(Continued from s cor d p<\ge.) gist, a Hannibal, a IS ^oleon or a Lee, triumphing with -.nrerior num bers over adversaries wno are tacti cians and nothing more." In speaking of Lee's audacity in attacking wich a force Inferior in numbers and equipment McClelland thoroughly organized army in their intrenobments in the Seven ?Days' battle he says. "From Hannibal to Moltoke there has been no great captain who has neglected to study the character of bis opponent and who did not trade on the knowledge thus acquired, and it was this knowledge which justified Lee's audacity. He was no hare orain ed leader, but a profound thinker, following the highest principles of the military art. That he had weighed the dii concerting effect which the sudden appearance of the victorious Jackson, with an army of unknown strength would produce upon McCiell an goes without saying,'' Again he writes: ' Lae, with his extraordinary in sight into character, had played on Pope (at Second Manassas and bit strategy was justified by success. In the space of three weekshe had car ried tbe war from the James to the Potomac. With an army that at an time exceeded 55,000, be had driven 80,000 into the fortifications of Washington. He had captured 30 guns, 7,000 prisoners and 20.000 rifles. He had killed or wounded 13,500 Fed erals, destroying supplies and mater ials of enormous value and all this with a loss to the Confederates of 10, 000 tffljers and men." If, as Moltke avers, the junotion of two armies on tbe field of battle is the highest achievement of military geniuH, the campaign against Pupe has seldom been surpassed: and the great counter stroke at Massassas is sufficient in itself to make Lee's repu tation as a tactician. Tried by this test alone Lee stands out as one of the greatest soldiers of all times. Not only against Pope but against Mc Olellan at Gaines's Mill, against Burn uide at Frederickburg and against Hooker at Chancellors vi lie, he seceed ed in carrying out the operation of which Moltke.speaks; and each case with the same result of surprising his adversary. None knew better how to apply that great principle of strategy, to march divided, but to fight concen dated. In this action Lee violated both of the maxims of Napoleon?never to di vide an army into two columns unable to communicate, or attempt a juno tion In the p resence of a concentrated enemy; but Lee knew his men. He violated the last section of this max im because he knew Pope, and tbe first because he knew Jackson, lb is rare indeed that buch trategv suc ceeds. Hasdrubal divided from Han nibal by many miles and a Consular army, fell back to the Metarus, and Rome was saved. Two thousand years later Prince Frederick Charles, divi ded by a few marches and two Aus trian army corpi from the Crown Prinos, lingered so long upon the Iser that the supremacy of Prussia trem bled in the balance. But the charac ter of the Virginian soldier was of a loftier type. It has been remarked that after Jackson's death Lee never again atitempted those great turning movements which had achieved his most brilliant victories. Never again did he divide his army to reunite it on the field of battle. The reason is not far to seek. There teas no general in the Confederate army to whom he dared confide the charge of the de tached wing, and in postSsing one such general he had been more fortu nate than Napoleon. It is noteworthy that Moltke once, at Konlggrarz. curled out tbe opera tion referred tt: Wellington, twice at Victoria and Toulouse: Napoleon, al though be several times attempted it never, except at Uim, with complete success. In his "History of the American War," Lieut.-Col. Fletcher cf Eng land says; "The armies of Grant and Lee were still in the vicinity of Spottsylvania CLurt house. The former notwith standing his vastly preponderating strength, was awaiting reenforce ments. Tbe latter, with only a small and overworked army to rely on, was expecting the arrival of troops from the Shenandoah. "It must, ever remain a marvel how this small force, ill-supplied, over worked and harassed by continual fighting and marcbit g by night and by day, could hold its ground against the almost Innumerable host in Grant's command. Tnat it did so, inflicting losses far heavier than it sustained and creating a belief In the miud of the enemy of numbers far larger than it contained, has been al ready shown. "Two of the three armies or Slgel, Meade and Butler had been forced t? seek shelter behind f rtifi?d lints, the third had been ircught to a halt to await reeuf.)rc*-mentsuand tbe arteries which supplied life to the capital ?j! tne Cjufoderaoy had been preserv ed." Of be movement to the North Anna I-in the Wilderness cam paign, he sa^e; "Here Lee by the exercise of oo "mmmate general uhlp foiled his oppone. t." And of the final end of Grant's endeavor to crush Lee in this campaign he say?: "After many battles and losses of which few wars can rllord a parallel and which surpassed in number the whole strength of the enemy's force. Gea. Grant had brought bb army to a po sition which MiClellan had reached with far greater ease and far,less ex penditure of life two years previous ly." From the history of the United States by the distinguished writer, Mr. James Ford Rhodes of Boston, I quote this crncernlng Lee. "The Confederates bad an advan tage in that Rjbert E. Lie e3ptused t?'