man so bigoted to day as not to believe
that If Grant had commanded the i'll pro-
vided, half fed army which stood like
wall of fire around Richmond, and the
command of that grand army which went
down into the Wilderness could have been
given to Lee, the flag of the Union would
have tloated over the Confederate Capital
long before it did But a point so we'll
established, and so generally conceded,
need not be argued. Lee was the great
General Of the war; and it did not require
the testimony of the brave Sherman to
determine that fact.
We look upon the death of General Lee
as great calamity to the people of the
South. His exampl to them was meal
culable in its results, and it was upon such
men that the South was wont TO lean in
this the hour of her humiliation and woe.
No event which could have befallen that
section could have created such profound
feeling, and even here in the North, where
many men were disposed to look upon the
brave old warrior as a misguided, but,
nevertheless, honest man, sympathy will
be created as great almost as though one
had been taken from the head of the gov
ernment. Such was the private life, the
public character, and the devotion to prin-
clple of this great and good man, that no.
where in all the land will the intelligence
OF has death be received save with feelings
OF profound sorrow and regret.-Euquiger

THE CROWN PRINCE AT WORK
The Earthquake.

The shock of an earthquake, included
in our dispatches this morning from New
York, Cleveland, Montreal, New Castle
and various other places, reached this
city and was felt very distinctly by 4
number of citizens few minutes before
twelve o'clock yesterday forenoon. Per-
sons who experienced the shock describe it
as being very novel and suggestive of
dizziness.
1t was plainly experienced in the First
National Bank of this city. The clerk at
the coin counter, Mr.. Golman, noticed a
slight movement in gold, and was bother
ed at the time to know whether 1t was in
sympathy with either the bulls or the
bears. On consultation with Mr.. Speer,
the assistant cashier, he was informed
there was no panic whatever in the money
market.
The direction of the shock was from the
southwest to the northeast, and continued
about forty seconds, during which three
distinct heavy, and kix lighter shocks
were very distinctly felt. Doubtless a
heavy earthquake on the coast of South
America will prove to have been the cause
of the shock felt on this Continent
