C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1 DEATH OF GENERAL ROBERT E. LE=. HIS CAREER. Personal Reminiscences. His Residence at Arlington. General Robert E. Lee, whose serious illness athis home, in Lexington, Virginia, was an- nounced in yesterday's STAR, died yesterday morning about half past 9 o'clock, aged 63 years S months and 23 days. A deep feeling of gloom is reported to have pervaded the whole commu- nity of Richmond on the receipt of the news. The bells will be tolled on all the public build- ingsin that city to-day. The Governor will o#i- cially communicate the event to the Legislature, the Council will take appropriate action, and all business will be suspended. A HISTORICAL PAMILY, General Robert E. Lee was a member of the historical family of Westmoréland Lees, his tirst American ancestor being Richard Lee, who set- tled in the nortLern neck of Virginia; and whose grandson, Thomas Lee, was one of the leatling men of the Virginia colony and president of the council. Richard Henry Lee, son of Thomas, was the first to move in the American Con; that the American Colonies be independent, and, with bis brother, Francis Lightfoot Lee, signed the Declaration of Independence. Gen- eral Robert E. Lee was the son of the famous “Light Horse Harry Lee,” a nephew of Thomas Lee, (before mentioned,) of Kevolutionary fame. The maiden name of General Robert E- Lee's mother was Annie Carter, daughter of Charles Jarter, of Shirley, Virgivia. GENERAL LER'S EARLY MILITARY CAREER. General Lee entered the Military Academy at West Point in 1825, being then about 19 yearsof age. He took the head of his class immediately upon ee the academy, and kept it until he graduated in 1829. In 132 he married Miss Custis, the daughter of George W. Parke Cas- tis, the adopted son of General Washington, and through her became t! proprietor ot Arlington House, and the White House on the banks of the Pamunkey. During the Mexican he was & captain in the engineer corps, and was an oes 1 favorite with General Scott. In the official reports of the engagements before the city of Mexico conspicuous mention is made of his shilland gall When the intelligense or John Brown id on Harper's Ferry was received here Capt. R. E. Lee was dispatched by the Secretary of War, in command of a com- pany of U.S. marines, to protect the United tates property, which was supposed to be in imminent danger of being destreyed by . the raiders. Capt. Lee directed the breaking in of the engine house by the marines, and the cap- ture of John Brown and party. COMMANDER-IN-CRIEF OF THE CONFEDERATB FORCES, Upon the secession of his native State, in April, 1861, the Virginia convention appointed bim commander-in-chief of her forces, and on April 20, 1861, (Fort Sumter having been bom- barded and surrendered on the 13th,) he sent his resignation of his position in the U.S. Army to Gen, Scott. He arrived in Richmond about the 25th of April, and immediately entered upon the duties of his office. His subsequent military career is well known. Aftera brief cou:mand in Western Virginia, which was unsuccessful, he was appointed to fortify the city and harbor of Charleston, and having accomplished his mission returned to Richmond. {n 1362, be suc- ceeded Gen. Johnston, who had been wounded, im command of the Confederate army around Riehmond, arenes ‘inst Gen. McCle!la: and remained commander-in-chief of the Coi ee army trom that period to the end of e war. SINCE THE WAR. In August, 1865, he was offered and accepted the presidency of Washington College, Lexing- ton, Va., and was installed October 24 of ti year. Latterly, in addition to his collegiate ties, he consented to accept the office of presi- dent of the projected Virginia Valley railroad. HIS PRIVATE CHARACTER. The private character of Gen, Lee was with- out‘reproach, and he always commanded the respect and admiration of the southern people After being relieved of thé command of West Point, he was granted leave of absence, and re- sided at Arlington with his family, during which time he frequently visited Washington. “He was very fond of ladies’ company, and always showed the greatest respect to the sex. His coi versational powers were d, though every word he uttered seemed to be guarded. HIS COOLNESS IN BATTLE, As an instance of his coolness under trying circumstantes it is related that during one of the hottest fights in Mexico he was with General Scott making observations, when a ball from the enemy struck @ post or tree very near him, knocking the bark and splinters ‘in his face. General Scott excitedly exclaimed, “Lee, are you hurt ’” to which the latter replied “no,” and carelessly brushing the bark and dirt from his person proceeded with his observations as it nothing unusual had occurred. He had but few “bos m friends,” and there is not anofficerin the city 1} ow with whom it can be said that he was very intimate. His manner being reserved he was vot easily approached, though he was al- ways regarded as the perfect type of a dignified officer, When he resigned bis commission in the U. S. army Gen. Scott was deeply affected, and remarked to a fellow-officer that “Lee was a valuable man, and his services were worth millions a day to any government.” MRS. LER. Mrs. Lee bas long been in poor health, and when they resided at Arlington she was seliom able to go into society. BIS ADMINISTRATION AT WEST POINT is said to have been rigid, but kind towards the cadets though with an entire absence of any partia'ily. His owngon Fitzhugh was there at the time and was always treated the sama as other dets, no fpecial favors being shown him. Some Virginia youths who received ap- jOintments there thoaght they would be the favored ones as the commander of the post was frcm their State, but in this they were sadiy mistaken as ho was very strict and always a rigid diseip!inarian. He never allowed any in- trngement upon the rules no matter what the circumstances or occasion might be. HIS RBLIGIOUS BELIEF, CC. In religious belief he wasan Episcopalirn, and while residing at Arlington attended Christ Church in Alexandria. It is eaid that he refused to o dressed to him durin, until he had made u; mission; his reason influenced by any ap n letters ad- the secession excitement is mind to resign his com- ing that he would not ve peals or olfers from those he loved. His devotion to General Scott was it. He was also intimate with Major John then Judge Advocate of the Army, and with 43° General Ooopen, y wil jjutant His CHILDREN. His ons, Custis, Fitzhugh, and Robert, and his dsughtere, Mary, Agnes, and Mildred, are living in Virginia. ste, Tue Freperick Races.—The following races came offat the Fair in Frederick, Md., yes- terday: As rackers to saddle, J.
