WT ' l S i"*, rt VVAR SI Robert IC. Leo, Grea Atlanta Coi Kew "York, October G.-The publi :atlcn this week of the "Recollections tad Letters of <? encrai Hebert K. .tc" . I>oublcdav, I'age cc Co.), is an historical event, of vital interest not july to the South but to the whole ?ountry. This book, HO widely heralded ana" so keenly awaited, doe? not aim to establish new truths about fateful event? in the story of the con federacy but it adequately reveals for the fir st time the correspondence bo iween thc great general and his fam ily. Save ti?H service to the South, none waa so sacred as this, and it .Htaaips him as he really was-thc knightlicst of soldiers, the most coura geous of patriots and thc tender and affectionate husband and father. la these letters General Lee's wholo .?ttituic as citizen of two republics . ?hines as never before. They .-how . !hat as loyally as he followed his pa triotic convictions in what he be J iovod was constitutional right and V.iberiy, so* did he take his modest, .sincere plaoe in the reconstruction of ;:iia distracted country. They reveal *iitr. ic no sccno as ''thc unrcconstruc ;ed rebel," but as one who calmly ac sept'id the inevitable. Those letters were compiled by his -jon, Capt. Robert K. Lee, himself a gallant confederate soldier, who has Interspersed many new and significant Incidents in thc life of his distinguish ed father. Thc book covers thc en tire period of General JJCO'B public .ic'Witics, from the time he was engi neer in tho United States army, fol ding his graduation from Wast i'oint to that October day in 1870 when, as ptcsidentof Washington col lege, in Lexington, Ya., he passed Away. Captain Leo says his first vivid im pression of his father was his arrival at Arlington (the family home near Washington) after his return from thc "Mexican war. An amusing incident 'happened on this occasion. The boy and a playmate the samo age. both dressed in their best frocks, stood in the crowd that greeted thc home com ing soldier. Suddenly General Leo ?burst through tho crowd saying: "Where is my littlo boy?" lie <thcn took up in his arms and kissed ;iot his son but the playmate. General Lee was always romping -nth the little ones. He petted tho >two younger children a great deal. "Says Captain Lee: Oar greatest treat was to get into "his bed ia the morning and lie oloae .to him. listening while he talked to >!is in his bright, entertaining way. Yet I alwaya knew that it WBB impos sible t'? lieobey my father. * * * He uvas vc.j fond of having his hands ctiekled and what WBB still more euri . aue, it pleased and delighted him to 1 take off his slippers and plaoe his feet 'la our laps in order to have them trickled. * * * He would often tell us vth,e most delightful stories but the ?jomniand would be 'no tickling, no .story.' "When we wore a little older, ? JUT- elder sifter told us one winter tho ? aver delightful 'Lady of the Lako.' vOf course, she told it ia prose and ar naurj?3 it to suit oar montai capacity. Our father wus generally in his corner .by the fire, most probably with a foot ; ia either the lap of myself or younger mitier-the tickling going on briskly :&n& would come in at different points of tho talc and repeat line after lino . of the poem-much to our disap proval-but to h?B grcr.t enjoyment. Very carly Captaiu Lee speaks of fois father's punoiuality, a character istic that marked him all his life. Writing about General Leo as oom . mandiuentat West Point, ha says: ."My father was tho most punotaal inanCsBi-er knew. He was always /ready for family prayers, for meals, and met every engagement, social or . li usin?es, at the moment. He ex pected ? M of us to bc the same and taught us thc ase and necessity of lonni ug t?uoh ?tibits for thc conven ience of all concerned. I never knew him late for Sunday service at the post chapel. Ile used to appear some \\u>ioc&es?~t>6iorc the rest of us in uni form, jokingly rallying my mother for Jbeing late, and for forgetting some thing al the last moment. When he should wait no longer for her, he would .eaj.'ir.f.t he was off and would maroh along vo church by himself, or with asy of ? 'the children who were ready. ' XherrVjic vBattery straight-well np -^4?ri0j?d\Ile libele- aa A, as T. remember, always beoame very sleepy, and some jtimes even took a little nap duri cg ??Ihn -eennoo. At that time this ?drowsiness of my father's was some thing awful to me, inexplicable. I tkaow it was very hard for me to keep ^awake, ?nd freqaontly I did not; but vwhy he, who to my mind could do reverything that was right, without ?any effort, should sometimes be over* vcome, I could not understand, and did cant try to do so? ORI BS. ! ! t Sol? lier : 111 ? 