. J. E. B. Stuart were interested in Hollywood Cemetery yesterday afternoon. The funeral services were performed at St. James's Church. We reprint from the Illustrated News a sketch of the life of his great cavalry commander: The subject of this brief and imperfect notice, whose name awakens enthusiasm throughout the Confederacy and terror to the farthest borders, of Yankee land, is the son of the late Archibald Stuart, for several years a member of the House Representatives of the United States from the district which then embraced the county of Patrick, in Virginia, where, we believes he was born. At a very early age he gave token of a quick and active mind, and under the fond care of devoted parents of the highest social and moral worth, he grew up to manly statue marked by every trait that gives promise of future distinction. His father died ten or twelve years ago, full of honors; his mother yet lives to witness with joy the service he is rendering to his country, and th

not wish to be convinced, that the only choice left to the South was the surrender of its institutions or the secession of the States. Alas! we cannot doubt from the above extract where Daniel Webster himself would have been found in the present contest. "I urge you, gentlemen of the South, to go among your people and beg them to accede to the demand on the part of the North.--They are resolved on it, and unless the South yields the country is ruined." What "country" is ruined? The United States.--The destruction of the grand Republic was, in the eyes of Daniel Webster, the greatest of earthly calamities. The grand peroration of his reply to Hayne, of South Carolina, in which he prayed that his dying eyes might never look upon States "dissevered, discordant, and belligerent." spoke the deep feelings of his ardent and powerful nature. He worshipped the Stars of the Union as the Persian worships the Sun, and believed in his inmost soul that when they disappeared from the horizon

The Netherlands and the Confederate States. There were many features in the memorable struggle of the United Netherlands with Spains which strikingly resemble those of our own contest for independence. Odds even more gigantic, an enemy equally be sorted and ferocious, determination and heroism in defence as stern and inexhaustible. We have not yet been exposed — we devoutly hope we never may be — to such a trial of human constancy as that which followed the murder of the Prince of Orange, when a medal struck at the period, represented the struggling ship of state as a dismasted hulk, with the motto, "incertum quo fata ferunt. " But the mariners on board that submerged and almost sinking vessel, had souls that, like the Æolian harp, gave forth fiercer blasts as the tempest increased in strength, and with one heart resolved, in the language of Herle, the English emissary, in a letter to Queen Elizabeth, "to revenge the foulness of the act committed on the Prince of Orange by the

An act of public Devotion. The Whig, of yesterday, thus appropriately notices a remarkable act of unselfishness and patriotism in an officer holding a high military position: "General Pemberton yesterday resigned his commission as Lieutenant General in the Provisional Army of the Confederate States, and went into active service in the field as Lieutenant Colonel of Artillery. This action on the part of General Pemberton exhibits a highly laudable spirit, and goes far towards sustaining all that his friends have claimed for him as a man of patriotism and honor. It is no time now to criticise the military conduct of unsuccessful Generals, who, what ever errors they may have committed, manifest, as in the case of General Pemberton, so much unselfishness at this critical period of the country's history. The magnanimous people of the Confederacy will remember, to his credit, his present conduct; and those who have felt bitterly towards him will be strongly inclined to mitigate thei

The secret Police System of New York. Not long since a man names Hilton was arrested in New York upon the charge of printing bonds for the Confederate States. He was a loyal leaguer, and asserted that he was merely printing counterfeits of the Confederate bonds. He was sent to Fort Lafayette. Shortly afterwards. George H. Briggs was arrested and sent to the same prison, and also James S. Chalker, an inspector of customs. After Briggs got into the prison he was allowed to make some staculiar situation, found it convenient to make a tool out of him to carry out their purposes. They compelled him by threats of personal violence, and by threatening him also with imprisonment through the influence which they had here with the United States Custom House officials, to assist in writing the letters which were intercepted and to be the party to supply information to the New York postmaster regarding the letters. Briggs had several interviews with those Confederate agents, and mani
