Robert E. Lee. The record of the great ever attracts the attention of mankind. History provee that the people of the South may point to General Lee as an example, so rarely found, of goodnessgainst the honor, purity and patriotism of Robert E. Lee. Save him, there is no man of prominence c deeds. Too earnest for words, this man, Robert E. Lee, does his work silently — all unconscious imself and died in the arms of a royal harlot. Lee, repulsed at Gettysburg, said, "It is my fault,e with whom to liken him. Who thinks of calling Lee a Bayard, a Cæsar or a Napoleon? When Jackson fell, we lost the Moses of the South; should Lee be taken from us, we should be without — Lee. He iLee. He is indeed, the main prop of our cause. With him between them and the vandal hordes, men sleep in pef victory. Though the cause should perish, Lee will live. Time can do him no wrong. Should ie land made desolate, the name and fame of Robert E. Lee, like the pyramids in the Egyptian desert,

et of the same day, was so terrific that when our troops appeared in front of the fort immediately afterward, the garrison only awaited their assault to surrender without resistance; that they could not imagine why the attack had been abandoned; that matters remained in the same condition on the morning of the 26th and throughout that day; that we could easily have possessed ourselves of the forts until late in the afternoon, when General Bragg arrived at Wilmington with six thousand men from Lee's army, at Richmond; that, finding our troops re- embarking, Bragg decided not to molest us, and sent the six thousand men on to Charleston to reinforce General Hardee; that General Whiting retains only his original garrison, with whom he is busily engaged in repairing damages and in getting down four other guns (being all that he can get hold of) from Wilmington to replace those that were disabled; that the works are stronger against an assault on the land side than on the sea front, and tha

ation that his main army has left Savannah. A winter campaign is practicable in this latitude, but thus far I have seen no cause to look for an immediate advance by the enemy. Time is necessary, after such a march as that of Sherman's, to refit, rest, and bring up supplies of food, clothing, ammunition and transportation, before any fresh enterprise can be undertaken with safety. In any event, there is no reason to believe that an effort will be made to carry the works by which Charleston is defended by a direct assault. The attack, it is believed, will rather be made, by the west bank of Savannah river, against Augusta, or upon Branchville. In other words, it is believed that the movement will be made against the line of communications between Columbia and Augusta, so as, at the same time, to cut off supplies from Lee's army and take Charleston in the rear, as in the case of Vicksburg and Savannah, and as Grant sought to do, and still seeks to do, with Petersburg and Richmond.
