The Daily Dispatch: June 17, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 3 (search)
r, Engineer, 80; Craig, head of the Ordnance Department, 76; Ripley, Ordnance, 70; Sumner, 65; Lawson, Surgeon General, 80; Larned, Paymaster General, 70; Gibson, Commissary General; Churchill, Inspector General; and Thomas, Adjutant General, are old men, having entered the army in the beginning of the present century — Gibson in 1808, and Churchill in 1812. On the other hand, remarks the Columbia Guardian, we find in the Army of the Confederate State Davis, Commander-in-Chief, a young man comparatively, and full of energy, vigor and fire; Beauregard, only between 40 and 50, in the full vigor of health; Lee, about 54 or 55; Bragg, active, vigorous and efficient, with others that might be named did we know their precise ages. In the physique of our officers, and in the materiel of their command, the Confederate States have a decided advantage over the enemy. But above all these they have the higher advantage and the favor of the Almighty, in the fact that their cause is just.
