SOME PAGES FROM IVY SCRAP BOOK

in the senate, Major General Matt.
Ransom, who is struggling to clear
his property Of encumbrances that
he was forced to put upon it to
make it productive. Brigadier-Gen-
eral John T. Morgan, Of Alabama,
who depended upon his law practice,
which was larger in volume than In
income; Lieutenant-General Hamp-
ton, of South Carolina, who is com
paratively poor man, though large
land owner; Major-General Butler,
his colleague, who lost all in the war
and has not recovered much; Major
General Maxey, of Texas, who, by
the way, has an independent income
from his practice, and owns beau
tiful home in Paris, Texas.
In the house there are many brig
adiers, and few heavier generals.
Gen. Joe johnson leads in rank,
though his service in the house has
not been brilliant. He has fine
insurance business, and his wife,
daughter of Judge Mclean, had con-
siderable property. His book has
not paid him much, [ hear, being
published under a poor contract.
Alabama has done well by her gen
erals, having in the house: Major
General w. HI. Forney, who has lit
tie beyond his salary, and Brigadier-
General C. NJ. Shelley, who is in
about the same condition. Georgia
has Brigadier-G General Phil Cook, who
has a good law practice in Americas,
Ca, and who has had four terms in
the house. Brigadier-G General Dib-
rell, of Tennessee, is comfortably
fixed, and is reelected to the house
for his third term-and Atkins and
Whitethorne, of the same state, were
generals of state troops. Virginia
has Brigadier-General Bealle, who is
doing well outside of congress, and
General Eppa Hunton, who retires at
the close of the present congress,
perfectly able to take care of him
self. North Carolina has Gen. Robert
Vance in the house, to balance Gen
eral Zeb in the senate. louisiana has
General Randall Gibson, who has
been elected to the next house, and
to the senate also. He is a rich man,
having had means Of his own, and
his wife having had some property.
General Chalmers is representative
of the famous shoe-string district of
Mississippi, and is moderately well
off. This finishes up the list Of
"rebel" generals in the house and
senate, l think, without omission.
There are a number of Confeder-
ate generals in the departments and
in various service in Washington.
First in the Importance of his work
is General Marcus J. Wright who
has charge Of the Confederate rec
ords, and who was looking towards
a literary connection when he was
offered this place that would have
brought him fame and money.
Major-General C. w. Field, who

strange, and in the main, what a sad
history is that Of the generals who
led the Confederate armies In the
late war! 1t is story of poverty
and deprivation, lit up here and there
by a CLEAN of good luck-but of
poverty borne manfully, and of de-
privation met with the same courage
that led these men to the front OF
their legions.
The fate of the "rebel brigadier"
at the close Of the war was enough
to depress the most buoyant among
them. They had put everything on
the turn of the sword and had lost.
Property, BUSINESS and al had
living, but not much more Major
General L. L. Lamar, who was a
brave soldier, has some position
about the house, probably being in
the document room.
Major-General Cadmus M. Wilcox
is with the sergeant-at-arms of the
senate, and has little fortune out
side of his position. Major-General
Sam Jones is in the adjutant gen.
eral s Office, where he has good
though not prominent place.
Major-General Harry Heth, who was
a classmate and great friend Of
Burnside, has comfortable position
in the treasury and this closes the
roll, I believe, Of the generals of the
Southern armies about Washing,o
in any capacity, unless General c. L.
Stevenson, who was formerly clerk
of congressional committee, still
holds his place.
The cause Of education has engag-
ed the time and gives support to a
good many Of the old leaders Of the
boys in gray. General Custis Lee is
at Washington-Lee as before noted.
General Kirby Smith is chancellor Of
the University of the South at Su-
vance, Tennessee, his necessities
making him greatly dependent on
his salary. a. u
Lieutenant-General D. II. Hill is
president of the State Agricultural
College of Arkansas, at Fayetteville,
at salary of $780, He has been
poor ever since the war, and lost
much time and money in publishing
a periodical that was, however, a
creditable and pure publication, and
in teaching school. Bligadier Gen
eral M. p. Lowry has charge of a fe
male school at Salem, Miss, and is
prospering finely Lieutenant-Gen-
eral A. P. Stewart is chancellor of
the University of Mississippi, where
he gets a good salary and has fine
position. Brigadier-General Lilly is
a professor somewhere, 1 think at
Washington-Lee University, and this,
l believe, closes the list of generals
who are engaged in training the
young men Of the South. And yet
there is General J. Argyle Smith,