1 Grreat , . I i l m istitution. (Jeneral Lee's affectionate solici tude for hi? family is expressed in one of the early letters to one of his sons in which he says: 1 cannot go to bed, my dear son, without writing you a few lines, to thank you for your letter, which gare me great pleasarc. * ' ' Vou and Cuatis must take great care of your kind mother and dear Biiters when your father is dead. To do that you must learn to be good. He true, kind and generous, and pray earneatly to God to enablo you to keep Iiis com I maadmcnts ''and walk in thc same all thc days of your life.'* I hope to come on soon to see that little baby you hate got to show me. You must give her a kiss for me, and ono to all the children, to your mother and grand mother. On April 20, 1801, (Jeneral Lee resigned his commission in the Unitod States army. In a letter to his sister, he says: With all my devotion to the union and thc foaling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, 1 have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my chil dren, my home. I have, therefore, resigned my commission in thc arinj^ and save in defense of my native slate, with the sincere hope thut my poor services may never bc needed, I hop? I may never be called on to draw my sword. I know you will blaine mc; but you must think as kindly of mo a? you can, and believe that 1 have endeavored to do what I thought was right. That ho did not expect to fight is shown by the following extract from a letter to his wife: "I do not know what my position will be. I ?hould like to retire to private life if I could bc with you uud the children, but if I can be of any service to tko State or her cause, I must continue." But Virginia had joined the column of her southern sisters and Lee was placed in couiiuaid of her State troops. Tbero came victory at the lirst battle of? Bull Hun. Of thc great battle he writes to his wife: * * * That, indeed, was a glorious victory and has lightened the pressure upon our front amazingly. Po not grieve for the brave dead. Sorrow for those they left behind-faionds, rela tives and families. The former are at rest. The latter must sutler. Tho battle will be repeated there in greater farce. I hope God will again smile on us and strengthen oar hearts and arms. I wished to partake in th? former struggle, sad am mortified at my absence, but the presideit thought it moro important I should be hera. I oould not have done as well au has been done, hut I oould have helped, and taken part in the struggle for my homo and neighborhood. So the work is done I care not by whom it is done. I leave tomorrow for the northwest army. I wished to go before, as I wrote you, and was all prepared, but the in dications were so evident of the coin ing battle and in thc uncertainty of ihe result, the president foibide my departure. Now it is necessary and he ?ousents. I cannot say for how loag, but will write you. * * * Give love to all and for yourself accent tho con stant prayers of truly yours, R. K. Lee. General Lee was always considerate. His wife sent him a number of pairs of socks, but ho gave ten pairs to one of his negro servants. At this time some of the southern newspapers were criticizing Lee. To his wife ho writes: I am sorry, as you say, that the movements of tho armies cannot keep pace with the expectations of the editors of papers. I know they eau regulate mptters satisfactorily to themselves on paper. I wish they oould do so in the field. No one wishes them more success than I do and would bc happy to sec them have full swing. I hope something will bc done to please them. Give much love to thc children and everybody, and believe me, always yours, R. K. Lee. The deep religious feeling of Gen. Lee is always manifest. On Sunday, December 8, 18?1, he writes to his daughter: My Preoious Annie-I hare taken the only quiet time I have been able to find on this holy day to thatfk you for your letter of the 29th ultimo. One of the miseries of war is that there is no Sabbath, and the ourrent of werk and strife has no cessation. How can we be pardoned for all our efieases? I am glad that you have joined your mamma again and that some of you are together at last. It would be a great happiness to me were you all at some quiet place, remote from the vicissitudes of war, where I oould consider you safe. On Christmas day the same year, he writes to his wife from camp: I curium ! i - da j ol a-.u- f il r. - j >ic?ng pu--, di.