How did he compare with General Lee in
your estimation
Mr.. Stephens-Why, sir, the idea OF
| drawing a comparison between them, did
not occur to me. | should lust as soon
have thought of drawing a comparison be-
tween Louis Napoleon and Washington.
But in answer to your question, as to what
/ impression he made upon me, ! will say,
in the tlrst place, that | was never so much
disappointed in my life, in my previously
! formed opinions, of either the personal APP
/ pearance or bearings of any one, about
whom had read and heard so much. The
disappointment, moreover, was in every
respect favorable and agreeable. was in
stantly struck with the great simplicity
and perfect naturalness of his manners,
and the entire absence of. everything like
atfectation, show, or even the usual mill
tary mein of men in his position. He was
plainly attired, sitting in log cabin, bus
lily writing on 4 small table, by a kerosene
lamp. 1t was night when we arrived
There was nothing in his appearance or
surroundings which indicated his official
rank. There were neither guards nor aids
about him. Upon Colonel Babcock's rap
ping at his door, the response, Come in
was given by himself, in tone of voice,
and with cadence, which can never for
get.
His conversation was easy and fluent,
without the least effort or restraint. In
this, nothing was so closely noticed by me
as the point and terseness with which he
expressed whatever he said. He did not
seem either to court.or avoid conversation,
but whenever he did speak, what he said
was directly to the point, and covered the
whole matter in few words. saw be-
fore being with him long, that he was ex-
ceedingly quick in perception, and direct
in purpose, with vast deal more of brains
than tongue, as ready as that was at his
command"
