no such man could ever have done such
thing before. He made q speech at

Lee has q history which is of interest to
the general reader.
He was born in Fulton. Oswego 90,
and graduated at Union College 10 1854
His father. Hon. NJ. Lindley Lee. was a
member ofthe Thirty Congress. and
has held many public positions in this
State. Young Lee went to Kansas at an
early day in its history. and became con-
spicuous from his devotion to the cause
OF Freedom. As an Editor. Judge. and
Soldier. be has made q manly name
The 6rst company of the first regiment in
Kansas was raised largely through his in
Auenee. Or the arst cavalry regimen,

Msjor. Those soldiers were known ss the
"Jsyhawkers"-a name afterwards sp
piled to the other soldiers and citizens ol
Kansas generally. from their earnestness
in fighting rebels and traitors wherever
they met them G. r. Jennison was the
Colonel. and D. r. Anthony. formerly
of this city, the Lieutenant Colonel OF
that regiment. When they left the SER
vice. Lee donned the eagle. and took his
rongh.riders through the lines of the en-
emy in Tennessee. Georgia. Alabama and
Mississippi. And wherever the Kansas
Jayhswkers went, rebels were whippel
and the shackles fell from the slave. The
rebel prisoners were brought into camp

In Grants fights before Vicksburg, Gen
Lee commanded Division. and in one
of the charges on the Big Black. a rife
shot went through his head. He soon
recovered. however. and was in the sad ale
sgain. Gen. Bsnkr made him Chief OF
Cavalry. and he commanded that arm ol
the service in the Red River Expedition
Gen. Lee has rem aimed in the service
until recently. He was present. a, cit
izen, at the riots in New Orleans. and hi,
speech describing those terrible scene. ha.
recently been very widely published.
From this brief sketch it will be seen
that Kansas will be entirely true to he,
