Fitzhugh Lee before the Virginia Division of the Armyt the brilliant genius and audacious courage of Lee and Jackson shone so conspicuously throughout ting that had theretofore been projected against Lee and his staunch soldiers. The battle is of army. On pages 83-5 of his Four years with General Lee, Colonel Taylor says: General Lee, withGeneral Lee, with fifty-seven thousand troops of all arms, intrenched along the line of hills south of the Rappahannat he could compel either the evacuation by General Lee of his strongly fortified position, or elserg.

ert Sedgwick Hooker his battle orders his compliment to Lee's Army Lee's order announcing Jackson's death. I recall Lee's order announcing Jackson's death. I recall but one or two features of the march to Chancellorsville. We were with McLaws' division, and of the 14,000 (Anderson's and McLaws' commands) with which General Lee undertook to hold, and did hold, the front of Hooker's 92,000, while Jackson, with th shoutings, which rapidly swept toward us, and very soon General Lee, with a full staff, galloped to the front, passing betwe seriously upon him for failure to do so, and Early and Fitzhugh Lee, on the Confederate side, take a like view. The two labeing brought, under the circumstances, into comparison with Lee's matchless second and his absolutely perfect appreciation, that, for reasons not necessary to mention, never did equal Lee's army. With a rank and file vastly inferior to our own, intable to human nature. The following is the order which General Lee issued to his army announcing the death of Jackson: G

I do not remember where I overtook Ewell's corps, but think I entered Pennsylvania with them. General Lee had issued stringent orders against plundering and, certainly in the main, the men carefully observed these orders. I was constantly told by the inhabitants thntense patriotic devotion and his other sterling and heroic qualities. I have seldom heard him speak of any other officer or soldier in the service, save of course Lee and Jackson, in such exalted terms as of the old Governor-General. May I be pardoned for relating one more incident of our Pennsylvania trip, and that not strict

Without recanting the statement that Chancellorsville is the most brilliant of Lee's single battles, I do not hesitate to say that in my opinion — that is, if and so far as I am enect — the campaign of 1864, from the Wilderness to Cold Harbor, inclusive, is the greatest of all Lee's campaigns-incomparably the greatest exhibition of generalship and soldiership ever given by the soldier, both as to character and capacity. We all felt that he behaved handsomely, both to General Lee and to his men, at Appomattox, and that, later, in standing between Lee and his leading officLee and his leading officers and the threatened prosecutions for treason, he exhibited strong manhood and sense of right.