W. III. ("Red 'op Jackson, who mar
ried a daughter of General Harding,

and they were left, in the fierce light
of fame, without any resource-ex-
pected to support certain dignity
and nothing to support it on. There
was no standing army into which
they could be retired with adequate
salary. There was no hope for them
In the thousands Of lucrative Offices
that the republicans distributed
among the federal generals. Their
states were impoverished and were
unable to support civil establish
ments that would furnish Offices out
of which anything could be hoped
for. Of course the privates Of the
Confederate army were deserving of
all sympathy; but it seems to me
that the generals had somewhat
harder lines. At any rate, am sure
that there is no old soldier that fol-
lowed the stars and bars that will
not read with interest a kindly in-
quiry into the history of these old
leaders and their families. l believe
the annexed will be entirely accurate,
certainly nearly so:
hardly know where to begin, but
suppose we take the living Lees with
which we open the hurried review.
w. H. F. Lee, the Oldest son of
Robert E. Lee, is living at present in
Fairfax county, on farm that be-
longed to the estate of his aunt, Mrs.
Fitzhugh. 1t is fine place; the
general is an attentive and success
full farmer, and he gets a cOmforta-
BILE living out of it. Custis Lee, the
next son, succeeded his father as
President Of Washington-Lee Uni
versity, and lives in Lexington. He
is bachelor, and his two sisters live
with him. He has fine expectations,
Judge Hughes having decided that
the Arlington estate, now used as
federal cemetery, is his by right Of
law. The case has been appealed,
but the judgment will hardly be re-
versed-and the place will be ap-
praised and payment made for it.
Robert Lee lives on the old Lee es-
tate in Westmoreland county, where
he is moving along smoothly, MAX
ing enough to supply his wants. Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee has a farm on the Po-
tomac, that belonged to his aunt,
Mrs. Fitzhugh, and it is said is show
ing considerable enterprise, though
not amassing money. He has a saw
mill, l think, in connection with his
farm.
The house and the senate have a
good many Of our generals, and 1
think with the exception of Generals
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-07-18

There are very few of our old gen
erals who have accepted Office from
the federal government. Lieutenant
General Longstreet is minister to
Turkey. Colonel Mosby, who won
the prominence Of general, is con-
sui to Hong-Kong. Major-General
Lafayette McLaws, who was one Of
the powers Of the Army Of Virginia,
is postmaster at Savannah. Major
General James Fagin was United
States Marshal of Arkansas under
Grant, but l believe is out Of the
service now. I do not know of any
others that hold political appoint
ments, and believe there are none
other. Oh, yes, there is General Jack
Wharton, of louisiana, who took the
marshalship of the New Orleans dis
trict a few years ago.
The railroad business has captured
its quota of the generals and pays
good salaries for light and genteel
work. Major-General John C. Brown,
of Tennessee, is first vice-president
of the Texas Pacific, with headquar-
ters at Marshall and salary of $1O,-
600 year and expenses. He had
money before he . took this place,
having had " practice of $4,000 to
$4,000 from soon after the war.
Major-General John B. Marina
duke is railroad commissioner of the
state of Missouri on a salary of
$4,000 year, on which he lives with
dignity and ease. He is a bachelor
and will probably leave his position
with competency. He stands high
in St. Louis.
Major-General M. d. L. Rosser,
one of the most daring cavalrymen
that ever drew saber, is chief en-
gineer Of the Northern Pacific at a
big salary, and has made a fortune
in lands along the line. He is
bachelor, and divides with Pierce
Young the honors with the fair sex.
Lieutenant-General John B. Cor
don is counsel for the Louisville and
Nashville road, at salary of $4,000,
and General E. P. Alexander, the
best artillerist of the army, is prac-
tical manager of the same road at
probably as large a salary. Neither
of the gentlemen is rich, but will
both probably save money from their
salary.
General r. III. Ransom was in
charge of the freight agency Of an
important southern line.
Major General e. C. Walthall lives
in Grenada, Miss, and is general
counsel for the Mississippi Central
road at a salary of $4,000 per an
mum, and is well off in the world 8
goods.
There are three Of our generals
who have become chiefs Of police.
Brigadier-General r. Fl. Anderson,
dashing cavalry officer, is chief Of
police in Savannah. Brigadier-Gen-
eral Tige Anderson, is chief of police
in Atlanta, and Brigadier-G General
