POPULAR TRIBUTES TO HIS MESORT. l*st Moment? of the Great Captain, LEXINGTON. October 13. This community was plunged into profound sorrow upon the announcement of the death ot General Lee. The varions church tells were tolled, and a general suspension of the duties at Washington College, the "Virginia Military Institute, and the minor schools tc>ok j place. They will not resume until -after the ' . funeral ot the great chieftain. Every business house was closed, and crape affixed to the doors. Even the colored barbers shut tip their shops, and s general expression of grief . was visible. Washington College, the college chapel, the Virginia Military Institut- and the Episco? pal Church, where -trouerai Lee worshipped, werj draped io moerniug a lew hours alter j i s death. General Lee had "beeu almost entirely un? conscious since Monday night, and expired . very peacefully at half-past 9 o'clock Wednes-; day morning. He was first taken sick on' Wednesday evealng, September 28, "while Just about to sit -down to tea, when he suddenly sank in bis chair insensible. He soon re? vived, and In, the cohrse of ti, next ten days steadily improved, until it was hoped he was out of danger; but on Monday evening last he became suddenly and rapidly worse, and continued to sink until Wednesday morn? ing. During the early part of his sickness he slept much and spoke but little; but was ra? tional when awake, and always recognized those who approached him. At times his mind seemeu lor awhile to wander,-end on several occasions reverted to the army. He once ordered his tent to be-struck, and at another time ordered that Hill should be sent lor. He suffered but little, and died wlthout'a struggle. He will be burled on Saturday, October 15, at 12 o-clock. The place selected for-his interment is a vault beneath the college chapel, which stands in the midst ot the college grounds. This was the fret btrildhig erected after his removal to Lexing? ton, General Lee having declared that lt was proper that the first thing the college did should be-to dedicate a house to the ser? vice of -religion. Here he- -will appro? priately -rest, -.surrounded by the monu? ments of his later years, his remains sentInel led^y the'mountains of that Virginia upon which he -has conferred such imperishable fame. The corpse was removed to-day from his residence to the chapel, where he will lie io state--until Saturday. To-day -the lac ul ll es ot the various colleges held meetings and passed appropriate resolu? tions. RICHMOND, October 13. Richmond presents to-day a scene of mourn? ing hardly witnessed In this generation. The ela- -\s ?nd public buildings are closed, the bells In all parts of the city are tolling, and on ? many doers are pictures and photographs of , GeneraLLee draped in crape,- with evergreens, i The citizens are standing: in groups in the j principal-thoroughfares, and talk in subdued ! tones of ?the-sad event. The feeling that he ] ought to' be buried here at the-S tate's expense ? is universal, and the Legislature, in making this-request of his family; reiterated public opinion. The City Council -met to-day at the call of the Mayor. -Governor Walker sent the following message to the J ene rai As? sembly.: It is with unaffected grief that I announce to you tae pain i ul intelligence of the death of General Robert E. Lee, at Lexington, on yes? terday norning. He died as he had lived, a noble exemplar of the sublime principles and teachings ol' tbe Christian religion. He goes down-to the tomb amid the lamentations ot au affectionate and sorrowing people. Of exalt? ed public and private virtue in his lite, he fit? ted the - fall measure ot our conception ot a man. A-stricken family, a bereaved State, an affectionate people, bow with reverence and hnmtfity bet?re this visitation of Divine Provi? dence, it is flt tin g that y on, the representatives ot the people should take such appropriate action as the melancholy occurrence suggests. I believe you would but give expression to the universal desire of the people should you so? licit the interment of the remains upon the grounds owned by the State In Hollywood emetery, where they may raise a monumen? tal shalt commemorative alike of their sincere and lasting affection for the mau, and their profound .appreciation o? hi.-* greatness and goodness. After rending the Governor's message, a joint resolution was unanimously passed, ex? pressive of the deep sorrow of both bouses at the sad event,.and requesting that, the body be turned over to the State for interment at Hollywood ?emetery, near the city* that, a joint committee, consisting of five members ol* the House and three of the Senate and three 1 presiding officers, be appointed to _go to Lex- 1 ington and escort the remains here, if the re? quest be granted. The Legislature then ad? journed. 1 The Tobacco Association he W a meeting an d 1 suspended its session as a mark of respect to 1 the memory ot General Lee.

