Lee.| In our last issue we merely had | time and space to say “Gen. -J dead!” Nothing tlmt has over fallen I from human lips has carried with i | greater weight, or been fraught witl I darker elements of grief than thi g bare announcement to the Southeri I people. Nothing from our feeble pen I as it traces the lines on our papei I dotting the words that come gushiiq I from our grief-stricken hearts cai I portray, as it should he, the least o I the thousaud virtues of this great an I good man; and but for the fact tlm I we would be recreant to duty did w I not pay our humble tribute to hi I memory, and add another link to th f chain of sorrow that now encircle I our broad land, wa would not cloth I our columns in mourning,or say awor I to irritate t’ie heart-wounds that ar I rending the bosom of every lover c I Christianity, patriotism,wisdom, chari I ty and meekness. > We copy below from the Itichmon I Whig a short biographical sketch o | this good man, and while it is not a: I embodiment of his virtues, (a thou I sand such sketches could not anumer j ate them,) still enough is written t, I show how rapidly ho ascended th hill of fame, as day by day he adde. new plumes to his golden crown o honor bestowed upon him, not b chance, but for merit: “Robert Edmund Leo, was born ii Westmoreland county, Virginia, Jan uary, 1807. He was a son of Goner al Henry Leo, who was Governor o Virginia from 1792 to 1795, aud i distinguished officer of the patriot ar my in the Revolutionary War. Hi mother was Anne Carter, daughter o. Charles Carter of Shirly. He euterec the military academy at West Poin. in 1825, graduated second in his el as in 1829, aud was commissioned see ond lieutenant of engineers. He wa soon after married to ALi.ss Custis o Arlington, the daughter of George W Parke Custis, and thus became pro prietor of the celebrated Arlington es tate. By this marriage he had foui sons aud three daughters. In 1835 hi served as assistant astronomer for tin demarcutiou of the boundary lines o, | Ohio and Michigan. In 183‘Uie wit, promoted to be lirst lioutantant, an-.i.j in 1838, to the rank of captain. When] the Mexican war began, lie wan plat ed on the staff of Brigadier General Wool, aud during the campaign of Is -49 he was chief engineer of Wool’s army. At the battle of Cerro Gordo. April lfeth, 1847, lie was brevetteil major for gallantay. Iu tlie Augusi following he again won a brevet rank by his meritorious conduct at Contre ras and Cherubuseo. In the assault on Chepuitepec, September 13th, 1847, be was severely wouuded, and receiv - ed tho brevet promotion to lieutont | ant-colonel. On tho 21st of July, 184! \ he was appointed a member of th, board of engineers, and held tho po sition until 1800. In 1852 he was ap pointed superintendent of the militui \ j academy at West Point, but proceed’ ed under or lers to Europe with cap tain (afterwards General) George B. McClellan as commissioner to observe the operations of the allied armies be fore Sebastopol. In 1855 he was promoted to bo lieutenant-colonel oil tlie Second cavalry. .On the 16tl, March, 1861, 110 was made colonel 01 tho First cavalry. # On tlie 26th of April lie resigned] his commission, and repaired to Rich mond to unite his fortunes with those of his native State. The- convention,| then in session, had elected him com mander of the military and naval for | cos of Virginia. When tho formali-! ties of connecting Virginia with tin government of the Confederate States (already organized at Montgomery; were concluded, Geneaai Lee received on tho 10th ol May the commission ol Major-General in the army of the Confederate States, and was assigned ro command ol all the forces in Vir- ginia. lie was soon alter appointed a general in the regular army. His first active operations were in the western part ol the State. He was subsequent ly assigned to the command of the d*-| partment of the South Atlantic coast I From that position he was recalled tot Richmond by Prebident DavLs au.il made General-in-Chief, with his head-1 quarters in this city. After Genera.l Johusou was wounded at the battb I ol Seven Fines, General I,ee again! entered the field as commander ol tin I army in Virginia, and continued ii Jjjj that positiou to the close ol the war. 9 His services during that eventful p 1 riod are too fresh in the memories oil our readers to ueed recapitulation. In! 1805 he was elected President oil Washington College, and was occupy f ing that-position when death close ij his career.” When we think of General Lee a.