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.

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.

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

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

Our average reading corrupts moro

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.
