Lee Memorial. A lack of space has heretofore prevented us from publish ing the following. We hope all of olir State papers will give it an insertion ia their columns : . Richmond, Jan. 1, 1873. To the, ladies ot the South and all others who wish to do honor to the memory ol the lote General Robert -;'sI$.-Lee. v- At a meeting of the Virginia ' Divia ion cl the Army of NorthernjVirginia, held at Richmond, October 31,. 1872, the following - resolutions, offered by Lieut. General J. A. Early, were unani. mously adopted : " " . I Extract ; Uesohedy That the sarcophagus, now in course of preparation ' by our Vir ginia artist Valentine, to be placed orer the tomb of General Robert K Lee, a Lexington, Va., commends itself to special favor as. pronvir;gv fropa the ucauiy ui iuu uesign ana ine skih oi toe sculptor, to be a worthy memo; ial cf pur departed chief. Resolved, That for the purpose of as suring and expediting the completion of this noble work of art, to. be placed, as a fitting token of a whole people's love and homage, above the ashes of their departed hero, we recom mend to the ladies .of the South to hold memorial meetings on the next anniver sary of the birth ot General Lee (Mon day, January 20th, 1873) and to take such measures as shall to them seem best for collecting money on that day to be specially appropriated to the decoration of his tomb by the erection of the said sarcophagus. Hesohed, That Sergeant George L. Christian, of Richmond, Va., be, and he is hereby, appointed an agent to receive from all sources such contributions as may be made for the purpose of parry ing out the intention of the foregoing resolutions,, and that he advertise through the public press for this pur pose. It is earnestly hoped and expected that the ladies ot the South will take such steps at once as will carry into effect the duty assigned to them in the foregoing resolutions; and they are re quested to transmit the proceeds result ing from their efforts to the undersigned. Contributions are also earnestly solicited for the purpose above mentioned from all who love and wish to do honor to the memory of our great chieftain. All contributions and communications should be addressed to George L. Christian, Secretary Virginia Division Army Northern Virginia, Richmond, Va. All newspapers throughout the coun try favorable, are most earnestly re quested to insert the foregoing. SrpEBcon CouRT.--The business of the Court yesterday was occupied en tirely in the trial of the three colored men, charged with burglary in entering the store house of Mr. Hicks, about four miles from this cit, on the Holle- man road, a full account of which was published m the News at the time of the outrage. The evidence elicited so. far is sub stantially the same as that given before tae Magistrate s Court, with the excep tion ot that of Mr. Hicks, who was on the stand over an hour. Mr. Hicks testified that he was aroused at about 11 or 12 o'clock by a knock at the store door, (he was sleeping in the back room of the store.) Upon opening the door, three colored men came in, ana one called lor lour pounds of meat: arhile he was in the act the meat: he was knocked down and became insensible. This was on Saturday night. He did not return to consciousness till Monday at 12 o'clock and the, first persons be saw, after he knew anything, was Sheriff Lee, Mayor Whitaker and the reporter of the Daily News, who . were stan ding around his bedside. He was riot positive but thought the prisoner.Simp son Mordecai, was one of the three that entered the room. The other portion of his evidence was fully corroborated by that of other witnesses given at the Magistrate's Court. The case is one of much interest &nd the very best legal talent of the city is represented pro and con. Messrs. Cox and A. M. Lewis for the State, and Messrs. Edwards,T. P, Devereux and J. II. Flemming for the defendants. The testimony was conclu ded last evening and the argument will begin at 10 o'clock this morning. Wno is to Blame. The bridge over Walnut Creek on the Hellaman road is in an almost impassable condition and whoever crosses there leaves hope on the other side. Our country friends, who are necessarily compelled to come to town by this route, are actually atrau to risk their lives oyer this uilapnla ted and worn out structure. Somebody is to blame for this gross neglect of duty and, as we have repeat edly called the attention of the proper authorities, whoever they. are,to the con dition ot this bridge and nothing ha3 been done, we now respectfully call the attention of the grand jury that they may ferret out this wanton neglect and find out who is to blame. A New Trade. Since the renting of the market stalls, several booths have been erected at various places on the streets, where several of our old stall- keepers, who were unable to pay the high prices for stalls in the market house, recommenced their business. Mr. II. Poole, the old oyster and fish dealer in the. market, has erected a very con veniently arranged booth on the corner of Wilmington and Hargett: streets. where he keeps on hand, at all times, the celebrated Rock Island oysters, ffesh, fish and. wild ducks, &c, &c. Social Party. One i.f the most pleasant, agreeableland enjoyable affairs of the season was xthe social party at the residence of Jacob S. Allen on Wed nesday night. We attended, (of course,) took a hand "in a game we did not un derstand" and, as a consequence, came out as the heathen Chinee, on the bot tom. When and where will the next of these pleasant sociables occur. Give us a showing. ' City Finances. The finances of our ' . - " x rcity, of which much has been saidand little known, being a matter of general interest to our whole people, and re garding it our duty to shed as much light thereon as in our power to olatain, we yesterday wrote a letter to our City Treasurer asking a written report of the same lor publication. In accord ance therewith the prompt and efficient Treasurer, Mr. Churchill, Bends us the following which is a copy of his regular QUARTERLY REPORT. From July 1st, 1872, to January 1st, 1873, there has been paid into the City Treasury : By M. Grausman, Collector......... $22,722 16 By Jas..t.

