the lofty character of his education and profession. The blood which coursed in his veins descended in purest strain through an illustrious ancestry, running back to William the Conqueror, every record of which indicates a race of hereditary gentlemen. That the blood of Launcelot Lee, who landed with the Conqueror, and of Lionel, who fought with Coeur de Lion, had not degenerated as it percolated through the centuries is evidenced by the history of the American Lees, whose founder was Richard Lee, a cavalier of Charles the First, who removed to the New World, and is described by Bishop Meade as a man of good stature, comely visage, enterprising genius, sound head, vigorous spirit, and most generous nature. From his stock sprung a host of illustrious Virginians, the most conspicuous of whom were that Richard Henry Lee, who, in the Congress of the colonies, moved the resolution adopting the Declaration of Independence, and proclaiming that the American colonies are, and of a right

army in Virginia he made a sad business of it. Jackson is an enterprising brilliant General, with 20,000 or 30,000 men under his command; but give him the army that Lee commands, and the chances are ten to one that he would fail. The genius of McClellan is very like that of Lee, and he is the only man we know of at present who is Lee, and he is the only man we know of at present who is able to cope with him. Gen. Scott indicated him as the best commander for the whole army, and it is the rashest presumption on the part of more civilians--third rate lawyers — to remove him from it, and put in his place General untried upon a large scale. It is true, that the greatest Generals the world ever saw took command of ars at Washington on the 9th, it was not till the 19th that the pontoons started, and they did not arrive till the 22d or 23d of November--ten days toe late, and when Lee had ample time to concentrate his troops and fortify his position. Gen. Woodbury testifies that he did not receive information in time as to the movement which

Mr. Shafer's store was entered and robbed on Mayor on a similar charge, and facts were then elicited which led to the procurement of a warrant, and the searching of Mr. Lee's house. Officers Crone, Bibb and Adams executed the warrant, and discovered a piece of alpaca, which corresponded in every respect with a piece of goods lost by Mr. Shafer. When officer Adams found the goods, Mrs. Lee picked it up and attempted to conceal it. Against Mr. Lee there was not a particle of evidence. He was not at home when the goods were found, and noMr. Lee there was not a particle of evidence. He was not at home when the goods were found, and nothing was said to identify him with the affair in any way. For the defence Miss Margaret Lee was called, and testified that she brought the identical goods claimed, from Washington city, in January last. The Mayor discharged Mr. Lee, but held Mrs.
