General Lee remarked, two years ago. to General
penhleton, that he did net expect to live longer
than two years more. The evening he was taken
sick nc was unusually bright and cheerful. The re-
mote reason OF General Lce's d ath was the long
continuance or depressing moral causes, commence
iEg with the we2lty responsibilities ami anxieies
during the last year OF the war and the effect which
the overthrow OF the cause he loved, anl the cOndi
ton Of the South since has had upon him. He bore
all with calm exterior and devoted himself TO the
duty Of tie hour but the fbtes Of his great heart
proXimate cause Of his death was mental and pny-
sical fatigue producing venous congestion OF the
brain which gradually caused cerebral eXhaus-
ton ana death.
