Gen. Malone has made campaign document
Of letter written by Major Horace Lacy, to
the effect that Gen. Il. Z. Lee had spoken TO
Gen. Hampton Of Gen. Malone as the COM
mander-in-chief Of the confederate army in
case anything should befall him, Lee In the
annexed letter to the editor Of the Alexandria
Gazette Gen. Hampton settles this question eff
fectually, SO far at least as he is concerned: ~
have just seen for the first time letter from
Major Horace Lacy, in which he states that
Gen. Lee had spoken to me in the highest
terms of Gen. Malone. am greatly surprised
at this statement Of Major Lacy because some
time ago, year or more. perhaps, he asked
me II had any recollection OF such q CONVEX
sation with Gen. Lee, and replied emphatic
ally that had not. Gen. Lee never said any,
thing OF the sort to me on the occasion referred
70 or at any other time, nor do believe that
he ever entertained the opinion attributed to
him. Gen. Lee may have made Major Lacy his
confidaat, but he certainly did not do me that
honor.
