notice in yolr paper OF the l1th instant
that mention is made by your Petersburg
correspondent OF papers read before tue
A. p. Hill Camp Of Confederate Veterans
Claiming that the Texas brigade was the
body OF troops that General Lee was
stopped from leading into the charge.
Mere there two such incidents where be
was ordered 10 the rear by his menl
j. p. ~
Yes. there were two such incidents. The
first occurred on the 9Th Of May, 1864. in
the battle Of the Wilderness. and on that
occasion General Lee rode up to the head
or front of the Texas brigade, then COM
handed bv General Gregg. and offered TO
lead them In charge, when the gallant SOL
diers declined to follow or go forward
until General Lee retired. The private
soldier who seized the reins of General
Lees bride to hold him back Is still
living.
The other incident Of similar character
occurred few days later at Spotsylyanis
Courthouse, on the 10th of May, 1864, when
our lines were broken and terrible dis
aster seemed imminent. As Early's old
division, then commanded by General
Gordon. was being rapidly reformed to re-
capture the works. General Lee rode to
the front and took his position just IN ad-
vance of the colors Of the Forty ninth Viz
GINA Regiment. He uttered not word.
- Hequietly took of his hat.
1t was evident TO all that he meant to lead
the charge. and murmur of dlsapproba-
ton ran down the line. Just then the
gallant Gordon spuued to MS side, seized
the reins of his horse, and exclaimed, with
deep anxiety: General Lee. this is no
place for you Do 60 to the rear! These
are Virginlans and GeorRians. sir-men
who have never failed, and they will not
fail now. VIII you, boys? Is it necessary
for General Lee TO lead this charger" Loud
cries of mo! MOI General Lee TO the rear
General Lee 10 the rear! We will
drive them back if General Lee will only
90 to the rearl" (See DR.. Jones's book OF
remniscences)
Two soldiers then led General Lees
horse TO the rear Gordon put himself at
the head of the division, and in the charge
that followed they drove back five times
their own number and recaptured the worH
and re-established the Confederate line.

originally from the Latin Qgensd. A SINH

The Century Dictionary says in substance
that the custom in England is the reason.
Defence, that dictionary says. is rather

fFor the Dispatch

For the Dispatch-
And who Is Miss Nancy'
mere passing fancy
A present perfection, q love OF to-day.
Tomorrow, grown older,
My passion grown colder;
And crumbled TO dust Is my goddess Of clay
And yet. In fashion,
So strong Is this passion,
sufier slow torture-0h, exquisite pain
Still, somehow fancy.
Twill be. my dear Nancy,
Tomorrow a igment OF yesterdays brain.
