Grady, in the Atlanta Constitution. in NEW YORK, January 3.-What lif a strange, and in the main, what bu a sad history is that of the Gen- of erale who led the Confederate pt armies in the late war. It is a hi story of poverty and deprivation, u lit up here and ther. by a gluam ha of :good luck-but of poverty ha borne manfully, and of depriva- W tion met with the same courage that led these men to the front of G heir legions. ab The fate of the 'Rebel Briga- h dier' at the close of the war was ha enough to depress the most buoy- cu ant among them. They had put te everything on the turn of the G< sword and had lost. Property, co business and all had been sacrificed to in the ardor of war, and tbey were left, in the fierce light of fame, s without any resource-expected tr to support a certain dignity and G nothing to support it on. There Ou was no standing army into which they could be retired with ade- pl quate salary. There was no hope fe, for them in the thousands of lu- ., crative offices that' the Republi- iR, cans distributed among the Fed- b eral Generals. Their States were Li impoverished and were unable to support civil establishments that would furnish offices out of which S anything could be hoped for. Ofm course the privates of the Confed- h erate army were deserving of all sympathy; but it seems to me Sthat the Generals had somewhat *harder lines. At any rate I am sure that there is no oid soldier Sthat followed the Stars and Bars Sthat will not read with interest a kindly inquiry into the history of these old leaders and their fain-e ilies' - I hardly know where to begin, but suppose we take the living eLees with which to open the hur ied review. W. H. F. Lee, the c oldest son of Bobert E. Lee, is I Sliving at present in Fairfax Coun-n Sty on a farm that belonged to the estate of his aunt, Mrs. Fitzhugh. f SIt is a fine place; the General is an attentive and successful farmer, e, 'and he gets a comfortable living a out of it. Custis Lee, the next h son, 'tucceeded his father as Prnes ident of Washington Lee Univer sity and lives in Lexington. He is a bachelor, and his two sisters d live with him. He has fine expec-n -tations, Judge Hughes having de cided that the Arlington estate,a now used as a Federal cemetery, e is his by right of law. The case has been appealed, but the judg- e ment will'hardly be reversed-and the place will be appraised and .payment made for it. Robert rLee lives on the old Lee estate infb lWestmoreland County, where he is Smoving along smoothly, making :enough to.supply his wants. Gren. Fitzhugh Lee has a farm on the nPotomac, that belonged to hisC Saunt, Mrs. Fitzhugh, and, it is 1 osaid, is showing considerable en eterprise, though not amassing tmoney. He has a flour mill, I think, in connection with his 1 The House and the Senate have good many of our Generals, and think, with the exception of enerals Cockrell and Vance, all them find their salary very im )rtant. Gen. Vance was living wy easily, and added to his for nes by his late marriage. Sen or Cockrell, who was a brave id dashing officer, built up a hi ative practice in St. Louis be re he came to the Senate, and well fixed. Besides these there e in the Sonate, Maj.-Gen. Matt ansom, who is struggling to aar his property of encumbrances at he was forced to put upon it make it productive. Brig.-Gen. >bn T. Morgan, of Alabama, who pended upon his law practice, hich was larger in volume than .income; Lievt..Gen. Hampton, South Carolina, who is a corn ratively poor man, though a rge land-owner; Maj.Gen. But r, his colleague, who lost all in e war and has not recovernd uch ; Maj.-Gen. Maxey, of Texas, ho, by the way, has an inde ndent income from his practice, id owns a beautiful home in iris, Texas. In the House there are many eiadier and a few heavier mnerals. Gen. Joe Johnston ids in rank, though his service the House has not been bril mt. He has a fine insurance .siness, and his wife, a daughter Judge McLean, had considerable operty. His 'book has not paid m much I hear, being published ider a poor contract. Alabama .s done well by her Generals, .ving in the House Major-Gen. . H. Forney, who has little be nd his salary, and Brigadier n. C. M, Shelley, who is in out the same condition. Georgia s Brigadier-Gen. Phil Cook, who ,s a good law practice in Ameri s, Ga., and who has had four rms in the House. Brigadier )n. Dibrell, of Tennessee, is fortably fixed, and is re-elected the House for his third term d Atkins andWhitethorne, of the me State, were Generals of'State yops. Virginia has Brigadier )n. Beale, who is doing well tside of Congress, and Gen. Ep Hunton, who retires at the >se of the present Congress, per tly able to take care of him if. North Carolina haB Gen. )bert Vance in the House, to lance Gen. Zeb in the Senate. uisiana has Gen. Randall Giib n, who has been elected to the ixt House, and to the Senate al . He is a rich man, having had eans of his own, and his wife ,ing had some property. Gen. balmers is a representative of e famous shoe-string district Mississippi, and is moderately elI off. This finishes up the list 'rebel' Generals in the House id Senate, I think, without omis There are a number of Confed ate Generals in the depart ents and in various service in ~ashington. First in the impor ~nce of his work is Gen. Marcus Wright, who has charge of the onfederate reeords, and who was king towards a literary con etion when he was offered this ace. Maj. Gen. C. W. Field, who ught to the last day in the Lorning with Lee, is doorkeeper the House, having formerly had insurance business that gave im a living, but not much more. [aj.-Gen. Lamar, who was a brave ldier, has some position about 2e House, probably being in the ocument room. Maj.-Gen. Cad ius M. Wilcox is with the rgeant-at-arms of the Senate nd has little fortune outside f his position. Maj.-Gen. Sam ones is. in the adjutant-general's ifce where he has a good though ot a prominent place. Maj.