an almost %incalculable debt OF graft

courage guerrilla warfare after the
south was no longer able to maintain
organized armies.
The force which Gen. Lee surren'
dered at Appomattox was only a tat
tered remnant of the once powerful
| Army of Northern Virginia-that army
of which Swinton, the historian OF the
Federal Army of the Potomac, wrote
in terms of discriminating praise and
admiration. It Is said that StoneWall
Jackson declared on n occasion that
Gen. Lee was "the only man he had
ever met whom he would follow blind
folded" That spirit appears to have
animated every soldier in the Army OF
Northern Virginia. The last charge
Lees soldiers made, when surrender
stared them in the face, was as bril-
liant and valorous as the charges
which made the Army Of Northern
Virginia famous when victory seemed
to be assured. And having followed
Lee to the last extreme Of loyalty ant
courage to the climax at Appomattox
they followed his counsels faithful,
