A CHRISTIAN SOLDIER The respects recently
rendered to Robert Lee by seven Christian
Commissioners might be somewhat modified by
knowledge Of the testimony offered before q
committee of tue War Department by the late
sIaves OF TINT Geacralissimo. They were form
erly held by Custis, who freed them at his death,
after which Lee insisted that they should work
Tor him five years to pay debt owed him by
Custis, his father-in law. The emancipated
slaves were mutinous anl several ran away
North, but were rotaken mud returned, and
whipped terribly by the oyerseer in the presence
ot Lee. This cultivated gentleman ordered the
clothes of the men md women to be cut off, on
their refusal to take them of to be logged, and
after the hogging ordered the gashes washed
with brine and rubbed down with corn husks
This is what several Of the freedmen and women
testify to, and what the General probably did
not tell the seven members Of the Christian
Commission, who called to pay their respects
