TiUIpson) Some of this will be a repetition of things I have written in the past. Spottsylvania County, Va., is one of the great battle 'grounds of the 'world. Compared as to numbers with the mil lions marshaled upon 'the fields of France and Belgium in the recent great iwar, lSpottsylvania alppears small. But to comparo with Napoleon and Wellington on the same fields a century before, it is different. It is doubtful Lf either -the French or British army at Waterloo exceeded in numbers the army of Hooker at Chau cellorsville, or that of Grant and teade at -the 1WIlderness. Chancellorsville (1863) was called one of the great victories of the centi ry. But it is not numbers that consti tute the greatness of the event, nor the numerleal strength of the army that will determine 'the rank the com niander will -be awarded among the world's great soldiers. Any other view of it would seriously impair, if not obliterate Jackson's claims (so grievously correct) to undying fame. It -is Jackson's famous Shennandoah Valley campaign of 1862, a period in twhich he held separate command, that carried his name and fame beyond the seas. In this brief time (about three months) his force at no time exceeded twenty thousand men, and with which he fought and beat three separate Fed eral armies, each superior in numbers and all manner of equipment, to his own. It is the extent to which the leader's achIevements go, as coml pared with the men and resources at his command, and the obstacles to ov ercome. This reasonting applies to the achievements of great Lee, acting in a larger sphere. Tried by this test, the great soldiers of 'the North-Grant, Sherman, Sheri (lan--fall behind Lee, Jackson, Forrest and I1ampton, and cannot take rank with them with the future historians. Come to 'think, in the recent great war, all the parties to the conflict had great lea(ers, hut there is no proof that .l'e and .Jackson had an equal on ci-ther si(le. Let's see: there was Germany with vastly superIor forces, aid with an equipment that -gave an appearance of the greatest war mia chine the world had ever seen, held in cheek, repulsed for long drawn out weeks and months, by the ill prc pare(l forces of the allies. I would think that military men lwould say that with Lee and Jackson leadership Paris would have fallen. On -the other side it. In but fair to say that, while giving all credit for allied leadership, after AmeriCa vent into 'it, 'the fight was not won until Germany was outnumbered. Who can think of any of the 'world war leaders living in history as will Leo and .1ackson. liut let's come back to tlhe Rapa htannock. It is natural that we boys hark back to the old cami) and battle field. One sixth of the losses of the four' years of wanr occurred in this 0old county.

The brigade suffered heavily, the 3rd .regIment, by reason of it/s -place in line to the fr'ont of the Maryc filouse, wvhich is still standing, suffered terribly. The Briars carried In twventy-flye men, camne out at dark, wvith three men to anawer r'oll call, saeven1 dead. The State Guards went In with forty-one, came out iwith three. Of course rthere was gener'ally four or five wvounded -to one killed. Out of twenty fIve of the Briars, seven. were killed, or' mortally iwounded, the other fifteen, with wounds fr'om which they riecov. ecred. I have more -than once called atten tion -to the number of killed at Fred ericksburg, called -at the cemetery on memorIal occasions. There are many other fields called, but Fredericksburg leads.
