he jaunty bearing of Lee's men, as shrewdly out of beef at this time as ever were the English at Agincourt, was not due in a measure to the fact that just then their eyes were gladdened by droves of fat cattle sent them by an old comrade--Lieutenant-General Jubal Early, who, without the trifling formality of a commission from Governor Curtin, had assumed the duties of Acting Commissary-General of the rich Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Later (September 16th, 1864), Hampton made his brilliant rthern Virginia passed out in retreat. Thus were yielded at the last forty miles of entrenchments guarded by less than 40,000 men, In field returns for February, 1865, the number given is 59,094 for Department of Northern Virginia, but as General Early very pertinently remarks, this affords no just criterion of the real strength of that army, as those returns included the forces in the Valley and other outlying commands not available for duty on the lines. --Southern Historical Society Pape

As soon as I received more accurate information (by the favor of General Early, who was so kind as to send me his very interesting Memoirs), I wrote to the French editor, M. J. Dumaine, at Paris, begging him to omit at once the passage criticising General Early. I explained to him, that by a special study of the campaign between GeneralsGenerals Early and Sheridan, I had been convinced that I had been misled — that only the fearful odds against which Early fought had caused his want of success in the Valley Early fought had caused his want of success in the Valley — and that the conduct of the Southern troops had been misrepresented only by vague and uncertain rumors. But I did not even receive an answer to my letter, and wasl retained in the French translation. This is my excuse, and I hope that General Early--for whom I cherish the highest respect and veneration, and whose deeds hav
