Civil Rights seems to embrace mat
ters of taste in their comprehensive
grasp, take this illustration, furnished
by the Marion, Va, Herald:
MIscEaINATIoN.- "A short time

to respectable family near Mont
gomery. Ala, eloped with a negro

Governor of Alabama for their appre-
hcnsion. They were arrested near
Wytheville one day last week, and
breught to town. and the negro COM
mitted to Jail. He was released al.
most Immediately, however, under
the civil rights bill. The friends Of
the misguided woman took charge Of
her and started for her home in Ala

THE BoDY OF Mrs. RANSOM. We
have already stated that the body of
an unknown woman who was drowned
in the food, was discovered a few
miles above Richmond, on the Ches-
terfeld side of the river. Through
some criminal negligence, the body
of the unfortunate woman was left
exposed on the bank of the river, for
several DAYS, during which time she
became a prey to the buzzards, and
nearly all the flesh was eaten from
her body. and in this condition she
was buried. From description OF
the clothing worn by the drowned wo-
man, and the rings found on her fin
gers. it is believed that the body was
that of Mrs. James Ransom. who was
drowned near this city, and her hus-
band, we learn, has gone to Chester.
field to see IL he can identify the body.
If it should prove to be that of his
unfortunate wife, it will be removed
t. this city for interment.
From Lynchburg to Richmond, by
the river, is about ll6 miles, and that
a body should be washed that distance
is something very remarkable

DEATH OF THE Hon. RoBT. RIDG-
WAY. 1t is with no ordinary emo
tions of grief and sadness that we
have to announce the death Of this
highly esteemed gentleman, which oc'
buried at the home of his birth and
childhood, in Amherst county, on
Sunday night last. Our friend (and
we use the word in its highest and full
lest sense) suffered long and severe
illness. The seat of his disease was
the brain, and from the first we had
serious apprehensions that it would
prove fatal. l.-Lyachburg Vrgi"idn.

his son at West point, couselling him
to do his duty at all times, giving ut
terance to the sentiment, duty is
the sublimest word in our language"
HIS RECEPTION IN VIRGINIA.
From the Norfolk virsinian.)
Having thrown up his commission
he repaired TO Richmond, where he Of
fered his sword to his native State, the
reply to which was his appointment as
MWor-General in the command of the
Virginia troops. We all remember
the grand reception awarded him by
the convention, and few more solemn
or august spectacles have adorned our
annals than was presented on that
memorable occasion.
The venerable Mr.. Janney received
him in speech marked by certain
atique pomp, which rose TO genuine
eloquence ut the end of his address,
aud lent additional solemnity to the
impressive scene.
General Lee replied with character
istic modesty, and said "Mr. President
profoundly impressed with the solemni-
~ of the occasion, for which l must say
| was not prepared, 1 accept the posi-
ton assigned me by your partiality. ]
would have much preferred had your
choice fallen on an abler man. Trust
ing in Almighty God, an approving
conscience and the aid of my fellow citi-
zens, l devote myself to the service of
my native State, in whose behalf alone
Will l ever again draw my sword"
In this brief response to the elabo-
rate address delivered by the president
of tn convention, we see that the an
imating principle which controlled
Gen Lee was that of duty, and that he
looked to his God and his conscience
for the approval of his momentous
decision
HIS LAST GENERAL ORDER.
When tile terms of surrender had
been agreed on, Gen. Lee publishes the
following order to his heroic troops:
HD'QRs ARMY NORTHERN VA,
April 10, 1865.
After four years of arduous service,
marked by unsurpassed courage and
fortitude, the army of Northern Vir-
ginia has been compelled to yield to
overwhelming numbers and resources
i need not tell the survivors of so
many hard fought battles, who have
remained Steadfast to the last, l have
consented to this result from no dis
trust of them, but feeling that valor
and devotion could accomplish nothing
that could compensate for the loss that
would have attended the continuation
of the contest, / have determined to
avoid the useless sacrifice of those
whose past services have erdeared
them to their countrymen. BY the
terms of the agreement, officers and
men can return to their homes, and
remain there until exchanged.
You will take with you the sdtiSfdc-
ton that proceeds from the CONSEQUENCES
of'duty faithfully perform ed, and earl :
estly pray that merciful God will ex-
tend to you his blessing and protection.
With an unceasing admiration of
your kind and generous consideration
of myself and aiiectionate farewell.

General.
