C imtlnr - - ^ v. * v i nonvu the general if ho lia<! ever known of a witty darky. 'Yes,1 said the general, 'one.' Whon Gen. lio1 hurt S. Lse was fighting Grant in 1 the "last days" an old darkey ! besieged headquarters with rei' quests to see "the gin'ral." Ho was turned away a dozen limes. 1 But one day ho succeeded in 1 reaching the guard immediately in front of Gen. Leo's tent, and almost got into the tent itself before ho was stopped. The alter1 cation which followed was overhoard by Gen. Lee, who called out: "Let that man come in!" ' Then into the tent enmo the fellow, a rawboned, shambling, gray-headed, gnarled old darkey, who scraped the ground with his i foot and kept turning his hat around nprv(int.lv in hio %( ^ ??VVell, where do you be> long?'7 demanded Gen. Loe. " 1 ''I b'longs to y'r company, gin-ral," returned the darky. (i t yOU don't," .declared the general, sharply. * 'Everybody in my crmpany has been shot. How is it that you haven't 1 been?" " 'The darkey scratched his bend. Then from his twisted mouth came a confidential whisper. "Well, you see, gin'ral it's this a-way. I ain't been shot, 'caze whan dey's a tight goin' on I always stays with the gin'rals." ' " That does not "sound like" Gen. Robert E. Lee. We doubt if Gen. Gordon has been correctly quoted. If he has been, he has gotten old Gen. Lee mixed up with Fitz Lee. The story as it has been always told in jVirginia is as follows. When Filz Lee was making his canvass for governor, and when upon a platform at a public meet* ing in ono of the counties near Lynchbufg, he was told that an old colored man wished to come up and shuke hands with him. He said: ''All right; let him come," and the old darkey was soon afterwards brought forward and in? troduced t? him. Old Uncle Ben, for that was his name, said to Filz Lee that he h.-.d been in the Confederate army from tirst to last, with his (Ben's) } oung master. The general ask ed him to what command his master belonged. Uncle Ben replied. "Longstreet's." The general then suggested to Ben that he had probably seen some hard fighting. Uncle Bon said, yes, he had been in many battles. "And which do you think was the hottest one?" ho was asked by Fitz Lee. "Why," responded Uncle Ben, "Gettysburg was by long odds the wust f ever seen," and ho added, "1 tell you the truth, general; at Gettysburg I runned like a dog." "Where did you ruu to?" inquired Fitz Lee. "I ran to the safest place I could find," said the old fellow. "And where wss that?" said his good-humored questioner. "I runnrd to where the gin'rals wore," promptly re sponded the old man. This ready response ?this nn liiiunueu jok? me generals brought forth a penl of laughter from Fitz Lee and the crowd of people around him. 'I he rtory was often repeated as one of the incidents of the campaign. (}<n. Fitz Lee himself was delighted to tell it and to give tJncIo Hen credit for hi8 sagacity in seeking a place of refuge on the field of battle. * Flccd Situation Worse.
