Death of Gen, Hardee.

Lieutenant General William j. Hardee
died at Wytheville, Va, Thursday morn
ing last. The Constitutionalist, of Fri
day, says:
"Our night dispatches bring the sad
intelligence of the death of Lieutenant
General W. J. Hardee, formerly OF the
Confederate States Army. One by one
away. He illustrated that manhood
which Jefferson Davis characterized as
too %, oatd to eat the leak, or 6o,o the
knee to mortal man" Our people will
remember this noble Georgian long after
the mouldering fingers of time" shall
have defaced the memories Of many who
caused this hero and his gallant corps,
those "nights of danger" and days OF
waking" which his comrades of the
Western Array shared and remember "
Gen. Hardee's remains were carried to
Selma, Ala, on the Sth, for interment,
and were met at the depot by vast con
course of citizens. Stores were closed and
business was suspended, and the whole
people united in honoring the illustrious
dead, and the funeral was perhaps the
largest which ever took place in Selma.
Thousands were ut the cemetery, for the
people loved Hardee. The Generals old
war horse, Shiloh, with empty saddle,
and his old Confederate gray coat upon
it, brought tears to the eyes of many n
man who had seen the loved form Of the
