Lnwley, brother Of Lord Wenlock.
Mr.. Lawley was going TO the Con
lederacy with a commission from the
London "Times" to act ns iis corre-
spondcnt. When the two English.
men reached Richmond they were re.
ceiyed with open arms oy the people
there. They bad many social atlen.
tions, and the Confederate Govern.
ment, through its Secretary Of War,
Mr.. Randolph, gave them carte blanche
to go wherever they pleased. Alter
inspecting the fortifcations of Rich.
mond and Petersburg they started by
tho Virginia Central Railroad to
visit the headquarters of General
Lee, which were then about six miles
from Winchester. During their
journey WolseIey had a good OPP
porlunity to observe the discipline OF
the Southern army and the character
Of its material. lie was greatly
pleased with the effect OF the order
prohibiting the serving of rations of
spirits to the soldiers. He has new
er been believer in the theory that
spirits administered in small quanti-
ties enables the men to bear fatigue,
and in the Ashantee war he acted on
the hint that he received in the Con-
federacy, and forbade the use of
liquor in the army. He also noticed
with some interest the superstitious
DREAD OF GUyBoATs
which possessed the Southern sol
diers. These vessels of war, even
when they had been comparatively
harmless, had several times been tn e
means Of saving Northern armies.
Woolseley said y "With soldiers late
ly raised, who possess no traditions Of
how their regiment in such and such
former wars slnrmed batteries, il will
be found that over weening confidence
is placed in artillery fire, and undue
dread felt OF its effects. As a rule
lone but highly Disciplined troops,
without guns, will attack those sup
piled BY them, aud very heavy ar,il>
lery fire brought to bear on raw sol-
diers, although fiom the nature OF
the ground they will not suffer much
from it, will disconcert them terribly.
| believe that round shot frighlens
far more than it kills."
THE GENERAL.IN- CHIEF.
Colonel Wolseley and his compan>
ion were received by General Lee
with that kindness and stately cour-
tesy for which lie was so noted.
Wolseley speaks with the utmost en-.
thu siasm of the Southern commsnder.
He described him as person who,
wherever seen, whether in a castle or
howell, alone or in q crowd, would at
once attract attention as a splendid
specimen OF an English gentleman,
with cne of the most rarely han6some
faces ever seen. The General was
living in a tent like the rest Of the
men, though there was comfortable
house near by. But he so scru.
pulously respected the rights Of pri>
vate property that he would not con
sent to take possession Of it. He led
the two Englishmen to o seat hard
by, under large tree, and there con.
