[SPACIAL TO TBS BIOjBMOKD DISPATCH.] f LMINQTOW, "Va., $Volook I?. M. i > Oct. 16, 1870, wit Staunton. J Thia ia a bright and beautiful . day, Sb sad contrast to tho feelings of our strioken people, but flt emblem of the eternal sunlight in . which the pure spirit of our noble chieftaiu now basks. At early dawn delegations from Staunton and tho surrounding country begun to arrivo, and tip to 12 o'clock the peoplo continued to pour in, until there was, despite , the fact that the washing away of the bridges out off many of the people who would most gladly have been nero, the largest orowd ever assembled in Lexington. AU olasses came to do honor to oar beloved and lost hero. HI? old sojdiers, vrhc followed him so cheerfully in thc darkest hours pf the Cob federate struggle ; the professors of the college, who ne ever treated with such marked consideration ; the students, tb whom he was in every sense a loving fathor and an unexampled guide ; the Faculty and corps of cadets of the Virginia Military Iustitute, in whose welfare and success ho ever manifested so lively an interest; the sovereign representatives of his native, loved Virginia ; tho citizens of the town and county whom he honored with his last days ; in fact, every class, yoong and old, rich and poor, white and black, turn od out to do him honor, for he was the friend of all. With a punotuality whioh would have been ploasant to the great hero if living, the following was observed as tho order of the procession : Music Esoort of Honor, consisting of officers and Soldiers of tho Confed?rate Army. Chaplain and other Clergy. Hearse and Pall-Bearers. General Lee's Horse. The Attending Pysioians. Trustees and Faoulty of Washington College. Dignitaries of the State of Virginia. Visitors and Faoulty of Virginia Mili? tary Institute. Other Representative Bodies and Dis? tinguished Visitors. Alumni of Washington College. Citizens. Cadets Virginia Military Instituto. Students Washington Col loge as Guard of Honor. At ten o'olook precisely the proc?s siou was formed on tho College grounds in front of the President's house, and moved down Washington street, up Jefferson street to the Franklin Hall, thence to Main street, where it was joined in front of the hotel by the re? presentatives of the State of t Virginia and other representative bodies in.their order, and by the organized body of the oitizens in front of tho court-house. The procession then moved by the road to the Virginia Military Instituto, where it was joined by the visitors, Faoulty, and cadets of tho Virginia Military Institute, in their respective places. The procession was olosed by the students of Washington College os a guard of honor, and then movod up through the Institute and college grounds to the chapel. The procession was halted in front of the ohapel, when the oadets of the Institute and tho students of Washing? ton College were marched through the college ohapel past tho remains, and were afterwards drawn up iu two bodies on the south side of the ohapel. The remainder of the procession then pro? ceeded into the ohapel and were seated under the direction of the marshals. The gallery and side blooks were re? served lor ladies. As the procession movod off to a solemn dirge by tho Institute band, tho bells of the town begun to toll, and the Institute battery fired minuto guns, whioh were kept up during the whole exercises. In front of the National Hotel tho procession was joined by the oommittee of tho Legislature, consisting of Colonel. W. H. Taylor, Col. fi. D. Pendloton, W. L. Riddiok Maj. Kelley, Geo. Walker, S. ?. Turner, H. Bowen, T. 0. Jackson, and Marshall Hanger ; the delegation from the oity of Staunton, headed by Col. Bolivar Christian and other prominent oitizens ; Colonel C. S. Venable, Chairman of tho Faoulty, and a committee of studonts from the University, and perhaps olhors. It is of course understood that there would have been large numbers of other dele? gations but for the known inability of our town, now rendered muoh more than usually so by breaking up railroads and the washing away of the bridges on our county roads, add the short notioo whioh the country: had'of the time of tho funeral. Gen. B. T. Johnston was in command of th* soldier guard of honor, aided by Col, J. K. Edmonson; Col. R. L. Maury, and Major J. B. Dorman. Capt. J. J. Whit?, professor in the college was chief marshal. It was remarked that the different olasses who joined io the procession mingled into each other, and that among the Boards of the College and Institute, the Faoulfcies, tho students and