THE CONFEDERATE GENE
RAILS.
a Sad Record Of their Fortunes Since Apo
nattoX

II. W. Grady, in the Atlanta Constitution
New YORK, January 3.-What
strange, and in the main, what
a sad history is that of the Cen
erals who led the Confederate
armies in the late war. 1t is a
story Of poverty and deprivation,
lit up here and there by CLEAN
of good luck-but Of poverty
borne manfulIy, and of depriva-
tion met with the same courage
that led these men to the front of
heir legions.
The fate of the Rebel Briga-
dier' at the close of the war was
enough to depress the most buoy
ant among them. They had put
everything on the turn Of the
sword and had lost. Property,
business and all had been sacrificed
in the ardor OF war, and they were
left, in the fierce light Of fame,
without any resource-expected
to support a certain dignity and
nothing to support it on. There
was no standing army into which
they could be retired with ade-
quate salary. There was no hope
for them 10 the thousands of lu-
crative Offices that the Republi-
cans distributed among the Fed
eral Generals. Their States were
impoverished and were unable to
support civil establishments that
would furnish Offices out of which
anything could be hoped for. OF
course the privates Of the Confed-
crate army were deserving of all
sympathy; but it seems to me
that the Generals had somewhat
harder lines. At any rate | am
sure that there is no old soldier
that followed the Stars and Bars
that will not read with interest q
kindly inquiry into the history OF
these old leaders and their fam.
lilies.
l hardly know where to begin:
but suppose we take the living
Lees with which to open the hur
ried review. w. II. F. Lee, the
oldest son of Bobert E. Lee, is
living at present in Fairfax Coun'
| ty on q farm that belonged to the
estate of his aunt, Mrs. Fitzhugh
1t is fine place; the General is
an attentive and successful farmer
and he gets comfortable living
out of it. Custis Lee, the next
son, succeeded his father as Pres
ident of Washington Lee Univer
sity and lives in Lexington. He
is a bachelor, and his two sisters
live with him. He has fine expec
tations, Judge Hughes having de
cided that the Arlington estate
now used as a Federal cemetery
is his by right Of law. The case
has been appealed, but the judg
ment wiIl>hardly be roversed-an<
the place will be appraised an(
payment made for it. Rober
| Lee lives on the old Lee estate il
Westmoreland County, where he i
moving along smoothly, making
enough to supply his wants. Gen
Fitzhugh Lee has a farm on tn
Potomac, that belonged to hi
aunt, Mrs. Fitzhugb, and, it /
said, is showing considerable en-
terprise, though not amassin!
money. He has a -four mill,
think, in connection with hi
farm.

Thomas Jordan is editor Of tht
Mining Record, on Broadway-s
prosperous paper. Maj.-Gen. Lor-
ing, who served four years in the
Egyptian army, is now engineer
for mining company in New
Mexico, and is taking chances OF
a big fortune. Gen. Frank Arm
strong has made fortune by
running pony express in Texas
and Gen. A. W. Reynolds, who
went to Egypt with Loring, is still!
there, though out Of service. Gen
Tom Benton Smith lost his mind
and was, the last time | heard Of
him, in an insane asylum in Ten
nessee.
tits melancholy fact that near
ly every General who died or was
killed, died in poverty brought
about by his devotion. Raphael
and Paul Semmes both died poor,
Gen. Zollicofor left nothing to a
family of i've daughters, but they
have all married, save one, and
have married we'll. Gen. Pillow s
death caused the sale of his house
and library, which, however, his
friends rebought by subscription
Gen. T. G.. Hindman, who was as
sassinated, left nothing at al
Gen: Dick Taylor died poor, and
his two daughters are living with
bis sister at Warrenton. His book
did not pay. Gen. .'Stonewall' Jack
son left his wife and daughter
without means, but his name has
raised friends for them, one OF
whom, Mr.. Wade Bolton, of Mem
phis, | think, left them $4,000 in
his will. Gen. Polk left nothing g
to his family, but his son
Dr.. Polk, has an immense prac-
tice and distinguished character
in New York. Gen. Bushrod
Johnson left only one son, who
is doing we'll, and Gen. Forrest
who left but little, left it with
a thrifty and prosperous son,
who makes all that is needed.
Gen. Ewell's wife had about $780,
900 worth of property in St. Louis,
| think, which was saved from
confscation by a friend. Mrs.
Ewell died within three days of
her husband. Gen. Bragg died
without property, and his wife
lives with her sister in New
Orleans. The history of Gen.
Hoods children is part Of the his
tory of the country. Gen. D. H.
Cooper died in poverty. Maj
Gen. W. H. G. Whiting, of Fort
Fisher fame, who died in Will
mington prison in '64, left Moth
ing, and Gen. L. NJ. Walker, who
was killed in a duel with Marina
duke, left but little TO his wife,
who now lives in Charlottesville
Gen. Tom Cobb-oh, what a
cavalier was there! left to bis
family but. little Of the fortune
that his generous heart dispensed
so tifully in the piping times
of peace.
Truly it is a sad history! The
story of men who gave their lives
to their country, and left nothing
to their wives but a poverty that
made life a struggle. Braver SOL
diers never drew sword-purer
men never went to battle - whiter-
minded men never went to death.
Had the issue Of the conflict to
which they pledged their honor
and their lives been different, a
pleasanter record could have been
written. As it is, the love and
sympathy Of q whole people will
envelope their widows, their
sons, and their daughters, and
their names and their deeds shall
be part and parcel of the glory OF
the South.

