He furthur stys:
“lo hto. there are oxirr.pl d d tho.e

which, typifying Virginia at her high

oon fine myself to that one attribute
of hla whloh, reooguisid in a sc liter
by an opponent, I cannot but regard
as his surest and K f :Iest title to eo
during fune. I refer to hla hufoanlty
in arms and his scrupulous regard for
the meet advanced rules of modern
warfare.”
Denying the contention that war
must be made hell, holding up to exe
the authors cf the bloodiest
in history, this generous foe and
Am.rloan said:
“I rejoice that no such hatred at-
to the name of L f e, Reckless

I here, 40 years later, do him Justice.
Ho more creditable order ever issued
Item a commanding general than that
formulated and signed at Cham be re-
burg by Robert E. Lee, as toward the
olose of June, 1863, he advanced on a
war of invasion. ‘No greater disgrace,’
ha then declared, 'em befall the army,
and thnugh it our whole people, than
the perpetration of barbarous outrages
upon the innocent and defetc.‘less.
Such proceedings not only digrace the
perpetrators and all connected wi-.ta
them, but are subversive of the dls
cipllne and efficiency of the army, and
destructive of the ends of our move
ment. It must be remembered that
we make war only on armed men,’
“In scope and spirit Lee’s ofMr was
obsarved, and I doubt if a hostile fffifee
sver advanced Into an eoamy’s ebon
toy or fail back from it In retreat
leaving lem cause of bate and bltter-
nsm tha . did the army of northern
Virginia in that memorable cimpalgn
whloh culminated at Gettysburg.”
In dwelling on this theme, In oon-
to Lee’s humanity, may not
avenging pen cr history” quote
“Ohio in the War” by the Hon.
telaw Reed, at this time ambass
ador of the United States at the Court
Of St. James's, who In speaking of
the burning of Columbia wrote:
‘‘It was the most monstrous barbar
ity of this barbarous march. Before
hla movement began Gen. Sherman
begged permission to turn bis army
loose in South Carolina and devastate
it. He used this permission to the
foil. He protested that he did not
wage war upon women and children.
But, under the operations of his
orders, the last morsel of food was
taken from hundreds of destitute fam-
iliea that his soldiers might feast Id
needless and riotous abundance. Be*
ton his eyes roes, day after day, the
mournful clouds of smoke on every
aide that told of old people and their
grandchildren driven, In midwinter,
from the only roofs there were to
abetter them, by the flames whloh the
wantouaeae of his soldiers had kindled.
Yet If a single soldier was punished
tor a single outrage or theft durlog
that entire movement we have found
no mention of It to all the volumin
ous records of the nffirch.”
May not this avenging pen of hla
lory whloh Sumner Invoked record
that order of Gen. Hal lack, chief of
•tall and military adviser to President
TAw«rUw, which mid to Gen. Sherman,
“Should you capture Charleston I hope

