one pbint upon which the veterans—as .id * the wont' ir
of veterans and old campaigners-^-were constantly,
in modern phrase, M chaffing ooe another.” Tlfi*
was the great difference.—the contrariety, we mty
say—iu their ideas and habits on the subject of pe-
coniffry management and economy. Gen. Wash
ington was a strict .economist, a very metbocHcal,'. f
prudent, and, according td the high blooded Virginia. ’ ’ : ’
cavaliers, a* close and exacting man in all his bust- *
ness transactions. Gen. Lee, on the other hftod,
was a profuse, careless apd injudicious manager of *
his private affairs—always heavily in debt'and em
barrassed. The one never foiled to chide and M- r'
prove the-other for bis extravagance and thriftlesa-
ness, whilst the other, who had the advantage of his
old chief in ready wit, never failed to retort by some
story ofhis stinginess and motfey closeness. On
one occasion, wlien Gen. Harry Lee, who was a *
great judge oT horse flesh, had taken the trouble to
procure a fine riding‘horse, for Gen. Washington,
the latter found much fault with him and critiefoed
severely his various points. Gen. Lee, who could
not admit the right of even the illustrious Father ef
his Country to question his horse judgment, answer
ed the several oqectlons made by Gen. Washington
to the horse’s “points,” »nd at last summed «p<njLbe
audacious remark; “ Now, General, yon bare, not
stated your real reason .for not liking this horse.”—
“ What is it 7” asked the Generali “ It is your in- .
feroal.closeness.” Whereupon the stern old hero
smiled and sah): “ Well, Harry, I mnst take him, I
suppose; but I expect you will bring me to ruin* •
yet.” This doleTul prerfictiop’ was ccvfer reacted.. >:

This distinguished zoldier and high-toned gentle-
ao has accepted the post of President of Washing-
in College, Virgiuia. It is aleosaid that'his son,
ustis Le^Jtaa been appointed to the vacancy occa-
oneihbjrKtdeuth of Gen. T. i. Jackson, in the
lejjJI^.^W^ltistituto.. It- may not be general-
rknown thst lOTkrt E. Lee has always cherished,
us one of his highest and noblest aspiration*, the
athbition of pre-iditig over a large institution of learn
ing. Some time before the war, be was the regular
correspondent of hie old classmate, the Lite Bishop
ot JUMisiana, (afterward* Lieut. General) Leonidas
Polk, on the subject of the establishment of H large
University, which was projected by Bishop Po!lc fc
apd hadmet tho most liberal encouragement through
out the SouthiVesti This University hs<t already
boeu placed iq a fair way of an early organization,
die location •'bad been, decided upon—Beersheba
Springs, one of lira most beautiful aud healthy re-
gioos of Trnuesar©, and the foundation was to bo on
-tiie most lUraral scale. Gen. Polk devoted all hia
ardor and energy to" the prosecution of this scheme,
and had designated Lfeut, Col. Robert E. Lee as
the president of tbc University of the Southwest,
with lira aqyout of all its trietids. Col. Lee had
agreed to accent the position. The. war interrupt,
ed and has, we fear, postponed for many yeses the
execution oi this design. When the war commenc
ed Bishop Polk visited Richmond to consult with his
did Trinods of the church and tlra army in regard to
hw course. .He had always beep a conservative in
I kili tic a I eentiments snd tendencies^ ai)d was, strong-
posed to the designs of-the .ultra South party.
.Lee was of the same schoo 1 . His father, Gen.
jrarry Irae/was a prominent leader of the old JPed-
era! party fo the Nortliern Neck of Virginia. He
the assault the next day with largely increased force.
Meantime the city authorities took the matter in
hand, arrested Hanson’s partv,nnd lodged them alt ‘
for their own protection in the city prison. The
mob, then, with the cowardice of all mobs, broke la*
Co the prison and fell upon the defenceless prisoners
and bent them so as to cause the death of several,
including Gen. Lingan, and leaving the reqt for
dead. Among the latter was Geu. Harry Lee, who
was terribly wounded and suffered greatly tberelrom
dunng the remainder of his life. .
Gen*R..E r Irae, though of very diflorent tqmpef,*
isposition and tastes, inherited some of the qualities
nd talents of his father. He also inclined towards
the conservative or .national political views which
his father always cherished, and wkfth in his ycasc
took the form of, a.bitter and-fierce-Federalism. The
son was never a Democrat or a States Right man,
though from his position in the army and nis great
repugnance to party politics, he held aloof from all
partisan contests. Perhaps throughout the whole'
South there were no two men who eqibfirfcql ja.tbe
.late rebellion, with more profound sorrow and withr'
larger sacrifices of old'attachments, political fedliligs
add family and social ties arid Interests, than Robert
B. 1 ee and Leonidas Polk. The conclusion to which

Every honest mind must respect the motives qf
these two distinguished men, bow much soever the
causejn which thay embarked may. be condemned.
I’hey made enormous sacrifices to test and indicate
their sincerity. The one offered up bis life and a
fine estate, and the other sacrificed a splendid posi
tion in the old army, of which he was acknowted to
be the most accomplished soldier, and a fortune am
ple enough to satisfy the highest ambition cr avarice,
and to afford adl-thd'gratification which a gentleman
of elegant tastes and a large apfl&Ute for fqntl eu-
lectfon of his rntiulate persoqal and political friends
jmanif&itedu decided preference tatlie bid .Federal
part/- In the latter‘riays of Gen. Washington,
when living la .the retireraeut of Mount Veruau,
Gen. Harry Lee was a constant visitor at that place,
and.tlra.two.veterans might be seen almost every
day-riding through the fields and along. .-the shaded
