Gen. E. W. Moise's Tribute
to the South's Greatest
Soldier and Citizen.
T|ie following address was deliv?
ered by Gen. Moise at the Lee Me?
morial Exercises at the Graded
School, January 19th:
Ladies and Gentlemen : This day
bas been set .apart by the State of
South Carolina as a public holiday,
and this occasion has been appropri?
ately selected for the purpose of. in?
structing the large 'number of the
youth of this city and county in the
reasons . which have induced the
State to make this day one of almost
religious observance. It is import
ant that the young people of this
country should be impressed with the
grandeur and nobility of the man
who was born on this day, ninety
years ago, who lived sixty-three
years, and died as we shall show,
leaving behind him a reputation and
a name which is the brightest jewel
in the crown of his native State, the
mother of States and statesmen
We are not here to deliver a pene
gyric upon Robert E. Lee. "The
living man scorned fulsome adulation
and his living spirit, if permitted to
be with us now, would reject with
scorn any testimonial which could
not bear the scrunity of time and the
pur? test of truth." The character
.of Gen Lee can gain nothing from
what we may say here to day. We
are not hero worshippers, but we
adopt the beautiful thought with
which Mr. Hammond opened his
noble eulogy upon South Carolina's
greatest son, John C. Calhoun Mr
Hammond said : "Faith is an in
stinct of the human heart, its strong?
est, its purest and its noblest in
stinct ; the parent of love and of
hope, in all ages and everywhere.
Mankind have adored and put their
trust in the great Ruler of the uni?
verse, and descending from the holy
and infinite to the human and finite,
they have entertained the same senti?
ments, differing only in degree for
those of their own raGe who have
especially been endowed with an ex?
traordinary degree of intellect or of
virtue. The ancient heathen deified
them ; amongst the early Christians
they were enrolled among the saints.
It is a shallow and a base philosophy
which finds superstition in such
usage only, and fails to recognize the
working of a profound admiration
and veneration for the attributes of
God as manifested in His favorite
creations." With strict truth and
simple, unadorned statement we pro
pose to demonstrate to these children
here assembled and to all our audi
ence that Robert Edmund Lee stood
in the front of gifted mortals, either
of this or of any other age, and we
propose to prove it by the unbiased
testimony of the civilized world.
Gen Lee was a great soldier, per?
haps the greatest of. this or any other
age, but the world has been produc
tive of many great soldiers They
have been found in all countries and
in all time, but by a careful analysis
it will appear that in addition to his
soldierly qualities Gen Lee possess
ed also in eminent degree all those
rarer traits which constitute perfect
manhood and heroic virtue Merit is
comparative. We shall draw honest
portraitures of the great military
geniuses who have adorned histor,
and we shall show that not one of
these possessed ?hat-rounded, com
plete and perfect character which
had embellished the man whose birth?
day we this day celebrate.^ Achilles
was said to have been of divine ori?
gin ; his powers in arms was con?
spicuous among great chieftains, but
it will be observed that such was
bis selfishness of character that he
withdrew from the service of his
allies because forsooth a wretched
captive wa? wrested from his arms
by his commanding chief. Achilles
is perhaps a fictitious personage, yet
he embodies the epic idea of the first
and greatest of heroic writers With
Gen Lee there was no selfishness
His high soul claimed no credit for
his achievements, but gave ail praise
to that overruling Providence to
which he ascribed his greatest suc?
cess and in fact all of his victories..
Alexander conquered the Eastern
world, yet slew his friend, Clytus, in
a moment of wild dissipation "and ;
left a name to other times linked j
with one virtue and a thousand j
crimes." Gen Lee left a name j
which he who dv.es not honor is him j
self unworthy of respect. Ile fought
no effeminate Persians, but met the
resolute sons of the great North and
West, men who could rally after de?
feat, and before whose eyes was al?
ways borne those "Stars and Stripes"
which had given freedom to the
world, and which he had learned at
his mother's knee to honor, to love
and to defend He met those skilled
officers who fell upon every field and
before, whose dyiner eyes, the world
receding and growing less and less,
yet revealed the spirit of patriotism,
waving that loved standard and beck?
