And, leaving Grant, Mbernian, .Sheridan, Meads and T bonus out of tho question entirely: what did sonic of our other famous r '*trategi*t»’’ eccompliah? Firsr, Me Dowell, with a magnilicentlr equipped army aud of superior number*. wa» routed on equal footing at the first Bat tle of Hull Run. Next, McClellan, with a llnely equipped army of nearly 'JOO.Onp men, was outfought and out- goneralled and finally driven from the peninsula by I^ec. with an nriny great ly Inferior to McClellan’s in numerical atrength and general equipment. Next come* Pope, with hea 'quArtera ("hind quarters") In the saddle, and he got sorely -'done up" at tin second Bull Run affair by Lee aud Jackson. »cn Aotiatam was really only a drawn bat tle between Lee and MeOlellan, w,th Ahe odd* In favor of Leo, if anything, fijedar Mountain waa another I'uion blunder, under -Banks. The affair at B.one River. Tenn., between Bragg and our alleged great "strategist" Rosecrana, waa really another drawn battle and, if anything, waa In favor of Bragg! At (Jhicamauga our army, also under RoGoerans and with equal nihI perhaps superior numbers and ''equipment, was, In a fair, open, ' stand up" flghf, completely rotrted and driven batk into nnd around Chattanooga. And had It not been for the valiant Thome*, the rock nf Chicamauga, and a remnant of our troops under the Had of Granger and Steadman, Ro*ecran* might have lo»t hi* entire army by cap ture or by being driven into the Ten nessee river. A little more about the gallant Gen. Thomas, (by tb* way, a Virginian by birth ) When Sherman started on his famous march to the sea, he left behind him, for Thoma* to take care of, the most formidable Confederate force In the South, under the "lighting Hood,” except that of f,e*. Sherman then inarched on through practically an empty Confederacy, meeting with little or no opposition until he met Johnatcn In the Carolines, and with but-feeble opposition, comparatively, from Johnston. But Thoma* did the •tort thoroughly that was left for him to do, and In hla own good time, and not hurried either by the Impatient and unreasonable Grant, who, being bun dreda of miles away from Thoma*’ j field* of operations, cnol-J not knuwj J«e* what tb; dement* ware dRog to ' man. Tnomaa was my ids*! of *•! the Federal commanders, and he never re ceived due credit from any of hi* su perior* or from the government be eervod so long and .faithfully f >r all that be did. In my opinion, with the same opportunities, he would have proven himarlf the equal or even the superior of any of our Hading gener als, But, being a .southerner by birth, no doubt it had a tendency to keep him . in subordinate position — the general who never made a mia- ukn or luat a battle <rf hit> own pi tit- ning—another consummate 8 mihern general. Aoothe- mi»erai4'] fiasco, which I forgot to mention In regular order, waa tho Burnside affair at Fredericks burg. Ami to conclude. I’ll mention Gettysburg, where Lee really made his Aral arrinus blunder during the progress of a battle, vig : In ordering Longatreet’e aaaault. Improperly sup ported, on our practically lorpregna- bH position. And Gettysburg waa an other affair where, with a ragged poorly equipped, half-atarved, half dHired army fthe writer was there hlnmlL and know* whereof he apeak*] and with an army of much Jea* numerical strength, also. Lee fought .Monde’* magniticently equipped legions throughout three terrible days, driving them from one strong- posltlcn to another, until wo finally took refuge on rock bound Culp's Hill and the ImpregnatiH Cometery Ridge. And even then they broke through our lines In several place*, and had It not been for these naturally fining position* much strengthened by stone walls, rttV) pits and redoubt*, they would have routed ua from these po sitions! Hut Meade <tud bl* general*, after a council of war, tinallv con cluded to cling t > the hdl and ridge aud try to hold them at all hazard*, and l guess thl* proved to be our silvatl >n at Oettvsburg In conclusion: After a careful atudv of the ground over which many of the great bairH* ‘f the civil war were longht and taking ad other thing* Into consideration. I am f treed to the unwelcome coiiclu»ino, ( a pre viously stated], that either tlie Fed eral commanders, from the beginning to the close of the war, were. *1 nost immeaaurahlv inferior in g^neraUhiTj lactic*, strategy, and in nearly every thing that gne* to mako the aucce** ful commander, or else the Southern soldiers ithe rank and tile] were more persistent and desperate light er* in f «ir, open Held tight*. Or, in spurting parlance they would stand me gill better at dose quarter*, than their northern nntsgon 1*1*. In thG (ctler. I have endeavored to hew to the tine, let the chips fall where they m*v.

But thl* is no harrier against expressing my aeni iinents from i strldlv military point of lie*. I comdder that Gen K. K. Lee h** never been surpassed, nor in fact, cquaHd, *• a tactidao, strategist and Held marshal by any oilier military mail, aneieul or modern. And thi*, too. greatly haedirapped a* ho w i* Uiroiigtiout his whole care»r ss a genera 1 , and a« no oilier general on record lias bean handicapped.
