LEF?ON THE AGGRESSIVE He Was Not Only Grand as a Warrior, Noble as a Man, Matchless as a Tactician, But an Unknown Phase of His Career Was His Success as an Aggressive Fighter (Written tor the Anderson Daily Mail by Prof. J. K. Hrcedin, Dean of An derson College. It is possible to invest a beloved \ man with such a glorified character as to cause tho.se who did lot enjoy | intimate acquaintance with him to wonder just what were the actual I principles and achievements of the person discussed. It is lamentably true, for example, that to the average man George Washington is but a memory of one s early school days with nothing of remembered fact upon which to base a just and mature appreciation. As the valiant men of the Army of Northern Virginia pass from the scenes of time we, too, may find our selves so engrossed In material strife, so uniinbued with the early southern spirit, so unfamiliar with the details of the war as to be forgetful of the true measure of a man like Lee.' No one need say that Leo had a body of unequalled men to execute his orders; all know that. Hut just there It may be said -that the most intrepid body of men are compara tively useless wftth'OUt the guUWirg genius of a master tactician. In that Lee was superlative. Not even Napoleon excelled him there. When King William of England attacked the first Irish troops of James 11 at Hlver Hoyne, the gallantry of the Irish was wasted, because of the Incapac ity and cowardice of their leaders. After the surrender one of the Irish challenged an English soldier to exchange lead ers and fight the battle over. In calm of long years of peace, we recognize the martial ardor and valor of the union soldiers who, while not equalling the exploits of the southern men. added to the renown of military prowess and it gladdens our hearts that we yielded to men so brave and generous. Hut what would (Sen. Lee have done with the Union Army? If he with his tired, hungry, poorly-provided army could so often take with the fury of an aval anche armies of double and treble the size what would he have done with n army, with groat stores always at bis command? Gen. Lee was the one man who could have fought as he did; just as George Washington was the one Indespensable figure in the Revolution, Just here we quote a northern his torian: "He (Lee) was a man of the highest culture, of quiet, sincere life, of noble impulse, of perfect morals. He would have been chosen chiel commander of the Union Armies; but he could not turn his sword upon the state that had given him birth. Lee was the ablest command er of the south, and many believe he had no equ..' on the other side of the Union, An interesting phase of Men. Lee's leadership was his aggressiveness. Many continue to speak of him as a defensive general, whereas ho was the most aggressive commander on either side. Hut, in the happy phase of John Hay, it was "mingled w.sdom and daring." Not headlong or Incau tious, but with fine estimate of the ability or Inability of his antagonist he studied the next probable move of the enemy, and prepared to thwart it. The same sure judgment of his op ponent suggested unprecedented dis positions of his men, as dividing his small army in the very face of an overwhelming body of the enemy. The daring scheme of weakening his army by detaching Stonewall Jackson from his position in front of Hurnside to send him around yielded abundant results in the inglor ious rout of that bombastic worthy. Hut ChancollorsvElle was a dear victory when it cost Stonewall .lack son, not to mention the hundreds of chivalrous men now unremcmhered individually save by friends and lov ed ones who cherish their memory as heroes whose deeds illumine history, Though Jackson and Leo have well established claims on the admiration on all military men, the old question of the credit for conceiving the Chan cellorsvlllo plan Beems constant to spring up again. It is interesting to read Col. Henderson, the great biog rapher of Jackson: We have rec ord of few enterprises of greater dar ing than that which was then decided upon; and no matter from whose brain It emanated, on Leo the bur den of responsibility; on his shoulders and on him alone, rested the honor of the Confederate arms, i the fate of Richmond and the indo ! pondence of the south and if we may j suppose, so constant was the design proposed with the strategy which Jackson had already practiced, that to him (Jackson) Its Inception was due, it is still to Lee that we must as sign the higher merit. It is easy to COncleve. It is less easy to execute. But to risk cause and country, name and reputation, on a single throw and to abide the issue with unflinching heart, is the supreme o.\51>?ti?>n of the soldier's fortitude." As a stubborn, unconquered fighter see Leo at Sharpsburg, the blood iest day of the war each side having lost about a quarter of Its lighting strength, with fewer than forty thou sand men he fought an army of sev enty thousand and repulsed them so effectually that McClellan showed no disposition to resume lighting the next morning. Alter the battle Long ???reet and Jackson, though luckso i usually concurred with Leo, urged rccrossing the Potomac, but the tin daunted spirit of Lee rebelled nl the thought of retreating while a chance remained, and lie replied: "OoilCe men, I shall remain wi, >r ? | .,?,_ \r McClellan offers me a chance, I shall I light again." Roper says much in praise of Leo :iere and adds "Nor could any trnns have more fully justified tec reli ance their leader put in thein than I the troops of the arin> of Northern j Virginia. Hut the south exults not so much in the ripe genius of war, as in the stately man, the courtly gentlemen, the humble Christian. In looking hack we thing more of the moral grandeur of man than of his Bltr tactlcian. We think of how he re pasalng exploits ?is stateglst or noutlCCd military rank of the highest In the service wherin he had dis tinguished himself for the sake of a cause, even thinking of enlisting as a private. We seem to hear him cheer a despondent subordinate and take to himself all the blame; we see him tower above the purely human In man as he looks at the half hearted support of lyongstreet at Get tysburg. We do well to remember Qenoral Lee. No life in history better repays careful study. And as we think of the man and the cause we get new in spiration from his wholly unselfish life, his pure and radiant, spirit, his Implicit trust in (Jod, and his faith in the ultimate triumph of right. May the south ever regard men and lofty character above all else and continue steadfast In those old Ideas and traditions which in large meas ure molded Lee. WHITES HIS FIKST HOOK.
