"ieutenant- general" This was q rank
which the modest and valiant warrior
p,,ears to have never claimed. In the
valua BILE series pu blished by the War Re-
cord Office Of the United States govern
ment, Wheeler never signed with higher
rank than as major-gener and was pa
rolled as SUCH What may have given
color TO the Misrepresentation. Is a state-
mont from correspondent that when
President Davis sought to reach the
Tt:ansmssissippi Depa rtment and to join
Gen. f. Kirby Smith, that Gen. Wade
Hampton offered to raise for him an es-
cort Of 5000 men.
Mr.. Davis declined an escort. urging
thet It would attract too much atten-
ton, and defeat his purpose. General
Hampton then proposed that Mr.. Davis
would confer upon General Wheeler (who
did accompany HIM the title Of 1ieuten-
ant general This the President declined
to do.
In a list Of West Point graduates, pub
| lished BY. the. association, the rank of Cen
| eral Wheeler was given as lieutenant
general. This was republshed in The
| Kichmond Dispatch of the issues Of

although Captain W. Gordon AlcCabe, its
compiler, had made the correction to the
