GENERAL LEE IS DEAD so a
However much We may have been pre-
pared 10 hear this mournful announce
ment from the precarious condition, Of his
health, who can read it without the most
heartfelt emotions of sorrow and bereaye-
ment. 80 r.
No man who has figured upon the stage
of life within the present century, has oo-
cupied more of the attention OF the world,
ard none has adorned il with so much great
ness and heroism as has General ROBERT
2. LEE The grandeur of his character
and achievements have illustrated the age,
renowned, as it is, with heroes and events
unparalleled in the history OF the void.
It is now too soon, after the close OF
his military achievements. to speak OF
General LEE as soldier. We are still
dazzled by their transcendens brilliancy
Especially are those who followed him
from Richmond to Gettysburg, and from
the Wilderness to Appomattox, unsuited
to write calmly and diapassIonatoiy OF
everts which have shed lustro upon Amer
lean character, and which mark ROBERT
EDMUND LEE as the first soldier OF his
tory, if achievements be contrasted with
resources.
Misfortune and failure, in the presence
of which so many heroes have shrunk to
less than men, only added to the gran
deur of General LEES ether victories. Ii
his soldiers enthusiastically admired the
triumph of his genius at Charlottesville,
and his prodigies of personal yalor at the
Wilderness, they were awed by the heroic
euuanimity with which he met defeat at
Appomattox. Ho commanded the respect
of his enemies in war, he won their adml-
ration in defeat, and his victories peace
I,ave rendered him oven moro illustrIOus.
General LEES example of true glory Is
immortal. His name is q tallsman his
home a country's haven Of ai1oction-hls
tomb will be an altar for patri0tiSm'5 sac
rifice. In our hearts he yet ivcta and
.reigneth. His character shall still inspire
ns. his wisdom shall still guido us, and
bis paternaI spirit shall still protect us.

promotion

There was q purpose in the great up-S
rising of the people ia the late election il,
this State. It was something more than.
an ordinary canvass and an ordinary!
result. Inaugurated without party Con.
vention or party platform, without
thorough organization, the canvass was.
conducted against O we'll organized and.
powerful party, with all the advantages,
afforded them by an unscrupulous use of the
control of the State and Federal Govern
ments. The people themselves, throwing
off the ordinary restraints Of party dis
cipline, forced the result, in spite OF the
disadvantages of their own want of organ
ization, and in the face of the power and
organization of their political opponents.
Opposition to our SYSTEM OF government
no less than to the corruption which char
acterized its conduct, was the rallying cry
pending the election from tho mountains
to the seaboard. There was not Con-
sentative canvasser, whether a candidate
or not there was not public meeting Of
Conservatives there was not a COnserva-
tive paper, hardly an issue Of one, which
did not declare in favor Of alterations to
the fundamental law-changes which re
quire the sanction of a Convention to
effect. Indeed, in most of the counties OF
the State one or the other, or all of these
changes were made the issues of the can
Vass. And the people have spoken. They
have announced their opposition to the
present system of government in North
Carolina, and they were in earnest.
Where can reformation begin without
the call of a Convention We might,
indeed, repeal the obnoxious Military
Bill, but even Holden has disbanded his
no longer useful soldiers, which, in spite
of any act of the Legislature, may be called
into service by subsequent General AS
sembly. We may reduce the per dten OF
the members of the incoming Legislature,
but their successors might again increase
it. There is no economic change which
one Legislature may make which cannot
be uprooted by another. The people o.
North Carolina want something more than
the shadow of reformation. Nay, theil
well-being demands the substance.
II the election determined anything, il
fixed the hostility of our people to the
present judicial system of the State, fo
everywhere was this an issue of the can
vass. We want. and must have, an eficien
method of dealing out cheap and imper
tial justice. We want, and must have. 6
return to system under which our judges
were honored wherever the Com
mon Law was known, and our Courts
were indeed the temples of justice and
probity and learning. We must re-estab-
ish the reputation Of our judicial oficeri

What think you, MIR. Editor, of an cart
Item from our mountains, and Of New
York receiving fine pictures from North
lCaroiina ?
Our little village has been pleasantly
excited by the fir5t artists reception ever
given in this region, and the occasion has
been rs much enjoyed, perhaps, as it
would have been in other beauty loving
Hands, blessed like ours with dreamy noun
tains and air which you only find here
and in Italy.
Last week Mr.. Oertel kindly opened his
studies to the public for three days, and
Notwithstanding the almost constant rain,
hundreds Of people, including many from
rather distant towns and villages, awaited
themselves Of an opportunity so rarely
offered in this country.
The paintings exhibited are five large
picturea intended for the Church OF the
Heavenly Rest (Dr. HoW!and's) IN Forty
ninth street, New York.
The central figure, which is eight feet
and half high, represents Our Saviour as
our great High Priest il Heaven, and the
aother four are seraphims with uplifted
sadoring faces, and cherubims whose rapt
Repression and looks Of awe, speak OF
purity and of knowledge hidden within
/ the veil of eternity. Bat need not at
stempt description. as the church have
mentioned will bere opened early il OotO

sChurch, they viii appear moro impressive
! than in the artist's etudiU, whore q full,
broad light fell on them from the lofty
