WAR ST
Gen. [Robert E. Lee, C
the Confede
The 'ollowing is the first section of
a speech recently delivered before the
New York Southern Sooiety by Dr.
John A. Wyatt. Nert week we will
publish tho second section of this
speech. Both sections should be road
io every Behool in the country.
The South may claim with pardon
able pride that it furnished not only
the president of each of the divided
sections in the struggle for the estab
lishment of a separate Confederacy,
but the great central figure of the
Civil war for the North as well as for
the South. History will accord that
Abraham Lincoln was the one conspic
uous figuro on the side of tho Union,
ss for the South none will challenge
that claim for Lee. They were, more
over, representatives of the widely
divergent classes of our seotion, the
plebeian and the patrician. The story
of Lincoln might well be classed with
"Tho short and simple annals of the
poor,"
while Lee came straight from tho
oavaliers and their descendants, the
wealthy, cultured aristocracy of Vir
ginia.
His father, Richard Henry Lee,
better known as "Light Horse Har
ry," the be?u sabreurof the American
army, was a oonspiououB figure in tho
first continental congress. It was he
who. on June 7, 1776, moved the reso
lution ' ?hat these united colonies
are, and of right ought to bo, free and
independent States; that they are ab
solved from all allegiance to the Brit
ish crown, and that all political con?
neotion between them and the States
of Great Britain is, and ought to be,
totally dissolved."
He and his brother were signers of
the Declaration of Independence, and
it was this same Lee who proclaimed
George Washington as the "first in
war, first in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen."
Upon his mother's side he olaimed
the lineage of the Carters of Shirley.
I Burn ?u January ia, lS07, his child
hood and youth were passed in the
cultivated oiroles of the tidewater re
gion of Virginia. At the age of 18 he
entered West Point and completing
the course of study without a Bingle
mark of demerit he graduated seoond
in a olass of 46. For several years he
served in the engineer corps oon
struoting coast defenses, and for a
part of this time in charge of the as?
trononiical department of tho govern
ment. Io 1832 he married tba daugh
ter of George W. Parke Curtis, the
adapted son of Gen. Washington, nud
later waa made captain on ibo stiff in
the M o ?ioau war.
Of, all the brilliant reputations
among tho younger group of officers
which wer? won in that campaign
Lea's was tba most conspicuous. Upon
him the commander la ebie? leaned.
HS upon, no other. At Corio Gordo
he wai breveted major for oseeptionel
gallantry. At Contreras and Chora
butoo he waa officially proclaimed fer
meritorious conduct, end on account
of a wound received io the assault on
Ofaap?Uepsot Septepbcr 33, 184?, he
received hie promotion to lieutenant
ootonel. It waa. here at Contreras,
When tho army was baffled, that the
quick eye of Loo d ? BOO vero d, by a dar
ing reconnaissance, a line of approach
bidden from the enemy by which th*
position might be taken. This the
commander-in-chief of tho army char
aeterieed, at ; "tho greatest feat of
physical and moral courogo performed
by any individual during the eaiire
campaign." .
Io bia official report Gen. Scott
said: "I am compelled to make epsoSal
mention of Capt? B. E. Lee, engineer,
ne greatly distinguished himself st
the siege of Vers Crus, was indsfati.
gable during these operations in re
connais san oes, ss daring se 1 Bborions,
and of tho .utmost value. Nor waa he

After the Mexican war he waa ap?

inc miiiiarj ??sd?iay ai Wost Point,
and ia 1855, lieutenant colonel of the
second cavalry, under Col. Albert Sid

