Wyatt be fore the New York Southern Society -A grand tribute to a grand man. J What of thin charge of treason and what kind of traitor was l.in. A dis tinguished soldier and citizen of Mass achusetts Charles Fraucis Adams, reared in the New England school of politics, himself throughout the war io the army that confronted Lee, son of that Charles Francis Adams who as United States minister to England during thc Civil war probably did as? much as aoy other man to defeat tbe cause of the Confederacy, grandson of John Quincy Adams and great-grand son of that elder Adams who succeed ed Washington as president of the United States, a man who so differed from Lee in his interpretation of the duty an American citizen OWOB SB be tween his State and the central gov ernment that he deolared he would go against Massachusetts for the Union, has written this for history: "If Robert E. Lee waB a traitor, so also and indisputably was George Washington. Washington furnishes a precedent at every point. A Vir ginian, like Loo, ho was also a British subject; he had fought under the Brit ish flag, as Lee had fought under that of the United States; when, in 1776, Virginia seceded from the British em pire he' went with his State, just as Lee west 85 yearB later, subsequently Washington commanded armies in the Geld designated by those opposed to them as "the rebels of '76," much as Lee later commanded and at lsst sur rendered muoh larger armies, also de signated "rebels" by those they con fronted. Ezoeptjin their outoome the oases were therefore, precisely alike; and logic is logic. It consequently appears to follow that if Leo was a trsitor Washington was also." Ho further says: "ID him thero ere exemplified those lofty elemente of personal oharaoter whiohj typifying Virginia at her high eat, made Washington possible. Es sentially a soldier, Bobert E. Lee was a many sided man. I might speak of him as a strategist, but of this aspect of tho mad enough has perhaps been said. I might dilate on his restraint in victory; his patient end?ranos in the faos of adverso fortune, the serene 1 dignity with wbioh he in the end tri umphed over defeat. But, passing over all these well worn' themes, I shall confine myself to that one attri bute of his which, reoognised in a sol dier by an opponent,. 1 cannot but ie gard aa his surest and b.ftifnt title to enduring {ame. I r f*r o bia human ity in arms and his scrupulous rejr.r? for the "most advanced rules of Mod ern warfare." . Denying the contention ?bat war must be made hell, holding np to exe cration the authors of the bloodieat di eds in history, thia generous foe and great American said: "I rejoice that no eu oh hatred at taches to the name of Lee. Bookless of life to attain the legitimate eade of war, ho sought to mitigate ita hor rors. Opposed to bim at Gettysburg, I here, 40 yeara later, do him justice. No wore creditable order ever issued fi om a commanding general than that formulated and signed at Chambers barg by Robert E. Lee, aa U ward tbe close cf June, 1863, be advanced on a war of invasion. *No greater dis* grace,1 he then deolared, 'can befall the army, and through it our whole people, than the perpetration of bar barous outrages . upon the innocent and defenceless. Snob proceedings not only disgrace the perpetrators and all connected wi tb them, but are sub versivo of the disciplino and efficiency of th? army, and destructif e of ?he ends of oar movement./ It mess bc remembered that wo make war only OB ?ra?d mea.* < v , 4 Tn scope and spirit Lea*? order was observed, and I doubt' if a hostile force ever advanced into an enemy's country of fell back from it in re- j treat leaving lesa causo of hate ?nd bitterness than did the army of north- j ora Virginia iu\ that memerabla cam- j paign wbioh culminated at Gettya- jj bargV? ?:. / ;'!.; ; - . : In dwelling on this thorne, ia cou- j tnit to Lto'i humanity, may nofe ] "the avenging pen of history" quota t from "Ohio io the War" by tbe Hon. \ Whitelaw Heed, at this time ambass- j ador of the United States at tho Court \ of Sk James's, who ia speaking ??I "i tba burning pi Columbi* wrote: 1 jj It was tho most monstrous barbar- 1 tty of this barbarous march* Before his movement begau Ceo. Sherman ? begged permission to tara hie army J loose in South Carolina and devastate 1 it. He used this permission to tW 1 full.