In nuother coluin will bo found a
crillytte takeun frou the 19dinburg Re
view on Leo, and an avtihole from the4
Standaird tuion the saimo suiject.
\Vhen tho South ha'd risked all, and
lost all in that dexporato stiggle,
whon her chief mngistrat o was inl a
dungeon, when her leaders wore pro
ocribed, and when her people were
grounid beneath the hol of the op
pressor, in her agony she ap'ponied to
a enidid and impaitiitl world to judge
of the purity of her intention's, of her
transceidant valor, and of tho intel
lectual anld :ioral greatWess 'of her
chioftain i..c. And tho \vorld was
not ilow to accoid herjustico. These
fwn oxr nte 4 uorvo saufflontly to show
the ostimation in which Loo is hold in
Orcat Britain. The Edinburg Ro.
viow io one of tho leading litorary au
thoitities inl the world, and it has ever
been chary of its praise. The Lon
don Standard is also a groat leader of
publi ientimont. It is just, then, to
sy tiat Leo has received tho greatest
cong.limnat over paid by the greate.'t
jouralas of the world. While the
Grand Army of the Rtepublio forbids
tho decoration of the gravec of (Con..
fadoerato hieroci no0w lying bancauth the
sad of Arlington, the confiscated pro
pcrty of Lee, and while Northuerb
htsare filled n'it h bittei- vitupoi-a
tions~ of Southern loaders antd South
erni priciples, the world is vying to
(do us honor. A subscription lhas beeni
r'aisedl in England, headed b~y lords
and barons for the erection of a teen
umient in honor of iackson ; and the
laughlih journals are raising a monu
mioit "mol~ro lasting than brass," to
thec idol of' the South.
The artio of the standard is truly
cloquent, the prbduction of' a gr eat
writer, inspired by a noble thein'. IL
is worthy of preservation. Such tes,
timonials arc peculiarly gratifying to