?po? the sew
Scott, then commander-iac bief, Pres
idetd Lincoln offered Lee the coHir
wand of the anwies of the Unioal
'ommander-iri-Chief of
.rate Army.
Virginia had not yet seceded, bnt
Lee, lockes ioto the future and feel
ing assured that his native State
would upon any act of aggression
make common oause with the other
Southern States declined the tempting
offer.
Io a letter written April 20, 1861,
be made thst never to be forgotten I
declaration: "With all my devotiou j
to the Union and the feeling of loyal
ty and duty fts an Americas citizen, 11
havo not been able to make up my |
mind to raise my hand against my
relat'vea, my children, my home.
Sive in defence of my native State,
with the sincere hope that my poor
services may never be needed, I hope
I may never be called upon to draw
my sword."
When at length hostilities began
and Virginia took her place in the
Confederacy the people of the Old
Dominion with one voioe turned to
I bim as commander of her army theo:
I Forth from its scabbard, pure and
bright.
Flashed tbe sword of Leo'!
Far in the front of the deadly light,
iligh o'er the bravo in the cause of
Bight,
Its stainless sheen, like a beacon light,
Led on to Victory.
Out of ita scabbard! Never hand
Waved sword from stain as free,
Nor purer eword led braver band,
Nor braver bled for a brighter land,
Nor brighter land bad a cauco GO
grand,
Nor cause a chief like Lee!
o
The story of his military career is
practically the story of the army of
northern Virginia, and it reads more
like romance than history. Through
four years of the bloodiest war known
to history at that time that army,
composed of the flower of Southern
msnhood, under its matchless leader?
made a record of viotories sever sur
passed in the annals of warfare, a
record which we of tba South and our
children's ohildren to the remotest
ages should claim as our proudest
heritage.
He assumed command of this army
in June, 1862, when McClellan was
immediately in front of Richmond.
On Juno 26, with an army inferior in
numbers and equipment, he attacked
the forces of McClellan in their in
trenohment and for seven day s the
bloody conflict raged, until McClellan
took refuge under the protection of
his gunboats at Harrison's Landing.
This army defeated, Lee turned upon
a second larger than his own, march
ing upon Richmond from ? ono thor di
rection.
Ey one of tho moat brilliant and
daring movements in tho history, of
wars Lee with his able lieutenants
Jackson, routed Pope's army at Grovo
ton and Second .Menasses and drove
him fW safety under tho protection of
tho fortifications nt WochiogfcOB. Mc
Clellan had been removed for his de
feat sad Pope followed in his train.
Disregarding both of thom defeated
armies, Lea moved rapidly into Mary
land, captured Harper a Ferry and ita
large garrison, oa tho way and fought
at Antietam on September 17,?..;?8flB?
the bloodiest battleof theCivil wari
McClellan, who after Pope's defeat
had . been,;reinstated it> commsad, waa
again removed for failing to inflict a
crushing defeat upon Lee? and Burn
side wau made ooraia*nder-in-ofciei of
the army of the Potomac;
gi In December of that yea? Ons carno
army of Lee signally defeated the
army of Bnrnaido st Frederleksburg.

A few days after this a?nour?(fettent

oat ?B>e^rt?ptton to Virginia*
It was in lBfVl, in tbe cai?p*?go
fr^in the ^il^tbess to Petersburg,
that tW-it?tvvof;'?ieeVreseh?^K|
aenith. Under bia leadership the
av my of northern Virginia up tc i$e
Ho was DOW to ?how that io defen^
sive fightiug be was a greater master
of the ?rt of ?rar theo in his offensive
operations. Grant, with the largest
army ever marshaled opon thia conti
nent ander a single commander, with
unlimited resources of men and money,
with the world to draw upoo for all
that was most useful ia destructive
warfare, advaoced upon this army of
Lee's wanting in everything but val
or, and ao decimated that as Grant
expressed it ''it had robbed the oradlo
and the grave" to fill the gap? be
tween the veterans that still survived.
There followed from May 5, 1864, in
the Wilderness, at Spottsylvauia court
house, at Cold Harbor and the North j
Anna a series of conflicts so fright
ful in their havoc that the history of
this campaign might well be written
in blood.
The most recent, and in my opin
ion the most reliable, history ef the
United Stales, written by James Fo?d
Rhodes, of Boston, a conscientious
student, a capable analyst and juBt re
corder, says: "Grant's loss from May
4, to June 12 in the oampaign from
the Rapiden to the James was 54,029,
a number nearly equal to Lee's whole
army at the commencement of the
Union advances. The confidence in
Grant of . many officers and men had
been ahaken."
At Spottsylvania Nicolay and Hay,
authors of the "Life of Lincoln,"
say "Grant was completely check
mated."
That this is true is evident from
the faot that turning aside from the
dir cot route to Richmond, with Lee's
army in front of him, whioh army ho
announced in the beginning of the
oampaign as his objective, he march
ed toward the James river, whioh he
crossed in the effort to capture Peters
burg by surprise.
The army of Lee was, however, at
Petersburg in time, and there held
Grant at bay for.nine months of the
summer and winter of '64 and '65.
As far as the Confederates were
oonoerced, the annals of the siege of
Petersburg might woll be termed the
annals of starvation, exposure and
misery. Trae to its colors the army
of Lee was starving to death. The
commissary general reported that
"the army of northern s Virginia was
living literally from hand to mouth?'
Beef sold for $6 por pound and floor
at $1,000 a barrel. At one time,
pleading with his government for food,
Lee said that for three days his mea
had been in line of battle and bad not
tasted meat. .
In the early s pring of 1865, af tel
nine months i of persistent effort]
Grant with 113.000 men well ?edy clad
and armed, broke through the linea: de?
fended by Lee's force c? 4r .000 veter
ans, half-starved, ragged and most ol
them shoeless.
Then came the end at Appomattox,
when on April 9; 1865, the .remnant
of this ones magnificent army,; noll
numbering less, than 28,000Xof whicl
only 1.6,000 were carrying anns) sur
readored, and thc Confederacy was nc
more.

