Charlotte Temple,

Among the countless throngs who daily
pass and repass Trinity Church, how many
know that within few feet of the crowd
ed thoroughfare of Broadway is a grave
which covers all that remains of a once
beautiful and fascinating woman, the recss
ord of whose sorrows has dimmed the eyes
of thousands. No date of birth, no lndl-
cation of family and no date of death ap-
pear on the stone that covers the grave OF
Charlotte Temple, whose tragic story, once
the theme of every circle, is probably un-
known to the greater number OF young
readers. The most beautiful girl IN New
York-so il is claimed-she attracted the
attention of young officer, member OF
one Of England's Oldest and proudest fam
lilies, who with his regiment entered the city
when the British occupied New York after
the battle of Long Island. Charlotte, then
only seventeen, was woed and won by the
dashing young officer. He deserted her, and
then-the old story-she soon after died of
a broken heart. A little daughter whom she
left was tenderly cared for, at a proper age
wa1 taken to England, and fortune OF one
hundred Thousand dollars settled upon ber
| by the head of her fathers family, the late
Earl of Derby, grandfather of the present
Lord Stanly. She, like O true daughter
and q true woman, returned to New York.
and erected the monument that now marks
the mothers grave. The inscription upon
it was engraved on a solid tablet of brass
an inch in thickness, heavily plated with
silver, apd thus it read: "Sacred to
the memory of Charlotte Stanley, aged
nineteen years" This filial duty per-
formed, she returned to England and
lived life of unobtrusive piety and use
fulness. The plate placed upon the stone
hot kr 40
of solid silver, and tempted the cupidity of
certain vandals, who, with hammer and
ehisels, succeeded in prying from the slab.
They were never detected. Many years
afterwards, some good Samaritan caused
the simple name of Charlotte Temple to
be cut underneath the excavation

only great exploit of the five days cam
Dalgn-the successful storIhing of the
heights of Fredericksburg The military
student who impartially examines the de-
tails of this battle must, [ think, iuevita-
bly, cCme to these conclusions.
That in thus abandoning all offensive
movements at the onsrt and standing on
the defensive, tue commanding General
gave up all the advantage of his 3-Olc as the
attacking party, and damped the ardor of
the trOO ops, who truly imagined themselves
In the prosecution Of an aggressive cam
paign.
That the complete and inglorious mac
ton of two whole days-Sunday the Sd
and Monday the 4th-during which our
army, in position which could not have
been carried. lay covered by entrench-
nlents, with both hanks resting On the
Rapphannock, forming an arc, of which
the river was the chord, and listened to
the sound Of the guns in an action between
Lee and Sedgwick, and guarded as it was
by greatly inferior force, until that &C
ton should be successfully gained by its
opponents. was the final cause Of its dc
feat, and not SedgWick's failure to form a
junction, which was impossible.
That the plan, strategy, and field tactics
Of the campaign were well conceived and
inimitably executed by the commanding
General up to the period OF the occupa-
ton of Charlottesville on Thursday, april
2, aud OF a field of battle some miles near
er Fredericksburg and his left wing (Sedg-
wick in open ground, where our superb
orlty of numbers, equipment, and artil-
lery, could not have failed to have given
rs the victory.
That the voluntary and incomprehensi-
ble REIMBURSEMENT Of this fine position, in
spite Of the lemOnstrances of Generals
Couch, Warren, and others, was the first
mistake Of the Federal General, which in
evitably begot succession of blunders,
us is usual IN war, leading ultimately to
the discOm6ture Of our arms.
Precisely at the moment that Hooker
had apparently lost all stomach for often
siye operations, We find Lee, recovering
from his first surprise at finding his pow
crful enemy right on his flank and endan-
gering his communications, assuming the
offensive and Inaugurating series of
daring maneuvres which more than equal
led the disparity of his numbers, and re-
suited in victory at last.
[ cannot presume to ask for space here
to give even IL summary OF these grand
tactics, during the execution of which Lee
more than once exposed his army to de-
struction, but which desperate risks he
was forced to take, apparently divining
that his opponent would remain impassive.
and their study involves q great lesson in
the art Of war
If have succeeded in throwing any
light upon that most important episode of
the war-the death of Jackson-by my
communication, [ shall be happy to sub
scribe myself
Very respectfully,
JOSEPH w. REVERE,
ex-Brigadier General.
