WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY.
Col Leo was at once invited to take COM
mand Of the Confederate forces of his state.
On April %, a few days after the first gun was
fred on Fort Sumter, he left the home he was
never to see again, and went to Richmond.
The governor at once nominated him as ma
jor general, with command Of the forces al
ready organized in Virginia The state con-
ventton unanimously confirmed the nomina-
tion. Gen. Lee was presented to the conven-
tion on April %, by the chairman Of the mill
tary committe, and was received with ex-
travagant enthusiasm.
he at once organized the state forces and
put things in defensive attitude. Thirty
These Lee organized and distributed. He
worked incessantly, carefully examining into
the minutest details, and, it is said, "made the
reputation Of a skillful organizer Of armies
before hs commenced the career of active
commander in the field" In July of the
same year the Confederate congress made
Gen. Lee full general in the Confederate
service, ranking next to Gen. Albert Sidney
Johnston, tho list being Cooper, A. s. John
ston, Lee, Joseph E. Johnston and Beaure-
gard. A month later be took command of
the forces in western Virginia, difficult and
disagreeable field Of service. He said: u am
ready to take any position tho country assigns
me, and do the best can" One Of his
itgraphas says Of him: This was the
secret Of his successes; he always did his
best, thinking nothing which he undertook
too small to be done faithfully" And his
wife said Of him that attention to small mat
ters was pre-eninently his characteristic.
Despite his earnest efforts to carry out his
plans this campaign Of Lees was a failure,
and he returned to Richmond in November.
weighted with defeat and unappreciated and
even condemned by the people he served. He
bore all unfavorable criticism in silence. He
was then put In charge Of the coast defenses
Of Georgia and South Carolina, superintend-
ing the construction Of Notifications. His
work in that field made him new popularity
and esteem. But he was recalled to Rich
mond in March, 1867, with the new appoint
ment Of commanding general, to take n
charge the entire military preparations Of
the Confsderacy, position he only retained q
few months, leaving it for still moro active
field. To him are largely due the fortifica-
tions which made the Siege of Richmond so
long and 20 desperate.
In all his military movements he was very
reserved. he practiced tho maxim Of his
great lieutenant, "Mystery is the secret Of
success"
