Fitzhugh Lee, General Lee, Chapter 10: Sharpsburg and Fredericksburg. (search)
the same place he tells her: We had quite a snow day before yesterday, and last night was very cold. It is thawing a little this morning, though the water was freezing as I washed. I fear it will bring much discomfort to those of our men who are barefooted and poorly clad. I can take but little pleasure in my comforts for thinking of them. A kind lady-Mrs. Sallie Braxton Slaughter--of Fredericksburg, sent me a mattress, some catsup, and preserves during the snowstorm. You must thank Miss Norvell [Caskie] for her nice cake, which I enjoyed very much. I had it set out under the pines the day after its arrival, and assembled all the young gentlemen [of his staff] around it; and though I told them it was a present from a beautiful young lady, they did not leave a crumb. I want a good servant badly. Perry [an old Arlington servant] is very willing, and I believe does as well as he can. You know he is very slow and inefficient, and moves very like his father Lawrence. He is also v

ia, where she belongs, and where she was going on a visit, and said every one would be inquiring about me, so that she had to come and see me. August 21, 1863. The draft, so far as the drawing of the names, appears to have passed off quietly in New York, but the tug will be when they attempt to secure the men. As, however, the Councils have appropriated money enough to buy off all the quota from the city, I should think the difficulty might be avoided. I had a visit to-day from Mason Norvell, whom you may remember in Detroit. He was just from Detroit, and brought me many messages from my friends there, and said I could not realize how much they thought of me in Detroit. I don't think you need fear my becoming a politician, and I believe such persons will let me alone so long as I am successful, or do not meet with any disaster; and if I am unlucky, it will not make much difference what my sentiments are; I shall have to go by the board. August 23, 1863. It must be

ich shows that after all they must have great respect for us, or they would not have taken them off for us. Well, at 7 o'clock P. M. we stopped firing, but they did not stop retreating, and there the fun ended for that day. N. B.--Gen. Longstreet showed himself in the most conspicuous part of the fight, and had his horse shot from under him. Company I. P. S.--Honor to whom honor is due. The color guard acted most heroically. While the fight was the hottest Serg Reeves, with Corp. Norvell and four privates, passed the creek with flying colors, having to wade up to their waist through the water, and planted the glorious bars and stars on the hill under an incessant fire from the enemy, whilst Reeves roared out to Turner to rally to their colors After repeated orders to retreat only, he fell back with his men to the main body. Company G lost two men more than I stated first--thus three in all. The dead are buried. A large apple tree shades their graves, and McLan
of a nation. It is popular agitation that develops the latent energy of minds that are truly great. The shock of a revolution created a Napoleon, and the diplomatic craft of scheming nations developed a Talleyrand. Amongst the prominent men of the present day whose character has been thus exhibited by the varying circumstances of a checkered life, and whose genius peculiarly fits him for eminent usefulness at the present crisis, is the gentleman whose name heads this article. Like young Norvell, he had heard of battles, "and longed to follow to the field some warlike lord." and yielding to the bent of his youthful inclinations, the blandishments of peaceful ease and comfort were exchanged for the perils and privations of the battle field, and there he early learned the sounds which have since so often made music for his martial soul. There is not a man in the whole South who is so familiar, by practical experience, with the vicissitudes of war, and it may, with equal truth, be sa
