Correspondence OF the Alexandra Gazette. !
MARLBORO, June 26.-Thcrc is Il lively
time down here among the many aspirants for
political honors in the coming election Of this
State Jos. +. Roberts and Geo. G.. Mcrrick
are the rival candidates for States Attorney
Both arc promising young lawyers and gen
tlemcn OF unblemished character it is hard to
say which will receive the nomination.
The crops arc very promising, and I'LL the
farmers arc nearly through their harvesting.
Your young townsman, Dr. Ed. Shcchy, is
located here He has an excellent practice,
and is the leading physician of the place, and
by his untiring energy and perseverance has
made himself the man most needed, in his pro.
fession, in this portion Of the old State OF
Maryland.
II any n' your citizens chance to come to
Maryland and drop down. to Marlboro, advise
them to stop at Gardners Hotel, as he is al
fdi in keeping a hotel, and is the prince of
good fellows.
\ Work OF ART.-Mr. Valentine, the dis
tinguished Virginia artist, was in Lexington
this week. with his model Of the snrcophagus
designed for the tomb of Gen. Ice, in the Lee
Chapel Of our University. The base of the
structure is in the form OF 4 pedestal, upon
which rises the body of the work, supported
by pillars ut each corner. On this rests the
couch, whereon rcposcs the rccumbcnt figure Of
the dead hero. On Que side of the sarcopha-
gus is the Coat Of Arms Of Eirginl, and on
the other the arms of the Ice family. One end
has cross in relief, and the other the dates of
the birth and death of General Lee.
But the striking feature Of the design is the
figure. This, with the drapcry Of the couch
drawn around it, reclincs with an air OF perfect
reposc, which seems to say, mot dead, but
sleeping The picture impression pro-
duccd upon the mind is deep slccp-Swccl re-
pose Memoy-the voice Of the surroundings
is, that he is gone something even whispers
DEATH yet this mourntul suggestion is temper
cd by the language Of the tigure-by the sweet
assurance it seems to give, that oblivious Of the
conflicts, the turmoils, the trials Of life, he
only rests from his labors. The cmbcnls Of
war are by his side but the languor Of sleep
has relaxed the grasp of the hand that held
the sword now lying useless beside it. The
likeness is striking and the whole design S,lg-
gcStve and appropriate. The figure will be
life size, with the rest Of the work in proper
tion.--Lccington Gazctte.