^ ^ ?age war upon women and clxildrea. 1 But?#tt^ ) orders, tho last morsel of too? Ji?? ? taken fwa hundreds of destitute faa?-, . ORIES. ommander-in-Chief o?' rate Army, ?lies that his soldiers might feast in needless and riotous abundance. Be fore his eyes rose, day after day, the mournful clouds of smoke on every side that told of old people and their grandchildren driven, in midwinter, from the only roofs there were to shelter them, by the flames whioh the wantonness of his soldiers had kin dled. Yet if a single soldier was punished for a singlo outrace or theft during that entire movement wc have found no mention of it in all the volu minous records of the march." May not this avenging pen of his tory whioh Sumner invoked record that order of Gen. Halleok. chief of staff and military adviser to President Lincoln, whioh said to Geo. Sherman, "Should you oapture Charleston I ! hope that by eomo aooident the place may be destroyed, and if a little salt should be sown upon its site it may prevent the growth of future orops of nullification and secession," and 8her man'a reply in his dispatch of Decem ber 24,1864, "I will bear in mimi your hint as to Charleston, and don't think salt will be neoeseary. When I move the Fifteenth Corps ?ill be on the right of the right wing, and their position will bring them, naturally into Charleston first; and if you he\e watohed the history of that corps yea will have remarked that they general-] ly do their work np pretty well. The t/uth is the whole army is burning with an insatiable desire lc wreck vengeance upon South Carolina." And may it not transcribe upon its pages that other order to his efficient Lieut. Hunter: "He (Grant) further says that he wants your troops to eat out Virginia clear and olean, as far as they go, so that crows flying over it for the balanoe of the season will have to carry their provender with them." Of Leo as a general President Roosevelt, in his life of Thomas H. Benton, says: "The world has never seen bet ter." In action Lee violated both of the maxims of Napoleon-never to di vide an array into two columns un able to communicate, or attempt a junction in tho prese noe of a oonoen-; ?_J_. 1_i. T_?-_ iii aveu v LIV w j j uui> Jjcc a nc vi MIS HI CU . He violated the iast Beadon of this maxim beoause ho knew Pope, and the first beoause fes knew Jackson. It io rare indeed that snob strategy suc ceeds. Haslrubal divided from Hon nibal by roany miles and a Consular army, full baok' to the Meteros, ana Rome was aaved. Two thousand years later Prince Frederick Charles, | divided by ? few marches and two j Austrian army corps from the Crown j Prince, lingered so long upon the .lier that the supremacy of Prussia^ trem bled in the balance? But tho charac ter of the Virginian soldier was of a loftier typo. It has been remarked that af tar Jackson's death Lee never again attempted those great turning movements whioh had achieved his: moat brilliant victories. Never again did he divide his army to re uzi te it on the field of battle. The reason ia not far to seek. There was no general in the Confederate army to whom he dared confide the oharge of the de tached wing, and in ppsscssing one such general he had been moro for t? nate than Napoleon. It is noteworthy that Mol tko once, at Koniggrats, carried ont the opera tion referred to: Wellington, twice at Victoria and Toulouse: Napoleon al though ho several ; times attempted it never, exoept at Ulm, with ooaiplato saeeeas. . In his "History of the American War," Lieut.-Col, Fletcher, of Bog lands says: I ' 'The armies cf Graqt and Lee were still in the vicinity of Spottaylvcnta douri house. The former notwith standing his ; nattr,' preponderating strength, wa3 awaiti og. re-enf cro? menta. - The lattor, with oaly a small a?d overworked army to rely on, was expecting ibo arrival of troops from the Shenandoah.