The funds ac cruing from the portion sold was applied to paying city employees and Bank obligations, also $1,000 for Rescue Steam Fire Engine. . The small amount of money recieved from the different collecting officers of the city has been applied to paying July interest on City Bonds, and $500 for new Hook and Ladder Truck, and interest on Bank debt. . I have received from the Ex-Treasurer, on settlcment,$4.981,31,makicg the sum total for N which I am accountable, $60,244.03. I am happy to state that I have city warrants, bonds, &c, on hand sufficient to make a full settlement with the city. The January interest on the one, two and three year bonds will be paid in a few days. M. W. Churchill, Citv Treasurer. State Items. From the columns of that sprightly paper, the Eoanoke News, we glean the following : The new railroad bridge over the Roanoke, at Weldon, is about to wash away. .. .- .,. A negro was shot at Crowell's X Roads, Halifax county, the other day while attempting to commit burglary. No new cases of small pox in Wel don. It is reported that several cases! have appeared in the neighborhood of i Littleton. Our readers will recollect the case of a young man who was shot, a month or more ago, while attempting to enter the house of Mr. H. D. Ponton, near here. He was shot in the left arm, which was amputated, and he was then confined in Halifax jail to await trial for burglary. The wounded arm had measurably healed, under the care of Dr. O'Brien, of Halifax, and he was thought to be doing well. For a week or more past, he has been perceptibly declining, refus ing sustenance lor some days. He died some time during last week, from some disease superinduced,, it was thought, by his relusal to take food. ; When he found he was slowly but surclv eying. he asked to see Sheriff Reid, saying he had something to tell him. Unfortu nately the Sheriff was away and did not reach him before he died. We learn, however, that he relieved his burdened heart to a fellow prisoner, making some startling disclosures, as to the existence of a rtgular organized band of robbers in this tection, of which he was an important member. We have suspected, and so stated, that such a band was in force in our county and the dying man's statement confirms our sus picions. The band was composed, so he stated, of some five of six negroes and white men, who had a camp near Ponton's residence. The negro prisoner, to whom the ante mortem statement was made, could not irecoilect all, but told sufficient, and gave names to im plicate two or three notorious negroes who are well known around Weldon. Premiums Awarded. The Execu tive Committee of the State Agricultural Societv has awarded' the following premiums for field crops : Irish Potatoes ; To James Norwood, Orange county, for the best yield on one acre, 322 bushels of early Goodrich ; 15.

Betts, Wake county, for best yield on four acres, 174 bushels ; $20. ; Oats: To James Norwood, Orange county, for best yield on one acre, $20. There were some affidavits concern ing corn crops, but as they did not come up to the required standard, no pre miums were awarded. Small Pox in Franklin. From a private letter to a gentleman in this city from Louisburg, we glean the latest small pox items : . The disease is in tight miles of Louisi burg. About twenty five rases have occured, nine of which proved fatal. The namesof the parties that have died areas follows: Mr. Derrill, the man that brought the disease in the county ; four of Mr. Roger's fomily ; two of Mr. Gun's ; one of Mr. Dickinson's and a son of Mr. Andrew Jackson. There is still much alarm and apprehension manifes ted' by the people, especially the citizens of Louisburg. It. is hoped that its spread will be ar rested, as every effort is being made to wards that end. Entertainment at Oak City Hall Friday Evening.

