GENERAL LEE
EULOGIZED BY
SOUTHERNER

John S. Wise, of Virginia. lectured be-
fore the Outlook Club, in Club Hall, Mont
clair, last night, on Robert e. Lee" The
speaker said that General Lee was at the
time of the war the handsomest man he
ever saw. He had no beard at that time,
just a small mustache; he had a kindly eye
and a face Of purity and sympathy. lie
continued; when he saw war was almost
inevitable he resigned from the Federal
army, and said to the people of Virginia:
L have resigned my commission and place
my sword at the service of my mother
State, in the hope that ! may never be
called on TO use it,

Lincoln had called on each State for its
quota of men, then Virginia said: If
we must fight, let us fight for our own

son were winning battles right and left
and were fast becoming the idols of the
people Of the ~Confederacy. Lee was sent
TO Charleston as a failure. An old slave
who had been out with the Confederate
Army and had been employed in carrying
water to the soldiers, ran into jeff DaYis's
headquarters one day and sat down..

when Johnson was wounded Lee was
placed in the command. The army was re-
spectful to him, though he was not their
choice; johnson had been their idol. In
thirty days after General Lee took com
mand McClellan's advancing army had
been turned into a retreat. Above all gen
erals in both armies the name of Lee shone
to the world at large as the brightest star.
General Pope took command, and said
that he had never seen anything but the
backs of the enemy. But through his gen
eralship Lee drove Pope back and captured
millions of dollars worth of stores. Instead
of Antietam being a drawn battle Lee would
have won had mot one of his lieutenantt

He said the Union generals at Freder-
