For th? true elements of greatness that were his, and for his unselfish devotion to her as a soldier aad citi zen. Virginia mourn j the death of Gen. George Washlnirton Custis Lee. The oldest son of a great sire, having many of hi.; finest trait.?, he was th<? possessor of uncommon abilities and of noble qualiti**? of character. To him a.* a aoldier. his contemporaries, both in the "old army" of the United States and in the Confederate army, pay high tribute A first honor grad uate of West Point, he served in the United States army with distinction until the hour came when, like hia father, he offered hia sword to Vir ginia. Restrained by 3talt duties in Richmond, he saw a ilttle service in the field until toward the final years of the struggle, but as a soldier in ac tion he served with such distinguished conduct as to entitl* him even a loftier rank than t'.-f major generalcy which he received. Modesty in the highest degree was a characteristic of both Gen. Robert E. Lee and hi3 son who died yester day. Neither sought promotion nor "reputation even in the cannon's mouth;" but always forgot self to think of others. It was the father's desire from the first that his son should be a soldier in the field, a3 It was the son's, but it was the will of President Davis that the son should serv? as one of hi3 taff officers, and so It came about that in the greater part of the war G. W. C. Lee was on staff duty, frequently acting as the method of communication between the Confederate president and Lee, the elder. In the spring of 1364. President Davis, through a distin guished general, sent a message to Gen. Lee ?aying that he would order the 3on to a certain important com mand, and would make him major general or lieutenant general, at the same time expressing an exalted opin ion of the ability of the son as a sol dier, but the father replied: "I am very much obliged to the president for hi3 high opinion of Custis Lee. and I hope that if Custis has the op portunity he will prove himself not entirely unworthy of the president's high opinion. But he Is an untried man. Against his will and my own, the president has kept him on his staff?and I will not take an untried man and promote him over my vet eran officers, especially when that man is my own son." When Gen. Er well, af'er Sailor's Creek, protested that "the discipline preserved by Gen. G. W. C. Lee in eam;> and on the march, and the manner in which he handled his troops in action, fully jus tified the ret,ue.Ht I had made for his promo'ion " President Davis replied "that the only obstacle to be over come was Lee's objection to receiving promotion." In the same connection Mr. I>avls refers to his "valuable services" as a commander of the local troops for the defense of Richmond. His offer to the Union government to substitute himself for his brother. Gen. W. H. F. Lee, when the latter was held as a hostage of war under sentence of death, because the latter had a wife and children while he had none, was characteristic of the man, as was his attempt to give Arlington to his father and mother when It had been wdlled to him. For more than three decades he enlisted himself In the cause of edu cation in the South. For the first five years after Appomattox he was pro fessor of mechanics and engineering at the Virginia Military Institute. In 1871 he succeeded his father a3 pres ident of Washington and Lee, and un til 1897 administered that institution in an eminently satisfactory manner, largely upon the lines laid down by his father. He served the nation that was and the nation that (s, faithful through all to his State. He did his duty simply and quietly wherever he found it. Virginia holds his memory in endur. Ing honor.
