sword. Succees often gtlds the shallow man,
bat 1t is disaster that reveals the qualities Of
true greatness. His grandeur in misfortune,
the Eentlene5h, grace, dignity and nobility of
ms character. made him stand peerless in
that great struggle Of which, as a star, he
was the leader OF unciouded brightness.

several commanders that every uniformed
member Of the military Of Savannah win
lie IN his place in the ranks on that occasion,
thereby demonstrating by their numbers, as
well as their discipline, not only the real
strength and efficiency Of their commands,
but their appreciation of the character of Lee,
whose rare accomplishments az an American
citizen and whose name and fame are the
property of a now united country.
