Faith in Lee and his men so great that both citizens and Officals were unncle Bob, as the soldiers lovingly and familiarly called General Lee, had hurled back the advancing forces of the Federal army, and it was felt that as long as Lee stood for the defence of Richmond, Richmond was safe.

McDonald, of Charlestown, W. Va., contributes to the sun someimore was then full of supplies necessary to an army. They seemed much in earnest, and desirous to have the move made. Lee refused. When I reached Harpers Ferry and delivered their messages to General Harper, he sent me immediately to Richmond. Arriving there the next day, I had an interview with General Lee, who, on the 23d of April, had been put in command of all the Virginia troops. He was eminently a cautious leader and did not approve of moving our forces to Baltimore. If the coarched to join the Marylanders in the defense of Baltimore, and the first battle of the war would have been fought there. Lee's caution may have lost Maryland from the list of Confederate States, but from within her borders came many of the braves

The fight well described by a Georgia Colonel. Fighting Joe Hooker boasted. He was confident and restless, but ultimately Learnt his Lesson— how Jackson lost his Life—Some brilliant strategic Movements—Old Salem Church—Parts played by Lee and Gordon. General Hooker, commanding the Federal army in 1863, occupied the hills north of the Rappahannock river in rear of Fredericksburg, Va., with a force of about 125,000 thoroughly equipped and well seasoned troops. It was by far the bthe backs of the Confederate soldiers. He had been transferred to the army of the Potomac for the express purpose of taking Richmond.

But Mr. Hunter, of Virginia, had denounced it as involving emancipation, advancing this argument, among others, that negroes now are deterred from going to the enemy only by the fear of being put in the army. If we put them in they will all go over. But the bill passed only a few months before General Lee's surrender, and never became operative. The Sun asks whether or not, if it had been made effective at the time General Cleburne proposed it, it might not have changed the whole course of events. Reason and religion both say no. The seeds of that war were implanted in the Constitution, and their germination was only a question of time. War was inevitable, and, like other things, the manner of its termination was directed by the innate Power. But for the consolation afforded by this
