THE CONFEDERATE GENE- p
RALS.
A Sad Record of their Fortunes Since Apo- B
mattWx. G
lei
H. W. 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. Colq
vho is Governor of Georgia
'3,000 a year and who is qi

The law, of course, has
otaries. Gen. Toombs, of G<
ia, who is very rich, practi
aw in a casual way, chiefly r
-esenting the State against
'ailroads volunteering for

ind strong has made a fortune by P
on. running a 'pony' express in Texas,
ing and Gen. A. W. Reynolds, who
olk went to Egypt with Loring, is still
ray there, though out of service. Gen. 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. Ewell's wife had about $100,
pe 000 worth of property in St. Louis,
W. I think, which was saved from
m- confiscation by a friend. Mrs.
tdy Ewell died within thzee days of
g- her husband. Gen. Bragg died
me without property, and his wife
en. lives with her sister in New
, is Orleans. The history of Gen.
ing Hood's children is-part of the his
tory of the country. Gen. D. H.
ri- Cooper died in poverty. Maj.
gh Gen. W. H. C. Whiting, of Fort
ow Fishe.r fame, who died in Wil
e a mington prison in '64, left noth
is ing, and Gen. L. Ni. Walker, who
nd was killed in a duel with Marina

in- Gen. Tom Cobb-oh, what a
a;cavalier was there ! left to hisI
n- family but- little of the fortune
igh that his generous heart dispensedI
so bountifully in the piping times
ere of peace.
F is Tiruly it is a sad history ! The
bon story of men who gave their lives
"im to their country, and left nothing
iws to their wives but a poverty that
ana made life a struggle. Braver sol
cial diers never drew sword-purer
i men never went to battle - whbiter
ade minded men never went to death.
