GENERAL LEES KINDNESS AND LIBERAL,
photographers and newspaper obituary
writer's have united in ascribing to General
Robert E. Lee the best qualities of heart and
mind. A CINCINNATI paper relates the fol-
lowing anecdote of the deceased, which does
him honor:
Lee standing at his gate talking pleasantly to
an humbly clad man who seemed very much
pleased at the cordial courtesy of the great
chieftain, and turned off evidently delighted as
we came up. After exchanging saldtations,
the General said pointing TO- chat retreating
form. ''That is one OF our old soldiers, who is
in necessitous circumstances" took it for
granted that IL was some veteran Confederate,
when the noble-hearted chieftain quietly ad-
ded, 'tHe fought on the other side, but we must
not think of that" / afterwards ascertai9e9
Hot from General Lee, fot he never alluded
to his charit!es-that he not only. spoke kindly
of this cold soldier" who had fought on the
other side," but had sent him on his way re-

BAD ADvfcE.-We notice that q Western e1-
change, speaking of the result of the recent
elections in South Carolina, advises the white
people of the State to abandon it and leave the
negroes there to constitute a separate State
living monument of Radical folly. This should
never be done The people of South Carolina
have indee1 been cursed with all the odious
and htimiliating measures that avaricious and
despotic Radicaism could suggest, and num-
bers of ignorant and brutal negroes could exc
cute but there is life in the old land yet, and
we are pleased to know that the original white
inhabitants of the State stand up against their
effemies with stern and unbroken front-true,
positions of honor and trust have been dis
graced, position has been used to disguise rob-
berry and law has become cloak for theft, but
the disgrace will 60 out with the culprits,
and in the better day that's coming, when hon
est men get their rights and scoundrels their
deserts, these positions will again be elevated
by the manliness and honor of those who will
one day fill them. In South Carolina the ne
groes are largely in the majority and in deadly
antagonism to the whites, but the statistics
show that the white race increases in a much
greater ratio, and even in natural course of
things time will overcome this numerical supe-
riority. Let the white people remain-oppose
bold front to the negroes-encourage immi-
grafton, make money if they can, keep it from
their thieving oppressors by all means
never give up the ship. This we know is their
determination, and all will yet be well.-At-

DEATH OF AN ENTERPRisiNG NEWSPAPER
PRopRIEToR.-Calvin w. Starbuck, of the
Cincinnati Times, whose death by apoplexy has
been announced, was one of the most success
full newspaper publishers in the West. He was
a practical printer, always industrious, ener-
getic, abstemious and persevering, and to those
Qualities owed the large fortune-not less than
500, 600 or $500, ,000-he had acquired at the
time of his decease.
In connection with two other printers he be-
gan the publication of the Cincinnati Times in
1S41, on borrowed capital of two hundred
dollars and soon became its sole proprietor,
his associates growing discouraged and aban-
doning the enterprise few weeks after its in
'ceptiOn. Few men ever surpassed MIR. Star
buck in his capacity for work. For two or
three years after undertaking the Times he
worked sixteen or eighteen hours o day, and
slept on straw m&ttrass on the floor of the
composing room. To such industry and deter
mination fortune could not long deny her ia
vOrs.
The Weekly Times is indebted for its large
circulation almost entirely to him, and by and
through that he mainly obtained his wealth.
He was kind-hearted, generous, charitable
man. wholly without ostentation or pretence OF
any sort, doing good in secret, and putting for
ward no claim to private or public approba-
|tion. He leaves widow and a large family,
many of its members grown and married. He
will be widely missed in Cincinnati, especially
by the poor, to whose behoof he devoted many
Eof the last years of his unassuming and useful
life

