The State Troops and Visiting Military Honors Paid to the Daughters of the Great An immense audience assembled yes. terday afternoon In Lee Place to partici pate in the ceremonies incident to the unveilingrof the statue of GeruKobert E.Le. Barely has there beon witnessed such a yast gathering of the people.

Three thousand seats had been provided in the Circle itself, but these were filled mostly by ladies and their escorts an hoar before the time fixed for the opening of the ceremonies, which was 2 o'clock. Then every position on the mound of the monument available for standing room traa occupied, and a multitude of people thronged the adjacent streets. It is es timated that not less than Perswm were assembled on this occasion. The Committee of Arrangements of the Lee Monumental Association, as sisted by committees from the Associations of the Army of. Northern irginia and, Tennessee, had prepared the Circle for the ceremonies.

The railing was ornamented by flags of all nations, wtaioh fluttered gaily in the strong breeze which was blowing. A spacious plat form had been erected on the western side of the Place for the seating of the Lee Monumental Association; the sub scribers to the fund, and disti ngnished and specially Invited guests. A oanoov overarched the central por tion of the platform, which was reserved lor the officers of tbe Monumental Association and the gentlemen participating in the exercises. The Circle was in charge of Col. W.

T. Vaudry and an elioient iceoepunn (Committee, who were assisted by the Veteran Company. Battalion of Washington Ar tillery, the Continental Guards and a HotnrrimArit nf nnliftA. i 1 Oa the Platfera, which had a seating capacity of about 600, were observed, besides the officers, directors and subscribers of the Lee Monumental Association, the Justices of the Supreme Conrt and the State courts, mem Ders ox tne Dar ana clergy; "ico, Austro IIuneary, the Netherlands, Venezuela tne uovernor ana stait. Major Gen.

The members of the Ladies' Confederate Monumental Association and the Ladies'. Auxiliary Lee Monumental Association were assigned places in the front row of benches. The Continental Guards. Capt. Chas.

W. Drown, arrived on the scene shortly after 1 o'clock, and hiving posted guards as requested by the gentlemen in charge of the Circle, marched back to the corner, of Camp and St. Joseph streets, to receive guests, the Detroit Lieht Infantry, which command was expected to arrive about 2 The Benevolent Associations or. tne Army of Northern Virginia, and Array of Tennessee, followed closely by the Timothy W.

The various commands ox une Aouisiana National Guard were posted in tbe streets adjacent to the monument, prepared for the. narads which was to follow the cere monies. Capt.

is remarkable that no accidents occurred in this tumultuous movement of so large a body of people. Then wm little onnortunitT for escape from thin anrirlen and wind driven tor rent, and the number of persona who were not wet to the skin was exsremeiy small. The occupants of the platform had the advantage, a poor one indeed, ef the shelter aflVrded by the canopy however, was not impervious to the water The storm brought dismay to the hearts of the military in their gay uniforms, whioh soon presented a bedraggled appearance. The company of veterans stationed on the steps of the monument stood to their posts, notwithstanding tie elemental war. For twenty minutes, or more, the rain con tinned to fall heavily.

When it had somewhat abated, the directors of the Monumental Association concluded to procetd with the' 1 TJavtUlns the This office was to be performed, according to the suggestions of Gen. Lee's daughters aa already mentioned in the Pieaynno by a private in the army which had served immediately under that commander. Gen. Nicholls, President of he Association of the Army Of Northern Virginia, had been requested to select a member for this service, bnt he preferred to submit the question of the' choice to the association. This was done at a meeting held yesterday, and tbe lot fell to Messrs.

John Hurley and Charles Meyers, maimed veterans ef the Virginia, army. These members were present at the opening of the exercises, but were unavoidably absent when the unveiling was ordered, and this duty was performed by Messrs. Edward. Fitipatnck and John Dunlap, also maimed soldiers who had served nnder Lee. As the canvas covering was withdrawn from the soperb figure of bronze which crowns the monument, and tbe statue of i The Great Confederate Leader stood forth grandly against the dark background of the lowering sky, i a mighty shout went np from the soldiers Of the Confederacy, and the veterans of the Grand Army ot the Republic Lomed in these loud acc lams' tions.

and cast nn their hats as enthusi astically as the men who had worn the The Daughters of Gen. Lee. standing at the windows of Mr. May's house, were spectators of the scene. the Veteran Associations of the Armies of Tennessee and Virginia and the Grand Army of the Kepublio marched by the residence of Mr.

May they cheered the daughters of tbe Confederate chief, who eeemed much effected by this mark: of retpect, and waved their handkerchiefs to tbe ex soldiers as they.passed. The crowd having been dispersed! by the storm, and the rain still continuing, the Directors of the Lee Monumental Association who ad remained in the Circle, resolved to hold a meeting to determine on future proceedings.

After consideration and discussion, the following resolution was proposed and unanimously adopted Whereas, the immense audienoe assembled this day at Xee Statue, has signalized the veneration and respect in which tne people of New Orleans hold the memory of Robert E. Lee. and the enthuslastlo (approval with which they regard the erection of the monument to him; and, whereas, a postponement of the ceremonies could add nothins: to the tribute already paid thereby; lit it resolved. That the orauon prepared for the occasion be published; that the Mayor being present, the presentation of the monument to the dry of New Orleans by the President of this association be forthwith made; that the directors or the aesoelaUon proceed immediately to I the statue, and that the Bishop, J.

At a quarter to 2 while the troeps and the various associations of veterans were marching to the Monument Circle, an interesting incident occurred The association ot the 'old soldiers of the Army of Nprthern Vlr inia, headed by their President, Gen. T. Kicholls, marched up Camp street; aod stopping at, the residence of Mrs. Carev. at No.

she came outf pn the gallery aha bowed and smiled her acknowledgments, while Nicholls, in tne name ox tne oia soaiers, some or whom had served with her father on the battle field, presented her a basket ot flowers and a jeweled badge of as sociation. The veterans took off their hats and cheered and then marched on. Arriving ut tbe residence of CoL AiH: Aiaj AM90 AT U70f 1U ilUI TOH.

These old soldiers, msny of them scarred sod i maimed in the fierce and bloody battles of that historic time, had shared their General's triumphs and hia misfortunes.

Much they had suffered with bun, but more than been happy to nave, oeen an. element, hnrahla element. Derhaos. i in his glory and greatness. They loved him They bad been, willing to die at ms bidding, and when he gave the order they had marched death, light heart and steady ol step and with a ebeer ringing on thek lip, They had fallen by scores and hundreds.

The blood of Louisiana was poured out on hundred hills and plains ot Virginia; but thsy had done it willingly for Eobext Lee and for duty. The war worn veteran, cooking vrith emotion, ceased speaking. He could not utter another Tears were glitter ing on the eyelids or rolling dorn tte ebeeksof the scarred and battered, old soldiers. There was, in fact, nothing Ttobe said. Theiilenceat that mo ment was supreme eloquence, ior, tne hearts of strong, men were speaking and heroism, glory lory ana aeasu.