For Mayor.

DALLAS, IEXkSi May 4, 1881.
To the Editor Of the Herald.
As the city council has ordered an cleo.
tion for mayor, it behooves the good people
to look about them for suitable man to
elect. No gentle man in this city will come
nearer ling the bill, in my opinion, than
Major John Henry Brown. Possessed of
rare common sense and practical judgment,
informed thoroughly on all subjects, full Of
energy, honest as the days are long and hon e.
orable in the highest sense of the word, a
gentleman without fear and without
reproach, he would make Dallas a
conservative, faithful, efficient mayor He
has filed many positions OF honor and trust
in Texas, from the state senate down, and
always with honor and credit to the state, to
his constituents and to himself, His integrity
is unimpesched and unimpeachable, and no
gentleman in the limits of our city is more
familiar with its history or knows better its
wants and necessities As mayor of Gal
weston he has the proud distinction of being
classed as the best mayor that city ever had.
In the name of the people nominate John
Henry Brown for mayor, and trust the DEM
ocratic convention will endorse it.

Washington. May 3.--The vice.president
laid before the senate unfinished business,
being the resolution for the election Of
officers Of the senate. Davis, of West Vir-
GINA then took the floor and delivered A
speech upon the debt question between
Virginia and West Virginia, promising his
remarks with An expression of regret that
speeches made by senators from Virginia and
Ohio, Malone and Sherm u, should have
compelled him TO discuss Ia this chambtr
what he considered 10 be purely local matter.
The debt question in West Virginia had
never been made political, and that republi.
can senators should not make statements
rejoicing upon the scti, ms of the democrat,
of that state on that question. Little OF
nothing had been done, looking 10 the adjust.
msnt Of the debt question between
Virginia and West Virginia until
1871. In the early part of tn,
year the legislature of West Virginia had
upon his motion agreed ~ q resolution for
the appointment of commissioners TO treat
on that subject. Those commissioners had
proceeded to Richmond, but had met no.
body with whom to treat; since then nothing
had been done to the best Of bis knowledge
officially with reference to the vexed debt
question. In 1871 Virginia had passed what
was known as tho funding bill, which had
arbitrarily set aside two thirds OF the debt to
the Old state ind one third
to the new state. The government
of Virginia bad uniformly since
passage of that act stated that they mad no
power to answer calls of West Virginia for a
settlement of the debt question. Tho COM
mlssioners appointed by the state of West
Virginia had reported the following facts,
that nine-tenths of the improvements for
which the debt bad been created had been
located within the state OF Virginia, that
Virginia had obtained Al 900 square miles.
West Virginia had but 10000. Then at tue
time Of separation Virginia contained pop.
ulstion of l,l22, 900, West Virginia Of 354,-
600, less than one.fourth. The taxable
property In Virginia had amounted to 49,.
100000, in West Virginia, but S647 900 less
than one.sixth. In view Of these
facts could it be commended that West
Virginia was responsible for enc third of the
debt. He said that the whole debt Of
Virginia Sas large Il was not very consider.
able less that twenty dollars per capita
The whole debt of the United States WAS
double that. He predicted that Virginia
with her prosperity could and would pay her
debt In future, but both Of the Virginias
would pay their debts, and he regretted very
much that the gentleman from Massachusetts,,
Dawes, should encourage party strife in an
old state that does not want TO pay her debt
After short discussion on the question of
the debt of Virginia, the senate adjourned
until tomorrow.