Judge Melton also made some remarks at an impromptu meeting Of the cltl zene, held In the courthouse. General Wade Hampton presided and made an address; Cap? tain Caldwell acted as secretary. Colonel J. P. Thomas, in an admirable speech, offered appropriate resolutions, which were adopted. The resolutions are to be sent to'the faculty ol Washington College, to General Lee's family, and to the Governor of virginia. All the church bells were tolled all day. THE THARLN MEETING IUST NIGHT.-Ma? sonic Hall was ^pretty well filled' last night, chiefly by persons who were curious to hear what Mr. R. S, Tbarin, tho "people's" candi? date for Congress, might have to say of the Ring and its rascalities. The meeting was or-, ganlzedby calling-Mr. L. D. Turner to the chair. Mr. Turner introduced Mr. Thar!n, who spoke for more-than-aa hour, handling the Scott administration without gloves, and giv? ing an inside 'View bi its notorious corruption and profligacy. 'At* the close of the address, resolutions denouncing the conspicuous un? worthiness-of Bowen and DeLarge, and eulo? gizing the peculiar claims and qualifications of Tharin, were read, and being put to the vote, were declared unanimously adopted. FIRE OK ASHLEY RIVER.-A destructive fire occurred on'Friday last at the works of tbe Ashley Phosphate Mining Company, on Ash? ley River, about eighteen miles Irom the city. The steam engine and the phosphate works were destroyed. The origin of the fire -is unknown, but it is supposed to have been the work af sm incendiary, as the superinten? dent of the works states that he saw all ol the' furnaces emptied at the close of the day's work, and that a short time after, while passing the engine-room, he vainly-endeavored to And a stray coal with whick to light bis pipe. He ls, therefore, positive that there was no fire on the premises at dark. -At about 10 o'clock the fire was dis? covered. A day or two previous, the superin? tendent had a quarrel with some of the hands, about a- small sum of money, and the fire may have been set out of revenge. The loss will probably amount to $7000, on which there4s no Insurance. THI'RABICAL DEMONSTRATION LAST NIGHT. 1 he Sing managers in this city got up a torch? light procession last night, which, atter a , maren -down Meeting street, from theneigh borhood ot the Citadel Square, formed a meet? ing in front of the City Hall, the steps of which were lighted up lor the occasion by the lamps-which are kept burning at the expense of our already overtaxed. citizens. We reviewed this noisy turn-out from the steps of the. Mar? ket Hall. The line ot the procession was at least forty yards In length, and Included about two hundred and fifty boya, and, perhaps, one hundred men, among whom were liberally distributed some forty torches of lightwood and a.few tin lamps fastened upon poles. Some of the more earnest laborers for the? "cause" bore the burdens of seven shabby transpa? rencies and five Chinese lanterns. The first transparency bore an invitation to the keeper of the penitentiary to "Come out on the 19th for R. K. Scott." The other mottoes were mysterious. One, for example, a large round one, was, "WE Will Role. WHoT wE. wlNe. on- Wtmsdey nlGht" Arrived at the City Hall, the meeting came to order with a yell such as only some hun dred boys let loose could utter, and the Rev. Mr. Hunter was chosen to preside over the assemblage. A few men who were present, called upon Hon. D. T. Corbin, who, to the evident dissatisfaction of almost the entire party, spoke for some time. He closed his speech with the . remark that he had already spoken more than he should have done, a sentiment that was received with uproarious applause. The president then introduced Collector George W. Clark, who was greeted with significant confusion, and cries oj; "We dont want to hear him." He seemed, however, to want 'to be heard, and succeeded la makiog a harangue remarkable for nothing except its exceeding venom. He .was frequently interrupted. One victim yelled out that "The Republi? can party is not worth a d-n. They put my wife in Jail while I was absent 'rom her working for them." By this time many of the assembly became disgusted and about one-third of them left. At the conclu- ] ?lon of Clark's remarks, Dr. Bosemen -was ' jailed upon and made a short speech. He .was l followed by Congressman C. C. Bowen, who said In the course of his remarks, that he tad Deen informed that certain parties would be tppoiated to count the votes who would count bern to suit themselves, and elect their own mrty. His advic? was that the Republican larty should not submit to it, but should see j hat the votes are counted fairly, and they call ipon the commissioners and insist that the "' ?otes be counted in the presence of men rho can be relied on. Republicanism, ic said, would be a mockery, lt he votes are not fairly counted. He ras informed that one of the parties ^pointed to count the votes offers to bet that , certain candidate will be elected. DeLarge t iad offered to'turn the management of the ind commission over to him, if he (Bowen) -ould consent to withdraw his candidacy for longress. In his (Bowen's) opinion, if there I anything to be deprecated in South Caroll a, lt is the land commission. Tim Hurley illowed next in a characteristic spc;ch. He lid that the Republican party could ti ot afford, j ecause they are in the majority, to have it lld thtt they secured their election by fraud, j nd that ha was determined to have every ballot i the boxes counted for the man for whom it :as cast. Hurley was followed by the Rev. t [. H. Hunter and others, and the meeting roke up before midnight. Hurley and Bowen rere the only speakers during the evening rho were listened to with ordinary attention. . .<?.?.?- E YELLOW JACK'S DOINGS. t, NEW ORLEANS, October 13. s Th? deaths by yellow fever yesterday were a icveD. v ORLEANS STORMED.

