The Candidates for the County Offices

The Candidates for the Con nty Offices
Saturday was the last day for filing

around and during the day got up

DID LEE EXPECT DEFEAT?
The Generals Significant Statement
After Sailors Creek.


After Sailors Creek.
My last official intercourse with Gen
eral Lee was on the retreat. | was
sent to him with dispatches from Pres
ident Davis and reached him near mid
night of April 6 near Rice's station. |
approached without being challenged
by a single sentinel and found him
standing near snoldering 1tre with
one of his hands resting ON an am
bulance wheel. He was debating some
order to Colonel Marshall, who sat in
the ambulance with lap desk receiv-
ing his dictation. AS General Lee
spoke he gaZed into the bed of Goals
as If weighing every word. There was
no staff or escort about, so far as
could see. Touching Sailors Creek he
spoke bitterly and said in answer to
Mr. Davis desire to know his proposed
line of retreat that it was beyond his
control; that he had intended to re-
treat by the line of the Danville road,
but had been forced of that route by
the arrival of Sheridan ahead of him
at Burkville; that he was then follow
ing the line of the Southside road to
Lynchburg but the enemy was out
marching him and might force him off /;
that his movements were dependent
on the developments of each hour. and
then he added: How can l tell? A
few more Sailors Creeks and it will all
be over-just where | thought it would
end from the beginning" When | first
published this statement it's truthful
| ness was questioned. Fortunately l
afterward saw two of his staff, both
| of whom said they had heard him ex-
press himself in the same way. There
| may have been times when General
Lee. elated by some Of his surprising
| successes, felt hopeful about the tri-
umph Of our cause. From the proba-
| bilities based on numbers and resources
| his Judgment may have been warped
| away now and then by the feeling he
expressed when, after Second Manas-
sas. Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg and
| Charlottesville, he said, mo general
| ever commanded such troops as those
| under me-" But his mind was too
| mathematical in its workings, and all
/ it's calculations were too habitually
| based upon what could be done with
| a given number of men and certain
| amount of material to make him forget
the vast disparity between the contest
| ants or hope for ultimate triumph

Last week we published com

defning their positions as to The sena-

says the same thing, as you will see by

another communication this week
from Senator Scroggs, which is no
more defnite on the point at issue than
the one published last week. We give
below letter from him written to
County Treasurer Weober some weeks
ago, which is much more definite, but
does not meet the point squarely.