-l a soldier, our minds revert to tho days! of the struggles around Richmond, ail Sharps burg, Gettysburg, and lastly uli Appomattox Court House when, sur 2 rounded by his half-starved, ragged * followers,he surrendered the surviving! .remnant of his army to a victor that! numbered twenty to one, with the" lairting salutation tlmt “Human •* i r» y, virturc should l>e equal to human*] calamity.” When we think of him i Mis a Vliii-tain wo have hut to follow > him'in the iiuuiblo walks of private l life—from early boyhood—as ho ush fel'od into manhood, later when he had |received all the honors his countrymen Eoould bestow, and lastly when he had! Slain aside his ‘‘suit of grey," dinged j ■by the smoke of many battles, lie] [sought a retired spot in his own na-l (live State, far away from the exciting' [circles into which ratiy of our Cap-] [rains were wont to plunge, aud there Eit his own home, in the bosom of his | mppy family, surrounded by all the I x-uuties that nature could lavish upon II given arca,ho was busy, six days, in I minting the youth of our land up- Ii aid aud onward—the seventh, in I ‘worshiping God in the beauty of ho -1 inoss.' When wo think of the mod i 2 st value placed b} himself upon his I iivn worth, we have but to remember 8 iis message to the immortal Jackson, I q>on the reception of the nows that I io (Jackson) was woundod; “I would 8 .ave preferred fur the good of mv I luntry, to have been wounded my I elf.” 1 But, “death is no rospector of per -3 ms.” With bow in hand —his fata. 1 rrow was leveled—and with well di ■ -cted aim it found a lodgment in the j oart of the noble Loo. A greatei a mie Athens never honored. Unliki a io Greek Philosopher, who at tin 3 ge of 30 mourned that he must dii I j soon, this noble ehieftuiu willingly 9 beyed the summons. ■ “Like a lutes’ brief tone— ‘ t Like a rose-odo* on the breeze* cunt— I ike a swift flush of day'Mpriu*', Been ami gone— So hath hit* spirit passed.” I “He has crossed over the river and R e; r n the other side.” Not in the I nade of the t ees that deck the bank- I>f some turbid stream, running red ■with blood of friend and foe; hut the 3 Beautiful river” beyond the shore.' | if time, where no ruthless enemy cau a idvanco to disturb his eternal repose. 1 iVho shall count our loss? Who shall | ill his place! With a hoart alive to 9 very human pang—a haul liberal to ■very human want—an intellect that .owerod above the trivial things of ■arth —who could we have spared ess? God giveth, God has taken iway; and although this great iglit, shining forth from the moun ainsof Virginia—lending its raysalik, ,u tho inhabitants of the entire hem sphere has gone out, let not the les . jus learned while it shone upon oui larkoned reasons ho forgotten, but nay we cherish them—profit by them until we, too, are called to our fina iccount. 1 li«; «| iieM ion. I The growing of cotton, at present Jovicos, is a loosing business, and the I outlook does not warrant us in saying [that prices will be much higher. Tin I piestion in the minds of many of out [planters is, what shall we do to pro- Itect our merchants ? If we sell cotton Ito meet our drafts for bacon, corn. Iguano, &c., at present prices, we will ■ not have a support lott for our fami Sties; if wo fail to place cotton in their ■ hands, we drive them to Protest. It hereby ruining their credit. The 9question “what shall we do?” has ■ been propounded to us, in all sinceri- Il.y, and we confess to some misgivings In venturing an answer, and will onl\ Ispeak what we think should be the ■action of our planters in geimral. 