GETTYSBURG FROM SOUTR'S
VIEWPOINT
WHY GEN. LEE WAS DEFEATED
.StonewalR' JacIxson's Death Robbed
Him Of General Upon Whom He
Most Depended.


Specially Written For The Public Ledger
Washington, June 30.
Major Robert W. Hunter was sol
der in the Second Virginia infantry Of
the famous ''Stonewall Brigade at
the first battle of Manassas, and at APP
pomattox, where the flag of the South
ern Confederacy was furled forever. he
was Major General John B. Gordon's
chief of staff. he. was with Jackson
and Early in their campaigns in the
Valley, and in all the great battles of
the Second Corps of the Army of North
ern Virginia he bore himself with con-
spicuous courage. He served on the
staff of Major General Edward John
son at Gettysburg, and on the death of
Major Benjamin Watkins Leigh, who
fell in that great struggle, became the
adjutant of Johnson's division.
OF sound body, alert mind, clear con-.
science, though faithfully observing his
parole at Appomattox, he sees again
armies Of men marching to Gettysburg,
and once more 'smelleth the battle afar
off, the thunder of the captains. and
the shouting" and after the manner
of the soldier in the story book, he
reaches out his hand to grasp the bat
tered sword hanging on.the wall, only
to find that it was dream,

The Bridge.

One phase of the Bridge ques-
ton does not seem to have been
much discussed, and we think it
should have much bearing In de-
termining the ISSUE
The western slope of the Blue
Ridge, from the Virginia line to
the Shenandoah, offers, by long
odds, the finest location for sum-
1ner homes within a radius of
seventy-five miles of Washington.
If easy access could have been
had to it, it would long ago have
been studded with bungalows and
more ostentatious summer homes
Elsewhere, it will be noted, that
the erection of a summer Capitol
is being agitated.
No point SO near Washington
as Jefferson is can offer as con-
venient or desirable location.
Stranger things have happeH ned.
Years ago the Town and Coun-
tyz were filled with summer
boarders, whose expenditures
helped business materially in all
directions.
50 now. Is it not because
other sections do more to attract
the summer visitor
With the beautiful mountain
country open to travel by bridge,
would not this added attraction
appeal to those who want to get
away from bricks and mortar?

Gettysburg.


Jefferson is well represented at
Gettsburgy this week and what
ever discussions may ensue, her
sons will have no apologies to
make for the manner in which
they bore themselves on that his
toric field fifty years ago.
But for Longstreet's fatal pro-
crastination, or with jackson
there, Lee would have dictated
the terms of peace which Would
have saved the South the horrors
of Reconstruction. But sush specu-
1ation are vain enough now.
If anything were needed to DEM
onstrate the fact that all sectional
feeling has passed away forever,
the great fraternal gathering on
the worlds create" battle field
furnishes it.
Pennsylvanians are hospita bic
to the core. and are leaving nsth-
ing undone for the entertainment
and comfort of their guests.
It is a great and historic oc-
casion, and our people are proud
and glad that the county is repre-
scented by SO splendid delegation.
Drawer men never gave up their
all to cause in which they be-
1ieved.

years ago; but the old fellows who viii
sleep tomorrow night on the mountain
tops at Gettysburg win doubtless see in
their dreaming great armies Of men in
blue and gray, aphhntom host at peace
forever.
sThere is great French painting Of
The Soldiers Dream that fifty por-
trays the great cloud Of witnesses who
will hover over Gettysburg this week,
not to awaken passion, but to watch
over theiveterans encamped there, that
sweet as are the blessings Of peace,
their largest comfort must come to
life and conscience fran the reflection
that none has been disloyal to the blood
that has been shed.
In general Alexander's Military
Memoirs lit was Alexander's guns
that shook the heights of Cemetery
Ridge on the third day at Gettysburg
there is brief summing up of the
army in which had the honor to fight:
The record made by the Army of
Northern Virginia, during which it
was under the command of General
| Robert E Lee, from June /, 1862, to
April 8, 1865. is remarkable one. In
this brief period of 1000 days, with in
ferior numbers. poorly equipped and
but badly supplied with food and cloth
ing, it fought seven great campaigns
against 6 picked generals of the enemy.
This last campaign endured for II
months, during which the guns were
scarcely silent single day. Lees
army at its greatest numbered less.than
IS, 900 men. 1t put hors du combat
more than 268. 900 FederaIs within the
period mentioned. Briefly, It may be
said that Lee, iu a fight to the finish
against heavy odds, prolonged the
struggle for thousand days, and put
out of action, in the meantime, more
than three of the enemy for every man
in his own army. aC- its maximum of
srrengte. Scarcely in the history of
Napoleof1ss 20 years in power can the
record of such fighting as this be
paralleled.
There are not many of us left.
The thin gray line is growing thinner
year by year. and it will soon vanish
from the earth. wish that we might
all be even as Mr.. Valiant For Truth
of who it was written that when his
summons had come, he said: I am
going to my Fathers. My sword give
to him that shall succeed me in my
pilgrimage. My marks. and scars I
carry with me, to be witness for me
that have fought His battles who
now will be my rewarder. tits fur
Their narrated in this most effective
story: When the day he must go hence
was come, many accompanied him to
the river side, into which. as he went,
he said, Death, where is thy sting?
And as he went down deeper, he said.
Grave, where is thy victory? So he
passed over, and all the trumpets
sounded for him on the other side.

Their e Wit! The Goods.

Did you ever notice that Presi-
dent Wilson never goes off half
9 cooked?
When he recently suggested
the existence of an insidious lob
by in. Washington he was Harsh
~ criticised in many quarters,
and yet these same critics must
now admit that the revelations of
of skulduggery and crooked deal
ing by the paid lobbyists of the
unfair interests have more than
justified the President, S charge.
One thousand dollars a month
and unlimited expenses seems to
have been no unusual fee for these
political parasites. One New
England Senator seems to have
loaned his franking privilege to
the agents of the Sugar Trust
enabling it to save twenty-eight
thousand dollars in stamps.
And then it is wondered why
the people cannot get the one
cent letter postage they are en-
titled to.
Some big fish seems to have
been caught in the net, Posing
as parliamentary solicitors,
many ex-members have capitalized
their former connection with
Congress with excellent results
to their bank accounts.
The President seems deter
mined to rid the body polite of
the Yermin which have SO long
infested it.
AS st. Patrick drove the snakes
out of Ireland, so may President
Wilson drive every crook out of
Washington, and that right
speedily
More power to his good right
arm!

Gettysburg.

Sleep, peaceful hills Thy crimson
sun shall set
No more upon the faces of the dead /;
Thy growing fields shall raise their
golden grain
Untrampled by the feet of life and
death,
Sleep, for the cry from tight-pressed,
suffering Lips
Is hushed forever, and the hearts that
bled
Have underneath thy flowers gone to
rest.
Sleep wrapped in peace, no more shall
passion climb
In dissertation up thy bleeding sides,
Nor hatred look defiance in the eyes
For meath the quiet Of the summer
sky
Those hearts that longed for peace,
yet fought SO well,
Lie dreaming past the bitterness of
death.
Yea, sleep through all the anguish
and the strife,
The spirit was the same that made
them great
Lo, now they rest, unbalanced, as friend
and foe,
Beneath thy wounded field where
shadows, creep,
While DER those armies silent. rank
and file.
Thy evening skies their sundered
stars unite.

up the line of march. Six days later,
at Hagerstown, General Lee issued an
address to his soldiers, saying:

ever characterized the soldiers of