FIGHTING FOR PosTERrTYY. During the late

want of maniless, &C., and in the course OF his

PLANTING STRAWBERRIES IN THE FALL
When plants are we'll set in the fall, they will
fruit the next season, as it is the full growth
of root which supports the plant for the next
years fruiting. Go into your garden to-day,
and pull up strawberry plant which has frui-
ted this season, and you will see the old stock
of roots dead and black, and from the crown of
the root beneath a set of new roots sputting out (;
these must make good fall growth, or you will
get no considerable crop of fruit next year and
transplanting now causes less jar in the natu-
raj condition of the plant than if taken up at
any other period of the year.
Choose for planting young runners that are
well-rooted; then on cloudy day proceed with
your work. Draw line where you desire to
plant and mark place for the row spread out
the roots evenly on all sides; set in so as to
bring the dirt well up to the crown of the plant,
without covering it, and press the soil down
firmly with your hands around the plant. If
the weather shouldprove dry, water thoroughly,
80 as to soak the roots, as often as the foliage
shows by its dropping appearance that water is
necessary.
Before the setting in of winter cover the en-
tire surface of the ground, over the plants and
all, with litter of straw or other like material
to keep the plants from changes of freezing and
thawing, to which they would be exposed if
left on the surface where the sun and winds
would have full play upon them. This cover
ing should be removed in the spring, SO as to
let the plants grow up without hindrance.--
The fruit buds are formed in the Fall, and if
these are injured during the exigencies of win.
ter and early spring the crop Of the fruit will
be lost.

mournful lot which had fallen to him. He
poured forth no repinings into the worlds ear
he uttered no maledictions against the victors.
He accepted the post of President over the
Military Academy ut Lexington-a sortof Vir-

Of that narrow sphere with the same conscien-

achievements.
He died of congestion of the brain. In death,
as in life his Christian character shone forth
with steady glow. Much of what Macaulay,
in his review of Milton, wrUte of the Puritans
of the seventh century, was true Of Lea de-
scendant, however, from Cavalier family
''The intensity of their feelings on one subect
made them tranquil on every other. One over

What shonld be Done.


The San Joaquin Republican of Monday
contains the following item:
"a prominent citizen of Tuolumne county
stated few days ago, that the people of Sc
nors aad Tuolumne county would grade
road bed and prepare it for laying down the
track from Sonora dcwn to the river, a dis
lance Of twelve miles, if the Stockton and
Copperopolis Railroad Company would agree
to build a road. On behalf of the company
we assure them if they grade the read the
track viii be laid. The company will survey
the road, and Tuolumne county can commence
the road as soon as she likes
year ago last summer the citizens of this
county held several public meetings for the
purpose of ascertaining what they should do
to enable them to have railroad brought in
to the county. Committees were appointed
and some correspondence had with persons
connected with railroads. 1t was hoped, at
that time that road would be Immediately
built up the San Joaquin Valley with which
a branch line from the mountains might be
connected, or that the Copperopolis road
would soon be built with which connection
might be made. For some weeks the feelings
of our people were at fever heat on the sub
ject of getting railroad. AT that time it
was suggested as an inducement to any COM
rany that would lay rails on line in this
county and stock the read, that the people
al0nIH had
ton we think was made by letter TO the Pres
dents Of the two roads The constant delay
that attended work on these roads, had the
effect of destroying confidence in their being
built, at least for q Icing period. How our
people feel in regard to grading a road bed
now, we are unable to say. 1t is of such
great importance 20 the prosperity and ad-
vancement of the county to have railroad,
and the building of the Copperopolis road
having commenced, it is time thatour citizens
should move again and see what can be DONE
1t is not reasonable to expect that we can get
the desired advantages without doing some
thing on our part, we must present some induce
ments, we must show enterprise, without doing
so why should we hope to have railroad
brought TO our doors. The Republican says
if the people will grade a road bed the Stock
ton and Copperopolis Railroad Company will
survey the road and lay the track. A year
and helf ago there is reason to believe our
people would have agreed to do this. The
necessity is no less to-day than then. If we
are to have a railroad an effort must be made
and now is the time to act about it. We be-
lieve it is in the power of our people to offer
inducements that will bring it to US. Let
them move at cnce with a determination to
succeed and there will be little fear of a fail
