By command of Gen. r. E. Lee,
r. II. Chiffon.
Assistant Adjutant General.
The Pennsylvania Yankees did not
welcome Lee with open arms. They
hated to see him come and were i'm
menselv relieved to see him go: they
went to the last extreme Of inhoSpi-
tality towards him while he stayed:
and the Union troops that could be
called into the State in the emergency
gave him as hot fight as they knew
how: but his soldier!y notions Of the
art of making war have left his men,
ory heartily respected among the peo-
pie who were fated to suffer most at
his hands. What American generals
memory will be equally revered by the
Filipinos when the last echoes of the
present war have died away?-New
