the war was the large number of our abiest
aud best generals who were killed IN Dat
tie or died from the effects Of wounds.
The DAYS Of the heroes OF classic times
or the chiyalrv OF modern Europe never
produced Drawer knights. more self-sacr-
hcing patriots. than that galaxy of soldiers
which sdorn the pages OF Confederate his
tory.
And then. as a rule. We fought against
overwhelming numbers and resources
and IL seemed especially necessary that our
generals should lead their men INTO tho
Sery thickest Of the fight. Besides. there
was sentiment among our ragged, bare
footed heroes Of tho rank and file that
their leaders should be at the front, and
woe betide the general Of whom they could
say. He loves TO send us 20 the front hut
be keeps well in the rear himself" or the
officers about whom they could pass the
grim Joke: There were not trees enough
there for tho officers 20 hide behind, ana

GENERALS At THE FOREFRONT.
II was no uncommon thing. therefore, TO
find our highest generals IN the very fore
front of the battle.
AZ First Manassas Generals Peauregard
and Johnston, ct tho crisis OF the pattis'
both led their mon. battle-hag IN mana:
Albert Sidney Johnston, whom President
Davis ALWAYS regarded Ms the abiest SOL
der OF the war, fell leading VICTORIOUS
CHARGE AZ shiloh, and In the execution OF
that brilliant strategy which had 80 lar
succeeded. and winch. had he been spared
an hour LONGER. would have resulted IN the
cnrture or humiliation OF Grants whole
army. -,
Stonewoll jackson was often seen on the
advance skirmisb line of tho army, was
aver found in the very thickest OF the
6obt. and when shot down bv his own mon

vanced pickcts "Jeb" Stuart fell when
leading a heroic charre against immense
odds which prevented Sheridan from
riding into Richmond that day and crown
ed n brilliant career with glorious death.

CORPS which had been cut OF from tho
main army.
TErL SWORD IL HAND.
Glorious old Pat Cleburne fell at Frank
lin leading one of the most superb charges
TINT the world ever saw.
But we must restrain our pen, for col
umns would not suffice even To mention
the names Of the Confederate generals who
were noted for conspicuous galantry and
nm even reckless exposure of their lives.
But we must not fail TO say that our grant
old chief, ". +. Lee. was the hrayest OF
the brnve" and that the worlds history
affords no grandcr battle pictures than

dent Davis told Of how he met General
90 nj the front during the Seven DAYS
battles. and while they were gently ending
each other for being out OF place gallant
little A. p. Hill" dashed mp and ordered
them both 10 the rear, but illustrates the
point that all Of our Confederate Leaders,
from our chivalric. heroic President down
to the subordinntes. were accustomed 10
sev 10 their men not go on !" but Come

Thus it came to pass that the list of our
dead generals was fearfully large, and that
