CAMDEN, OCTOBER 21, 1870.
The Death Of General Lee.

We publish elsewhere, in our columns
short biographical sketch of the life
Of the distinguished deceased. We are
compelled by force of the emotions of
our heart, to add our small, unworthy
tribute'to his memory. General Lee
stands unrivalled in the estimation of
the people Of the South. He is our
truo representative man, and we delight
to do him honor. The disastrous termina-
tion 6f the strhsslo"for Southern 1nde- 4
,pcndence has weighed down, the spirit
of our beloved chieftaip, and atlastrhe
has been removed to happier sphere,
where his spirit, fretd'ftbm the impu-
ritirs of.t,ie flesh, will see that although
the Almighty saw fit to bring upon us
presen. woe and grief, his ouiuipotent
purposes will yet work out for US great
and happy changes, and we will ex-
change "the spirit of heaviness for the
garment of praise" .. ..
Great in life, General Lee has left
US noblcr example in the quiet, calm
and joyous death of the christian.
Words arc inadequate to express
what we desire, but in our inmost heart
We cherish and revere the memory of
this great and good mau. ..-
On Saturday last, from IL M. until
8 P. NJ, the church and market bells
were tollcd, and there was general
suspension of business, as the funeral
serviceso of General Lee were being held
between those hourJ.

The Eectieh

- The Union Reform Party has fought
good fight, and all have done their
duty. The great heart of the entire
people has been stirred, and wc have
taught our enemies that we were d
power in the land. The canvass has
been carried on with greater energy
than any ether in our recollection
Both parties have battlcd for victory
inch by inch, and although we have
been nearly deprived Of our rights by
the appointment of men as Commits
sioncrs of elections, who were notorious
partisans of Scott and his unholy crew,
we have nevertheless exercised our
rights at The ballot box without fear,
and many of our colored fellow citizens
have for the first time exercised their
rights as trccmcn, ln,ramel.cd and un-
inundated.

The Great Charleston Fair.

The South Carolina Institute, whose
annual Fairs before the late war were
so renowned, and carried such crowds
to the city of Charleston, is rcsuming
its efforts on a larger scale than ever
before; and if We are to judge by the
splendid Premium List, copy of which
has been sent US, the Fair this year is
to be grand success, and an important
event in the history of the city and
State. Besides full list of the pre-
miums to be awarded, the book con-
tains racy sketch of Charleston, illus
trated with numerous eugravings, and
accompanied with an able article on the
discovery and manufacture of the Mouth
Carolina Phosphates, 1t is indeed a
book worthy ofauy mans library, and
no one who can procure copy should
fail to do so. The Fair will take place
at the famous Washington Race Course,
and will be accompanied by races, tour
naments, balls, &c. Besides, the ex-
hibition on the Race Ground, where,
by the way, handsome extensive
building has been erected, there will be
excursions around the harbor, boat
races, for sail and row boats, theatrical
exhibitions, pauoramas, &C., &c. The
fare on all the roads has been reduced
one.half for visitors to the Fair, and
our readers could not plan for them
selves for the first week in November
pleasanter excursion than to the Fair
of the South Carolina Institute at
Charleston, November lst, I'd, Sd, 18th

Kr. Chairman: | cannot let this
oppurt.nity pass without expressing my
concurrence in the resolutions which
have bcen presented TO this meeting by
my friend, or rendering my humble
tribute to the memory Of the distin.
guished chieftain who has lately passed
away from time to eternity.
The death Of q good man; though
humble in his life, is at all times
heavy loss to those whc. have felt, while
living, the influence IF his example;
but the death Of one whose career has
bcrn so brilliant, so extensive in its
influence upon the lives and destinies
of thousands Of others-who has united
in himself the greatness OF intellect
and Of virtue, is indeed, public ca.
lamity. Though born upon the classic
soil Of tnat land which has given birth
TO cuuu;less numbers of heroes, states>
men, patriots and philanthropists,
among whom were none more distin-
euishcd th"n his own ancestry; yet the
whole country claims the paternity of
Robert E. Lee, for in and through the
whole, did he win those imperishable
honors that cluster like halo of gl"ry
around his head, and which will reflect
their immortal lustre upon every son who
breathes its pure and vigorous atmos.
phero, whether he is bcru in the icy
regions of the north, or breathes upon
the soil of the sunny south, who, in
spircd by the virtues and purity of his
heart, tho power and genius of his in
tellcct, shall seek to emulate lis di$tiu.