oning his dying soul to the reward of
the patriot an ^ the mart jr And
such a memory our chieftain left that
the survivors of our folds unite in
heaping laurel wreaths upon his
humble bier " Caesar was great in
peace and in war. a scholar, as well
as a soldier, yet Caesar fell, not at
the hand of the enemies of Rome,
but by the dagger -o*'. Brutus, his
friend, who struck him down that
liberty might live. Lee had not the
ambition of Julius Caesar, and no
man could have been found within
the length and breadth of the Ameri
cati Continent, friend or foe, who
would have lifted a hand to hurt that
humble citizen whose brow reflected
alike to Northerner and Southerner
"those rays of light which gleamed
on Moussa's cheek, run down the
mount he trod, all glorious from the
presence of his God " Napoleon
was preeminently a soldier, a
genius of war, and also a profound
politician. His renown has filled
the world, "and lo ! the trump of
fame makes seldom echo of a nobler
name" For twenty years Europe
stood aghast before the wild i I i ti m i
ni?t on which flashed from his red
artillery. France became an oriflnne
of war, and all mankind recognized
and bowed before the genius from
Corsica Yet was Napoleon's pri
vate life blurred and stained by the
darkest excesses. He did not hesi?
tate to^. send forth from her high
state the woman who had loved
him long ere his star had reached
its zenith. The murder of the
Duke d'Enghein is a stain spon the
memory of Napoleon. His retreat
from Moscow, where he had been de?
tained by a loathsome disease, the
loss of the great battle of Leipsic,
the loss of Waterloo are blasts upon
his escutcheon. Waterloo might not
have been lost had Napoleon held
Grouchy in close communication and
thus prevented Blucher from fajling
upon his flank in the critical hour of
the day. The retreat from Water
loo was not creditable to Napoleon?
and history must regard him as great
in victory, but weak in adverse for?
tune, whilst Gen. Lee shone through
the darkness of the blackest night
and became in ruin and defeat the
grand apostle of that nobler courage
which is proof against the adverse
arrows of relentless fate. His words,
when all was lost, ring in the cars of
his surviving people and will be
heard to the remotest posterity :
"Human virtue should be equal to
human misfortune, and, oh, a thou
sand deaths were preferable to this,
but if we die what will become of
the women and the children of the
South ? We must go home and care
for them, and *build up anew our
ruined homes and till the soil, with
profound submission to the will of
God." These words, so indicative
of a mind attuned to the highest
sense of duty, are in accord with the
sentiment he impressed upon his
young son, "That duty is the noblest
word in the English language."
The world resounds with the plau?
dits given in mo6t generous manner
to Arthur Wellesley, the Dake of
Wellington, and well did this iron
man merit the praise he received.
Yet must it be remembered that on
the great day of Waterloo, at 4
o'clock in the afternoon, he cried out
in the great travail of his soul :
"Would to God that night or Blucher
would corner." It must also be taken
into consideration that while he was
opposed to the gratest soldier of his
day, yet the army of Napoleon Bona?
parte was composed largety of boys,
and Napoleon himself was obese, un?
sound in health and over-confideut,
and it must be also remembered that
at a critical hour of the day he was
heavily reinforced by Field Marshal
Blucher-sometimes called "Vor
wartz," meaning forward ?-with 80,
000 Prussians Lord Wellington was
a noble character, and deserves his
great reputalon ; but when he met
Napoleon France was wear}7 of war
and all allied Europe wap. at his (Wei
lington's) bael:. Iiis country was !
abundantly supplied with ail the re- j
sources of war The wealthiest na :
tion on earth, with a navy superior 1
j to thai of all others combined ; with !
