The SOUTHERN EXPRESS CoNPANY's SAFES
lt was stated yesterday that the large Her.
ring safe of the Southern Express Company
having been extricated from the ruins oi
rhe Spotswood Hotel, had been placed in
the new Office of the company at Virginia
Hall. On Tuesday night, after FIVE hours
hard work, It's contents were exposed. 1t
was then found that the packages of money,
papers, and other property contained In
the SAFE, were but little injured mot tenough
to impair their value. The sealing-wax on
Inc packages had melted and run down
among them, causing them to adhere to-
gether. The edges of the notes had
Deen charTed, and the printing-ink on
Ine eeenbaeks had in some instances run
into each other go as to render it diff
cult to ascertain their genuineness with
certainty. All the papers and books pre-
sented blackened appearance. It is the
OPINION OF superintendent Gibson that the
water thrown upon the safe by the engines,
at his request, on the day after the fire was
tne means OF saving the money and papers:
as II the safe had remained for few hours
Longer In its heated condition, everything
IN it would have been charred to ashes
AS 1t is, the company will probably lose
little or nothing, SO far as the money pack
ages are concerned, whereas they might
nave lost not less than $4,000.
Mr. Gibson deserves great praise for his
exertions to save the property of the com
pany. He got out great deal of goods in
the off1ce for shipment even after the fire
had made considerable progress, and opened
q new office almost before the people of
Richmond knew the old one was DESTROYED.
besides being indefatigable in the matter OF
the safes. His own loss was about 5000.

ELDERS PORTRAIT OF LEE.-The DOR.
trait Of Gen. Lee, painted by Elder, of this
city, and now on exhibition at Bates &
Waddy Bros, should be seen by all who
yenerate the memory of the Confederate
chieftain. It is splendid work of art, and
the most life-ike and accurate picture of
Lee that we have yet seen. There is but
'one place for the best portrait of Virginia's
greatest son, by her most talented artist,
1t should adorn the walls of the Capitol of
the State. We hope it is not true that it Is
to be bought by a citizen of another Com
