Leo before the campaign was undertaken. With Gen. Lee to plan and Gen. Jauk. son to execute, the two conibined had no equals in the world. In 1862 Richmnovd was besieged. The Federal gunboats were threaten. ing to move up the river, and the ,riny of General McClellan was camp !d in sight of the capital. General Lae devised the plan of relieving the oity. I had visited the General at ai room at night on business, and after it had transpired was about to leave, when he desired me to reinaiu. His a-jutant then left, and the Gene. ra'd''tailea to ime his entire plan for th' relibf o'f tLe city. I said, General if it fail what then I Will you abant don Virginia?

There are dozens of liVing men *ho can attest the fact that Oren. Lee did eloquently (for ho had words and man nera eloquent, truly eloquent) advo eate this plan.

'-We huae again and again counseled the cotton growing States that a devotion such os they have given to a single prodact, for market ing which they must look to foreign countries, is bad economy, and can result in no lasting and permanent thrift. A community that lives by ootton only, or wheat only, or tobacco or rie,or sugar, will run over a great surface with a low and exhaus tive tillage. Nothing is returned to the soil for crops taken off. Prosperity isi measured by dollars that come over seas --not by such true tests as the condition of roads, houses bridges, ohurches atid stock. A foreign ma ket is a precarious tarket. When it is good it throws abundance of epending mond intO the plantera's pocket, and ho scatters it for things that perish with the usiny.
