. THEBEATtt OF LEE,
The mournful tiding* of the death of Oonoral
Lee will awaken in every Southern heart a grief
second only to that which bowed in anguish the
heads of o.ur people when the Great Captain yield
ed up his knightly sword on the field of Apponaat*
to*- ' , .. :
In thoea sorrowing days there was, however,
one bright spot shining resplendant in the midst
of the general gloom. The cause was lost ;• (he ar
mies of the Confederacy were no more ; the'crim
son cross had waved its“last on the battle plains of
the South. But the soldiers of the Confederate
armies were spoken of, the .wide-woi'ld oyer, with
honor and respect. There was no shtffcwiin their
overthrow. Manassas and Shiloh, 'Wildsrnoss and
Kiclnnond, Gettysburg and Sumter, would livo
though tho new-born nation should die., And with
every victory as with every reverse, with the ardor
of advance and the dolour pi defeat,, was joined
with laurel-twined links of stool the potent name
of Robert Edmund Loo. The born-warrior.
Jackson—right arm. of the Confederate Chief
tain—had gone to his last homo. But Lee lived
on to show, himself as groat in peace as in tho tur
moil and carnage of war.
* And now the Great Captain is dead. The kind
ly beaming eye is closed forever ; the. patriot
heart haß oeased to beat. And of him who was
all in all to the South, there remains naught but a
memory and a name—a memory cherished for aye
by eight million souls ; a name which shall livo
while virtue and valor are reverenced and loved.
For—in tho words of an English writer-r-no race
has,.in any ago, procluowd ft nobler soldier, Chris
tian gentleman and m#n than the heroic Virginia
Captain. Alas ! for Virginia, Mother of States,
veiling her angnished face ftml lamenting tho loss
of. the greatest of her ectns. . v ; - .
ItOhert 1.1 i ■ TSt
who taught the South, that peace had its triumphs
no loss than war. It was he who showed the South
how to bear and forbear—how to b,ow in patience
to the will of Him who docth all things aright. . It
was ho who counselled amity and trnst, aud by his
precious life exhorted the South to pluck out from
her breast the seed of malignity and hate.
God knows 1 our hearts are sad this day. But,
if the voice of our dead hero could be heard again,
would ho not bid his people, in all things, bo vir -
gin pure and true as steel ? Would he not bid
them press on in the rugged ways of adversity,
winning at last the amaranthine crown V . Would
he not bid them bear with even mind, as well the
smiles p£ fortune as the barbed darts of misery
and pain? « Would he not bid them, for this sun
ny Southern land, struggle, toil and , tlis <; Tin*
would he say to the South, Aud this is Ww JWson
which Robert Edmund Loe, being dead, speaks to
a Wrickeu people. '
