Col. Won Borcke's Visit to Mrs. j. e. Il.

Our readers will remember the visit of Col.
Won Borcke, distinguished Prussian officer,
two years since to this city for the special pur.
pose OF paying a visit to Mrs. ]. E. B. Stuart,
the widow of the great cavalry General, upon
whose staff he served during the war; and to
whom he was greatly devoted To his book,
entitled Memories of the Confederate War;"
published some years since, he has added an
appendix giving an account of his visit to this
country two years ago. From a translation of
portions of this appendix, as published in the
Richmond Dispatch of Sunday, We copy the
following in reference to his visit to Mrs ], E.
Il. Stuart, of this city,

are detailed at some length in temper and tone

the Stone sail Band. Arrived at Mrs. Stuart's,
whose guest he was to be. lit affecting
