NUMBER XIII.

I do not know what they would consider treason
against the you mean past acts
Mr.. Howard-Yes, sir
General Lee-I have no knowledge as to what
their views on that subject in the past are
Z. You understand my question Suppose
a jury was empanelled in your own neighbor-
hood, taken by lot, would it be practicable to
convict, for instance, Jefferson Davis, for having
levied war ON the United States, and thus hav-
ing committed the crime oftreason?
A. l think it would be very probable they
would not consider he had committed treason.
do not know whether jury would heed the
instructions OF the court to convict the offender.
Q. They do not generally suppose that it
was treason against the Government, do they?
A.. L do not think that they do so consider
it; So far as | know, they look upon the action
OF State in Withdrawing from the Government
as carrying the individuals in it along with it,
that the State was responsible for the act, and
not the individual. I am now referring to the
past.
Q. State, if you please, land if you are dis
inclined you need not answer the question: what
your own personal views on that question We're?
A. That was my view-that the act of Vir-
glnia in Withdrawing herself from the Union
carried me along as citizen of Virginia, and
that her laws and her acts were binding on me.
D.. And that you feel to be your justification
in taking the course you did?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. [ have been told, General, that you have
remarked to some of your friends in conversa-
ton, that you were rather wheedled or cheated
into that course by politicians?
A. | do not recollect ever making that re-
mark; | do not think | ever made it.
Z. If there be any other matter about which
you wish to speak, do so freely
A. Only in reference to that last question
you put to me [ may have said, and may have
believed, that the position of the two sections
which they held to each other were brought
about by the politicians of the country; that the
great masses of the people, if they understood
the real question, would have avoided it; but
not that had been individually wheedled by
the politicians. But did believe at the time
that 1t was an unnecessary condition of affairs,
and might have been avoided if fforbearance and
wisdom had been practiced On both sides.
General Lee then closed his evidence in stating
I'm reply to questions) that the people of the
South would not like the proposed constitution
al amendment; that he was not aware of any
cruelties to Federal prisoners at Belle Isle, tho
aware that they suffered many privations He
had no control or command whatever over the
prisoners depots, and did not know who COM
manded at Andersonville until he saw it in the
papers.

Your soul to yon bright home above,
Where mother, sister, brother, waits
70 welcome you with love.
Your mothers kindly beaming eyes,
Your brothers welcome smile,
Your sisters open arms and kiss,
Here would your weary way beguile.
But the earthly chain, how many links,
The grim death angel broke
The golden cord-affection's band,
Escaped not the angels stroke.
On Jordan's banks in robes so pure,
Your loved ones there arrayed,
In faith, and hope they We crossed the stream
And rest where joys ne er fade.
Besides Fathers smiling face -
And joys he here bestows,
He has prepared home above,
Where every blessing flows.
Thus when in thought you wander back,
And memory points beneath the sod,
Brush back the tear, and hush the sigh,
And humbly bear the afflicting rod.
