The AVashington Star, in an article; on j the
death of GeueraJ Lee. pives the following; inter
esting, iucideuts iu his life : j) :-.; ; J. H..;V
As an iosfance of - his coolness under trying
circumstances it is related that during one ot
the hottest! fights in Mexico he was with (Jen.
Scott making observations, jwhea a ball froui the
eneuiy struck a post or tree very near him,
knocking the bark and splinters, in his face
General Scott excitedly exclaimed,1 "Iee. are
you hurt? ' to which the latter replied "no,"
and carelessly brushing the bark and dirt from
his person 'proceeded, with his observations as if
nothing unusual had occurred. He had but lew
"bosom friends." and there is not an officer in
the city now with whom it caii.be said that he
was very Ultimate. His manner being reserved
he was not easily approaehed, though he was
always regarded sis the perfect type of a dignified
officer. When' he resigned his couifnission in
the United; States Army. Gen. Seott was deeply
affected, aud remarked to a fellow officer ' that
' "Lee was a valuable tnan, alidihis services were
: wortu millions a aay to any governiiient.
I His administration at W est l imit is said to
have been rigid but' kind! towards the cadets,
though with an entire absence of anyj partiality.
His own eon Fitzhugh 'was there at the time and
was a
lway
treated the; same as other, cadets, uo
special favors shown! hini. Some Virginia
youths whoj received appointments there i thought
they would be the favored; ones as the comman
der of the ost was from their own State, but in
this tli ey were sadly mistaken as he was very
strict and always a rigid disciplinarian, j lie
m-ver allowed any infringement. upon the rules
no matter what the circumstances oir occasion
might be. ' ' I '- 1 v v : !
1 In religious belief he, was an,' Episcopalian, and
while
residing at
L .
ArJIiigi
ou
attended Christ
church in Alexandria.
It is said that he' refused to open leSters ad
dressed to him during ! the sce;essioii extileuient
until he had niade up his mind to resign his
doinmissioii ; liis reason being that, he wionld nit
he influenced by any appeals or offers from those
he loved.

The deatli of General Robert E. Lee

pressed the public throughout the entire: country
with general feelings of regret, Oldlptiejadiees
and party bitterness, if any remained tip to this
time, seeui to have been! forgotten at I the aiM
liouuecmerit of his demises. The .State; of 'Vir
ginia, now jloyal and republican, propiseS to give
h fiii a public funeral. iThe Governor addressed
a message to the; Legislature to this effect, which
was at once responded to by a unanmioiis iipro