An engagement occurred on the 10th near Bourges, between a body of Francs-tireurs and Prussians. After a short conflict the latter re - tired with a loss of thirty killed and wounded. The French have fallen back along the lett ?bank of the river. The Prussians are leaving ?Gournay and marching to Olsors, turning from -St. Quentin, and threatening Amiens. An engagement occurred at Mattlgoras yes? terday between uhlans and hussars. No re? sult given. A force of eight hundred Prus? sians and five hundred Saxons have already occupied Glsors. The Germans have also ap? peared at Mont DIdlen, where a small detach? ment was defeated by FrancB-tireurs. A telegram from Arion, Belgium, dated last evening, says heavy cannonading was heard to-day In the direction of Thionrt ile. It is said the garrison of Montmedy bas retreated to Stenay. No news is yet received from Orleans,, whither reinforcements were 6ent last eve-, nlng. Much anxiety ls manifested, as it was known that the Germans were in hea^y force in that neighborhood.

In the battle before Metz on Friday, the French made a sortie In force, and after the battle were driven back with tremendous losses. The Prussians took a great number of prisoners. The cattle in and around Metz are dying by hundreds from rinderpest The bodies cannot be burled quick enough to pre? vent epidemic. Notwithstanding a hard frost the disease ls spreading .rapidly. The French fire from the fortifications at Metz continues Incessantly. The Franc-tlreura not being uni? formed, the Prussians do not, regard them as regular soldiers of France, and shoot them on Bight. The defeat of the French at Artenay opens the way to Orleans. The Prussian occupation ot that city ls hourly expected. It is expected that Prussia, In view of her delicate relations with England, In cons?? quence ol the latter's alleged violation of neu? trality, will give Von Bernstaff, the North Ger? man Ambassador, Indefinite leave of absence, leaving only a charge d'affaires at London. It ls now said that the revolution in Algiers ls unchecked. In the Province of Constantine insurgente have gained some advantages, and feld the authorities defiance. The correspondent of the Standard charges the Prussians with constant exaggerations. He writes that the number of men and amount of material captured at Strasbourg should be reduced at least one-half irom the -Prussian figures. Prussia is now negotiating with the smaller States of Germany for national unity under Frederick In place of lederatlon. The sessions of the North German Parliament will probably be resumed. Before the meeting of the Prus? sian Diet the Parliament will be required to provide means for war and adjust questions springing therefrom. The elections for this body will probably occur on the 19th instant, and for the deputies in the Prussian Diet eight dayslater. The weather is heavy, with fearful gales. Many disasters are reported.

The preliminaries of ?he marriage between the Princess Louisa, fourth daughter ol Queen Victoria, and the Marquis of Lorne, eldeBt.son of the Duke' of Argyle, has been arranged with the consent of the Queen. The possibili? ty of the .Princess' succession to the crown ls too remote to render the alliance dangerous. It seems that the Empress Eugenio sent for General'Bourbaki, and that her object was to propose through him conditions of peace on the basis that the Prussians should retain Al? sace and Lorraine, and leave the Prince Impe? rial under a regency to govern France. When told by Bourbaki that nobody In France would tolerate even the presence of the Prince, the Empress burst into tears. The letter irom Eugenie to the Emperor, of which the Countess of Cowley was the bearer, doubtless referred to the subject. The town of AbllsJ was burnt according to the threat of the Prussians. The people, not being regular soldiers of Fiance, fired at the Prussians. Burnside has frequent Interviews with Bis? marck. The Prussians occupy Brebuel, and the Ger? mans are certainly advancing on Amiens. Rumored disorders in Rheims are denied.

