He was graduated from West Point in 1856, and was commissioned second ieutenant in the 2d cavalry. His first detail was to drill recruits at the -Carlisle Barracks, in Penn sylvania. Within a year h? was lermitted to join his regiment in the Southwest, where he engaged in some spirited combats with the Indians. In one of these fights he was severely wounded, an In dian arrow having lodged in his side. A fellow soldier endeavored to extract the arrow, but he suc ceeded only in pulling out the shaft, leaving the arrowhead buried in the flesh, and there it still re mains. In one of his Indian fights Lee meet a big red man hand to. hand. The Indian, who was a chief, was more than fix feet in height. He attacted Lee and tried to stab him. The latter had a re volver in his hand and fired, but the Indian grabbed the barrels and diverted the bullet. The revolver then dropped to the ground. The Indian still retained his bowie knife and again tried to stab his adversary. Lee rushed in upon the Indian and hugged him for dear life. The two men wrestled fiercely for a while, and Lee,! re membering the 1 ‘Old Virginia back heel trip which,” he learned at school, put it into execution, and’ the red skin went down. Lee then quickly grabbed his revolver from the ground and shot the In dian dead. The arrow wound took the young soldier out of the field for a while. When he recovered suf ficiently to resume active service he was ordered to West Point as an instructor in cavalry tactics. The outbreak of the war of the re bellion found him serving in that capacity, but imbued with a sense of loyalty to his native State, he resigned his commission and of fered his services to the Confed eracy.—New York Times.
