in its history.
Gen. Lee remarked two years ago
to Gen Pendleton that he did not
expect to live longer than two years
moro. The evening he was taken
sick he was unusually bright and
cheerful. The remote reason of
Gen Lees death was long continu-

commencing with the wcighty re-
sponsibilitics and anxieties during
the last year OF the war, and the
effect of which, with the overthrow
of the cause beloved, and the condi-
ton of the South since, has had

exterior, and devoted himself to the
duty of the hour, but tho tibres Of
his great heart were ut last broken.
Tho proximatc cause of his death
was mental and physical fatigue,
inducing a vonous condition of the
brain, which gradually caused GER
cbral cxhaustions and death.

her death TO Gusts and Fitzhugh
Lees grandson. Taxes being un-