-Gen. [arry Heth, who was a class late and great friend of Burnside, as a comfortable position in the reasury-and this closes the roll beleve of the Generals of the outern armies about Washing on in any capacity, unless Gen. ). L. Stevenson, who was former clerk of a Congressional com aitgee, still holds his place. The cause of education has en oged the time and gives support 'oagood many of the old leaders af the boys in grey. Gen. CRetil Lee is at Washington Lee as before noted. Gen. Kirby Smith is chancellor of the University of the South at Suwanee, Tennessee, his necessities making him great ly dependqnt on his salary. Lieut. Gen. 1). H1. [ill is President of the State Agricultural College of Ar-': kansas at Favetteville, at a sal. .Ary of $3,500. He has been poor i ever since Llic war, and lost much time and money in publishing a periodical that was, however, a i creditable and puro publication, I and in teaching school. Brig..Gen. 4 M. P. Lowry has charge of a fe male school at Salem, Miss., and is prospering finely. Lieut.-Gen. I A. P. Stewart is chancellor of the University of Mississippi, where he gets a good salary and has a fine position. Brig.-Gen. Lilly is I a professor somewbr*, I think at I Washington-Lee UTivorsity, and i this, I believe, closes the list of Generals who are engaged in training the young men of the South. And yet there is Gen. J. 4 Argyle Smith, now superintendent of State instruction for Mississippi. There are very few of our old Generals who have accepted office I from the Federal Government. I Lieut.-Gen. Longstreet is minis- i ter to Torkey. Col. Mosby, who won the prominence of a General, is consul to Hong-Kong. Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaws, who was one of the powers of the Army of Virginia, is postmaster at Savan nab. Maj.-Gen. James Fagin was United States marshal of Arkan sas under Grant, but I believe is out of the service now. I do not know of any others that hold po. litical appointments, and believe there are none others. Oh yes, there is Gen. Jack Wharton, of Louisiana, n ho took the marshal ship of the New Orleans district a few years ago. The railroad business has cap tured its quota of the Generals and pays good salaries for ligh t and genteel work. Maj.-Gen. John C. Brown, of Tennessee, is first vice-president of the Texas Pa cific, with headquarters at Mar shall and a salary of $10,000 a year and expenses. He had money before he took this place, having had a practice of $8:000 to $10,000 from soon after the war. Major Gen. John B. Marmaduke is rail road commissioner of the State of Missouri on a salary of $5,000 a year, on which ho lives with dig nity and ease. He is a bachelor and will probably leave his po sition with a competency. He stands high in St. Louis. Ma jor-General T. L. Rosser, one of the most daring cavalry men that ever drew a sabre, is chief engineer of the Northern Pacific at a big salary and has made a for tune in lands along the line. Lieut.-Gen. John B. Gordon is counsel for the Louisville and Nashville Road, at a salary of $14,000, an d Gen. E. P. A lexan der,i the best artillerist of the army, is practical mianager of tL.e same road at probably as large a salary. Gen. R. H. Ransom was in char-ge of the freight agency of an im portant Southern line. Maj.-Gen E. C. Walthall lives in Grena4da, Miss., and is general counsel for the Mississippi Central road at a salary of $10,000 per annum, and is well off in the world's goods. There are three of our Generals who have become chiefs of police. Brig-Gen. RI. H. Anderson, a dash ing cavalry officer, is chief of po lice in Savannah. Brig-Gen. Tige Anderson is chief of police in At lanta, and Brig-Gen. W. W. Allen is chief of police in Montgomery, Ala. There is a number who have turned the sword into a plough, and are leading bucolic lives. Be sides the Lees, who have gone to farming, there is Maj.-Gen. Frank B. Cheatham, who has a fine place in Coffee Conny, Ten n., on which he makes a good living. Gen. W. H. ('Red') Jackson, who married a daughter of Gen. Harding, and has charge of the famous Belle Meade farm, the home of Bonnie Scotland, Great Tom and En quirer, and from which came Bramble, Ben Hill and Luke Black ham. He is rich and is up to his knees in- clover, literally and de servedly. Maj.-Gen. A. Bruford has a fine stock farm that is in itself ;vorth a fortune. Brig.-Gen. V kdams is getting rich on a 2 ,issippi farm. Gen. Joe. Davi 'arming near the famous Beau1 ?lace in Mississippi, but is in a ,rate circumstances. Lieut.-G loe Wheeler whose wife was r 'uns a farm, does a large )ractice and owns a store. H -ich and is becoming richer, ,oes to Congress next sessi Aaj.-Gen. Pierce Young is farm n Georgia, and Gen. L. J. P ias a fine stock farm in Mar .ounty, Tennessee. There are few of the Genei vho hold State offices. I a )egin with Gen. A. H.

P Tom Benton Smith lost his mind, -als and was, the last time I heard of P ay him, in an insane asylum in Ten itt, nessee. at It is a melancholy fact that near ito ly every General who died or was ble killed, died in poverty brought lju - about by his devotion. Raphael ais- and Paul Semmes both died poor, ich Gen. Zollicoffer left nothing to a by fimily of fve daughters, but they is- have all married, save one, and is have married well. Gen. Pillow's death caused the sale of his house its and library, which, however, his or- friends rebought by subscription. ces Gen. T. C. Hindman, who was as b ep. sassinated, left nothing at all. the Gen. Dick Taylor died poor, and the his two daughters are living with ind his sister at Warrenton. His book are did not pay. Gen.'Stonewall' Jack n- son left his wife and daughter es. without means, but his name has Aice raised friends for them, one of the whom, Mr. Wade Bolton, of Mem ost phis, I think, left them $5,000 in in his will. Gen. Polk left nothing ing to his family, but his son, -en. Dr. Polk, has an immense prac is- tice and distinguished character for in New York. Gen. Bushrod in- Johnson left only one son, who .e a is doing well, and Gen. Forrest, nia who left but little, left it with al- a thrifty and prosperous son, ere who makes all that is needed. t is Gen.
