1t is possible to invest a beloved
man with such glorified character
as to cause those who did lot enjoy
intimate acquaintance with him to
wonder just what were the actual
principles and achievements of the
person discussed
1t is lamentably true for example,
that to the average man George
Washington is but memory Of ones
early school days with nothing of
remembered fact upon which to base
a Just and mature appreciation. AS
the valiant men of the Army of
Northern Virginia pass from the
scenes of time we, too, may find our
selves so engrossed in material strife,
so unimbued with the early southern
spirit. so unfamiliar with the details
OF the war as to be forgetful of the
true measure of man like Lee
No one need say that Lee had a
body of unequalled men to execute
his orders; all know that. But just
there it may be said that the most
intrepid body Of men are compara-
lively useless without the guiding
genius of a master tactician. In that
Lee was superlative. Not even
Napoleon eXcelled him there. When
King William of England attacked the
first Irish troops of James III at River
Boyne, the gallantry of the Irish was
wasted, because of the incapacity and
cowardice of their leaders. After the
surrender one of the Irish challenged
an English soldier to exchange lead
ers and fight the battle over.
In calm of long years of peace,
we recognize the martial ardor and
valor of the union soldiers who, while
not equalling the exploits of the
southern mon, added to the renown
of military prowess and it gladdens
our hearts that we yielded to men so
brave and generous. But what
Union Army? If he with his tired,
hungry poorly-proviGed army could
so often take with the fury of an avail
anchc armies of double and treble the
size what would he have done with n
army with great stores always at his
command?
Gen. Lee was the one man who could
have fought as he did; Just as George
| Washington was the one indispensable
! figure in the Revolution.
Just here we quote northern his
torian: "He Hee) was man of the
highest culture, of quiet, sincere life.
OF noble impulse, of perfect morals.
He would have been chosen chief
commander of the Union Armies;
but he could not turn his sword
upon the state that had given him
birth. Lee was the ablest command
er of the south, and many believe he
had no equ" on the other side of the
Union.
An interesting phase of Men. Lees
leadership was his aggressiveness.
Many continue to speak OF him as a
defensive general, whereas he was
either side. But, in the happy phase
Of John Hay, it was mingled wisdom
and daring" Not headlong or incau-
| tious, but with fine estimate of the
ability or inability of his antagonist
he studied the next probable move of
the enemy, and prepared to thwart it,
The same sure judgment OF his op-
ponent suggested unprecedented dis
positions of his men, as dividing his
small army in the very face of an
overwhelming body of the enemy.
The daring scheme of weakening
his army by detaching StoDcwall
Jackson from his position in front
Of Burnside to send him around
yielded abundant results in the inglor-
ious rout Of that bombastic worthy.
