[ Last section of an address deliver- I
cd recently by Dr. John A. Wyatt be
fore the New York Southern Society
-A grand tribute to a grand man. J
What of thin charge of treason and
what kind of traitor was l.in. A dis
tinguished soldier and citizen of Mass
achusetts Charles Fraucis Adams,
reared in the New England school of
politics, himself throughout the war
io the army that confronted Lee, son
of that Charles Francis Adams who
as United States minister to England
during thc Civil war probably did as?
much as aoy other man to defeat tbe
cause of the Confederacy, grandson of
John Quincy Adams and great-grand
son of that elder Adams who succeed
ed Washington as president of the
United States, a man who so differed
from Lee in his interpretation of the
duty an American citizen OWOB SB be
tween his State and the central gov
ernment that he deolared he would go
against Massachusetts for the Union,
has written this for history:
"If Robert E. Lee waB a traitor, so
also and indisputably was George
Washington. Washington furnishes
a precedent at every point. A Vir
ginian, like Loo, ho was also a British
subject; he had fought under the Brit
ish flag, as Lee had fought under that
of the United States; when, in 1776,
Virginia seceded from the British em
pire he' went with his State, just as
Lee west 85 yearB later, subsequently
Washington commanded armies in the
Geld designated by those opposed to
them as "the rebels of '76," much as
Lee later commanded and at lsst sur
rendered muoh larger armies, also de
signated "rebels" by those they con
fronted. Ezoeptjin their outoome the
oases were therefore, precisely alike;
and logic is logic. It consequently
appears to follow that if Leo was a
trsitor Washington was also."
Ho further says:
"ID him thero ere exemplified those
lofty elemente of personal oharaoter
whiohj typifying Virginia at her high
eat, made Washington possible. Es
sentially a soldier, Bobert E. Lee was
a many sided man. I might speak of
him as a strategist, but of this aspect
of tho mad enough has perhaps been
said. I might dilate on his restraint
in victory; his patient end?ranos in
the faos of adverso fortune, the serene 1
dignity with wbioh he in the end tri
umphed over defeat. But, passing
over all these well worn' themes, I
shall confine myself to that one attri
bute of his which, reoognised in a sol
dier by an opponent,. 1 cannot but ie
gard aa his surest and b.ftifnt title to
enduring {ame. I r f*r o bia human
ity in arms and his scrupulous rejr.r?
for the "most advanced rules of Mod
ern warfare." .
Denying the contention ?bat war
must be made hell, holding np to exe
cration the authors of the bloodieat
di eds in history, thia generous foe and
great American said:
"I rejoice that no eu oh hatred at
taches to the name of Lee. Bookless
of life to attain the legitimate eade
of war, ho sought to mitigate ita hor
rors. Opposed to bim at Gettysburg,
I here, 40 yeara later, do him justice.
No wore creditable order ever issued
fi om a commanding general than that
formulated and signed at Chambers
barg by Robert E. Lee, aa U ward tbe
close cf June, 1863, be advanced on a
war of invasion. *No greater dis*
grace,1 he then deolared, 'can befall
the army, and through it our whole
people, than the perpetration of bar
barous outrages . upon the innocent
and defenceless. Snob proceedings
not only disgrace the perpetrators and
all connected wi tb them, but are sub
versivo of the disciplino and efficiency
of th? army, and destructif e of ?he
ends of oar movement./ It mess bc
remembered that wo make war only OB

In dwelling on this thorne, ia cou- j

"the avenging pen of history" quota t
from "Ohio io the War" by tbe Hon. \
Whitelaw Heed, at this time ambass- j
ador of the United States at tho Court \
of Sk James's, who ia speaking ??I "i

rate Army,
?lies that his soldiers might feast in
needless and riotous abundance. Be
fore his eyes rose, day after day, the
mournful clouds of smoke on every
side that told of old people and their
grandchildren driven, in midwinter,
from the only roofs there were to
shelter them, by the flames whioh the
wantonness of his soldiers had kin
dled. Yet if a single soldier was
punished for a singlo outrace or theft
during that entire movement wc have
found no mention of it in all the volu
minous records of the march."
May not this avenging pen of his
tory whioh Sumner invoked record
that order of Gen. Halleok. chief of
staff and military adviser to President
Lincoln, whioh said to Geo. Sherman,
"Should you oapture Charleston I !
hope that by eomo aooident the place
may be destroyed, and if a little salt
should be sown upon its site it may
prevent the growth of future orops of
nullification and secession," and 8her
man'a reply in his dispatch of Decem
ber 24,1864, "I will bear in mimi
your hint as to Charleston, and don't
think salt will be neoeseary. When
I move the Fifteenth Corps ?ill be on
the right of the right wing, and their
position will bring them, naturally into
Charleston first; and if you he\e
watohed the history of that corps yea
will have remarked that they general-]
ly do their work np pretty well. The
t/uth is the whole army is burning
with an insatiable desire lc wreck
vengeance upon South Carolina."
And may it not transcribe upon its
pages that other order to his efficient
Lieut. Hunter: "He (Grant) further
says that he wants your troops to
eat out Virginia clear and olean, as
far as they go, so that crows flying
over it for the balanoe of the season
will have to carry their provender
with them."
Of Leo as a general President
Roosevelt, in his life of Thomas H.
Benton, says:
"The world has never seen bet
ter."
In action Lee violated both of
the maxims of Napoleon-never to di
vide an array into two columns un
able to communicate, or attempt a
junction in tho prese noe of a oonoen-;
?_J_. 1_i. T_?-_
iii aveu v LIV w j j uui> Jjcc a nc vi MIS HI CU .
He violated the iast Beadon of this
maxim beoause ho knew Pope, and the
first beoause fes knew Jackson. It io
rare indeed that snob strategy suc
ceeds. Haslrubal divided from Hon
nibal by roany miles and a Consular
army, full baok' to the Meteros, ana
Rome was aaved. Two thousand
years later Prince Frederick Charles, |
divided by ? few marches and two j
Austrian army corps from the Crown j
Prince, lingered so long upon the .lier
that the supremacy of Prussia^ trem
bled in the balance? But tho charac
ter of the Virginian soldier was of a
loftier typo. It has been remarked
that af tar Jackson's death Lee never
again attempted those great turning
movements whioh had achieved his:
moat brilliant victories. Never again
did he divide his army to re uzi te it
on the field of battle. The reason ia
not far to seek. There was no general
in the Confederate army to whom he
dared confide the oharge of the de
tached wing, and in ppsscssing one
such general he had been moro for t?
nate than Napoleon.
It is noteworthy that Mol tko once,
at Koniggrats, carried ont the opera
tion referred to: Wellington, twice at
Victoria and Toulouse: Napoleon al
though ho several ; times attempted it
never, exoept at Ulm, with ooaiplato
saeeeas. .
In his "History of the American
War," Lieut.-Col, Fletcher, of Bog
lands says:
I ' 'The armies cf Graqt and Lee were
still in the vicinity of Spottaylvcnta
douri house. The former notwith
standing his ; nattr,' preponderating

