Of the lost, blunted by time, WAS revived
on that day, by the arrival of 333 South

but laid down their lives in cause they
believed to be just, on the heights at
Gettysburg. They were not met with
music and oraticns and waving Of hand
kerchiefs, but solemn cortege of their
surviving comrades, with mutfied drum
0nd arms reversed, followed their moul-
dered remains through crowded streets,
silent as death. where only the quivering
lip and brimful eye was the tribute to
their memory. All along the line of

in the city was generally suspended, to

deposited in tho vaults prepared for
their reception, the Richmond Howitzers

L. ORR.-A letter to the New York Iri.

Governor Orr came to q painful end be-

two months eince he arrived in st.
Petersburg aud presented his credentials
to the Emperor. He was suffering at the
time from severe cold, contracted dur
ing the Atlantic passage. and about 3
week after his formal installation in his
new offioe he was forced to take his bed.
From that dny he did not leave his
apartments. Cold sottled on his lungs,
and afterwards passed 10 his liver, so
that his blood became seriously affected.
No serious result was apprehended, how
ever, and on Friday. four days before he
died. his friends thought he was slowly
yet steadily Improving; but on Monday

at the chapel Of the English
Society. There was no discourse, and
the pastor simply read the Impressive
ritual of the Church of England, and
closed with short prayer. The gloomy
little chapel Was by no means full.
There were some dozen ladies, English
and American, half dozen American
gentlemen in black. and thirty or forty
diplomats in their brilliSnt, yet sombre.
Court costumes. The Austrian Ambas.
sador was there and the Ministers of
Brazil. Italy. Greece and the attaches
OF other legations as well as of the
foreign Office. Mr.. J.. L. Orr, Jr., the
solitary family mourner, stood side by
side with Gen. Pomntz, the Consul, who
wore the familiar uniform of q Brigadier-
General OF the American army. The
scene was indescribably sad. After tbs
rector had finished the service, the diplo-
matists walked around the coffin and
dropped each upon it little sand. The
civilisns present did the same.

In the address OF the Rev. DR.. and
Hon, j. L. NJ. Curry. at the Baptist
semi-centennial memorial in Richmond,
last Thursday, occurs this passage:
Many historians, from political or reIi-
gious bias, ignore or pervert most signi-
ticant events. White writes the reign of
George III, and makes no mention of
Wesley or the rise of nIethodism. A
more prejudicial mistake would be to
write the history OF Virginia, or of the
United States, orlof Christianity. with
out giving prominence to the prolonged
and gigantic struggle in this State for
religious freedom, or tho restoration of
the Christly principle OF spiritual. wor-
ship. To describe an ingenious and
useful mechanism, without mentioning
the primary force and the inventor,
would be unphilosophical and unjust
TO tell Of vo!untaryism in the United
States and its success, as CONTRA -distin-
guished from and opposed to alliance of
church and State, without an Ineligible
account OF it's genesis, would be 80 stop
short just where the national or devout
inquirer demands light and knowledge" ;"
