For the Spectator.

Messrs. Editors The Spectator of the 9Th
inst, contains an article from the Springfield
Mass Republican, headed Gen LEE S Col
lege." An article, by the way, well calculated
to produce good feeling between the North and
the South, and with it, what that great soldier
and statesman so much desired, when he gave
utterance to those memorable words-Let us
haze peace truth is mighty, and will pre-
vail, saying, ace belieue from one of the old
poets-Solomon, Shakespeare, Job, Burns or
Webster, mot DanieD but "old Baker"
Webster, We do not remember which, but, how
ever, that makes no difference, as they were all
great old poets, and wrote many smart things.
We are surprised that the correspondent of the
Springfield paper who wrote the article referred
to, did not tell more about the lawful doings"
of the Southern students at Gen. Lees Col
lege Certainly, gentleman holding the high
position that he held at Lexington, must, nee
essarily, from his associations there, have known
much more about the wicked conduct of Gen.
Lee and his young rebels! We have never
lived in Lexington, bat have often heard about
the College there, and can tell something more
about the terrible and awful wickedness Of the
students, than the modest Boston correspons
dent has given to the world. Trusting-as he
doubtless did-to the 'mightiness of the truth
we herewith give you what we have heard, and
moreover, like that amiable gentleman, We give
it without malice, for if we know ourselves, we
can say in all truthfulness that we harbor no
malice In our heart against the citizens of Lex
ington. Yet as the lover of truth, we must
tell what we have heard about Lee and his stu
dents However, before making our statement
we think it best to give the source from whence
our authority is derived. in order that the pub
lie may see how very reliable it is! Old Jim

LEwIsBURG, W. Va, December 90, 1868.
Mr.. EDITOR: In the brief biographical
sketch of myself, prepared by the Editor Of my
Prison Book, is the following sentence
He was actively engaged in the seven days
fight before Richmond, and at Mechanicsville,
led his regiment against strong Federal bat
terry, and carried it at t point of the bayonet
l commanded the Sixtieth Virginia Regi-
ment at Mechanicsville and Cold Harber-Col
Starke, afterwards slain at Sharpsburg, having,
on account of painful wound retired from
the battle field at Mechaaicsville, in the begin
ming of the action. The regiment, though it
did its duty at both places, did not storm and
carry Federal battery At Frazier's Farm,
however, on the 30th of June, it did ''calry a
strong Federal battery at the point of the bay
onet.' 1t not only did this, but it assaed
two infantry regiments supporting the battery,
and, after an obstinate and bloody struggle, in
which the bayonet was freely used on both
sides, routed and drove them from the field,
and bore off the prize of seven pieces of artil-
lery. Col. Starke, who had rejoined the com
mand on the day after the battle of Cold Har-
Dor, led the regiment in this charge-his wound
ed arm in slipg,
In consideration of the gallant services of the
regiment, Gent Lee houored it by the presenta-
ton of a battle flag, on which was inscribed
'Mechanicsville, "Cold Harbor," and Fra
tiers Farm, and the device of cross boyonets
This flag was subsequently borne through many
hotly con tested fights and finally fell into the
hands Of the enemy, at the sanguinary battle
of Winchester, September 10, 1864; but not
until Sergeant Kelly, of Company c, after US
ing its staff with effect, fell under the sabre
strokes of Sheridan cavalry.

imputation of quietly acquiescing in having

in Lexington one night just after corn planting
time; seeing bright fire burning on Colege
Hill, he succeeded in getting near enough by
keeping in the shade of the buildings and trees,
to see what was going on, and there he saw

dents-he doesn't know certainly whlch-ma-

The General, he represented, as an awful looking
fellow. He heard one student ask him how tall
he was, but did not exactly hear the reply

five inches; indeed, be feels sure it was one or
the other Several of the students, he noticed
were rather taller than the General, and one of
the largest and talest among them, he thinks,
said that he weighed 500 pounds, and that he
was the smallest of seventeen brothers. After
hearing this account of Lee and his rebels, we
are not surprised at the alarm among the ne
groes, bureau agents, and the other loyal citi
zens of Lexington. In fact, we are surprised
the negroes have not all, long since, been fright
ened out of the town, if not out Of their SEN
ses. Ii we were Gen. Grant. we would keep
Lexington out of the Union ten years longer

soon bring about rather more loyal state of
affairs in that miserable town.
