HoNoRING THE MEMORY OF GENERAL LEE
We take the following from tho N. Y. Star:
The ball st the White Sulphur Springs, Va
TO raise funds for monument to Gen. Robert
f. Lee at Richmond, has been represented :.
brilliant ard moro like those in antI-war tinla.
at this famous place than any since. Gen Leo
was 60 enshrined in tho hearts Of the Southern
people. as no ls now in their memory, that II l.
not strange the flower and pride CT the South
should be gathered there on that Occasion. Tho
Issues Of tho war are buried as far as the great
mass of the intelligent people Of the South Gee
concerned. though bitter pattisans of the North
desire TO keep them Rl!vo for party purUosG:
but the brave and high minded people cf thai
sectlon can never forget tho virtues, heIoi.D'
and noble character Of the man who led tbair
armies as long as there was any to lead 1t IL
gratifying 10 know. too. that there wore many
Northern gentlemen and ladies' present 81 tie
ball t. do honor TO tho memory OF q great Alu
ericsn though he had fought agains: them Ia
our disastrous civil war. No country. probably,
Was ever SO thoroughly revoutioniZod il
short time rs III South Was let with oil tao
humiliation, poverty, destruction Of property,
plumbers by governments forced upon them,
there still remains much Of the old character of
the people, for as writer describing the ball y.
the White Sulphur SPRING., says there VIZ.
nothing vulgar or shcddy-like in all that i'm
mense crowd, but everything wore an sir Of
gentillty. Let US hope the reign Of sectiorasr
will soon BIO over, and that Northerners 0,,I
Southerners may NEE! again evorywhe' % y.
they did formerly, and as was seen st IT. = White
Sulphur Springs on the occasioa afarrol f.,
Then, thinking no more Of tho cav saa or Eittar
heroes of the North and the y. orth honor lho.s
of the South.
