LEE AND JACKSON. There is an affect
ing similarity which We observe between.
the last words which issued from the lip
of Stonewall Jackson before he ''passet
over the river and rested under the shade
of the trees, and the word repolt ID to have
been the last uttered by General Lee be
fore he laid aside the weary crosses OF
life and joined his late comrade-in arms
in the peace and blessing of the bette
country. "Tell 4 2. Hill to prepar,
for action!' were among the words las.
syllabled by Stonewall Jackson he, too
once ordered his tent to be struck. and al
another time desired A. P. Hill to b,
sent for; and this is the report that come
to US from the death-bed of Robert e
Lee. Thus did these two great aud i'm
mortal Virginian chieftains show. by the
expressions which escaped them in the
hour of delirium which preceded dissolu-
ton, that their thoughts and memories re-
CURED to the duties devolved upon them
and tho cause of Con federate indepen-
dence, confded, in so large measure, te
their efforts Each sacrificed his splendid
life in the defence of the liberties anc
rights of Virginia ana the South--Gen
Lee not less than Gen. Jackson because
as we are assured by one who knew the
latter most intimately, it was the dcfeai
and distress of his people which weighed
with such force on his mind and heart a:
to break down his health and finally de.
stroy his life, -Lynchba'g Virginia.

The following. from the Baltimore
aGazette of the 18th, is summary up to
sthat time of the returns from the late
] Elections:
1t is impossible, at present, to obtain,
afrom the scattering details of the cleo
] tion that took place last Tuesday. any
thing more than general view of tho re-
I sult. Briefly stated, the returns show
sRepublican gains in Pennsylvania and
aOhio, and Democratic gains in Indiana,
where the Democratic State ticket has
/ been elected by some two thousand ma
sjority-a clear gain over the vote OF
ai86S of three thousand two hundred
!. Votes. Descending to particulars, it will
sbe found that there are some changes
worth nothing in the representation OF
5the State in question. In Indiana the
aDemocrats certainly gain one Congress
man in the Fourth Districs whilst the
dSeveuth District, which was also previ-
I ously Republican, was, st the last advic-
aes, in doubt. Assuming that the latter
I has also gone Democratic, the delegation
asill stand six Democrats to five Republ
ggcans. The entire Democratic State ticket

lied. The Republicans lost their candi-
dates in the Third and Fourth Districts;
whilst tho Democrats lost theirs in the
First and Ninth Districts The Four
steenth District, which has been represcn-
4 ted by a Republican, is in doubt, with
gthe probability that MuNRoB, Republican.
bag carried the District by a small ma
sority. The Sixteenth District-BING-
aHAM's-is also in dispute; but is quite
alikely will be counted in. The most i'm
aportant fact in respect to the Ohio cleo
ations is tile defeat of General SoHENcK
Bin the Third District, in spite of great
s1eforts and the expenditure of large sums

DRY the highest tributes Of respect, and
have accorded to hiG that chivalric and

merited not in the fulsomeness of envy
and political bigotry, but in noble, gem

convictions of reason and justice. Even
the proud flag which his military genius

dropped in mourning at the death of this

where this expression vas refused. Col

was done the commonest sympathy to a

was an outrage to grief stricken people
and an exhibition of contracted spirit
devoid Of that magnanimity which char
