GORDON OF GEORGIA.
The Cheyalier Bayard of Lees
Army.

The Gazette is indeed pleased to
note in its columns that every de-
tail connected with the visit to La
fayette of the great Georgian was
attended to with splendid taste.
The genuine yet simple hospitality
Of our people was on this occasion
peculiarly noticeable. And we are
proud to learn that the General feel
ingly referred to this pre- eminent
feature of his reception here. The
tasteful and delicate decorations of
the stage by the patriotic members
of the Ladies Club was comm ented
upon most favorably by every one.
Among those who come to see and
hear Gen. Gordon were several
veterans who had admired him on
the battle field at Spottsylvania and
elsewhere. Conspicuous among
them was the MANNED ST. Julien,
who left a limb on the blood-stained
but ever-glorious soil of the Old
Dominion
Mr.. VIM. Clegg, who introduced
Gen. Gordon, has SO we'll expressed
the sentiments of the audience in
his we'll worded introductory re-
marks that we print them. A we'll
known author says that true elo-
quence consists of saying all that is
necessary, and nothing but what is
necessary. That is exactly what
Mr.. Clegg did. He spoke as fol-
lows:
Ladies and conference.-the the Ladies
Club of this place we are indebted for an
intellectual treat in store for this audience
this evening, such it has never before
been the good fortune of this community to
enjoy.
You will be entertained by one under the
sound of whose voice it is honor to sit.
One, who citizen, illustrates beautifully
by his life and character the perfect ideal of
Southern gentleman. One, who SOL
dier in time of war. leader without
fear and without reProach-Gen. Lees ia
vorite commander. A hero we love, proud
to honor and call countryman, whose
name will go down in history along with
Lees and Jackson's. As a Confederate
soldier he is a stranger nowhere in the South.
In no branch of the human family is the tie
strong that runs from heart to heart, as is
.the affection that binds one true old com
rade to another. Words fail me express,
and too poor is my vocabulary place be-
fore you as would wish, the name and
presence Of the idol of Southern veterans.

The following article originally
appeared in the Atlanta Constitu-
ton twenty years ago. We repro
duce it to show some of our people
the character of the man who lee
tured at Falk's hall last week on
"The Last Days of the Confed-
eEacy":
No soldier in American arms ever made
record that surpassed in audacity and success
the one worked out by Gordon. Recognized
from the FIRST as the very devil in fight,
thence always selected when possible to lead
forlorn hopes. He launched his
troops against point that he did not carry.
His military career started in this city. He
reached Atlanta in 1860 at tn. head of a
company known as the ssRaccoon Roughs."