9 A town or city that boasts of pros- Iporous, solvent, reliable and enterpris ling merchants, can and do much to ■ wtird relieving the wants of the plan iters ; while, oil the other hand, an ■insolvent merchant, one who has no ■credit, at home or abroad, is but little ■account to himself or his country ■hence, wo hold that it is greatly to the] ■interest of our planters to come to the] relief of their merchants, if by so do-] ing they are forced to sell cotton at] less than it cost to produce it. Tliej planter that pursues this plan need! never fear of suffering for want o ! credit. Our word for it, in sustain ing liis merchant lie sustains himselt, and want will never enter his door. We are proud to know there is a good corn orsp made in ,§outbvrßst Gu., but fear there is a deficiency in the hog crop, and we must again depend on [jtlie West for Bacon. If our mer l- hants pass through this financial cri- Isis, with the letter A and figure 1 op- Ipo-ito their names in the Commercial [Agencies in the great cities of the W est we will not suffer for hog to go* {with our honuny. ; 1 Thk Wm.—Notwithstanding mul-j Itiplied columns of news are telegraph ] led daily to the leading Journals in re ] Igard to the foreign war, they fail to' I reate much excitement in our midst] I—owing, we suppose, to the fact' [that a great deal we read cannot be] [relied upon. The latest news, liowev-J j'-r says that tb" French are on risings [ground, so lar as successes are con-« [cerned: there is more unuminimity j [of action on the part of soldeiis and IfSH'ple, and there is some promise of 1 [ability to repel invasion. We have [not space to publi h anv of the hnu dredo of telegraphic rumors. h t rom Aliaiilii. Tlie most important action of the Legislature since our last, is the pas sage, by tho Senate, of Scott’s House Bill for the lease of tho State Road, a 'synopsis of which wo publish else where. Tho following bills wero re considered In the House on Tuesday l lMt: I J To authorize the city of Albany to ■build a bridge across Flint liver; to [legalize the organization of tho Cuth-j [belt Manufacturing Company S to pay j the widow of Representative FiallJ [negro, per diem relief. 'trim wuruiid tlm > niton Crop—' tlm lull}' of SuiUllcrn urs. I Tho says: It is not often that we quote the New York Tribune as authority for anything but despite its political vagaries, there is uniformity a degree of good sense in its oltsorvations on tho practical allairs of every day life that commends to the sober consideration of all.— Some remarks in its issue of Tuesday, on the present embarrassment of [Southern planters aud the ruinou policy that led to it, may, in our judg oe classed under this head. At leasil as sucli we give them to our readers! with a cordial endorsement, and tin | planting community may profit by I them if it will: “While every week of European] war ami business derangement (say I the Tribune ) buoys tho hopes of tin | wheat grower and sustains his price I m tho same ratio is cotton depressed | The declaration of hostilities in July I . llowed by the amazing vigor of tin j Prussian advance and the collapse on he French armies, has made it inert j uid more certain that thousands an I iiiousands of spindles mast cease to iin; that millions who had money to my cloth last year will have no mou y this year. Navigation became tim nous aud capital over-cautions. The result is just what all the South* eared—cotton hardly over a shilling! i pound—in fact, less than twelve amtl mil' cents, gold. It is now quite welil iseertaimd that cotton gives no proli J worth mentioning when tile price goes! lelow lilteeu cents, and none at ah when only ten is the price of good middling. At the New Orleans Fail in April, the cost of a pound of cotton was discussed, aud the conclusion .cached that on tho best alluvial soils, m a good season, and with close man* igomentjten cents will make a pound, ilut on the average upland, and with die average economy, the planter los es who does not receive fifteen. South-j cm prosperity, which for two years! .ms goue beyond all precedent in tile? Slays of the old regime, has received! i blow; the planter is disheartened;] .ho inercants are afraid to buy, anal I southern goods are gathering dust inj I.no lofts of Now York warehouses. | s “We have again and again coun-] I soled the cotton-growing States that a] fl levotion such as they have given