The Honors to General Lice.
It is gratifying to observe the wide?
spread honors paid to tho memory of
General Lee. All through the South
these honors have been rendered to the
illustrious deceased, and many of tho
Nordhorn newspapers-tho New York
World, iu particular- have not withheld
their high and earnest tributes. Tho
FIDELITY of tho South and the MAGNANI?
MITY of tho North are thus in unison.

Tile Duty of tile Citizen--The Election
To-Morrow?
We deem it unnecessary to engage in
any elaborate effort to impress upon our
readers the duty that good citizenship
demands at their hands to-morrow. That
duty is plain. Let overy mau true to
South Carolina, and in sympathy with
REFORM, see to it that ho disoharges
his duty by a manly assertion of his
rights and his influouce.
The necessity for a reform of our pub
lio affairs is too obvious to require argu?
ment. It is a proposition self-evident.
Tho spirit of tho Beform movement is
high, disinterested, impartial and patri?
otic. The result aimed at is tho deve?
lopment of tho Stato, tho encouragement
to honest labor and needed capital, har?
mony at home, and an ora of peaco and
plenty. In linc, the Reform movement
seeks to put down the thieving and plun?
dering of officials, to reduce taxes, lessen
expenditures, and, in general, to recover
the Stato, and take it out of tho bands
of a corrupt ring, that have made our
Government "a disgrace to civilization."
To-morrow the case of South Carolina
will como up beforo tho tribunal of thc
people. It will go beforo the jury. Lot
every good and sober citizen see to it
that ho does not throw his voto away,
but that he deposits it for tho Reform
candidates. Lot no man, wrapping him?
self up in the mantle of his prido or of
his apathy, absont himself from tho
polls.
The Roman Senators who died in their
seats with curate dignity, may havo died
dramatically. But it would havo been
nobler and better for them, oud more
useful to Rome, had they met the Gauls
at the gates of their beleaguered city.
The "Gauls" are upon us. . Let us re?
solve not to die, but to live; and thus go
forth, every mau of us, to the discharge
of the duty which to-morrow South
Carolina demands of each and every
faithful son. Let REFORM bo tho word.
SINKING OF A PACIFIC STEAMER-IIIGUT
LIVES LOST.-Tho steamer Continental

Hobart K. Leo.
Tho Richmond Dispatch, of tho 13th
instant, contained the following bio?
graphical sketch of our immortal Lee:
"Robert E. Lee was born at Stratford,
in 1806. His family has been distin?
guished in Virginia for 200 years. Two
of his grand unoles wero signers of ' tho
Declaration of Independence. His
fathev was tho famous 'Light Horse
Harry* of revolutionary fame, who served
terms in tho Federnl Congress and as
Qovornor of "Virginia, and whose first
wife was also a Leo. Robert E. Lee was
of tho issue of a second marriage-tho
second son of Honry Loo aud his wife
Anno, daughter of Charles Carter, of
Shirley. As, however, ho borrows no
greatness from his ancestry, but was
himself tho 'greatest of a great linc,' ve
shall say no more as to his family.
"Robert E. Lee entered West Point
Acadomy in 1825, and graduated at the
end of tho usual term without having
had a demerit mark. In 1820 ho was
appointed brovct second lieutenant, and
assigned to the corps of topographical
engineers.. Ho served for Beveral years in
this corps. In 1832 ho was married to Miss
Custis, tho daughter of Qoorge Wash?
ington Parke Custis, tho adopted sou of
General Washington. In 183G bo was
mado first lieutenant, and in 1838 cap?
tain. Duriug tho Mexican war ho was
on tho stall" first of General Wool, and
then General Scott as chief engineer.
At tho battle of Corro Gordo, April 18,
1847, ho was brevetted major for gal?
lantry. At Chopultepeche was wounded,
September 13, 1847, and was brevetted
lieutenant-colonel. General Scott fre?
quently spoko of him in his despatches
as remarkable for his gallantry. Colo?
nel Leo was next appointed a member of
tho Board of Engineers. In 1852 ho
became superintendent of West Poiut
Academy. lu 1855 bo was assigued to
service in a cavalry regiment, which took
him to tho West. In 1850 ho was seut
to Harper's Ferry to put down tho John
Brown raid. March IG, 18G1, he was
mado colonel of cavalry in tho United
States army. His resignation of his
office in that army was dated April 20,
1861.