oadets, the Legislative committee, the dolega. tions, and tva* the clergy, wars: many who might with equal pronriety have joined the soldier guard of honor; for they, too, had followed -the-standard of Ut i?! th? days tl.W * trietl nien'fl souls. . . Along the streets the buildings were ?ll appropriately draped, and crowds gathered on the corners and balconies tg eee the procession paw. Not a flag float* ed abott th?' procession, and nothing wa? eeen that looked like an attempt al display. Dh? old soldiers wore their or. di nary citizens' dress, with a simple blaok ribbon in the lapp el of their coe ta, aod "Traveller," led by two old soldi era, who bad the simple trappinge of mourn? ing. The Virginia Military Institute was very beautifully draped, and from its turrets hung at half-mast, and draped in mourning, the .flags of all of the 8tates of the late Southern Confederacy. When the procession reached the Institute it passed the corps of cadets drawn up in a line,' and a guard of honor presented arms as the hearse passod. When it reached the chapel, whore an immense throng had assembled, tho students and cadets, about 650 strong, marohed into the left door and aisle past the remains and out by the right aisle and door to their appropriate 8lace. The rest of the prooession then led in. The family, appropriately joined by Dr?. Barton and Madison, the attending physicians, and Colonels W. H. Taylor and C. S. Venablo, members of General Leo's staff during the war, nnnnnifld ?eftts immediately in front Ot the pulpit, and the ol erg v, of whom a number wei e present, Faculty of the College, and Faculty of the Institute, had places on the platform. The coffin was literally covered with flowors and evergreens, while the front of tho drapery thrown over it was deco? rated with erosscs of evergreen and im mortelles. Rev. Dr. Pendleton, the long intimate personal iriond of Gonoral Loe, his chief of artillery during tho wur, and his pastor the past five years, read tho beau? tiful burial services of tho Episcopal Churoh. No sermon was preached, and nothing said besides tho ?implo service, in accordance with the known wishes of Cen. Lee. After the funeral services woro con eluded in the ohapel, tho body was re? moved to the vault prepared for its rooeption, and the concluding services read by tho ohaplain from tho bank on , tho southern side of the chapel, in front of the vault. The pall-bearers were : Judge F. T. Anderson, David E Mooro, Sr., Trus? tees of the college; Oom. M. V. Maury, Capt. J. M. Brooks, Prof. W. Preston Johnson, Prof. J. Randolph Tucker, professors of Washington College; Wm. ii. Prather, Edward P. Clark, students of Washington Collego; Capt. J. C. Bonde, Capt. J. P. Moore, soldiers of the Confederate States Army j Wm. G. Whito, and Jos. G. Steele, citizens of Lexington. Thoro was sung in tho chapel tho 124th hymn of tho Episcopal collect? ion ; and after tho coffin was lowored into tho vault, tho congregation sang with fine effect the grand old hymn. "How firm a foundation, ye eninta of the Lord." The vault is constructed of briok, lined with cement. The top just roaches the floor of the library, and will be double capped with white marble, on which is the simple inscription, "ROBBET EDMUND LEB. "Born January 19th, 1807. Died Octo? ber 12th, 1870." Tho burial case is ono of Fisk's patent metallic caskets, handsomely mounted with silver and lined with white silk. After the funeral tho soldiers were marched to the court house, and there unanimously adopted tho following res? olutions. : Resolved, by the officers and soldiers of thc former Confederate army, now assem? bled, That we have followed the body of our beloved General to tho tomb with inexpressible sorrow; tho last sad rites are over, and as wc venerated and loved him in life, we ardently desire to guard his sacred dust. Here at tho home of his adoption, in the cd ?Geo reared by himself and dedicated to tho service and worship of his God, moy his remains bc permitted to sleep until tho awakening which shall olotho them in robes of im? mortality. Resolved, That with thc utmost defer? ence for their feelings and wishes, wo ask leave to present to Mrs. Leo and her family this expression of our anxious desire that to us and his neighbors and friends, and tho authorities of his college, may bo granted tho favor and honor of preserving and watohing his sepul? chre. Resolved, That the seorotary of the meeting communicate copies of these and our former resolutions to Mrs. Leo. And thus have ended the funeral ob? sequies of the foremost man in all tho earth.

