lha; memorable occasion,
The venerable Mr.. Janney received
him in speech marked by a certain an
tique ponp, which rose to genuine elO-
qu,uce at tie end of his address. and lent
additional sOlemnity to the impressive
scene.
General Lee replied with Characteristic
modesry aud said "Mr. President and

In this brief response to the elaborate
address delivered by the President of the

was that of duty, and that he Looked to

Lg5oa the Norfolk yirsinian. !

[gEon the Norfolk virsiuian,
We regret that We cauno, give this IL
the picturesque language of its author !;
but even in the most hOmely phrases it is
eloquent in its suggestions.
After the fall of Mexico, when the
American army was enjoying the ease and
relaxation which 1t had bought by toll
and blood, brilliant assembly of pficers
sat over the wine, discussing the opera
tions of the siege, and INDUCING hopes Of
a speedy return to the United States.
ono among them rose to propose the
health of the Captain of Engineers, who
had found way for the army within the
city; and then it was remarked that Cap
tain Lee was absent. Nagruder wos 6is-
patched to bring him to the hall and,
departing on his mission, a. las. found
the object of bis search in remote room
of the palace, busy on map.
Magruder aceOsted bis friend apd re.
preached him for his absence.
The earnest worker looked up from his
labOrs with that calm, mild gaze which
we all remember, and pointing to bis in
strumcnts, shook his head.
But" said Magrudcr, in his impetu,
Gus way, this is mere drudgery Make
somebody else do it and come With me-
No" was the reply. "No, ! Am
but doing my duty"

On Friday the 10Th inst, as Capt. Thos.
Prigmore was on his return home, the
horse attached to the buggy, became
frightened, in crossing a very rough piece
of road, about four miles from this place,
to such an extent that the driver, a ne
gro man, could not control him, conse-
q%uently he ran of, throwing the old gen
tleman from the buggy breaking his right
arm between the elbow and shoulder joint.
The driver also received two cuts on the
head, penetrating through the scalp. His
right ear was also cut in two. At last
accounts the parties were doing as we'll as
could be expected.
