Funeral. --The remains of Capt. James K. Lee, of Company B, 1st Regiment Virginia Volunteers, who died from wounds received at the battle at Bull Run on the 18th of July, were conveyed to their last resting place on yesterday, attended by a military escort, and the members of Dove Lodge of Masons to which he belonged. Capt. Lee, by his urbane and courteous demeanor, had endeared himself to a large number of friends. He died much lamented. His walk and conversation was that of the unassuming Christian and kindhearted gentleman. His blood lies at the door of those who originated the present wicked and unholy war. His memory is enshrined in the hearts of all true Virginians. None knew him but to love him. Capt. Lee was a son of the late Hancock Lee, for many years Teller in the Farmers' Bank of Virginia.