I Alexander of Russia moving to his
{ aid, and Fiancis Joseph of Austria i
I approaching with a splendid army,
with immense reinforcements already :
mobilized, and a nucleus of British j
soldiers whose tenacity and stubborn ?
courage had been severely tested at
Vittoria, Torres Vedras and Ciudad
Roderigo-all resources were avail?
able to him-whilst Lee ntood with a
ragged army, half fed, half clothed
and often barefooted, with few re?
sources, in his rear, and with a country
blockaded as to every port ; without
manufactories of arms or munitions,
and having only such supplies as he
wrested from his enemy-yet, hurl?
ing back armies larger than his own
until exhausted by the attrition of
armed men Can there be any com?
parison between these two : Ulyses
S. Grant coming from the West with
the reputation rf never having been
defeated, (although on one or two oc?
casions he had approached singularly
near to that unfortunate condition,)
with entire command of all the
United States ; with his lieutenant,
Sherman, in the West cutting off sup?
plies of men and materials or even
provisions from Gen Lee ; with an
army outnumbering his opponent's
on every field ; with a disposition^
prodigally to expended the life blood
of his soldiers, knowing that while
he could reinforce his depleted ranks,
his adversary-to u?e his own words
- '.had robbed the cradle and the
grave to organize the force he theH
held in the field " Yet. notwith?
standing all this, it is matter of his
tory, admitted to be true on all sides,
that from the day when, in the spring
of 1864, Gen. Grant appeared in
front of Lee in the Wilderness. until
the clo?e of the campaign in 1864 at
Cold Harbor, Gen Grant iost more
men in killed wounded and missing
than Lee had in his array, and it is
absolutely true that, although Gen.
Grant had announced his determina?
tion to reach Richmond on the line
he had taken up, "if it took him all
summer," yet he utterly failed to
keep this promise, and the summer of
1864 closed with Grant beseiging the
cities of Petersburg and Richmond
and constastly extending his left
flank as fast as reinforcements came
to him, whilst his opponent held a
weak line of thirty miles in length,
with a force utterly inadequate. Gen
Grant called to his aid the soldiers
of fortune from all over the world,
and his country rewarded them with
bounties which the South coi ld not
pay. He summoned the engineering
skill of the miner and through the
bowels of the earth he tunnelled a
path terminating between the bat?
teries of his foe. At daylight he'ex
ploded one hundred tons of gun
powder beneath the lines of his ad?
versary and moved 5,000 men to
enter like a wedge into the crevasse
thus made. But when the morning
sun rose on that beautiful June day
it reflected back the serene brow of
Robert Lee as he. with his full and
entire staff, rallied his soldiers, and,
after a desperate conflict, reinstated
his lines with immense slaughter of
Gen. Grant's troops-a slaughter so
great that Gen Burnside was Court
martialled for the ruin brought to his
division on that bloody day.
That Lee was finally oompel'ed to
surrender the remnant of bis army is
no proof that Grant was the greater
general, and such bas not been the ver
diet of mankind Hannibal Btaods
to day immensely higher io the world's
estimation than Scipio, who conquered
bim at Zama. The three buodred
Spartans who fell at the Pass of Tber
mopplae, upon whose monument is in?
scribed ihese words : "Oh, stranger,
tell it to the Lacedemonians that we lie
here in obedieoce to her precepts ; bave
done more to make the name of Greece
famous than all the glories shed
around the plain of Marathon and the
Cape of Salamis." It is in the fires of
adversity that the nature of mao is
purified and refined. "The stubborn
metal of the mine must burn before its
surface shiue " It was indeed in
defeat, and with a heart brokeu by the
misfortunes of his countrymen that
Gen. Lee reached the highest pinnacle
of his true greatness. When the war
was over be was offered positions of
great, emolument, if he would suffer his
name to be useu i any commercial en?
terprise, but firm as granite rock he
stood agaiost all temptation, and de?
voted the balance of his life, so short,
to the education of the youth of his coun?
try. As the moon often dispeis the clouds
of a dark night and chines in placid
beauty, so did the example of Robert E.