to it' 1 angle product, for marketing which they must look to foreign countries is oad cnconomy, and can result in no .asting and permanent thrift. A com munity that lives by cotton only, oi wheat only, or tobacco, or rice, or su gar, will run over a great surface with i low and exhaustive tillage. Noth ing is returned to the soil for crop taken off. Prosperity is measured by collar i that comes over seas—not byj such time tests as the condition o.j roads, houses, bridges, churches anuj -tuck. A foreign market is a preca-J nous market. When it is good, it! ■ throws abundance of spending money] liuto tile planter’s pocket, and he scat j Iters it for tilings that perish with the! lasing. He buys a saddle horse from! I;veutacky, a carriage in New York J J.iis family indulge in expensive silks,[ rare china aud velvet carpets. “Then comes a crash; the merchanJ nas advanced several thousands on a] crop that hardly pays for the picking I cud holds a mortgage on the land.—! Expenses must be reduced, the olul luxuries are partly abandoned, an I retrenchment throws a gloom over *1.,. I iainily aud broods over the neighbor- 4 nood. Another year the price goe. I up, and with it the profusion of living I Thus agriculture, instead of proceeu-l mg with tho wise calmness and gram. I unildrmity of nature, becomes a specu I ration, almost a game. If the plantei J oecomes a gamester, what wonde.l that the merchant, tho lawyer, tin 1 politicion follows in his wake, and tin 1 whole social fabric is convulsed by ~F ■ sudden telegram from London. Cun- Bnot our Southrons see that a composed, ■ well based, established, yet progress live civilization is inconsistent witli Itheir misplaced confidence in u single [product:' and will they not take a ius- Isoh from the gloomy experience of this [year, and no longer prop all their Jnopes on a cotton bale? Though the [, /tauter makes only lu- living tins year, nd is by no means poor. The crops! at 1898 and 18011 paid him handsome* returns, and lie can command tiiel means for engaging in varied culture! and a diversified industry. “First of all, lie should arrange to’ produce ali the wheat, all tne corn, 1 aats, polk, and beet, lie consumes • tie should examine new methods and i mam whether his long, sunny sum- i mers cannot do something more for; aim than merely to open a boil of cot- ‘ ton. He can grow tigs and dry them; ; lie can raise sweet potatoes in largo quantities, pare and slice thorn, .. [and, by drying in a kdn, give tho sot [ tier and tiio sudor and tue poor of ■cities cheap and nutritious food. On jaais rough i .nd the Angora goat will [[prosper. His forests cun be made ■profitable for bark, for tanner’s ooze, land for lumber. On iiis sunny soutti lern slopes the grape will gather sweet- Wness. Thus his laud will become at-' inactive, and its value will greatly en- Ihance. If the adversity of this year Scan be made to utter an impressive Hasson on true thrilt for the South, the idoud that now overshadows tiieir in [dustry really has a silver lining.” I The Chinamen in i’exai have quit railroading and gone to cattail pick ing, at which they are exports. , 'i lio ifi 1 1 io I caw I lie Mule It mill. t Wo give our readers a synopsis of Mr. Scott’s bill to lease tlio State Road that passed the House and is n uy be fore the Senate. | It authorizes tho Governor to leased for 20 years, for not less than 825,000 , monthly, to bo paid monthly.

Utlier debts of the State road shall3 be paid out ol tlie State Treasury, and! the Governor shall draw his warrant] for the same, alter a board of com missioners, consisting of Benjamin (.’only, l)awson A Waler and George; Hillyer, shall audit them. No claim shall be paid, rejected by the Court,, or the Legislature, or that comes in the class ot rebellious claims, or is embraced in the repudiation ordinance of 1868, If a lessee dies, his interest is per-' sonal property, to bo disposed of as other property. The company shall not discriminate gin freights. No railroad or express Icompannies shall become leases,though [they may be sureties. 3 The company shall never charge a |higer rate of local freight than the J iVerago rate of our chief roads.
