The Elitnr of The News aod Courier received the following letter from Wade Hampton yesterday : My Dear Sir : Io The News and Courier of Nov 10 is so appreciative tribute to Geo Leo by Mr Haookei, which I have road with interest and pleasure, but the writer has fallen into an error wbioh I am able to oorreot oo the authority of Gen Lee himself. Mr Haookel intimates that Gco Lee felt i 3mbarrasscd in determining the curse he would take wheo the War Between the States took plaoo, but in this be is mistaken. .He did not hesitate for a moment, and, while, like many of us who followed him.ho doubtless regretted tbe war, aod doubted the wisdom of it, be felt that bie duty demanded that be should give his service to bis native State, aod he never for ooe moment regretted that be bad followed tbe dictates of duty, lie oooe said that' Doty was tbe sublimest word in oo lsngosge, aod if there ever was a man whose every action was prompted by a sense of duty he surely was that man. Some time after tbe close of the war, 'I had tbe pleasure of spending several days with tbe general at his borne, in Lexington, and onoe while discussing tbe war he said': "I did only what my duty demanded. I oould have taken oo other course without dishonor, aod if it was ail to do over I should act preoisdly as I did." It was bis ioteotioo to write a bis tory of tbe war, but uofortaoately for tbe Sooth, aod for the truth of history, death out short bis work. But he bed oommeooed tbe work, io wbiob be began by speaking of tbe differeooee of opinioo as to the troe construction of the Constitution, aod bow those oppos iog views were sbowo io ths Coovso tioo of 1787, aod be then went oo to say i "That those diftereooes in 1861 oulmioated in blood, but not in trea sou/1 If there was any "treason1' pertaining to tbe war it surely was not oo tbe part of Geo Lee or of tbe South. Wade Hamptot Columbia, S. C, November \ \ 1900 I There has been a good deal of die oossioo about tbe Hall of fame, wbiob it is proposed to establish at the Colum? bia University io New York, aod the "great" meo whose names have been selected for advertisement there do not represent the total output of our abouodiog oouotry.

Io our opioioo, Robert E Lee should oot have bsso iooluded in aoy doubtful oatalogoe of greatness Tbe malevoleoce with whteh be aod his ooodoot has been dieoaeed io tbe Northern papers, aod particularly io the New York Boo, makes Geo -Hamp? ton's statsmeot touching tbe motives which ooo trolled L?e'e aottoo vsty per-, tioeoi io ibe ?.e>eot uireuasloo No honest man doubts tbe booee'y of Robsrt E Lee. No sioosre man qots tioos ths high seose of duty by wbiob all his ooodoot was goverosd No patriotio man withholds his spproval of Leo's deoieioo as to where his alle gianoe was due to ths stroggls for Southern iodepeodsoee. "I did "only what my doty demaoded," hs ssid to Geo Hsmptoo ; "I oould bavs taken "oo other aoorss with dishonor ; aed "if it was all to do over, 1 "should aot preoisely ss I did,'' Thank God for that ! There eao be oo fortber doubt, even amoog tbe revilers of tbe Southern people, aod tbe trimmere, of where Lee etood io his relation to bis State aod people, aod to the immortal cause wbiob be represented ?News aod Courier.
