Sculpture. We had the pleasure of seeing at the studio of Mr. Valentine, a bust of General Stonewall Jackson, now nearly completed, in plaster. It is a masterly work. The likeness is striking, and the whole face bears the impress of great strength in repose. It is more like Jackson than the photograph of him so familiar to every one. It is a life-size bust. Mr. Valentine has a bust of General J. E. B. Stuart partly done, in clay. It promises to be a fine work. He intends to visit Lexington shortly, for the purpose of making a bust of General R. E. Lee. If this should prove worthy of what he has already done, it will be an artistic work.

me will always be dear to me. "Save in defence of my native State, I never desire again to draw my sword. Be pleased to accept my most earnest wishes for the continuance of your happiness and prosperity, and believe me most truly yours, R. E. Lee. "Lieutenant-General Winfield Scott, Commanding United States Army." A copy of the preceding letter was enclosed in the following letter to a sister of the General, Mrs. A. M.: "Arlington, Va., April 20, 1861. "My Dear Sister be needed, I hope I may never be called on to draw my sword. "I know you will blame me, but you must think of me as kindly as you can, and believe that I have endeavored to do what I thought right. To show you the feeling and struggle it has cost me, I send a copy of my letter to General Scott, which accompanied my resignation. I have no time for more. "May God guard and protect you and yours, and shower upon you every blessing, is the prayer of your devoted brother, "R. E. Lee."

s of the Presidency of Howard College, at Marion. Alabama. "As a citizen, Mr. Curry has ever stood high in his community. As a member of Congress, and in all his public career as a politician, he was able, incorruptible and patriotic. And now, as a minister of the Gospel and an instructor of youth, we may expect to see his brilliant talents and eminent virtues employed more directly than before in the service of his country. It is one of the advantages of revolutions, that while they overthrow and destroy many fictitious reputations, they only serve to bring the labors of the pure and the good into more direct subservience to the wants of their fellow-men. Had we been successful in gaining the independence of our country, many able men would have been swallowed up in the vortex of public life who will now spend their exalted abilities in preparing another generation for a better life. Of this number we may safely say are General Robert E. Lee and the Hon. J. L. M. Curry. "

Associated Press dispatchesGeneral Grant's visit to the Rio Grands — pardon warrants — reception, by President Johnson, of General Talgar, Minister from Columbia. Washington, December 27. --It has been stated that General Grant is about to visit the Rio Grande. This is not true, however, as he will not extend his visit beyond New Orleans. For the first time since the surrender of Lee's army, no pardon warrants were issued by the Attorney-General to-day. Very few applications are now presented. The President is energetically engaged in disposing of all cases. General Talgar was to-day received by the President as Minister from Columbia.

The riot in Alexandria. Washington, December 27. --The enemies of the colored people yesterday circulated a report of a negro riot in Alexandria on Christmas day. The exact facts have now been ascertained, and it proves that a number of ex-Confederate soldiers paraded the streets, hurrahing for Jeff. Davis and General Lee. They then proceeded to attack such negroes as came in their way, and, but for the intervention of the military, scenes similar to those in the New York drafting riot would have ensued. [Two other dispatches concerning this riot accompanied the above; but inasmuch as we have the facts already in our news column, as given by the Washington papers, we deem it unnecessary to re-publish the sensation stories of the correspondent of the New York Tribune .]