Secretary Fish on Emancipation in Spanish j Colonies. Washington, Jan. 9, On the 29th of -October last Secretary Fish, in ad dressing an elabortite letter to Minister Sickles, alluded to the tact that the Ministry of Spain bad given assurance to the public, through their organs ol the press, and had confirmed the assur- ance to uenerai lCKies persotia.iy, oi their intention to! put into opuau ;u a series of extensive reforms, eu.b.'iu.i; g somfl ot those wh:cJi tius Government has been earnest in urging upon their consideration, in relation to the Colonies, which are our near neigh bors. The SpanishjGovernment,partly at our instance.passed an act providing lor sradual emancipation ot slaves in the"! West India colonies. This law, so far as the. State Department is aware, re mains unexecuted; and it is feared the recently issued -regulations professed ly for . its execution, - are wholly in adequate to any j practical results in favor of emancipation, it they be not really in the interest of the slaveholder, and of ihe continuance of the institution of slavery. While the United States fully acknowledged their obligation to the general rule which requires the ad ministration to auscain irom interierence in domestic concerns of others, circuni stances warrant partial exceptions to this rule. In the support of which the Secretary enters into an argument and says ; "All who countenance lukewarm ness or neglect in carrying emancipation into efiect, must more or less be liable to the change of duplicity or bad faith, a change which every man of honor in high slatiou ought to endeav or to avoid." General Sickles is instruc ted in decisive, but respectful terms, to remonstrate against the apparent failure of Spain to carry into effect the eman; cipation act to which she is committed. If Spain permits l.er authority to be silently and practially defied io Cuba by a refusal or neglect to carry into effect acts of the Home Government of a hu mane "tendency it is tantamount to an acknowledgment of inability to con trol the insurrection' in Cuba, which Mr. Fish says has now 'lasted four years. Attempts to suppress it, so far futile, have btca made probably at a sacrifice of more, than a hundred thousand lives and. an iucalcuabie amount ol property. r(ur commercial ana other connections j rth that IUahd. compel us to take v. warm interest m its peaceful and order ly conditions, without which there can not be prosperity. Cuba being separated from this country by a narrow passage: the temptations for -.' reckleSA adventurers here to violate our law, and embark in hostile expeditions thither is great, despite the unquestioned vigilance ot this Government to maintain neurality and the efforts with which the approaches to the Island have been guarded by the Spanish cruisers. The said the proximity ha3 led Cubans ;ird other partisans 01 the iiiurjjcntd to tftlie up their abode in the United Static, actuated by the hype that proximity would enable them advantageously to plot and act for the advancement of their .cause in the Isladd. The Secretary says we certainly have reason to expect that the great strain upon our watchful ness to thwart those schemes occasioned by the long duration ot hostilities in Cuba, should have some termination through a cessation of the cause which hitherto has been sustained to make it necessary lor the discharge of our duties. In the performance ot them, we arc conscious of no neglect, but the trial to our impartiality by the want of success onthe part Jot Spain in suppressing thex revolt is necessarily so severe that unless she shall soon be more successful, it will force upon this Government the consideration of the question whether duty to itself and to the commercial interests of its citizens may. not de mand some change in the line of action it has thu3 far pursued. The Secretary reminds General Sickles of cases respect ing citizens of this country of caees ol seizures of estates whttiibaye l been referred backward4,, and ' forward "between Madrid and Havana to the very verge of the exhaustion of all patience. In the meantime the proper ty of the citizens of the United States has been held . in violation of treaty 1 a. i a i r f oetween mis country ana opain. : The Secretary further says to Gen. Sickles : "it is hoped that you will pre sent tne views.aDoye settorth ana tne present grievances of which this Govern ment mnrhlv rnmrilnino tit tha f5nvrn k .. , merit to vfhich yeu are accredited, in away which, -without giving . offence, will leave a conviction that we arein earnestn the expression of these views, ' and that we expect, redress, and that it it should nbsoon be offered, Spain must not be surprised to .find, as the inevitable result ct the delay a marked change in thefeelinand in .the temper of the people of the. Government of the United States." Nx - ; , Believing that the present Ministry of Spain is i a sufficiently confirmed position of power to carryxput tho measures which it announces, and the reforms which have been promised, and to do justice by the removal of the causes of our well-founded complaints and not doubting the sincerity of th assurances which have been given, the United States look for the realization of these hopes. . -O- ' Congressional Proceedings.- Washdtgton, Jan. 9.
