ALEXANDRIA.[From tho St. Louis Beptiblicau.]

A native of Alexandria, Va., living now

across the river, has had old memoriesfreshened by the unfeeling remarks of a

correspondent of one of our esteemed con¬

temporaries, and writes this letter :

Alton, 111., June 24..(Editor St. LouisRepublican, j.What strange feelings are

awakened when, after long years, we turnto treasured memories, seeking their sacredmemorials. Gone the pleasures, liko thepretteut and to-morrow. The shifting tidesof trade, the war and railroads did it.

It requires no etf'ort to loosen a "nativeAlexandrian's tongue." They scorn sensa¬tionalism and exaggeration*; they are digni¬fied and refined, and are the representativesof the best blood of the Old Dominion. Itis one of the enigmas of the day to markhow little changed are the native residents;with them religion, politics and patriotismhave always meant one and the same thine."They still long for the good old days be¬

fore the war."As one in a dream the past is brought

back into the present; its many years seemto have vanished as a vision. The good olddays are missing, and we cannot find them.Where are they gone?

If that old clock, which once struck thehours in Washington's home, could speak,how many tales it would tell of ancientgrandeur, of courtly dames and gallant cav¬

aliers, of Old Dominion dinners and old Vir¬ginia reels, "and wit that vied in brilliaucywith the sparkle of the rare old wines." Thepast loomed up before us with golden dreams,tinted with the rainbow of promise. To-daythose dreams lie buried-in the past. Wewish our names to be enrolled side by sidewith the distinguished of earth. We wantto act well our part, not through the jaun¬diced glasses of prejudice, ever leaving theresult to that Great Being who "tempersthewind to the shorn lamb," and who givethtothe ravens their food.Various reminiscences of Washington are

connected w;th various localities ofthe town.The town and Washington came togetherinto active life. The first colony was BelleHaven, where Alexandria now stands.Washington's home when in Alexandria wason the south side of Cameron street, not farfrom the old Carey House, and not quitetwo squares from Christ church. Tho oldhouse being considered unsafe, was torndown, I think, over thirty years ago, andmuch of it was carried away to be preservedas mementoes.Many years ago, wheu I loved to wander

through the old Alexandria museum, andhave Capt. Mumford tell me what relics be¬longed to Gen. Washington, he said : "Hereis a letter written by Gen. Washington toseveral gentlemen in Alexandria only one

month before he passed away."Here is a copy of the letter:Mount Vernon, Nov. 12,179!)..Gentlemen :

Mrs. Washington and self have been honored withyour polite invitation to tho assemblies in Alex¬andria this winter, and thank you for this markof your attention. But alas! our dancing days»r0 no inoro. Wo wish, however, all those whosorelish for so agreeable and innocent amusementremains, all the pleasuro the season will affordthem. I am, gentlemen, your most obedient andobliged humblo servant,

Geobcje Washington."Alexandria's greatness has gone, but we

do reverence her past."The uative Alexandrian deals with the

questious and facts of life as they really are.

What cau be done, and is worth doing theydo. They discard the idea that little thingsare unimportant, and that great thingsonlyare worthy of their best thoughts aud en¬

deavors. During the war of 1812, a Britishsergeant of marines, who had fought underthe Dukes of York, Wellington aud Bruns¬wick, swore that no American should takehim alive. During an engagementhe killedan officer, aud shot at others. He was pur¬sued by Alexander Hunter, who felled himto'the ground, and the British sergeant died.The Southern chivalry proved their admira¬tion for the British sergeant by burying himwith all the honors of war."As you may contemplate the long rows of

white headstones that mark the grass-grownmounds in the National cemetery, is it natu¬ral to suppose that the flowers will be keptblooming as beautifully, the walks be pre¬served as handsome and clean the next fouryears as they have in the past?" It is abeautiful place, so quiet and lonely, and itwill stand forever! Alexandrians willnever envelope themselves in their pre¬judices and shut oat from their sight andunderstanding that it is a hallowed spot,consecrated to the memory of Union sold¬iers.The institution to which Alexandria points

with most pride is Christ church and thesurrounding graveyard.

Christ church, Alexandria, Va., is famousnot on account of its size and grandeur, butbecause it does contain the pew where Gen.Washington s&t Sunday after Sunday, par*ticipating in the service of the church. Thereit still stands as in the days of the Revolu¬tionary war. The north side of the churchis overgrown with ivy, "Friendship's magicname." Washington's pew is now occupied.by Mr. Cassius F. Lee, a descendant of thefather of his country and a relative of Gen.R. E. Lee."George Washington's famous declaration

of being on the side of resistance to theodious stamp act was stated to have beenmade on Christ church green, when a na¬

tion might be said to have been conceived."One hundred years later the same spot, was

the scene of a no less memorable event.the determination of Robert E. Lee to jointhe confederate forces."Scattered about, without regard to order

are tho remains of slabs, waiting for thesexton of fifty years ago to come and putthem in position."

The slabs were broken down during thewar, and since then it would be impossibleto replace them where they rightfully be¬long. The confederate dead (thirty-fourprisoners of war), who died in the federalhospitals in that city and were buried in thenational cc-metery, were removed to Christchurch yard on tbo 27th of December, 1S79,and over them was erected a pyramidalmound, nicely sodded, and surmountedwith a liandscmo vaso. On the eas<t side ofthe mound a tablet of marble has been plac¬ed, with the name, regiment and State ofthe deceased.Gen. L?e:» surrender to Gen. Grant was

quoted by the great Sunday school workerof Chicago at the convention held in thiscity during lant mouth. He sarcasticallysaid in making his remarks: "And they sayGen. Grant didn't take (Jen. Lee's sword/'I whispered almost andiblj: "Nor he didn't,either!"Now that we have Gen. Grant's own

words, I wish I had spokeu loud enough forever}' one in City Hal! to have heard me.

Why? Not because Gen. Lee was a confed¬erate, but he was our townsman, our neigh¬bor, and we worship hia memory. Gen.Grant didn't want lieu. Lee's sword. Gen.Grant was a great general and he .-ays henever knew or rend of a greater man thenR. E. Lee. J. M. *.
