I,llc Late Mrs. Lee.

The Alexandria Ga-1ttc, i'll notice OF
the death OF the lamcnted consort Of the
late Gen Robert i. Lee, says:
For MANY years she llas lc2n an i'll
valid, suffering Intensely ut times from
q neuralgic affection, under which how
ever, she bore up with tortitude and
without complaint; but the death of her
husband, the great and good Gen. r. E.
Lee, and more recently the loss of be-
loved daughter, broke down tho spirit
that had so nobly battled against ILL
health and adversity, and she has been
taken to her reward.
For several years she had fondly cher
ished the hope Of ending her days at Ar
lington-the parental mSnsion-hor own
home and the homo of her children.
There she was born, there she had been
married, and there her children were
born. Naturally all her affections clus-
tered around this, to her, hallowed spot,
and as years rolled on she became more
and more anxious to return to the old
homestead, where lie buried the remains
of Il devoted father and mother, and
where she had hoped to peacefully sur.
render her spirit to the God who gave it,
surrounded by all the recollections
of happier days. But in this she
was doomed to disappointment-a dis
appointmentthat added to her recent
heavy bereavements, finally broke
down shattered constitution and death
ensued. She felt keenly the wrong I'M
posed upon her by the Government, that
without the shadow of right or justi6e,
but merely by the strong arm of power,
withheld from her own and her children's
in violation of the very. laws under
which the property was at first seized
and few there are in the land, we should
think, who will not regret that this in
justice was perpetrated, and who will
not now he willing that the restitution
shall be made to the descendants of her
whose soul has passed to happier home

concluded his oration by saying: " have

This noble savage hasa short memory;
he has not been out of Jail thirty days,
and he is now on raid, plundering and
burning with all his ancient freedom.
Santanta and Big Tree were tried, .convic-
