Raymond On Gen. Lee.

The Little Villain" OF the New York
Times is laboring TO achieve peculiar noto-
riety by defAmAtory attack upon the an
cestry and Character OF Gen. Lee. This is a
much more agreeable process to persons OF
kaymond's calibre than attacking Gen. Lee
With ball and bayonet. raymond Is evident
" Of opinion that the pen is mightier than
the sword. II Grant can't fight Ice out Of
Richmond, perhaps Raymond can write him
out. A prodigious whopper, shot out OF the
1snses's long-range cannon, at the safe dis
tance of New York, is the exact description
of weapon suited to the capabilities Of the
nimble heeled varlet, whose memorable
fight from Solferino made him the laughing
stock of the world. We don't know what
measures Gen. Lee proposes to take in vim
dic,tion of his honor. The specific charge
brought against our beloved Chieitain by
Raymond Is mendacity. He accuses Gen
Lee of falsehood In his bulletins. If Gen.
Lee has one virtue more predominant than
any other, ii is fruthluinees. But perhaps
Raymond. after oil, may design to be COM
piimentary. Lying in Yankeedom has been
elevated TO one OF the fine arts. To swear
they have been victorious when they have
been defeated Is an indispensable accom-
plishmeut Of Yankee General. We must
however, disclaim for the Confederate Gen

practical man, who is more willing TO lei
deeds speak for him than words, and whose
deeds will probably live in history several