Aud of the tiual end of Grant's endeavor to crush Lee in this campaign ho says: "After many battles and losses of which few wars can afford a parallel and which surpassed iu number tho whole strength of the enemy's force, Goa. Grant had brought his army to a po sition which McClellan bud reaohed with far greater ease and far less ex penditure of lifo two years provioue ly. " From the history of tho United States by the distinguished writer, Mr. James Ford Rhodes, of Boston, I quote this concerning Lee: "The Confederates hal an advan tage in that Robert E. Loo espoused their oauBe; to some extent apprecia ted st the time this in reality ?vas an advantage beyond computation. Had he followed the example of Scott and Thomas aod remained in service un der the old flag io aotive command of the army of the Potomac, how differ ently might not events have turned out. "Lee, now 5? years old, his faoe ex hibiting the ruddy glow of health, was physically and morally a splen did example of manhood. Able to trace his lineage far baok into the mother country, the best blood of Vir ginia flowed in his veine. Drawing from a knightly race all their virtues, he had inherited none of their vioea. Honest, sincere, simple, magnani mous, forbearing, rehned, oourteous yet dignified and proud, never Taoking self-command, he was in all respects a true man. Graduating from West Point his life had been exclusively that of a soldier, yet ho had none of the soldier's bs-JL hebits. He used neither liquor nor tobaooo and indul ged rarely in a sooial glass of wine, and oarod nothing for the pleasures of the table. He was a -good engineer and under Gen. Scott had won dis tinction in Mexico. Tho work that had fallen to his lot ho had performed in a systematic manner and with con scientious care. 'Duty is the subli mest word in our language/ he wrote to his BOO. Sincerely religions, Providence to him was a verity, and it may bo truly said he walked with God. j "A serious man, he anxiously ! watched from his station in Texas I the progress of events sine a Lincoln's "Tuiokiug slavery ?s an institution a 'moral and political evil, having a soldier's devotion to _ his flag and a warm attachment to Gen.

( 1 Of this visit to Loo Gen. Wolseley , says: j "As I waited outside of Gen. Lee's tent while his aido-de camp entered to tell him who I was and to deliver him a letter from the Confederate seorotary of war, I remarked it had tho name of a ooloacl .of some New Jer sey regiment printed upon it. Sub sequently I referred to th 3 fact in my conversation with him. He laughed and said: 'You will find every tent, gun, even our blankets, accoutrements and all the military equipment wo possess stamped with* the- United States initials.' Every incident io that visit is indelibly stamped on my j memory. AU he said to me then and during sub"equent conversations is still fresh in my recollection. It is natural it should be so, for he was the ablest general and to mo seemed the greatest man I ever conversed with* and yet I have had tho privilege of meeting Von Bioltke and Prince Bis I mark. '?. . . . "Gen. Lee wee ooo of the few men ?who ever seriously impressed and j awed me with their inherent great ness. Forty years have come and gone since our meeting and yet the ma jests of his manly bearing, the genial win ning grace, the sweetness of his smth and the impressive dignity of his ole fashioned stylo of dross come back t< nie among the most cherished o'' raj recollections. His greatness made rn? humble and I never felt my own in significance more keenly than I did ii his presence. He was then about 5 years of age, with hair and bear? nearly white. Tell, extremely, hand some and strongly built, very soldiei like in bearing, he looked a thorougl bred gentleman. Gare had, howevei already wrinkled his brow and thei oame et moments a look of sadaet into bis olear, honest and speskiti derk brown eyes that indicated ho much bia overs helming nstioss? r sponsibilitios had already told upc him.

For surely as the years go ou re shall see that snob a life can be adged by no partisan measure, and ome to look opon him as the Eng iah of our day regard Washington, rhona littlemore than a century ago bey delighted to call a rebel. Indeed a all essential characteristics Lee re enibled - Washington, and bad the rest work of his life been crowned rith success, or be had chosen the finning side, the world would have oknowledged that Virginia could in a entury produce two men who were he embodiment of publio and private irtue. * "The avenging pen of history" hes laced the name of Lee side , by side rith Washington.