"Early in 1861, tho convention of Vir?
ginia selected Gen. Lee as Commander-in
Chief of tho forces of this State, her
fortunes not having at the time been
formally united with those of her South?
ern sisters. When tho State joined the
Confederacy, ho becamo u Confederate
officer. After the defeat of General
Qarnott; by McClellan, and his subse?
quent death, General Leo was sent to
North-west Virginia, where ho did not
distinguish himself. He was recalled
by Mr. Davis, and, on account of his
great skill us au engineer, he was scut to
examine tho defences on tho Atlaulic
coast. In May, 18G2, McClellan marched
np tho peninsula. Tho battlo of Seveu
Pines took place, in which General Jos.
E. Johnston was wounded, aud Generu!
Leo was put in his stead in command ol
tho Confederate forces. Soon followed
tho great, battles before Richmond, fron
Mcchanicsvillo to Malvern Hill, in whicl
Gen. Lee's narnu becamo famous tho worlc
over. In these battles, moro than 10,001
prisoners were taken, fifty-two pieces o
artillery, aud upwards of 35,000 stand o:
small anns. From this time forth, thc
hopes of tho people of the South were cen
trod in General Lee. Tho whole arm]
Was placed in bis hand-?. Ho it was thu
ordered all ils movements and was cati
tied to tho credit for tho strategy cm
ployed. Ho ordered tho movement
which resulted in tho famous battles o
tho following August-Cedar Mountain
Second Mauassas, Seo, On the 3d o
September, his army crossed tho Poto
mac, aud on the 17th was fought th
grand bittlo of Sharpsburg. Generu
Lee always claimed this as a victory
His army, however, roturued to Virginii
at once.
"On tho 13th of December, 18G2
occurred the battlo of Fredericksburg
one of tho most completo successes o
tho war. lu 18G3, May 2, tho battlo o
the Wilderness was fonght. Tho succ?s
hero, too, was complete, but Jacksoi
fell. Hero, too, General Leo showei
the greatness of bis heart in that cele
bruted letter to tho dying chieftain, ii
which he said that for his country's sak
he could wish it had been himself in
stead of Juckson that had been wounded
On tho 4th of May tho battle was renew
cd, and resulted in tho defeat of th
Federal army and its retreat, with a lo6
of 17,000 killed, wounded and prisoner?
fourteen pieces of artillery, and 30,00
stand of arms. This was called tb
battlo of Chancellorsville.
"General Lee again marched North
wards. Ho went into Pennsylvania wit!
his little army, and there, ou tue 2d ant
3d of July, 1803, fought the blood,
battles which, though rather draw:
battles than victories for either side
much moro seriously damaged that arm
whoso losses could not bo repaired.
"In Moy, 1864, occurred tho battles o
tho Wilderness, Spottsylvnnia Coui
House, tte, Sec. General Grant wn
constantly repulsed, but ns constant]
renewed his Hank movement until li
landed npou tho banks of tho Jamel
There were many battles of more c
less importance during 1864 and tho be
ginning of 1865. April2,1865, occurro
tho ?vacuation of Richmond, and bega
the retreat of General Lee's anny froi
Petersburg. April 0, bo surrendered
skeldon of an army to overwhelmin
numbers. Aud thus ended his militar
career.
"In August, 1805, General Leo wu
made President of Washington Collegt
His Jtamo and fame soon made that
popular institution. Ho continued t
hold the. position until death.
"And now what shall wo say of th
peerless mau? Language fails us. C
him ns truly os of that other illiistriot:
nun whom be so much resembled migl
it bo ?.aid, 'Ho was first in war, first i
peuce, and first in tho hearts of h
countrymen.' Ho was a truo hen
Thero was nothing common about bin
As noble in soul ns ho was perfect i
physique, be was one of those grand
characters in which all the elements I
combine'to give the world assurance of |
a man.'
"IC the heathen could say that whom
the gods love die young, we may say
that there is in contemplating General
Lee's death the sad consoling reflection
that it is not now possible for him to do
aught to diminish tho cai oom in whioh
his name is bold by mankind. 'Thu
past,' as Daniel Webster said, 'tho past
at ha-tis safe;' and now all his earthly I
life is past. Ho is now safe for a place
in the pantheon of his admiring country?
men. "
