CAUSE OF GEN. LEES DEATH.
Extract of a Letter from Rsa'
Physician.

The Fredericksburg Herald says
We have been permitted to copy the
following extract from, d private letter
from Dr.. H. T. Barton, Gen. Lees at
tending physician, to his brother, Judge
w. s. Barton, of this city:
/. LEXINGTON, Oct. 13, 1870.
Mv Dear Byother--I have been so
engaged for two weeks with our dear
general thatI have been compelled to
leave many other matters unattended to.
AS the papers have contained very inac-
curate accounts of his case, and you will
desire to hear specially from me our
opinion, will state it in a few words
He had but partially recovered from
his rheumatism. affecting the muscles OF
his arms, back. and chest chiefly. and
in 1853. and about year ago, attacking
the pericardium, the sac containing the
heart, but never the heart itself, whose
regular rhythmical beat has been main
tanned whenever examined by us. At
ter very fatiguing day at college, he
attended an important meeting OF the
vestry, and was detained for several
hours, but gave no evidence Of being un-
well. As he walked into his dining
room, where they were waiting tea for
him, he took his seat and was discover
ed to have lost his speech
Twas summoned at once, and found
his pulse weak, with cold extremities,
etc. Commenced the use Of medicines at
once, and sent. for DR.. Madison, who
continued to attend him with me to the
end. He was in short time able to
speak little, sometimes in sentences,
but generally only in reply to questions
He remained thus, disposed to doze, fos
most of the attack; could be easily arou7'
ed, and almost to the very. last seemr'
to understand all that was said to hiin
and responded by words or orsigns, with
out any great depression. He evidently
neither expected nor desired to recover
Alter improving almost steadily till las
Sunday, he began to retrograde, and or
Monday evening, the 10Th inst. alarm
inm symptoms set in, and we had little
hopes after that time. We consider his
protracted grief at the condition of hi'
country, and the continued suppression
of his strong feeling, the chief remot'
causes, and excessive fatigue and men
tai application the Immediate cause o
congestion Of the veins of thr brain; ant
though not producing apoplexg, of whief
there was no evidence (he moving every
muscle almost to the last ho'r1, this con
gestion caused most serious loss of ner
vous power, and resulted in lesion of th'
.substance of the brain itself. Our who'll

The three humorists, Nasty, Billings,
and Twain, are thus described by a
Boston Correspondent Of the New York
Evening Post: "Nasby dislikes the
title of humorist. He uses hun,er, as an
instrument for the enforcement OF his
points, which always involve some po-
iitical principle. His best holt, as he
calls ii, is no doubt sstrong horse sense. :
Josh Billings is q bonn humorist, genial
aud tender-hsarted. and heartily loved
by those who know him we'll. He once
said thae nething would delight him
more than to lecture in Music Hall
when he was eighty years old, with
white hair falling over his shouldcrs,
and .Iifts the audience. He is now a
bout sixty years of age. Mark Twain
il more purely literary man than ell
ther of the trio. He is very sensitive
and an unappreciative audience acts up
Oh him like cold shower bath. Twain
win not lecture next season; ne has go'
riches and married a wife, and wisely
prefers to take his ease"