Victoria and Toulouse: Napoleon, al
though be several times attempted it
never, except at Ulm, with complete
juoces-.
In hie “History of the Amerloai
to," Lieut. • lUoirF etcher of Eag
'and sayt;
“The armies of Grant and Lie were
still in the vicinity of Spottsylvanla
court house. The former notwith
standing his vastly preponderating
strength, was awaiting reenforce-.
men<s. The latter, with only a small
\nd overworked army to rely on, was
xpre tag the arrival of troops from
the Shenandoah.
“It must ever remain a marvel how
this s nail foroe, 111 supplied, over
worked and harassed by oontinual
lighting and marching by night and
by day, could hoi<yts ground against
tbe almost Innumerable .host la
Grant’s command. That it did eo
indicting losses far heavier than it
sustained and creating a belief In the
mind of the eoemy of numbers far
targer than it contained, has been al
ready shown;
“Two of the three armies or Slgel,
Meade and Butler had been feroed to
seek shelter behind f irtilled lines, tbe
third bad been brought to a halt to
await reenforcements and the arteries
which supplied life to the capital
of the Confederacy bad bean preserv
ed.”
Of the movement to the North
Anna river in the Wilderness cam
palgn, he says; “Here Lee by tbe
exercise of ccusummste generalship
folled hts opponent.” And of the final
end of Grant’s endeavor to crush Lee
many battles and losses of whloh few
ware can affird a parallel and whloh
surpassed in number the whole
strength of the enemy’s foroe. Gen.
Grant bad brought his army to a po
sition which McClellan had reached
with far greater ease and far less ex
penditure of Ufe two yean previous
ly."
From the history of the United
Spates by tbe distinguished writer,
Mr. Jamee Ford Rhodes of Boston, I
quote this concerning Lee.
“The Confederates had an advan
tage in that Robert E. Lee espoused
their cause; to some extent appreola-
' ted at the time, thlx ls reality was an
advantage beyond computation. Had
he followed the example of Scott and
Thomas and remained In service iun
der the old fiag la active command of
the army of the Putomao, how differ
ently might not event* have turned
out.
“Lee now 54 years old, his face ex
hibiting the ruddy glow of health,
was physically and morally a splendid
example of manhood. Able to trace
his lineage far back into the mother
country, the best blood of Virginia
flowed In his veins. Drawing from a
knightly race all their virtues, he had
inherited none of their vices. Hweet
sincere, simple, magnanimous, for
bearing, refined, oourt#ous yet digni
fied end proud never lacking aelf
command, be was in all respects a
true man. Graduating from West
Point his life had been exelustvely
that of a soldier, yet he had none of
tbe Midlers bad habits. He used
neither liquor nor tobaooo and Indul
ged rarely In a social glam 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
had fallen to hla lot ha had performed
In a systematic manner and with oon-
seientlods care. Doty la the sabli-
mest word In our language,' he wrote
to his ion. Sincerely religious, Provi
dence to him was a verity, and it may
be truly said he walked with God.
“A serious man, he anxiously
watched from hie station In Texas
the progress of events since Lincoln’s
election.
Thinking slavery as an Institution
a moral and political evil.’ having a
soldiers devotion to hie flag and a
warm attachment to Gen. Scott he
loved the Union and it was espec
ially dear to him ss the fruit of the
mighty labors of Washington. Al
though believing that the Sooth had
Just grlevaoosa due to ths aggression
of the north, be did not think these
evils great enough to resort to tbe
remedy of revolution end to blni 'ie*
oesslon was nothing less.

Washington by his chief, Lee had
arrived there a few days before tbe
Inauguration of Lincoln, and he had
to make the decision after thn- bom
hard men t of Sumter and tbe presl
dent’s call for troops whether be

or Virginia. The active command of
s Idlers than those who followed Lee,
and their leader will undoubtedly
rank ss, without any exceptions, the
very greatest of all ths great ov tains
that the English speaking people have
brought forth—and this, although the
last and chief of his antagonists may

From no more oxpable source could
nigher praise be given.
lathe “Story of a-Sildler’s L'fe,’’
Field Marshal V.soount Wolseley
oommander-ln chief of the British
army, sBasking of the Seven Days
battle says:
“Gen. MoUlsllan’s splendidly equip
ped army had been driven from the
oenluiuls end Gen. Pope had been
made short work of on the Bappahan
nock. They ware unable to oope with
Gen Lee’s army though it was far in
ferior in strength. - In fact, th* Oon
federates bad won ail along the line,
thanks to the ably conceived and well
calculated strategy of ths great Vlr
gtnlan leader and the brilliant tactics
of Stonewall Jadnoo and other cap
able soldiers and to tbe superior fight
log qualities of their splendid and pa
triot ic rank and file.
That campa'gn was a masterpieo'
both in oonoeption and exioutton and
did high honor to the soldierlike spirit
and patrlotlsn of the ill shod, over
worked, badly clothed regimental of
fleers and men of the Southern army:
Asoording to my notion of mill
tary history there is aa ntreoh instruc
tion both in strategy and in taot'es to
be gleaned from Gen. Lee’s operations
of 1862 as there Is to be found in Na
poleon's campaigns of 1796. Though
badly found in weapons, ammunition.

Of this visit to Lee Gen. Wolseley
says: T
“As I waited outside of Gen. Lee’s
tent while his aide-de-camp entered
to tell him who I was and to deliver
him a letter from the Oon federate
secretary of war, I remarked It bad tbe
-name of a colonel of some New Jersey
regiment printed upon it. Subsequent-

strategy was Justified by tucoees. In
the space of three weaks he had car

80,000 Into th* forMfieatioiu of

If, aa Moltke av?n. the jreaction of

the highest sohievement of military
genius, the campaign stalest Pope
has seldom been aurpemed; and tbe
great counter stroke at ttsassmae is
suffloisnt in Itself to mske Lee’s repu

test alone Lee stands cut as one of

ed In carrying out the operation of

with the same result of surprising bis
adversary. None knew better how to

said; "You will find every tent, gun,

is Indelibly stamped on my memory.
