q thing ever occurred iii any army OF
the Cot1fedcracy, from the beginning to
the end Of the war. Indeed, I am con-
Ehdent it never did Il. for, incredible as It
may appear, even Lee himself did not
have the power to make such promo
stion.;' 4. 4 fes,s 5 III ss 81 by

ters touching the movements hnd disci-
spline Of his army whereas, under the
law and the regulations OF the Depart
ment Of War in conformity thereto, he
had not even the power to confer pro-
motion on the field Of battle, and thus