B?IAHKi Or OBNSSAL IVADK MA MITO rt OW THE DEATH OF OBNBBAk MSB, . Th? folio wing ws? delivered at a pub? HQ meeting in Columbia, S. 0. : Fellow oitisena : We are. oalled together to day by an announcement which will oauee profound Borrow throughout the civilized world, and whioh comes to as bearing the addition, tl' grief of a Certonal and .private bereavement. The foremost man of all the world is no more) and as that news is carried by tho speed of lightning through every town and village and hamlet of this land which ho loved so well, and .amongst those people who loved and honored and Venerated bim so profoundly, every trae heart in tho stnoken South will feel that the country has lost its pride and glory, and that the oitizeos of that oountry have lost a father. I dare not venture to speak of him as I feel. Nor do we como to eulo ?;izo him. Not only wherever ibo English language is spoken, but whor. ever civilization extends, the sorrow apart, at least, of the sorrow we feel will be felt, and more eloquent tongues than mine will tell the fame and rooount the virtues of Robert E. Leo. We need not como to praise him. We oome only to express our svmnnthy, oar grief, our bereavement. Wo oome not to mourn him, for we know that it is well with him. Wo oome only to extend our sym? pathy to those who are boreaved. Now that he is fallen, I may mention what I have never spokeu of before, to show you not only what were tho foot? ings that aotuated him in tho duty to whioh his beloved countrymen culled him, but what noble sentiments inspired him, When he saw the cause for whioh he had boen fighting so long about to perish. Just beforo tho surrender, after a night dovoted to tho most ardu? ous duties, as ono of his staff carno in to see him in tho morning, ho found him worn and weary and disheajrtenod, and tho General said to him, "How eas? ily I oould got rid of this and be at rest. I have only to ride along tho line, and all will be over. But," said he-and there spoke tho Christian patriot-"it is our duty to live, for what will become of tho women and children of the South, if wo aro not hero to protcot thora." That same spirit of duty whioh had aotuated him through all the perils and all tho hardships of that unequal conflict whioh ho had waged so heroically-that same high spirit ot duty told him that he must live to show that ho was great-groator if that were possiblo, iu pcaoo than iu war : livo to teach thc people whom he had heioro lcd to victory how to bear defeat ; livo to dhow what a great und good man can accomplish ; live to set an example to his people for all time ; live to bear, if nothing else, his share ol' the sortows, and thc afflictions, and thc troubles whioh had como upon his peo? ple. He is now at rest ; and sim:ly wo of thc South oau say of him, as wc any of his groat exemplar, the "Father ot' his Country," that ho was?rst m war, first itt peace, and ?rst in the hearts of his countrymen. MK. GKKE1Y? ATTACKS GltM UAI, CHANT AND MILITAKY MKN GI?N BttALItY* [Prom hU spoooh et St. Louis, October 3d.] Long alter the materials have perish? ed beyond recovery, we per?oive that thc true history of our raoo has not boon written. That which has como down to us from antiquity embodies tho names of a few great warriors, os man's city building despots, the founders of throe or four out of ten thousand roi ?gio ns, with two or threo remarkable strong? minded and generally ill-behaved women; but, of the great benefactors and real leaders of maukind, it tells as nothing. Ninus and Scsstris figure on its pages ; but what uro they to us ? And what did thoy whereby we aro iustructod or boncfiittcd? whilo ho who first subdued and tamed a horse, and ho who first stirrod and loosened tho soil for a seed? bed by tho help of animal strength, have utterly crumbled into nameless dust. Wo know who showed Europe how to make and uso gunpowder ; we oannot, guess who taught her to wcavo fabrics of wool and flax for doifionco against thc caprices of weather and tho rigors of Winter j wc are familiar with thc modem achievements of Marlborough, and ?Saxe, and Prussia's Frederick, whilo wo know li?tlo of Palissy, and Jaoqunrd, and Brindley, and Watt ; yot that littlo has sated our curiosity. Tho oonquests of the Great Napoleon turned to ashes years boforo he died, while those, far l aster, of our own Fulton arc still being oxtended and consolidated, yot millions eagerly pour over volumes narrating thc former, whero thousands wearily yawn ovor pages describing the latter. Right mil do vc tchou thal tho era of carnage and devastation has not closed; but is it not high time that the sway of peaceful) truslsnl industry sliould begin ? Our average reading corrupts moro than it enlightens and humanizes us. Tho approntioo wliosc every leisure hour is absorbod to gloating over tho adventurous robberies of Jack Sheppard, is oloarly not on tho highway to eran oonoo in tho trado bo learns only to dispisc; but how muoh botter calculated to Yonder him a skilful! mechanic and useful oitizen aro tho pagos of Napier's Peninsular War, Allison's Modern Hu? rope, or the Napoleonic Romances of the Rev.

