RICHMOND. October II.

A message has been received here by Mr.. A.
M. Kelly Chairman of the Committee of the
House of delegates, to the effect that the fami-
" of General Lee would not be averse to the
burial of his remains in Hollywood Cemetery
in the section belonging to the State. The
House Committee, therefore, left this city this
morning for Lexington. These facts were an
nounced in the Legislature this morning and
that body adjourned over till Tuesday next.
WASHINGTON, October IA.
A very large and impressive meeting OF cit
izens was held tonight, at Metzerott Hail, to
pay respect to the memory of General Lee.
The meeting was presided over by w. w: Cor
coran, ESQ.,, with number of Vice Presidents.
and Secretaries. A series of resolutions were
adopted, unanimously expressive OF the sentl-
ments of the community, after which addresses
were delivered by James NJ. Carlisle, Esq,
Richard T. Meraick, Esq, and Col w. Z.
Phillips. 49,. ~
General Lee remarked, two years ago, to
General Pendleton, that he did not expect to
Live longer than two years more. The evening
he was taken sick he was unusually bright and
cheerful The remote reason OF General Lees
death was the long continuance of depressing
moral causes, commencing with welgnty re-
sponsibilities and anxieties during the last year
of the cause he loved and the condition of the
South since has had upon him. He bore all
with calm exterior, and devoted himself to the
duty of the hour, but the fbres of his great
heart were at last broken. The proximatee
cause of his death was mental and physical
fatigue, inducing venous congestion of the
brain, which gradually caused cerebral exhaus-
tion and death.
LEXINGTON, VA, October 16.
General Lee was buried yesterday. Every
house was draped The State Legislature and
many distinguished persons were present. The
officers and soldiers of the Confederate army
acted as guard of honor. The Episcopal fl-
neral service was read and the sermon omitted,
in accordance with General Lees request.
The Committe of the Virginia General As
sembly received no assurance that their re-
quest to bury General Lees remains at Rich
mond would be granted. The removal of the
remains, however, is probable.

heath Of an Aged Minister.

We are panied to record the death of Rev.
Bryant Burroughs, a minister Of the Baptist de-
nomination, which sad event occurred at his
residence in this eoanty on Tuesday morning
last, in the 18th year of his age. He had been
in bad health for the last two years, and his
death was not unexpected. He was nativeo of
this county, and had served in the ministry for
more than forty years, with faithfulness and
ZEAL Mr.. Borroughs devoted the best energies
of his long life to his Masters cause, and as
the messenger of Death approached, gave abun
dant evidence that he was confident OF the re-
ward in store for the finally faithful. In his
death, the community loses valuable citizen
and good man.

Episcopal Convocation, Greenville District.

A convocation, composed of several clergy
men and laymen from this and neighboring
counties, met in Grace Church in this place
last Friday afternoon. The business was at
tended to in a very orderly and quiet manner.
The appellation of "Greenville" was given the
Convocation. 1t adjourned on Saturday, hav-
ing selected Yorkville as the next place of
meeting.
The exercises of the Sabbath were quite i'm
pressiye and interesting. There was one ap-
plicant for confirmation, and one candidate for
ordination. The candidate for orders was pre-
sented by presbyter and ordained by the
Bishop. The Ordination sermon" was deliv-
cred with much feeling and pathos by that elo-
quent, good and noble gentleman, the Rev. Ell
L1soN CApERs. This was succeeded by the SOL
emn celebration of the Lords Supper.
Among things that usually attract the atten-
ton of most people is the announcement OF the
first sermon by minister. 1t was generally
known that Rev. WIN. 81. CAMPBELL who had
been ordained in the -moriiing, would preach in
the evening, and, consequently, there was
goodly audience. His text was from Genesis
xix: 10: "The sceptre shall not depart from
Judah, nor law-giver from beneath his feet,
until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the
gathering of the people be-" The subject was
handled in most mastery manner, being re-
plete with interest and filled with historical
truths. Having enchained the attention Of his
audience, the speaker compared in learned
way the events of sacred and profane records
of parallel dates, proving clearly that victories
over stronger forces was not so much attributa-
BILE to physical strength and courage as to an
interposition ofHis, arm that all things should
be as He had foreordained, and, in this in
stance, that an opening for the coming of the
Messiah might be accomplished: Logically
speaking, we have heard few sermons that
could equal, none that could excel this dis
course, Mr.. CAMPBELL is very fine speaker,
possessing rare combination of talents, and
his admission has been a great accession to the
Episcopal ministry.

PALMETTO.

General N. P. Banks has been visiting
General Breckinridge at Lexington, KY.
The New York Sun Radical suggests the
name of Hon. James R. Doolittle as the Demo-
cratic candidate for President in 1872.
President Woolsey, of Yale College, has
announced his intention of resigning that posi-
tion in July, 1871, by which time he will have
completed service of twenty-five years in that
position.
Views of Richmond, and other places, as
they appeared during the prevalence of the
food, have been taken by photographers, and
are already in the market. In this world no
calamity can occur that will not be turned to
somebody's profit.
= The French losses, so far, amount to q
quarter of million of men, three quarters of
q million of cannon, and material absolutely
UNREASONABLE.
1t is said that there are proofs to show
that the carpet-bag Governor of Florida con-
venes an extra session of the Legislature for the
convenience and profit of interested parties
dollars to do so. 1t is said further that he has,
in the last two years. increased the State debt
from S500,00O to S15,000,000, and has, with the
help of his Legislature, imposed upon the peo-
pie taxes six times greater than they were two
years ago. There are in the State but about
10000 actual taxpayers, and upon each of
these is now imposed an annual burden of
ninety -three-dollars in gold. In nearly every
other Southern State where Radicalism has full
sway, pretty much the same condition of affairs
exists.
- The death of Prince Frederick Charles of
Prussia depriyes the German army of one of
its best and most trusted leaders. He was born
in March, 1928, and in 1854 was married to
Princess Mary of Arhalt-Dessen. The fruits
of this union were four children, all of whom
are living The Prince became prominent in
1S4S, during the Schleswig- -Holstein campaign.
In 1S49 he was staff officer of Prince Will
liam, and participated in the Baden conflicts.
He was wounded at Wiesenthal. The history
of the deceased in connection with the present
war in Europe is too well known to need repeti-
ton.
- 1t is worthy Of mention, both to the credit
of the winners and for the singularity of the
occurrence, that Messrs. Montgomery & Sons,
of Hurricane Landing, Mississippi, who won
the five hundred dollar premium for the best
bale of New Orleans or long staple cotton ex-
hibited in that city, are colored men. They
raised the cotton on the Joe Davis plantation,
Mississippi, and were formerly slaves owned by
Joe Davis himself, who was nephew of Jeff.
Davis. The Messrs. Montgomery are farming
also the JEFF. LAWS plantation and are spoken
of by those who know them as industrious, en-
ergetic and intelligent men.

The Election.

The utmost quiet and good order prevailed at
the polls in this place yesterday. The coiored
people voted early, and returned to their homes.
About one thousand votes were cast at the three
boxes,fand as every effort was made to bring
the colored voters to this point, it may be set
down that they have polled large majority.
We are fully assured that there will be fair
count, and our friends abroad may remain SAT-
isfed that Anderson county will give an i'm
mense majority for Carpenter and Butler We
hope to announce the result in our next issue.
