Capital, founded by 'Witshingto' n to be
far all time the fountain'ef politiCal power
of a united people, loomed 'tip in view,
and the many 'monuments of ;National
areatitess with which it has beeri adorned,
must have struggled withibe Mail pride
and ambition that made Robert B. Lee
a fitgitivs from his home, .a stranger to
his noblest inheritance, and a foe to lib
erty and free government Long did he
hesitate, and earnestly did his faithful
wife—trne to her patriotic ancestry—
plead for fidelity to the best of civil gov
ernments. But Virginia faltered and
was swept into the vortex of treason, and
with it was swept Gen. Lee.
I would, that be were here to-day to
fake a retrospect of his murderous; deso
lating work, amidst the deafening; thuu
ders comiog up from his own once bloom
ing fields, to tell a fathful people that an
otherlink isbroken in the chain that would
have . been woven in - the chaplets of the
relentless despot upon thirty millions of
freemen, but for the unexampled heroism
of the sons of the North. Badly indeed
would these salutes fall upon the heart
of the once happy master of Arlington
Place. They would come as the terrible
proclamation of vindicated justice—
"And make the key-note of the saddest dirge
That fancy ever played to, melancholy."
But although far off at the head of his
shattered and despairing army of crime,
he is there greeted with the same salutes
coming from the shotted guns of Grant.
Nor there alone, for from the green Sa
vannah of the South to i the farthest grin
on the North East , coast ; from the
Atlantic shore io the sunset side of the
Father of Waters; from the Northern
Lakes to the very heart of the land once
enveloped in the deadly grasp of treason,
there are salutes this hour proclaiming
that the day of our. National Deliverance
is nigh at hand. Fitly} inde,ed, might he
look out from has deserted home to the
thausand graves which are hard, by his
oldtime walks, each of which is an eternal
monument to his perfidy. Should be
enter the beautiful grounds of Arlington
now, he must pass beneath a graceful
arab, on which is woven in evergreen— .
"HERE SLEEP OUR. PATRIOTIC DEAD,",
and turn whence he might, the mournful:
track of war would confront him.-1
Thousands of the brave defenders of the
Republic rest in the very shades of;
Arlington, and ndw the warblings ofd
Heaven's sweet ; choristers who people!
this lovely forest in spring time, must be!
alone for the heroic dead, or the sadl
visitor who here learns his country's woes.;
When he turned at once upon his home I
and his country, treason held supreme I
sway in all the Southern and Border
States, and the cowardly treachery that 1
was-smoulderint , in the North, remised!
. promised
on easy victory to:those who would have :
dismembered the Republic. Since then!
four years ~f terrible, exhausting, &rait- 1
ads* and bloody war have been crowded!
into history, and the fair land of the!
Sarah is one vast cemetery • mourning
anutwant shadow every household; despair
reigns in the councils of crime, and soon
I pray and trust an all wise and ever just .
God will crown the Right with a decisive
victory. Around me on every side may I
now be heard the voices of the oppressed
who have been freed in'the throes of civil 1
war, and thoie who confessed the lord of
Arlington as master, now return thanks
to Him who accepts alike the praise of ;
the honored and the lowly, as the guns 1
of Fort Whipple shook the neglected!
halts where they lived in servitude.
- 1 --But a truce to painful memories.—
George Washington Parke Custis was a
grandson of Mrs. 'Alartha' Washington.
She was the widow of , Mr. Cnstis when
she was married to Gen. Washington,
and G. W. Parke Custis was the son of
her only son by her first busband l He
C 73.9 adapted by Gen. 'Washington and
raised hnd, educated by the Hero States
man df the Revolution. He became
proprietor of Arlington Place, whether
by purchase or by devise from Wyshing.
ton; I am not informed, and here he lived
until he more than' attained the age
allotted to mortals; He had but one
child, who marrieitißebert E. Lee, and
thus Captain Lee (aihe was then) became
the possessor of the finest estate on the!
Potomac, and also of a large estate known!
as the White House on the James River
—a place that has figured largely in
military operations on the Peninsula. I
am not familiar with the history of this'
estate but the old mansion looks as if it I
had braved the storms' of a century.—
Everything seems to, have been in har-I
mony in and about it. ' The sanctity of;
venerable - age is stamped upcn every
feature of the house and grounds. The!
