ADDRESS on GENERAL LEE.-In compll-
ance with the request Of Governor kempcr,
Governor Montague, Judges Christian and
Ould, Drs. Burrows, Granbery, Peterkin,
Edwards, Read, and many other OF our dis
tinguished citizens of all professions, Rev.
j. William Jones has consented to repeat the
address which he recently delivered at the
Washington-Lee University, entitled "Per-
sonal "reminiscences and Anecdotes of Gene
Ial r. f. Lee" The address received at the
time of its delivery the highest encomiums
from the press and citizens Of Lexington,
and the faculties and students of the two
institutions. Many of the incidents have
never been published. Mr.. Jones, it is well
known, was a gallant soldier, sharing the
fortunes of the army from Manassas to Apo
mattox Courthouse. He had largely the con-
iidencc of Jackson, A. p. Hill, Gordon,
Early, &c. and in an especial manner en-
joycd the confidence and affection OF General
Lee both while in the army and presiding
over Washington College.
1t will be gratifying to our citizens, male
and female, to have the opportunity of see
ing the portraiture of our chiettain. The
Lexington Gazette says: "The charming
feature of the address was the collecting and
arranging the various views of the subject
as warrior, civilian, aud Christian, and
blending them into one superb portrait"
The address is to be delivered in the hall
of the Young Mems Christian Association,
but not under its auspices, on Monday night.
We expect to see such crowd as only love
for our peerless hero could draw out.

bidding was spirited, and the veteran crier
(Mr. Isaac Davenport, Jr.,) knocked off $500
bags of coffee in less than thirty minutes at
% 10 22lc. per pound in gold for cash. The
cargo OF coffee amounted to $4,000.
About one-third Of the cargo was bought
by Baltimore merchants, and portion goes
TO New York, and the balance will be dis
tributed in Richmond and other Virginia
cities and in North Carolina. AS the coffee
was in more or less damaged condition