NEWSPAPER HlIUSCniKliKS. The London Newspaper Press contains the following classification of news? paper subscriben, which is somewhat vaguely credited to "an American pa? per t" First Como the UPRIGHTS.-These are men who take newspapers, pay for them, and road them. Observe tho order in which these things are dome. The pay comes first-the reading] next. These mon consider they got the worth, of their money in the bargain. It Booms as fair and just to them that thc newspaper should be paid for as a barrol of tugar or ' a now coat. They never entertain any other opinion. When the year runs out, or a little beforo, they are on hand with the pay. There is no more difficulty with them in remembering this period, than Sunday or the first of January. If ono of them wishes to stop hts paper, he either calls or writes a letter by his postmaster, in due season, liko a man. This class h dear io the heart of the ed? itor. Their imago is embalmed in his warm affections. May they live a thou? sand years, and see their sons' sons, to the fourth generation. Tho second class now io mind ls the Do WELLS.-This clans is noarly rotated *.o tho other-so neur, that it is hard to toll where one' Logins and the other onds. These men always pay in advaneo in the boginning, and intond to do so continually. But memory fails a little, or some mishap intervenes, and the time runs by-somotinica a little sometimos for quite a period. But their recollection though nodding occasionally never gets sound asleep. It prooounoos tho word in duo time-''The printer is nob paid i" sod forthwith their will to do well kindles into activity. Now comes the paying up-"Meant to do so before, Don't mean to let such things pass by." A publisher oan livo with suet) mon. They have a warra place in his memory only a little back of the Uprights. If suoh a man dies in arrears, his wife or son remembers that he muy not havo paid up for hts newspaper, and forthwith institutes inquirios. Thoy remember that part of tho benefit was theirs, and estate, or no estate, see that the print er's bills aro not among their father's unsettled accounts. Next como tho EASY: DOERS.-These men believe in newspapers. Thoy havo fully settled it in their own minds that a newspaper is a good thing. They take them, too. Sometimes at thc first they pay np for the first year-at any rate they mean to pretty soon. If they havo done so, they sit down with tho comforting conviction that their newspaper is settled for ; and this idea having once got into their heads refuses obstinately to be dislodged, but keeps its hold from year to your ; a truth once-now an illusion, grey and rhoutuatio with years. The editor, mark, ing tho elongated and elongating apace in thc accounts current of their dollars, begins to ask if they aro dead or have go no to California. Now he begins to poko bills at them. They suddenly start up to the reality that they aro in arrears ; and, like men, ns .they aro at tho bottom, pay up. Thoy never dispute his bills-they know books tell botter stories than moss covered memories. If the publisher has faith enough or a long purse, and can live like a hibern?t ing bear, ho moy survivo this class. Dut if ho is mortal only, woo be to him. Tho next class is that of tho DOWN HILLER)}.-Hero wo begin to slide over to tho other sido. Thc pic? ture suddenly gots sombre. We shall dispatoh the Down Hitlers suddenly. One of those may lake a paper because wife wants one, or tho children arc zealous to read it, or a neighbor pur? suados him. When it begins to como, he dismisses all thoughts about it further. If the editor sends a man diroctly to him at the end of two or three years, ho may get somo pay for his paper, but with growls and snrly looks, fie never pays any debt if he can got rid of it, and a newspaper least of all. Still, he hates law suits, and constables, and all that. A dun has the samo c ftc ct on him that a bullet has on a hippopotamus-glanoing from hts hido ; or sinking into tho blubber harm? less. He is always sliding down hill, and soc? merges into another cines, that of TrfK Nix CUM ROUSE.-NO matter how ibis man bogan his subscription, ho nover pays for it-not be. "Ile don't like that sort of paper. It don't give any news. Ho never did liko it. Ile didn't want it iu tho first placo, nud told the postmaster so. Ho sont bnok one moro than n year ago-besides, he never began to tako it till a long time after it came, and ho hadn't had only two or three of them, nt any rate, and those ho hadn't road." Wipo him off. Herc comes tho SCAPEGRACE.-lt i& enough to say of him that ho never fails to havo a news? paper- two or throo of them. When ho thinks they havo ooma about long enough for tho publisher to want pay, ho Sondfl back with "stop it." Or ho takes up his quarters and leaves for parts unknown. Ho does not want to pay, and he don't mean to. Get it if you can* Reader, ia whioh of thc above classes aro you found ? - "You have lost somo of yonr friends, I soo," said a travolor to a nogro whom ho had met on the road, dressed in deep mourning. "Yes, massa." "Was it a near or distant relative?' "Well, porty distant-about twcnly ' four miles," waa the/oply. . New Advertisements, . OCTOBER, 1870.