-ar M ir y. without horne com ul uti i CM i i ii with you, I am I h au ki'ul i ?r the many a ruoiig the . past that I have passed willi you, and '. tho remembrance of th eui tills mc ! with pleasure. For those ou which WO have been separated wc must not repino. If it will make us more re signed and better prepared f ?jr what ia in store for us, we should rejoice. Now wo must be content with ino many blessings we receive. If we can only become sensible of our trans gressions, so as to bo fully penitent and forgiven, this heavy punishment un der which we labor may with justice bo removed from us and tho whole na tion, what a gracious consummation of all that we have endured i t will be! General Lee wan now in charge of all the military operations of tho southern confederacy. After this ap pointment he writes to his wife from Hieb mood: 1 have been placed on duty here to conduct operations ander the direc tion of the president. It will give me great pleasure to do anything I oan to ralievc him and serve the coun try, but I do not see cither advantage or pleasure in my duties, Rut I will not complan, but ?o my beat. No act in General Lee's whole mili tary career waB more typical of his sense of justice aod impartiality than when he allowed his son, H. S. Leo, (tho compiler of tho present volume) to enlist as private Robert was then a student at the University of Vir ginia. Ile was wild to get into the army. On this subject General Lee wrote as follows to his wife: "I wrote to Robert that I would not consent to take boys from their schools and young men from their colleges and pat them in the ranks at thc begin ning of a war. * * * The war may last ten years. W ere aro our ranks to bc filled from?" Hut in tho spring of lSt>2 General Lee allowed his son to enlist. He joined the Rockbridgo artillery. Of tho circumstance Captain Lee wrote as follows of his father: Ho was just as ?weet and loving to mo then as in tho old days, I had seen so little of him during the last six years that I stood somewhat in awe of him. I soon fouud, however, that 1 had no cause for such a feeling, Ile took great pains in getting what was necessary for me. The baggage ol a private in a confed?ralo battery wat not extensive. How little was needed my father, even at that time, did mil know, for, though he was very carefu in providing mc with the least amouni he thought necessary, I soon founc by experience that he had given me s groat deal too much. It was character istio of his consid?ration for other and the unselfishness of his nature I that at this time, when weightet down, harassed and bordea ed by tb< cares incident to bringing the untrain ed foroos of the confederacy in.o th< field, and preparing them for a strug gie the seriousness of which he knev better than anyone, he should give hi time and attention to the minute de ' taila of fitting out his youngest son a a private soldier. I think it worth; of note that the son of the command iog general enlisting aa a private ii his army was not thought to be any thiDg remarkable or unusual. Neithe my mother, my family, ruy friend j nor myself expected any other course and Ido not suppose that it ever co ourred to my father to think of givin, me an o iii co, which he could easil; have done. I know it never occurred to we, nor did I ever hear, at tha time or afterwards, from anyone, tha I might have been entitled to botte rank than that of a private because o my father's prominence in Virgini and in the confederacy. With th good advice to bo obedient to all au thority, to do my duty in everything great or small, ho bade mo good b and sont me off to tho valley of Vii ginia, where the command in whioh was about to enlist were serving undc "Stonewall1' Jackson. Captain Lee became a private i his father's great army. How he mc his father is an interesting stor whioh he tells as follows: On May 31, the battle of Sere Pines was fought, and General Josep E. Johnston, commanding the confet erate army, wag severely wonndei The next day, by order of the pros dent, Goneral Lee took oomroand < the army of Northern Virgin ia. The day after the battle of Col Harbor, during the seven days' figh ing around Richmond, was the fin time I met my father after I had joii ed General Jackson. The tremendot work