Lee calm the storms in the popular
heart, and made of Southern men
hitherto so rash and deperatc, the ex?
ponents of humility, of resignation and
of peace. The great. Moltkc, who rose
to eminence in 1870, and swept thc
German eagles over prostrate France,
had at his back thc allied Teutonic na?
tions and thc splendid discipline of
Prussian troops. His armies were so j
numerous, so well appointed, so thor- j
oughly armed and couipped and his rc- ?
inforccmeats so tremendous in volume j
thar he was enabled in the surrenders j
;it Mettz, Sedan and Pans io capture j
more troops and inure; equipments for j
war than Lee had ever commanded, j

bu! great a soldier as he was he had at
bis sido bia Emperor, with plenitude of j
power. He had Bismarck with ampli- j
tude of brain. The Red Prince with

Opposed to bim was Bazaine, since
adjudicated to be a traitor; McMahon,
a good soldier, bet who rushed upon
the German advance at Woerth before
he had realized that there were soldiers
before him, who would shoot at bis
troops through spectacles He had the
Emperor Napoleoo III, an effete mon?
arch, who rushed ioto war with one of
the strongest powers of Europe at the
behest of his wife, and to save his tot?
tering dynasty. Lives there a mao in
Europe or America who for one momeot
believes that if Lee had had Von
Moltke's troops in perfect equipment,
or Grant's legioos, fat and sleek, with
all the munitions of war; lives there a
mao, I say, who does not know in bis
heart of hearts, that with such armies
and such equipment Lee would have
marched io triumph across the conti?
nent? Let us not be, however, bliod
to the censure or deaf to the cavils
which have been heard as to our hero's
generalship. It has been said that Lie
was worsted at Sharpsburg, or Antie?
tam, as it is sometimes called, aod de?
feated at Gettysburg. Let us look to
this charge with candor. It is a well
koowo and recognized fact that just
previous to the battle of Sharpsburg a
copy of Geo. L?e's order, detailing the
proposed movements of the army,
which had been sent to Gen. D. fl. Hill
for his guidance, fell by accident or
treachery into the haods of Gen
George B. McClellan, commanding the
United States army. Any person of
ordinary intelligence can estimate the
immense advantage accruiog to Geo.
McClellan from this unfortunate acci?
dent, if accident it be. It enabled him to
move by interior lines and counter-check
Gen. Lee's combinations; it eoabled
bim to force an engagement while Gen.
Lee's great lieutenant. Jackson, was at
Harper's Ferry, It is true that by
forced marches Jackson came up, but
his troops w*re worn and fatigued.
Notwithstanding all this on the second
day at Sbarpsburg Gen. Lee proposed
to Jackson to move around the left
flank of McClellan, (after crushing that
flank with artillery fire,) Jackson and
his chief of artillery differed with Lee,
and deemed the position of McClellan
to be so well supported by batteries
that it would be unsafe to make the
move. Who can tell what would have
been the result had. Jackson adopted
Lee's views, as he did afterward, i
the Wilderness, and at Chancellors?
ville ? Even after this bold move had
been abandoned Lee stood in line all
day and awaited an attack from
McClellan, which did not come. A
retreat followed, but it was not a defeat,
and this notwithstanding the great pre?
ponderance of McClellan's forces.
At Gettysburg success attended the
arms of the South on the first two days,
and oo the third day Gen. Lee deter?
mined to attack Gen Meade on Ceme?
tery Ridge. That attack would in all
human probability have sucoeded had
it received from Gen. Longstreet that
hearty support that Gen Lee bad a
right to expect. Pickett's division was
of Longstreet corps, and tho future
historion will, in all reasonable proba?
bility, conclude that if Longstreet had
accompanied the obarge in person and
supported it with his whole corps and
bh whole heart the result of Gettys?
burg might have been different. We
have thus endeavored to show that the
American soldier and Christian gen?
tleman, whose birthday we this day
commemorate, was as pure a mao and
as noble a character as history portrays.
We now propose to show what others
thought of our knight The moroing
Chronicle, of Halifax Nova Scotia, in
October 14, 1870, contained a most
beautiful tribute to Gen. Lee, from
which we extract the following : ''Ah,
Sir Lauocelot," he said, "thou art head
of all Christian knights." "And now,
I ''are say," said Sir Ector, "thcu, Sir
Lauocelot, there thou liest, that thou
wert never matched of earthly knight's
hand, and thou wert the courtliest
knight that ever bore shield, and thou
wert the kindliest man that ever stroke
with sword, and thou wert the goodliest
person that ever came among press of
knights, and thou wert the meekest
man, the gentlest, that ever ate in hail
with ladies, and thou wert the sternest
knight to mortal foe that, ever put spear
in rest." (The Mort D'Arthur of Sir
Tomas Mallory:) "With reverence
and regret, (continued the Morning
Chronicle,) "wc repeat. Sir Ector's
words for the great Sir Liuncelot, and
apply them to thc man whe died yes?
terday-the noblest knight of our gen?
eration, in the life of Robert. Edward
Lee there was no reproach of man or
womao. His decdrt were dimmed by
co wrong dune or duty unfulfilled.
