Mr. President, My Comrades and Countrymen: There was no happier or lovelier home than that of Colonel Robert Edward Lee, in the spring of 1861, when for the first time its threshold was darkened with the omens of civil war.

Sketch of the Lee Memorial Association. Having given above the very appropriate introductory remarks of General Early, and the superb oration of Major Daniel, we will now sketch the origin and history of the Lee Memorial Association, which has so happily culminated in this splendid creation of Valentine's genius. The day of General Lee's death there was a meeting of old Confederate soldiers held in the Courthouse, in Lexington, over which Captain A. Graham, of the old Rockbridge Artillery, presided, and Rev. J. William Jones was made Secretary. After making some arrangements in reference to attending in a body the funeral of our great commander, a committee, consisting of Major J. B. Dorman and Rev. J. William Jones, was appointed to present suitable resolutions to an adjourned meeting to be held the next day—October the 13th. At this meeting the committee presented the following resolutions, which were unanimously and heartily adopted: 1. Resolved, That as humble memb

The two gentlemen to whom I allude are Colonel Thomas Ludwell Alexander, recently deceased, and Hon. Charles Anderson, exGov-ernor of Ohio, now living near Princeton, Kentucky. A few weeks ago, sitting in the office of General John Echols, in Louisville, Governor Anderson came in. General Echols held in hand the closing portions of the address by John W. Daniel at the unveiling of the Lee monument at Lexington, Virginia. While General Echols was reading and commenting upon portions of this splendid address, Governor Anderson interrupted him with the remark that no Confederate soldier or officer could entertain a higher or more reverent regard for the character of General Robert E. Lee than he did; that from the days of Miltiades to the present time he believed no character in history had proved so exalted devotion to duty as General Lee had do