wee, Charles Sumner" eat? in bis ptaoa
have already characterized the propo- 1
cition and (be traitor it seeks to oom"
mem?rate. I aua not disposed to speak
of Geo. Lee. It is enough to say
that he stands high in the cata
logue of those who have imbued theii
hands tu their country's blood. I
hand him over to the avenging pen of
history."
As man and soldier "the avenging
j pen of history" has already written
this of Lee. In nobility of character,
in moral grandeur, atteste! by Mo hu
manity, he lived "the moue! for al!
future times." In the annals of war
his placo is with the greatest.
Tho second section, which we will
publish next week, will show where j
"the avenging pen of history" has
piaoed the immortal leader of the
Confederate armies, whose name will
shine in the pages of history long
nf ?cr ?ba fanatic Sumner bas been for

They bordered Cottiogham.
Editor D. M. Barrentine, of the
Chesterfield Advertiser, relates the
following interesting war experience
in his newspaper: j
Gen. S. D. Atkins, editor of the j
Freeport Journal, a mighty good j
paper, published at Freeport, 111.,- j
says: "Geo. Joseph E. Wheeler was
commander of cavslry in the Confed
erate army. On November 17,1864,
the editor of this paper commanded a
brigade of cavalry in Kilpatrick5o di
vision, and at Lovejoy's Station, Ga.,
met Wheeler's cavalry and captured a
large number of prisoners. They
were disarmed, but were permitted to
ride their horses, that were captured
with them, guarded by men armed
with Spencer repeating rifles io front
and rear and along the flanks of the
Confederate prisoners. One - little
Confederate, splendidly mounted, sud
denly dashed into the woods and
made his escape. The guards oould
not follow him. After he had gone
long tfnough for them to be, sure j he
would not be recaptured, the Confed
erate prisoners sot up the: loudest
yells and hurrahs, for they said that
the escaping prisoner was. Gen, Jos-,
eph E. Wheeler. We* lave never
been sure that Gen.. Wheeler-wai
among the Confederates captured at
Lovejoy's Station on Ncireaber 1?,
1864, for. had we known that we had
taken bim prisoner he would not have
so easily gotten away from us, put we
suppose from what the Confederate
prisoners said that Gen. Wheeler,wea
among those Confederate ' prisoners
captured by our brigade in the man
ner above related,*' ^
The above is of peculiar interest to
us because one, at least, of Kilpat

A Striking Facti
A young mau was riding in tho cab
with a locomotive engineer.
"Non", said the young man, shad
dering, "suppos? a stage load of chil
dren were to glide on to the track from
that lane--what a blessing it would be
if you could stop short, instantly Uko
a man wat stag."
"Blessing?" said the engineer.
"Why, young fellow, if that stage you
speak of were to appear now and I
could atop short like a mau walking, I
wouldn't do it.' Instead, I'd keep
right on and kill the kids." \
"Why?"
"Because it would be the more hu
mane course. In one case there would
bo a L age load of kids slaughtered; in
the other case there would be the
slaughter of a trainload of people.
This train is going at the rate of forty
five miles an hour, and thc sudden
stoppage Of a train going at that rata
would give the passengers precisely
the esme chook that they would get