There was t:o stain upon his honor, no
unrighteous blood upon his hands. He
was indeed a good knight, noble of
heart and strong of purpose, and both
a soldier and a gentleman The age
that knew bim-if nor the agc of
chivalry - will vet he remarkable for
having produced in bim a mao as chiv?
alric as any that lives in history. Only
nine years ago he was colonel of cavalry
in the Coi ted States army, and yester?
day hj? died, the greatest soidier in the
Napier, McMahon and Von Moltke. and
that America has also Sheridan, Sher?
man and Longstreet, but all these men
and their fellow soldiers lack the
grandeur which was inherent io Lee.
In every particular be possessed tbe
requisites of a true soldier ; be was
brave; his whole military record and
his Iifeloog scoro of danger alike bear
testimony to bia bravery."

A Remarkable Criminal.
NEW ORLEANS LA, Jan. 19 -John
Johnson, the Legro who butchered the
Colton family of five persons nearTick
faw, Tangipahoa Parish, in September
last, and who has ever since been con?
fined in the parish prison in this city,
was taken to Amite City this morning
to stand bis trial.
Johnson is ooe of the most remarka?
ble prisoners who was ever confined in
the parish prison. He speaks of his
crime as if it was an every-day occur?
rence, and, while he does oot realize
the enormity of bis offence, he knows
that be will be unceremoniously
hanged for what be bas done.
He is a fair type of the country
negro. He is 18 years of age, of a low
order of intelligence,and and very black.
It bas been expected that ha would be
lynched the moment be was taken to
Tangipahoa Parish. A special from
Amite City to the Daily States says :
John Johnson, io charge of a deputy
sheriff, arrived here safe and well on
the 9.10 a. m. train. There was no
demonstration on the trip here, though
at several stations crowds were waiting
to see him. A large crowd awaited
him here. Fie was rushed off to the
court house, where be was arraigned.
Three lawyeas were appointed to defend
him He pleaded not guilty to the five
indictments for murder. The case wa3
assigned for Friday. He will remain
here until tried. He implicates a white

Commendation of Gov.
Ellerbe. .
Gen. M. C. Butler Considers
, Him Honest and Patriotic
and Predicts Peace
and Prosperity.
To the State.
WASHINGTON, D. C , Jan. 20.-I
cannot resist the impulse to say a
word of commendation of the inau?
gural address of Governor EMerbe.
It is most excelent in style and the
tone and temper and matter of it is
above criticism.
Of course I do not agree with him
in his endorsement of the dispensary.
That institution is, in my opinion,
radically and fundamentally wrong in
principle, and indefensible in prac?
tice, but Governor Ellerbe discusses
it with the fairness and frankness of
patriotic conviction and therefore
will command the respect and confi?
dence of those who do not agree
with him
The address of Governor Ellerbe
is in most refreshing contrast with the
screeds that have been fulminated by
his immediate predecessors, and the
good people of the State are certainly
to be congratulated on the improve?
ment in their chief executive officer,
and the harbinger of a decent, digni?
fied administration, which the recent .
inauguration promises. M
He ought to have the cordial suoH
port of all good citizens, and I trus^
will receive it. Taxation has been
increased without, as it seems to me,
compensative benefits commensurate
with the increase. Public offices
have been multiplied beyond the
number needful for good administra?
tion, and sources of revenue have
been recklessly impaired that might
have been fostered and secured, but
we have assurances now that the
State government will address itself,
patriotically, to bringing about hon?
est reforms where evils are discov?
ered, instead of fomenting discord
and inviting antagonisms among the
people.
I predict for Governor, Eilerbe a
prosperous, peaceful, honest admin?
istration, for I know him to be a
straight forward, honest and capable
man.