collossal pillars on the !large 'portico are
nearly six feet in diameter ;the spider
as woven his silken net in the crevices
and on. the high :cornices apparently
undisturbed by the tidy servant for a
decade, and the bat may have reposed
here as generations haVe departed with
out resistance to his daily repose. The
tall columns support a,plain roof covering
the porticO, and rude elaborate carving
finishes both the external and internal
ranges ,of this massive structure. The
house is entered by a c wide hall, on the
walls of which are are aeries of very old
painting,._mostly representing revola
tionaryiittles. They are bat indifferently
executed, displaying very moderate
artistic skill,.and the frames a.,e heavy,
stained pinepand have been innocent Of
varnish fors quarter of a century. The
doors inside of the ball, and the anglels
toward the i stairway, are. graced with
huge deer antlers, probably • trophies of
some gay sporting days in the early hit ,
tory of Arlington Place. Over the win
dows, and irregularly in various places
in the hall, are indentations in the pla4-
tering, on which the art of frescoeing
seems to have leen invented. Here a
pack of hounds are in full chased' a hare,
and a troop of deer, and various othM.
chrobieles of sporting life are daubed ih
the rudest style. In the large rooms are
but few evidences remaininc , of the once
liberally furnished home of Gen. Lee.
The paintings are still on the walls, ani
a few toles- and chairs, all the worse
of use and age, are here; but nearly,
everyibing that could be carried off has
crone as' a memento of the rebel General
in chief. This curiosity seems to he
irrepreible with the American people.
An intelligent contraband, formerly one
of Lee'S slaves, informed me that when
Lee left he took only the furniture that
belonged to Gen. Washington, and "My
Lady Lee's" silver ware. A portion of
the furniture and articles he left behind
are now in the Patent Office, but van
dalism has done much to make vacant
places ib Arlington. •
Hard by, the man%ion are the ne g ro
houses;and a little to the rear are the
stables- 2 —all bearing the same evidences
of effort at display in architecture. The
negro houses have frescoed pictures over
the mildews—one of 'which represents
an eagle with a serpent in its - claws, and
the stable has the massive pillars of the
mansion in miniature, and all beat the
same Marks of age and ravages of time.
It would seem as if no repairs had ever
been made.
, ,
The large estate of some hundreds of
cres seems to have been wholly devoted
Ito pleasure. "Master, Lee," said one of
bis old slaves, "didn ‘ t raise nothing here,
and he kept only sixty slaves on this
I place. He raised all be used at the
1 White House—dere be kept over three
!hundred slaves." This was the whole
i story in a few, words. Arlington Place
was peopled with consumers—with sixty
rmenials to minister to the wants of half
la score of whites, and indolence has left
;its tracks in . wide spread decay. Now,
however, a village of freedmen nre guar-
Itered on the place. Much of the native
forest hbs been felled to clear the sweep
for the guns of the forts, anti the long:
Iworn oat and neglected fields are now.
made to bloom and give golden fruits by
the lab6r of the same slaves who hastened
its decay. A portion of the - estate, tn.!
circling the mansion on the left and in!,
the rear, is devoted to a soldiers' ceme. i
tem and there ate thousands of graveal
in regular rows to tell the sad story of.
this wicked rebellion.
Terrible indeed has been the retribii-1
Lion that has rollowed the efforts to .es.!
tablish Slavery by an appeal to war. Lee!
yielded to the mad current of perfidy that
swept the South in 1861, and drew his
sword against the most be:neficent. gov..!
ernment of the earth to make human
bondage eternal. Since then font long
years ° of bloody, :trilling:war have crim,'
Boned our history. At times-, the tide of.
victory hs.s seemed to swell toward the I
deadly fees of the Republic, and again it,
has trembled in the balance as if ready
to sweep resistlessly upon either side of
the unnatural conflict ; but at , last, after
years of agonizing doubt, of fearful sac-'
rifiee, of sublimest heroism alike in bahalf;
of tight and wrong, the fulness of His
time seems to be reached and. the life ofi
government to be fullyassured. The ;
slaves who once exhaust d the fields or
Arlington as menials, now make them i
rich with the fruits of industry inspired;
by freedom; and their once proud mas-1
ter is driven to the sorest extremity to!
defend the capital of treason, and appeals:
in vain to those who plunged him into!
war, to emancipate their slaves and send
them to his side to save the remnant of 1
his shattered army. Truly— i

1U ND WORD FOR "MOTELEft."-+
Despise not thy mother when `she is old.
Age may wear and waste a mother's besis•
ty, slrength, limbs, sense, and estate; bui
tier rOlation as mother is as the sun itheU
it gobs forth in its might, for it is alwtl •
in the meridian and knoweth no evenin
The`iierson may be gray headed, but her
motherly relation is ever in its 'ilonrisht
It may be autumn, yea, winter with
women, but *ith the mother, as mother]
it is always spring. Alas bow little do
we appreciate a mother's tenderness whi le
living! How heedless we are in all h 4
anxieties and kindness ! But when she
is dead and gone, when the earns and
coldness of the world come withering to
our hearts, when we experience bow hard
it is to find true sympathy—how few will
befrrend us in misfortune—then it is that
we think of the mother we have lost.
