AREMARKABLR INCIDENTS We learn
through private letter from Lexington
two remarkable incidents that occurred the
day General L died. A large portrait Of
the General. which was hanging in the par
lor Of his house fell to the floor, breakin g
the heavy frame surrounding it. A large
photograph Of him hanging in tie photo
graph gallery in the town, fell about the
same time and broke into pieces. There
was apparent 40 disturbing cause or force to
produce these accidents. No one was 10
the parlor when the portrait fell but Mrs.
Lee, who was sitting quietly in the room.
Montgomery Messenger.
An accident of IA similar character as
those noticed above occurred in our city, at
the residence of one Of our well known cit
liens On the morning OF General Lees
death, the noise Of a heavy fall and crash
was heard in one Of the rooms, and on some
of the ladies Of the house visiting the room
to find out the cause, it was discovered that
the gold band or ord from which was sus-
pended large portrait of Washington had
snapped, and the picture had fallen to the
floor, breaking the glass. On witnessing
the wreck, enc of the ladies exclaimed
-sGen. Lee is dead" That evening the
telegraph startled the whole country with
the sad, sad announcement. General Lee
died this morning at Lexington. Nor

To the sufviving Officers and Soldiers Of
the Army Of Northern Virginia
/. COMRADES The sad tidings of the death
Of our great commander came at time
when, by the interruption Of all the ordinary
modes of travelling, very many of us were
debarred the privilege of participating in
the funeral ceremonies attending the burial
Of him we loved SO well, or, by concerted
action, Of giving expression to our feelings
on the occasion. Willie the unburied re-.
mains Of the illustrious hero was yet under
the affectionate care of friends who were
bowed down with sorrow unuttcrable,
the hoarse cry of treason" was eroaked
from certain quarters, for the vile but abor-
tive purpose Of casting d stigma upon his
pure and exalted character. His fame be-
longs to the worl1 and to history, and il
beyond the reach Of malignity but sacred
duty devolves upon those whom, in defence
Of a cause he believed to be just and to
which he renamed true to the latest moment
Of his life, he led so often to battle, and for
whom he ever cherished the most affection
ate regard. We owe it to our fallen COM
rades, to ourselves, and to posterity, by
some suitable and lasting memorial, to man
ifest to the world for all time to come, that
we were not unworthy to be led by our i'm
mortal CHIEF, and that we are not now
ashamed of the principles for which LEE
fought and JACKSON died.
Already sters have been taken by some
Confederate officers and soldiers assembled
at Lexington, the place Of General Lees
death and burial, to inaugurate memorial
association; and being, as [ believe, the
senior in rank of all the officers OF the Army
of Northern Virginia now living in the
State, respectfully suggest and invite a
conference at Richmond, On Thursday the
3rd day of November next, Of all the survi-
vors of that army, whether officers or pri
Yates and in whatever State they may live,
| VINO can conveniently attend, for the
purpose Of procuring coucert Of action in
regard to the proceedings contemplated |
would also invite to that conference the sur
viving officers and soldiers Of all the Con-
fedcratc Armies, as well as the officers,
sailors and marines Of the Confederate navy.
This call would have been made sooner,
but for my absence up to this time in Il
county where there are no tciegraphs or
railroads, and where was detained by i'm
perativc duties

General Wade Hanpton's statement in
recent speech as to General Lees feelings
when he surrendered at Appomattox Court

other things for which we tave not room
''It has been my fortune in lite to have
come in contact with some whom the world
pronounced great-some Of the earth's cele-

here to day that Of all mortal men whom it
has ever been my privilege to approach, he
was the greatest and assert here that,
grand as might be your conceptions Of the
man before, he arose in incompatible males

be affirmed Of few men who have ever lived
Or died, and ofno other man whom it has

.EoTa1a w. Garrett and GEN. Zee.
From an address delivered by John w.
Garrett, President of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad &C., OF the recent Commercial
Convention in Cincinnati, We make the fol-
lowing extr~cts:
"What magnificent examples of moral
courage and grand action have been presen-
ted by many of the heroic soldiers Of the
South That illustrious, great and good
man, Gen Robert E. Lee, Tcheers, at the
close of the war sirew aside the sword and
bee anne the honored and recognized leader,
in spirit of personal independence and
moral heroism, in the new work which was
requisite for the South. Cheers.
He became the President of College,
promptly throwing his energies and influence
for the cause of learning, recognizing that
knowledge is poyor, and that the strength
of the South must in the future, as always
largely depend upou the education Of her
sons But, gentlemen, recent intercourse
wit that distinguished man has impressed
lac with the breadth and nobleness oil his
views upon osher great subjects in connec-
ton with the restoration Of pc age end in the
interests OF our common country.
At a very recent period, controlled by
his conviction Of the importance of binding
the North and the South by the strongest
ties of interest and commercial relations, in
addition to his labors as the President at
Washington College, he accepted the Prcsi-
deney Of railway ~
The great object Of that railway the
Valley Railroad Of Virgins being to con
meet the Maryland system OF railways
through the interior of the South to ].ouisi-
ana, and in SO acting, governed by such
motives, his anxiety vas not only to labor
himself, but to give an example, the value
of which all must recognize, that the true,
great and benefccnt policy now ard for the
future must bind in cordial interest and fra
tcrnity the North and the South, the East
and the West, under tie lag Of CUR common
country. Cheers
