His wife lay very sick, not expected to

was buried the following day. The

~ Henry Clay used to say that there
were three classes Of people with whom
lin was never safe to quarrel. First, Min
listers for the reason that they could de-
|nOuncc me from the pulpit, and l had
none through which to reply. Second,
editors; for they had the most powerful
lengines from which they could every
day hurl wrath and fury upon me, and
II had none through which to reply. And
finally, with women; for they would
have the last word anyhow.

The winged lightning has lately
bourne no more melancholy news 10
millions Of hearts in this country than
the despatch last night which ammo ounccd
the death of Gen. Lee. There was no
General in the late domestic war that Sc
cured more profound respect from the
people for whom he fought, than the
subject of this notice and none more
worthily deserved it. Ignoring that ell
ement of Southern character that often
called ceivalry, we may attribute to Gen.
man in its highest and truest type. 1t
was with conscientious apprehension
that duty lay in the defence Of his own
State that prompted him to yield his
commission in the Federal army to ac-
|cept commission under the COnfeder-
lacy, and this prompted him and sustain
ed him in the long and terrible contest
in which he was the chief and c0nspicu-
Gus parsonage. Had he remained in the
Federal army he would have been made
Commander-in- Chief, as 1t is well known
that the advice of General Scott had de-
ltcrmined his selection for that important
position.
General Lee possessed mind of no
ordinary capacity, which had been culti-
vated, not only in the thorough discip-
line Of the National Military School, but
by devotion to science and general liter
ature. But few of those whose lives are
devoted to military pursuits find pleas
ure in the cultivation Of the more polite
branches Of learning; yet General Lee
was all his life student, and it is said
that when the failure Of the cause in
which he so earnestly battled left him
without property or employment, he
was thoroughly competent to have filed
the position Of any department of the
'IcolIege OF which he was made President,
which office he has most successfully
filled.
The couse of Gen. Lee in retiring from
the political as well rs the military arena,
developed the true greatness of his char
Iacter. He accepted the situation which
the misfortune of his cause assigned him
with dignity becoming great soldier,
land with self-respect that none could
,limpeach. There was no crOuching be-
fore the conqueror, and no clustering
,lmadness in his defeat. He, in withdraw
ling from the public, save in the position
} where he could benefit his fellow citi-
liens, ct once won the confidence and re-
.lspect Of those who had opposed most
Earnestly the cause he had espoused on
the battle field. Socially, Gen. Lee was
most genial and companlonable, and
most fortunate were those who enjoyed
his society. AS high toned christian
gentleman, as q thorough and accom-
plished General, as profoundly learned
! ;lscholaP, Gen. Lee will be remembered
7 -Iby all. In the hearts Of the Southern
g lpeople his memory will be enshrined AZ
,|in gold. They loved him like the SOL
diers of the Revolution loved Washing
: -|ton, and had the South secured her in.
! dependence the name Of Robert Il. Lee
would have been spoken with the same
or even greater reverence than that OF

THE BANK OF THE OLD DOMINION. The
Richmond letter in to. dayss Gazette announces
the foal passage Of the bill for the relief of the
Bank OF the Old Dominion. The purport Of
this bill enables the Bank to Withdraw the
small amount of State stock originally deposit,
ed with the State Treasurer to secure its crou-
lating notes. The whole amount of its out.
standing circulation at this writing we under
stand is less than twenty-one thousand dollars,
portion Of which may reasonably be suppos.
ed to have been lost and destroyed during the
burnings which devastated the State during the
war. The managers of this institution are en-
titled to great credit for the ability and integ-
rity with which they have conducted its affairs,
the result Of which has been the redemp tion of
some three hundred thousand dollars of its
notes, the settlement of all other claims On it,
and dividend of forty per ct. on its capital
stock to the owners thereof, composed of estates
of deceased parties, widows and orphans
Is there another banking institution within
this broad Commonwealth which can show such
q record ?
