[From the Richmond TimeColonel Benjamin S. Ewell, ex-president of William and Mary—His brother's relations to Jackson. [From the Richmond Times June 12, 1892.] On Tuesday, October 13, 1891, General John Echols delivered before the Confederate Association of Kentucky, at Louisville, an Address on Stonewall Jackson, which the Louisville Cwould be. The Times in an introductory note cites the objectionable paragraph as follows: General Ewell did not have a high opinion of General Jackson's natural ability,—and continues: General Jubal A.

r, to morrow on our flank, next day in our front. Such gross violations of the principles of the art of war are not to be supported. I refer, of course, to the campaign against Grant, from the Rapidan to Petersburg, in which Swinton says the Army of Northern Virginia killed and wounded more of the enemy than it had men in its ranks. Although this campaign is teeming with the splendid work of the artillery from the beginning to the end I can only refer to one of its performances. General Ewell in speaking of the battle of the 18th May, 1864, at Spottsylvania courthouse, says: When well within range General Long opened upon them with thirty pieces of artillery which, with the fire of our skirmishers, broke and drove them back with severe loss.

(See Report of General Lee, Official Records, Vol. XXVII, pages 313-325.) Lee carried back into Virginia seven pieces more of artillery than he carried with him into Pennsylvania. (See Report of Lieutanant-Colonel Briscoe, Chief of Ordnance, Official Record Vol. XXVII, page 357.) At ten minutes past 4 o'clock P. M. on the 4th General Meade says that
