The
debts of the firm were daily growing
larger and larger, and still the whole
sale houses, having the strongest faith
in their integrity aud ability to p1y,
trusted them more and more. But
there must sooner or later come a day
of reckoning to all.
A day or two since bill of one OF
the Wholesale houses fell due, and it
was presented at the desk of the tea
firm, when the collector wasss coolly
informed that the firm to whom the
bill was made out had no legal existence,
having sold out to the present proprie-
tors some two weeks since. Here was
an e.opener indeed and the clerk
FASTENED back to inform his employers
that the great tea house of--&

trimmings generally, were non est

the wholesale firm, to find that his
double ofanother house was on the spot
astoundcd to learn that things were as
they we're. A consultation was held,
and they again being assured by the
"gentlemanly and urbane" proprietor
of the establishment that the previous
firm had sold out to him and left for
where he knew not, it was determined to
sieze the goods in the store. And here
comes the best part of the story.
The boxes of tca-those long rows,
with the startling appearance OF i'm
mensc busiuess,-when opened were
found to contain, not fine Japan and
Young Hyson, not the leaf from which
is distilled intoxicating Gunpowdcr and
English Breakfast, nor the amber-col-
orcd juices of Imperial or Oolong-none
of thcsc--but the most common of COM
mon sawdust. The present owner of
the sawdust, tea chests, and the good
will of the former firm, says he came into
power upon notes held by him and the
payments of large sums Of money.

BILLIARDs:-A number of the lead
ing billiardists of this city assembled
in the holl occupied by the Wheeling
Gymnastic Association, to witness a
match game OF billiards between Mr..
R. T. Ryall, ex-champion Of Pennsyl-
vania and Mr.. 81. Groeneweg, champion
OF our own State. The first game play
ed was that known as the carom, 1000
points up, and occupied two hours. Mr..
Ryall was the winner, the score stand
ing at the close: Ryall, 1000; Groeneweg,
9O2. Ryall's average, 20; Groeneweg's
is 1919; highest run, Ryall, 1G7; Greene
veg, 1879. After this had been conclud-
ed French cRrom game, SO points up,
was played by the same parties. This
was won by Groeneweg. the score
standing: Groeneweg, so; Ryall, 80.
Groeneweg's average, 1919; Ryall;
12.1S. Highest run, Groeneweg, IL;
Ryall, 5.
The crowd remained sometime after
the games of the evening had termina-
ted to witness Mr.. Ryall's skill in exc
cutting fancy. shots. Apparent impos-
sibilities were performed, and the
player was frequently applauded after
accomplishing the most difficult feats
with the cue and balls. We believe we
are not mistaken when we say that no
such brilliant playing was ever before
seen in this city.

given report of the trial OF John II.
Robinson in the police court yesterday
morning for asSaulting his wife. After
that court had adjourned, Robinson was
brought before Judge Johnston on a
State warrant for the same offence. An
examination was waived and the pris-
oner required to give bond in the sum
of three hundred dollars for his appear
ance at the June term of the Circuit
Court, and second i'll n similar
amount, to keep the peace and be of
good behavior towards all the citizens
of this State, and particularly towards
Mrs. Il. Having complied with these
acquisitions Mr.. Robinson was released

POLICE CoURT.-Despite the rain Of
yesterday morning there was fair
average attendance at the police court.
George Roman and George Fleming
were arraigned for being drunk, and
judging from the appearance they pre-
sented we would say that denial of
the charge would have been the veriest
falsehood. They did not enter such
plea, but remained perfectly passive
while the witnesses testified as to their
inebriety. They were fined one dollar,
they paid the assessment. The last we
saw ofthem they were making their way
through the door leading to the lookup.
John n. Robinson was brought up
for assaulting his wife. Several wit
nesses were examined for the city. AS
the testimony consisted chiefly Of de-
tails OF domestic infelicity, we will not
attempt to give even the substance of it.
After patiently hearing the evidence,
Judge Good reviewed the case at some
length and fined the defendant twenty
dollars and costs.
Sometime during Wednesday there
was session of this Court which es-
capped our notice at the proper time
The only business transacted was the
dismissal of the complaint against Geo.
Mckee, charged with assaulting Will
liam West, at complainant's cost, and
continuing until Saturday morning,
that against Louis Lingerman charged
with selling liquor on Sunday.
