GENERAL LEE.-The Washington
correspondent OF the Richmond Dis
pltch says General Fitzhugh Lee
was at the Pennsylvania depot yester-
day evening with his daughter, Miss
Lee, VINO was going over to Alexandria
to the Carter Daingerfeld wedding,
which took place there last night. Al
the same time he met two younger
Misses Lee, who arrived by the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway from Char
louisville, where they are attending
school, and who came on visit to their
parents at the national capital. While
waiting for the trains, General Lee
shook hands and chatted pleasantly
with a number of Virginians, former
constituents of his, among them gen.
tleman from Stafford county, who re-
minded him Of an amusing incident in
the generals gubernatorial campaign,
over which both had hearty laugh.
General Lees plans for the future are
not fully matured. He will run down
to Richmond on Monday next to see
some friends there, remaining only an
evening, perhaps. He will then go to
West Point, n. y, to visit mis- son, and
in all probability will start for Cuba be-
fore the meeting of Congress, which is
next Monday week, unless detained by
something as yet unforeseen. He is in
excellent health and good spirits, and
seems TO enjoy his visit and brief vaca-
tion.
