General Wade Hampton's statement in a
recent speech as to General Lees feelings
when he surrendered at Appomatox Court
house is fully corroborated by General
Gordon, of Georgia, who said q few days
ago:
''Can ever forget ? No, never can I
forget the words which fell from his lips as
rode beside him amidst the defeated, de-
jected, and weeping soldiery, when, turn
ing to me, he said i could wish that I
was numbered among the fallen in the last
battle. -
General Gordon also said, amongst
many other things for which we have not
room
cit has been my fortune in life to have
come in contact with some whom the world
pronounced great-some of the earth's
celebrated and distinguished-but de-
clare it here to-day that of all mortal men
whom it has ever been my privilege to ap-
proach, he was the greatest and I assert
here that, grand as might be your concep-
tons of the man before, he arose in incom-
parable majesty on more familiar acquaint-
ance. This can be affirmed Of few men
who have ever lived or died, and Of no
other man whom it has ever been my for
tune to approach"