surpassed iu number tho whole
strength of the enemy's force, Goa.
Grant had brought his army to a po
sition which McClellan bud reaohed
with far greater ease and far less ex
penditure of lifo two years provioue
ly. "
From the history of tho United
States by the distinguished writer,
Mr. James Ford Rhodes, of Boston, I
quote this concerning Lee:
"The Confederates hal an advan
tage in that Robert E. Loo espoused
their oauBe; to some extent apprecia
ted st the time this in reality ?vas an
advantage beyond computation. Had
he followed the example of Scott and
Thomas aod remained in service un
der the old flag io aotive command of
the army of the Potomac, how differ
ently might not events have turned
out.
"Lee, now 5? years old, his faoe ex
hibiting the ruddy glow of health,
was physically and morally a splen
did example of manhood. Able to
trace his lineage far baok into the
mother country, the best blood of Vir
ginia flowed in his veine. Drawing
from a knightly race all their virtues,
he had inherited none of their vioea.
Honest, sincere, simple, magnani
mous, forbearing, rehned, oourteous
yet dignified and proud, never Taoking
self-command, he was in all respects a
true man. Graduating from West
Point his life had been exclusively
that of a soldier, yet ho had none of
the soldier's bs-JL hebits. He used
neither liquor nor tobaooo and indul
ged rarely in a sooial glass of wine,
and oarod nothing for the pleasures of
the table. He was a -good engineer
and under Gen. Scott had won dis
tinction in Mexico. Tho work that
had fallen to his lot ho had performed
in a systematic manner and with con
scientious care. 'Duty is the subli
mest word in our language/ he wrote
to his BOO. Sincerely religions,
Providence to him was a verity, and
it may bo truly said he walked with
God.

of the North, he did not think these
evils great enough to resort to the
remedy of revolution and , to him se?

"Still, he wrote in January, 1871,
'a union that can only bo maintained
by swords and bayonets and iu whioh

Of this visit to Loo Gen. Wolseley ,
says: j
"As I waited outside of Gen. Lee's
tent while his aido-de camp entered
to tell him who I was and to deliver
him a letter from the Confederate
seorotary of war, I remarked it had tho
name of a ooloacl .of some New Jer
sey regiment printed upon it. Sub
sequently I referred to th 3 fact in my
conversation with him. He laughed
and said: 'You will find every tent,
gun, even our blankets, accoutrements
and all the military equipment wo
possess stamped with* the- United
States initials.' Every incident io
that visit is indelibly stamped on my j
memory. AU he said to me then and
during sub"equent conversations is
still fresh in my recollection. It is
natural it should be so, for he was the
ablest general and to mo seemed the
greatest man I ever conversed with*
and yet I have had tho privilege of
meeting Von Bioltke and Prince Bis
I mark. '?. . . .
"Gen. Lee wee ooo of the few men
?who ever seriously impressed and
j awed me with their inherent great
ness. Forty years have come and gone
since our meeting and yet the ma jests
of his manly bearing, the genial win
ning grace, the sweetness of his smth
and the impressive dignity of his ole
fashioned stylo of dross come back t<
nie among the most cherished o'' raj
recollections. His greatness made rn?
humble and I never felt my own in
significance more keenly than I did ii
his presence. He was then about 5
years of age, with hair and bear?
nearly white. Tell, extremely, hand
some and strongly built, very soldiei
like in bearing, he looked a thorougl
bred gentleman. Gare had, howevei
already wrinkled his brow and thei
oame et moments a look of sadaet
into bis olear, honest and speskiti
derk brown eyes that indicated ho
much bia overs helming nstioss? r
sponsibilitios had already told upc
him. He was indeed a, beautif

fully be written 'in righteousness d

ag across the river at the neg of his
ountry, waving over the dome of the
apitol and then resting on the soil
f his native Virginia we should be
??liing now to recognize in him one
f tba finest products of American
if e. For surely as the years go ou
re shall see that snob a life can be
adged by no partisan measure, and
ome to look opon him as the Eng
iah of our day regard Washington,
rhona littlemore than a century ago
bey delighted to call a rebel. Indeed
a all essential characteristics Lee re
enibled - Washington, and bad the
rest work of his life been crowned

finning side, the world would have
oknowledged that Virginia could in a