Agricultural.
Small Grain vs. Cotton.'
From the X. C. farmer. i
The production of plenty of tniall grain is im
portant to every farming coiumuuity. aud it is
something which our planters cannot longer
ovcilook without manifest damage to their best
interests, and we here endeavor to bring the
j matter to thir attention, trusting that we may
I invoke for it such consideration that will not
J permit it to be longer overlooked or neglected.
j - Jnere can be no doubt that if our farmers
I would plant less cotton, and trire more of their
attention to the cereals, they could raise better
stock in abundance, and in the priduction of
their staple supplies for the farm realize a creater
profit aud at far less trouble and .cost of Lbor, to
say nothing of trte improvement to their lands,
which would follow a a natural consequence.
I Uut we bear fartiiersi sav thercan bare no
J success at stock raising, and when they tell u.
j of the attention they give to the subject, and
the proportion of their lands they devote to grain,
we do not wonder.
Without the strictest caie and closest atten-
I tion to the breeding aud raising of animals, and
I the m st liberal production of the grains and
grasses necessary for them, it is utterly inipojv
sible. for any community to have any cccs
j with hoires. hogs, sheep, &c, but with proper
attention given to the sulueet, and plenty of
J grain and grasses tor their sustenance, it is the
easiest of anything in husbandry, sinco to 'a c'-r-tain
extent, nature being so lavish iu her futors
to the animal kingdon they grow spontaneously.
All thisx involves, as a matter of course, the
planting'and cultivation of less cotton, bat to
the' intelligent farmers of Edgecombe and neigh
boring counties it is scarcely .necessary to adduce
any arguments in furor of reducing, the cotton
production of eastern Carolina. So far.as'wa
have any expression ol opinion on the subject,
all agree that we should and must plant less;
that we hare neither he labor, the material or
thecapital necessary to sustain us in the heavy
and exhaustive operations we have attempted to
conduct since the war While in grain and
stock raising-it is equally apparent that we f hall
reap a greater profit as the result of our labor,.
and which will be lighterand more pleasant, jfor
-'t ton growing is-of all pursuits the most iurva.
sautly laborious, and taxes ones energies and
resources further than any vocatiou a man can
follow.
The fanner who plant to produce his borne
supplies can eaily regulate his operations so as
to cultivate and house in good time nil his crops,
a . . . . , . . . ., -
,wlHen if a. consideration uot many view as they
pI',u'd- ,
v cry many farmers plant so. much cotton they
cannot even tiike time to save their corn, peua
and potatoea, before they are pernianently in
jured by the Fall weather. Nor can Ife who
produces an extra heavy crop of cotton aare it
in as good condition as one who plant less, tor
cotton like ail other crops must be housed at tho
proper tune, or wae mm aamagc is mo rcsuu,
and more time and. labir are necessary in cotton
than in the gathering of all other crops iu pro
portion. Thus it is that every year neither our
cotton or corn crops are as valuable for homo
consumption or market, ns they would bo if pro
perly gathered and preserved. : . !
Hoa Cnor4ERAxCuRE.--A coreespondent, re
siding in;Kentueky,laim8 to have discovered
an infallible cure for the hog cholera, and offertt
it free of charge to the public. It is as follows:
Dissolve thoroughly one pound of copperas iu
three gallons of warm water, andpply to' tho
wash. about milkwariu to the cncclcd auinnl, ,by
clipping info the solution or rubbing, upoo. it nu
111
til the skin n thoroughly wet. u henevefvihe
of the hoi? he-ins to l.M.k roii-h nod ncalv or
f a dark red color, apply the wah immediately,
rjont wait until the more alaruiitig aymptoma
(voluiting and purging) set in. Apply tho wao
every dav until the scales are removed.
1 he correspondent states that this remedy has
been tried repeatedly, and without a aingle failure-when
the directions were properly followed.
At any rate, it is worthy of a trial. ,
.Indigestion in Hoksf.s Whenever tha
evil is noticed, the animal must have a piece of
rock salt and chalk constantly placed in his rack,
and a little pipc-chiy. m.ignesi.i, or other ante
acid; in his water. If worms h i v been passed,
give three, drachma of. aloes dissolved iuturpen
. I a ft im a
tine aud a pint ot gruel. Jiali an ounce eacn
of ginger and gentian, and half a drachm of sul
phate of iron, should subsequently bo ad mm ut
tered twice a day, fo impirl tone to the diges
tive organs, t urning the animal out to grafa
in the spring of the year, whero it can bo bene
fitted by exercixe and fiesh air, will bo found
to be very beneficial. "-, '
Anecdotes op Lincoln. .Miss M. Vcot-
worth has a paper in Putnam's, for November,
giving ra'rs-mal reconectioin of Mr Linoolo,
Here are some anecdote said to be new: Jhe
conversation turned to Mrs. Lincoln fear thai
some of the Southeru women might have hidden
weapons to take his life, and it was her earnest
request that women fchould not be admitted, ex
cept in company of gentlemen known to tho
Executive Depart incuts.
The -President answered, with Jnucw anima
tion, that he did not feci aOaid.-and sthen he
added, solemnly : dj not consider that I
have ever accomplished anything without tjod. j
and if it is His will that I must die by the hand
ofati assassin, I yiust l resigned. I nrjt ds)
my duty1 as I see it.'and leave the rest with U4
Igoto amusements vtry much against my in
clination. I go simply because. I must hare
change. I laugh because I must not WCCDJ
that's all that's all."
The President was speaking of sudden death.
"I believe you are ready to die at any time'
said a friend to him? . '
"No. I am not ready," said the President,
mournfully; "each daj a I look. over its events
and incidents, as I think of those I have tuada
happy, of thwel have made miserable,! see
that i might have been truer to my neighbor,
truer to my God." ,
