His father waa Cs ptain Sydney Smith Lee, who left the United Stales navy at the breaking out of the war an<J joined the Confederate navy. Genera! Lee was a grandson of Gen eral Henry Lee- or "Light Horse Harry," and a' nephew of General Robert E. Lee. The mother of Gen eral Lee waB a granddaughter of Geo. Mason, and a half sister of J imes M.

This was st that period one of the most fatuous regiments in the army. It was at times commanded by 6uch distinguished officers as Albert Syd n*?y Johnson and Robert E. Lee. ,.E*rl Van Dom, George H. Thomas, William J. Ilardee, John B. Hood and others who won fame in the South em and Federal armies during the late war were officers in this regiment. Lee saw service on the Western fron tiers, and was seriously wounded in a conflict with the Comanche Indians. In 18C0 General Lee was detached from hie regiment ami ordered to re p?rt to West Point as an instructor ol cavalry. The breaking out of the war fonud the subj ect ot this sketch a Second Lieutenant on duty at West Point. When Virginia seceded he promptly resigned his position anil joined the Conlcderato army. Hin first nervice under the South was in General Beau regard's army at. lhe bailie of Ma nassas. G neral Lee became one of tho most brilliant cavalry command tts in the Confederate army. From ft Lieutenant he rose to be a M>jor General. . At the battle of Winches ter General Lee was wounded in the thigh by a minnie ball. Three hornes were shot under him during that con flict His wound confined him to his toom for ?cveral months, but as aoon HS he could do BO he was again at his post.

Sketch of the Lile and Character of Sir .Hoses Montefiore. Moues Montefiore, who died at Ramsgate, England, on the28th Joly, was the son bf Joseph Elias and Ra? chel Montefiore, and was born in Leg horn in ?784, whither the father and mother had gone from England on a visit. The family of the Montefiores amonf the Jews was one of-old stand ing, ai they had settled in^London in Oliver Cromwell's time. Moses Mon tefiores entrance i ato business was. as a cleric in a wholesale tea and grocery house, and here he gained his first commercial experiences.

Early in life his heart had been touched by the miserable-condition of his people, the Jewp, abroad, and he had long nur tured plans for redressing it. In. England there were many wrongs the fews suffered irom. Immensely con > servative, an enemy to al! Budden transitions, Meses Montefiore for more Lhnn three quarters of a century * worked for the freedom of his people. I [t was in 1828 thal Moses Montefiore >et in motion the struggle for Jewish 'mancipation, for then, according to Sagliah statutes, !'a Jew was prevent- < d from sitting in Parliament, hold- { tig any office, civil or military, un li er the Crown, or any situation in orp'orate bodies." With the repeal t f the teat and corporal inn Acta in p 828, associated with Nathan Roth- p mild and Isaac Lyon Goldumid, an lt ndeavor waa made by Montefiore to u .move Jewish disqualifications, but e: ie movement hore no fruit. The agi- ol .Hon waa, however, continued, when, hi i 1837. Montefiore became a candi- hi tie for the Shrievalty and waa elect- tl I. Before him, David Solomon, a b< ;w, held the Bame position, a bill fu iving been pasaed in 1835 enabling li, m to serve. Heading two d?puta* fr ins offering their congratulations to bi e Queen, Moses Montefiore was he lighted. Though in after life Sir gr oses maj be said to have left the in ei Sk jA'^UL^Ug^M "Jdw', BB" IP j tl ,s his^gical or social aspirations h vent, in 3tronger and perhaps more c nergetic hands than his own, he now g levoted himself to the noblest of all o auscs, that of human charity. If 1 ?.hat this good man did for his own c >eople is the more salient, it shouid f ie borne in mind that hie charities 1 irere general. The money he waa n lossepeed of he gave freely to all s reeda. There never waa a cry ol a ?rant or misery that reached hie eara t rom any part of the world that did t :ot touch his sympathies. Those acts a f beneficence which remain unher- 1 bled far surpass in number and mu i licence those the world ia best ac nainted with, lu 1827 Sir MoseB, .ccornpauied by his wife, made his ^ rat voyage to the E ist. This led to r n intimacy between the philanthropy B at and Mehemit Ali, and when in t I ter years Said Pasha sent bia BOO I Mousson to England, Sir Moses waa ? its guardian. On thia visit the de- 0 ilorable condition of the J?WB at Je- a UHalem attracted the philanthropists a Mention. Without distinction of t reed the wants of the needy were j. elieved. From thia time on the life i f Sir Moses Montefiore was Bpent in ? irresting that' march of intolerancy c md bigotry which oppressed the Jews ? n Asia, Morocco, Italy, Roumauia c md Ruaaia. No journey was too [ ong for him. Up to bia eighth decade e da activity was ceaseless. Ia 18G5 \ here had been cholera in Jerusalem, c md the fell scourge had left atarva- ? ion and misery behind it.