The latter were defeated and com? pelled to abandon the place. A corps of Francs-tlreurs left Lyons yester? day for the seat of operations on the Loire. It ls-reported that the garrison of Monti nu made a sortie, which resulted In the occupa? tion of Stenay. ^ THE EXCITEMENT IN GOLD AND BO S HS. NEW Toitx, October. 13.

The Jail was visited, and the'grand jury take pleasure in stating as to its cleanliness and general good order. Some prisoners are dis? satisfied aa to diet, being desirous of receiving more bread and less hominy; but that ls left to the decision of the attending physician, and the grand Jury do not feel at liberty to Inter? fere with the regulations of the Institution, believing the same to be humanely adminis? tered. We recommend that a boiler be placed near the kitchen, which will add much to the comfort of the unfortunate inmates. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. The grand Jury, on reviewing the testimony In those cases that have come before them, are of the opinion that the present system of administering Justice through trial Justices la very expensive to the county and State from the number of trivial cases brought forward, and which end only In expense to the State; and the grand jury do present: That If this system be continued, a tariff of charges should be established for their government in all cases that come under the jurisdiction ot the trial justices, whether as to fines imposed or charges as expenses, and for the prevention of all abuses from any causes whatever. COUNTY TREASURY. The grand Jury do say and present-That the county treasury has not been conducted prop? erly; in this, that a system of preference In re? gard to the payment of checks without due re? gard to rotation of dates or presentation has been practiced to the detriment of public and private Justice, and calculated to weaken the confidence of the public in that Impartial Jus? tice of the State which ls the right of all Its citizens. Furthermore, the Jurors do complain and present-That the small amounts paid to Jurors and witnesses In attendance on court are, and have been, relused payment at the county treasury, compelling the holders to remain un? paid or to submit to a discount, which is a scandal to the credit of the county.

Editors : Belie ving that this ls no time to re? move from office an efficient officer who has long and faithfully served the public, and who, by his energy, courtesy, uniform kindness and consideration, has giren universal satisfaction to the entire community, we would respect? fully nominate E. M. Whiting, Esq., as a can? didate tor the office of Coroner ol Charleston County at the ensuing election. oct6 MANY CITIZENS. To THE VOTERS OP CHARLESTON COUNTY. AB the convention of the Union Reform party, which assembled on the 3d ol October, was only authorized to nominate candidates for the Senate, the House of Representatives, School Commissioners and County Commissioners, and as the question ot the election of coroner did not arise before thc primary meetings which elected the delegates to that conven? tion, my friends have seen flt to nominate me as au old and faithful Incumbent to that office, I have offered to Mr. E. L. Roche-who cannot claim a regular nomination lor the rea? sons above given, the lol lo win g propositions, to wit : That each of us should select three friends who should be authorized to call In an umpire; that they should decide upon the question of who should be the candidate- for the office, and that both of us should abide by the result. Mr. Roche has seen flt perempto? rily to refuse, and I have no other recourse than to offer myself as a candidate tor the office In which I have been tried and not found wanting, and to solicit the suffrages of my fel? low-citizens. octl3-3 E. M. WurriNO. A CARO FROM MB. E. L. ROCHE.-Tb the Voters of Charleston County ;-In reply to the card of Mr. E. M. Whitioe, I beg leave to say that at the convention of the Union Re? form Party, which assembled on the third of | October, at Hibernian Hall, be was a candidate for tho Domination of that convention for the office ol Coroner, and every effort was made, both by himself and his friend-), to secure tho nomination. I was placed in nomination and elected, and received fifty-one (51) votes, Ur. Whiting re 03?ving twenty-six (.26) votes. No iv, Mr. Whiting announces himself as an independent candidate, and solicits the suf? frages of bis fellow-citizens. He thus en? deavors to defeat the*voice of the convention, and to divide its friends. I am satisfied this effort will fail. Tho voters of this county will determine whether-where uuity and harmony ar:- essen? tial to success-they will countenance any attempt to produce division and disorganiza? tion in tho ranks of our party by a defeated candidate for the nomination.
