LEE AND JACKSON.

Yesterday was the birthday anniversary
of Robert E. Lee, born in Virginia, in 1906,
and tomorrow will be the birthday ami
versary of Thomas J. Jackson, native of
the same State and born in 1924.
Lee and Jackson together had always
been invincible. The Federal commanders
who fought them will never stand in COM
parson with them. Jackson was abso-
luteiy necessary to Lees bold campaigning.
The death of jackson was, as Lee himself
declared, the loss of his right arm. That
loss was irreparable, and could never be
made good. There was none who could
take the place of this great soldier.
Lee has been measured by all the stand
ards of soldiership with the great profess
sional soldiers of the old world as his
judges, and he has been assigned place
among the select few of the foremost mill
tary chieftains of every age. In him the
military geuius of America was developed
to greater extent than ever before.
Lieutenant General Richard Taylor, who
was great general and man of high at
tainments, in his book, "Destruction and
Reconstruction, says: "From the mo-
ment Lee succeeded to the command of the
army in Virginia he was feeble princeps in
the war, towering above all on both sides,
as the pyramid of Ghizeh above the desert.
Steadfast to the end, he upheld the waning
fortunes of the Confederacy as did Hector
those of Troy. Last scene of all, at his
surrender, his greatness and dignity made
of his adversary but humble accessory
and if departed intelligences be permitted
to take ken of the affairs of this world, the
soul of Light Horse Harry rejoices that his
own eulogy of Washington, First in war
first in peace, first in the hearts of his
countrymen,' is now by the united voice OF
the South, applied to his noble son.

Asia is the largest of the three great
divisions of the Eastern Hemisphere, and
consists mainly of a great central table,
land. It's superficial contents amount to
II, SOC, 600 square miles, whereas those of
Africa are less than 100000, and those
of Europe do not exceed 100000. Asia
extends itself through all three zones, the
torrid, the frigid, and, the temperate, and
lies mainly in the last, or most favored of
them. It is traversed by frequent and
lofty mountain chains, the sources from
which flow numerous rivers of first-rate
magnitude.
