Gem. Lees Resignation ia, 1861.

In 1861 Col. Lee rejoined his regi-
ment at San Antonio, Texas, and
remained there until the firing on
Sumter. On the Goth of April 1861,
Col. Lee, after a service of twenty
five years, resigned his position in
the U. s. Army, sending his letter OF
resignation to Gen. Scott, at Wash
ington: ~
ARLINGTON, Va, April 20, 1861.
GENERAL-Since my interview
with you on the 18th inst, L have
felt that / ought not longer to retain
my commission in the army Itilere-
fore tender my resignation, which l
request you will recommend for ac-
ceptance. 1t would have been pre-
sented at once but for the struggle it
has cost me to separate myself from
a service to which I have devoted all
the best years of my life and all the
ability l possessed.
During the whole of that time
more than a4auarter of a century,
have experienced nothing but kind
ness from my superiors, and the most
cordial friendship from my comrades.
To no one, General, have I been as
much indebted as TO yourself for uni
form kindness and consideration,
and it has always been my ardent
desire to meet your appreciation. /
shall carry to the grave the most
grateful recollections of your kind
consideration, and your name and
fame will always be dear to me.
Save in defence Of my native State,
never again desire to draw my
sword. Be pleased toaeeept my most
earnest wishes for the continuance
Of your happiness and prosperity,
and believe me most truly yours,
a @4ss54 .sa- 80 r.. Il. LEE.
To his sister, the wife Of a Federal
officer he wrote: - ...s.... -
MY DEAR SISTER, am grieved
at my inability to see you. y
/ have been waiting for more "con-
venient season. which has brought
to many before me deep and lasting
regret. We are now in a state of
war which will yield to nothing. The
whole South is in a state OF reyolu-
ton, into which Virginia, after a long
struggle, has been drawn; and though
recognize no necessity for this state
of things, and would have forborne
and pleaded to the end for redress of
grievances, real or supposed, yet in
my own person had to meet the
question whether | should take part
against my native State. With all
my devotion to the Union, and the
feeling of loyalty and duty Of an A
mericap citizen, / have not been a.
BILE to make up my mind to raise my
hand against my relatives, my chill
dren, my home. i have therefore re-
signed my commission in the army,
and save in defence of my native
State-With the sincere hope that my
services may never be needed
hope / may never be called upon to
draw my sword.
This was the only sdefnitionn OF
his position ever given by him.

spirits obtained from Juniper Berries; very lit
tie sugar is used, and a small proportion Ofspir-

Mine is the color of ingredients. The Buchu in
my preparation predominates; the smallest guam
tity of the other ingredients are added, to pre-

found not to be a Tincture, as made in Pharma
copea, nor is it q ~Syrup-and therefore can
be used in cases where fever or inflammation ex-

that you will favor it with a trial, and that up
on inspection it will meet with your apprOba-

in public and social worship in both the native
and English services, singing schools and social
gatherings. 1t has been of great service in
Teaching music to the natives and enabling then
To sing correctly. We have taken it on excur-
lions and travels in the country, and it has serv-
ed to cheer our weary spirits and beguile many

and on our return again, will yet serve us or
others for many years. 1t gives me much pleas
ure to recommend your instrument at home and
abroad.
There we're several MelOdeons of other makers
brought into Siam while we were there, but none
c4ualled yours in purity and volume of tone, or

give them the preference every where.
