pose of erecting a monument to the
the multitude. And the multitude is
right. In a large and true sense con
duct is more than intellect, more than
art or eloquence?to have done great
things i- nobler than to have thought
or expressed them.
Thus in every land the most con?
spicuous monuments commemorate
the great actors, not the great think?

these men of action the great soldier
has always secured the first peace in

I.cc'n Farewell AUili-ess.
Following is the farewell address ol
I General Lec to his army, dated
''Headquarters Army of Northern
Virginia, April 10, 18(53."
?Alter tour years of arduous service
marked by unsurpassed courage and
fortitude, the Army of Northern Vir?
ginia has been compelled-to yield to
overwhelming numbers and resources.
1 med not tell the survivors of so
many hard-fonght battles, who have
remained steadfast t<> the last, that I
have consented to this result from no
distrust of them, but, feeling that
valor and devotion could accomplish
nothing that could compensate for
; he loss that would have attended the !
continuation of the contest, I have
determined to avoid the Useless sacri?
fice of those whose past services have
enden red them to their countrymen.
By the terms of the agreement
officers and men can retnrn to their
home- and remain there u;jtil ex?
changed. You all take with you the)
satisfaction that proceeds from the I
I).--1 consciousness of duty faithfully per?
formed; and I earnestly pray that a
.a ?rcifnl iiod will extend to you His
great commander. It was not thought ion in a monument to Robert Lee
that such a monument was necessary
to perpetuate his fame, but to show
that the soldiers, who had followed
him, were not unworthy to have been
followers of Robert E. Lee. General
Early said it was not his purpose to
make a speech. He was glad to see so
many survivors of the war and so
many of his old co?ur;'.des. He wa s
particularly glad to welcome the
private soldier who did his duty be?
fore the war, during the war. and
who had been doing his duty and re?
maining faithful to his colors ever
since. The private soldier was equal
to the highest in rank and he cordial?
ly greeted him. (Applause.)

No man can consider his life without
a feeling of renewed hope and trust
in mankind. There is about his ex?
hibitions of moral excellence the same
quality of power in reserve that marks
him as a soldier. He never failed to
come up to the full requirements of
any situation aud his conduct com

went straight to the mark without
affectation or display. It cost him no

was not conscious that he was excep?

the belief that as lie had been some?
times unjustly blamed so he had as
often been too highly praised.

No Evidence Against Him.
Moses Jones, the colored manar
rested a few days ago by the alleged
negro detective, for selling liquor
without a license, had a trial before
Mayor Kvans yesterday and was dis
misscd. It appears that a boarderatr
.Jone-* house bought a gallon of
whisky Saturday night, ami on the
following Sunday he proceeded to
give the boys a good time, and set
'em up quite freely. The detective was
I stopping at the bouse and thought
' that Jones was selling the liquor with
[OUtll license. He then arrested the
man and took him to jail. Judge
Williams was counsel for the accused,
and as there was no evidence againt
the prisoner, he was dismissed.
