Such was the retrospect of this thirty

tons reversed. he had driven Mcclellan
in rout and disaster to the James; and
though Lee, the man. was modest. he was
but mortal, and Lee, the soldier, could
but be conscious Of his own genius: and.
having proved the matchless temper OF
the blade which Providence, or Destiny.
or call 1t what you will. had placed within
his hands, We may be sure that nus
heart was stirred with high hopes of his
country's deliverance, and that through
these hopes his plant genius was in
splred to discern In each new difficulty
but fresh device.
"And his veterans, of confirmed hardi-
hood, watching the gracious serenity of
that noble face, conscious OF the same
warllke virtues which made him dear to
them. caught up and reflected this conf
dence. remembering that he had declared