The seventh t r.urney to Jerusalem was made in ( IS74. Old as he waa, at a time when , aost men if not physically at least ( mentally are incapable of continued , exertion, the energies of Sir Moaea ; Montefiore never flagged. During ( the late RUBSO Turkish war, when the , fate of so many Jews waa involved, | he offered in connection with the , Turkish compasaionate fund to pro ceed to the East in the interest of the lund. It may be remembered, on the occasion of Sir Moses Montefiores one hundredth birthday last yean how numerous were the congratula tions sent to him. It had not been forgotten how in his ninety-seventh year, when President Garfield had been Btricken down, Sir Moaea Mon tefiore had offered prayera for Uar fi Id's rrcovery in toe holy cities oi Palestine. In hie religioua belief Sir Moses Montefiore waa the strictest of adh?rente to and in no way departed from the ritual of hie forefather*. His waa a noble life, and the good he did has been lasting. There ia nc Jew who should not reverence bia name. In his silent, quiet way, by hie bene factions he did much to make his peo ple respected. Such a man, however, ia lifted up far beyond the domain of 'any particular faith or creed; he rather st?nde aa typical of God's best work as a sin ga! arly good, honest, charitable and pure-minded iaa&ci^ A Splendid Stock Shows'* ' \uclioa.

NEW ORLEANS, July 24.-From the ?eche country, in Western Louisiana, eports are received of the terriblo tate of affairs prevailing in the sec ions infected by the cattle plague. A ruBtworthy citizen heard of one place o-day south of here where there are ver fifty carcasses decomposing in .bout twenty-five acres. The stench ,t night ia reported aa being intolera ile. The police jury have taken etepa o day to deatroy theae carcaaaea. Oil ias been bought for the purpose. It a said that two gallons of oil judi ciously ueed will consume a carcass. \. serious difficulty in the way is to ?et parties to execute the work. A arge hardware dealer in this place aid to day that he had sold a nura ?er of gimlets to people from the ountry. Upon inquiry he learned hat they were used for boring hohe hiough the skulls of sick horses to et, as they exjpresae? it, the I ad wa er off the brain. A large stock raia r near the place lost a very valuable ?looded mare to day. The afflicted mimais manifest the sympt?me of dind-staggers, and die very shortly ifter taking the malady. Colts and salves are just as liable to take the lisease as older stock. The number )f carcaaaes on the prairie is too nu merous to admit of burying. Mr. Joseph Jefferson lost a fine breed itallion this weok. ne propoaea to dispose of all carcasses in his pastures by burniug them, and has purchased EI quantity of oil and tar for the pur poae.

In the shoe business it is said that orders from the South have been coming in so rapidly that dealera have their hands full. The hardware busi ness is also improving. In dry goods, cotton and woollen labrica, in pain ta, oil and lead, the aame activity pre vails. The Northern merchante are preparing for a heavy business in tho fall. The prospects for a good crop here justifies them in doing so. If the seasons hold out a larger crop than ever before will be raiaed.