. ir CiiUit; to some extent apprecia ted at tae time, tbis is reality was an advantage beyoi d computation. Ilan be fo.lowed tbe example of Fc 'tt and Thomas aud remained in service un der the old dig in active command of tbe army of ihe Potomac, how differ ently might not events have rncatu out. "Lee now 54 jears old, bis face ex hibiting the n-.ddy glow of health, was physically and morally a splendid example of manhood. Able to trace bis lineage far back into the mother country, the best blood of Virginia Bowed in fcis veins. Drawing fnm a kntehr.ly race all their virtues, he had a x-ritea none of their vices. Honest incere, simple,, magnanimous, for bearing, refined, courteous yet dignl fled and proud never lacking self command, he was in all respects a true man. Graduating from West Puint his life had been exclusively that of a soldier, yet be had none of che soldiers bad habits. He used neither liquor nor tobacco and indul ged rarely in a social glaas of wine, and cared nothing for the pleasures of the table. He was a good engineer and under Gen. Scott had won dis tinction in Mexico. The work that bad fallen to his lot he had performed (n a systematic manner and with con scientious care. Duty iB the subli mest word in our language,' he wrote to nis son. Sincerely religious, Provi dence to him was a vertity, and m&y be truly said he walked with God. "A serious man, he anxiouslv watched from his station Lin, Texv the nrngreBS of events since Lincoln'** election. T inking slavery as an institution a moral and political evil.' having a soldiers devotion to his flatr and a warm attachment to Gen. Scott he loved the Union and it was espec tally dear to bim as the fruit of the mighty labors of Washington. Al though believing that the South had just grievances due to the aggression of the north, he did not think these evils great enough to resort to the remedy of revolution and to him se cession was nothing less. 'Still.' he wrote in January' 1861, a union that oan only be maintained by swords and bayonets and in whicn strife and civil war are to take the place of brotherly love and kindness has no cnarm for / me. If the Union is dissolved and the government diB rupted I shall return to my native State and share the miseries of my people and save in defence will draw my sword on none.' Summoned to Washington by his chief, Lee had arrived there a few days before the Inauguration of Lincoln, and he bad to make the decision after the bom bardment of Sumte: and the presl dent's call for troops whether he should serve the national government or Virginia. The active oommand of the Federal army with the succession to the chief place was virtually offer ed to him but/ with his notion of State rights and his allegiance to Vir ginia his decision, though it cost him pain to make it, oould have been no other than it was. He oould not lead an army of invasion into his native State and after the ordinance of se cession had been passed bythe Virgin ia convention he resigned his commis sion and accepted the oommand of the Virginia forces. "Northern.men may regret that Lee did not see bis duty in the same light as did two other Virginian, Scott and Thomas, but censure's voice upon the action of such a noble soul is hushed. A careful survey of his character and life must lead tfce Btu dent of men and &nUlrs to see that the course he took was from his point of view and judged by his Inexorable and pure conscience the oath of duty to which a bigh sense of honor called him. Could we share the thoughts of that hieb minded man as be paced the broad pillared -"orandaof his no ble Arlington bis eyes glaac ing aorooa the ri*v a the fkg of his country, waving ov r the dome of the capitol and th?n resting on the soil of his native Virginia we shou'd be willing now to recognize in him one of the finest products of American life. For surely as the years go on we shall see that ?uch a life can b judged by no partisan measure, and come to look upon bim as the English of our day regard Washington, whom little more than a century ago they delighted to call a rebel. Indeed in all essential characteristics Lee resem bled Washington! and bad the great work of his 1'fe been crowned with success, or he bad chosen the winning side, the world would have acknoled ged that Virginia could in a century produce two men who were the em bodiment of public and private vir tue." "The avenging pan of history" h&8 placed the name of Lee side by side with Wash Lit: ton. So writes the historian of today and so will the future historian prolong the noble records. The fame of Robert Lee is secure in that last appeal to: Time the beauti?er of the dead, Time the corrector where our judg ments err The test of truth;_ Men i*ar?i Sixty lu Danger.

They IfVTNTER are seldom free from pains or ailments of some description, because they are not as able to withstand the severity of the climate, with its damp, changing weather, as are their younger, more vigorous companions. Cold weather starts the old aches and pains; they suffer with chilly sensations, cold extremities, poor appetite and digestion, nervousness, sleeplessness and other afflictions peculiar to old age. With advancing years the strength ?nd .vitality of the system begin to decline. The heart action is weak and irregu lar, the blood becomes thin and sluggish in its circulation, and often some 8Id blood taint that has lain dormant in the system for years begins to man :est itself. A wart or pimple becomes a troublesome sore or ulcer, skin dis eases break out, or the slight rheumatic pains felt in younger days now cause sleepless nights and hours of agony. There is no reason why old age should not be healthy and free from disease if the blood is kept pure and the system strong, and this can be done with S. S. S. It is a medicine that is especially adapted to old people, because it is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, selected for their purifying, healing and building-up properties, and is very mild and gentle in its action.