Stonewall Jackson's nen hi petformed, ineludiog the rapid maro from the valley of Virginia, tl short rations, the bad water, and tl great heat, had begun to tell apon u and I waa pretty well worn out. G this particular morning, ny battei had not moved from its bivoui ground of tba previous night, but wi parked in au opec field, ell read: waiting orden. . Meat of the nea wei lying down, many sleeping, mys? among tba latter number. To g some shads and be oui of the way, bad crawled aider a oaision, and wi busy making up many lott Lours rest. Suddenly I waB rudely avrake ed by a comrade prodding bi? with sponge staff as I bad failed to 1 :.! itisi i bj l i - call, ah?) w.is told l?? gt;! .:j> alu' come out. that sonic pop i wished Kee inc. i Juif awake, 1 ?tag? g< red <?ut, and found myself fnee lo face with General J.oe and lib blair. Their fresh uniforms, bright equip ments and well groomed hordes con trasted BO forcibly Tr i th tue war-worn a{ij>eararjce of our commaud that I waa completely dazed. It took me a mo ment or two to realiza what it all meant, but when I saw my father's loving eyes and tumle it became clear to me that ho had ridden by to see if I waa safe and to ask bow I was getting along. I remember how curi ously thoBo with bim gazed atme, and I am ?ure ?bat it must have struck them ap very odd that such a dirty, ragged, unkempt youth could have j been tho son of this grand-looking, victorious commander. Continuing Captain Lee says: When 1 again saw my father, bc rode at the head of Longstreet's moe on the field of Manassas, and wo oi Jackson's corps, hard pressed for tw( days, welcomed him and the divieioni wbioh followod him, with great cheers The rifle guns from our battery hac been detached and scot to join Long street's advance artillery, under Gon eral Stephen D. Lee, moving into ac tion on our right. I was No. 1 at on of these guns. Wo advanced rapidl; from hill to hill, firing as fast as w could, trying to keep ahead of our gal lant comrades, just arrived. AH W were ordered to ceaso firiDg from th last position we took, and the breatl less cannoneers were leaniig on thei guns, Goneral Lee and hie staff ga loped up, and from this point of vat tage scanned the movements of tb enemy and of our forces. The Get eral reined in Traveler-close by m gun, not fifteen feet from me. looked at them all some few minute; and then went up and spoke to Ca] tain Mason of thc staff, who had n< thc slightest idea who I was. Wac he found me out he was greatl ammsed, and introduced me to seven others, whom I already knew. M appearance was even less prepo83es ing than when I had met my father i Cold Harbor, for I had boen marchic night and day for four days, with i opportunity to wash myself or u clothes; my face and hands wa blackened with powder sveat, and tl few garments I had on were raggi and stained with thc red soil of th section. When the general, after moment or two dropped his glass his side, and turned to his staff, Ca tain Mason said: "General, hero is some one w wants to speak to yon.'' The general, seeing a much-bcgrii ed artillery man, sponge staff in han said: "Well, my man, what can I do 1 you?" . I replied: "Why, general, don't you kn me?'' and he, of course, at once n ognised me, and was very much snit ed ab my appearance and most glad see that I was ssfe and well. - We, of the ranks, used to have c opinions on all subjects. The aimi their generals and their maneuv* were freely disoussed. If there v one point OB which the entire ar; was unanimous-I speak of the ra and file-it was that we were not the least afraid of General Pope, 1 were perfectly sure of whipping I whenever we could meet him. 1 passages I quote here from two General Lee s letters indioate t this feeling had possibly have exte ed to our officers. In a letter to mother, from near Richmond, da July 28, 18G2, ho says: " . . . When you write to B tell him io eaton Pope for me, i also bring in his cousin, Louis N shall, who, I am told, is on his st I could forgive tho latter's fight against 1 us, but not his join Pope." [CONTINUED NEXT WEEK ] Intelligence of Dogs. A shepherd in Scotland, to pi the value of his dog, whioh was 1] before the fire in tho house when were talking, said to me in the mit of a sentenoe concerning somet? else: "I'm thinking, sir, the oow i the potatoes." The dog, which, peared to be asleep, immedii jumped up and leaped through open window, scrambled ap the roof cf the house, where he could the potato field.
