T/ie Man icho Would Not Follow
the Kxample of G-eueral Grant.
* A REFUssEB OF GIFTS.
Lexington, Ya'., Oct. 31.
In these days when the conduct of
public men is being so closely scruti
nized, it may be of general interest to
give a lew incidents illustrating the
character of the great Confederate
leader, Gen. R. E. Lee—especially in
the matters of gift-taking and nepo«*
tisin.
If any public man could be justified
in receiving gifts from his friends,
Gen. Lee could surely have been.—
Leaving at a moment’s notice the
splendid estate in Arlington to become
the prey of his enemies, and nearly all
of his property being within hostile
lines and beyond his reach—his scant
salary in Confederate scrip being ut
terly inadequate to support in proper
style bis invalid wife and acomplisli
ed daughters—it was the universal
wish of the people for whom he had
sacrificed so much, that some proper
provision for his family should be
made.
Accordingly, in the winter of ’64,
the City Council of Richmond unani
mously voted to present him with a
handsome house, and appointed a com
mittee to make the purchase. Seeing
a notice of this in the papers, Gen.
Lee at once wrote, to the president of
the council, expressing ins grateful
appreciation of the kindness meant,
but begging that no further steps
should be taken in the matter, as he
should be compelled to decline the oi
ler. “I shall be but little in Rich
mond my; wrot e the noble man,
“and my family are as comfortable as
as they have a right to be these war
times.
‘•lf you have money to invest in
that way, I beg that you will it to the
families of our private soldiers, who
are more needy and deserving than
my self.”
Various other offers of a similar
na u ■', were respectfully but firmly de
clined.
At ille close of the war offers of
assistance poured in upon him from
every quarter. An English noble
man, supposing that he would rejoice
in a quiet retreat from the scenes of
his gre it struggle, and the disasters
that had come upon his native South,
wrote him a feeling letter in which he
offered him a country seat and an rtnnu
ity of four thousand pounds. The
General was deeply touched by this
offer, and wrote a feeling reply in
which he made his grateful ackuowl
edgments, but declined the offer says
ing : “I can not consent to desert my
native State iu the hour ot her ex
tremity. I must abide her fortunes
and share her fate.”
Soon alter lie became President of
Washington College, a large insu
ranee company tendered him its Pres
idency at a salary of slo,oo> per an
num. lie told the agent who brought
the proposition, that he could not dis
charge his duties in the college and
except these new ones.
“But, Generasaid the eager agent,
“we do no; wish you to have any du
ties in connection with the place we
offer you The mere use of your
name is all we ask, and that will am
ply reimburse us for our outlay.”
“ Excuse me, sir,” was the prompt
and emphatic reply ; “I cannot
consent to receive pay for services I
do not render, or to accept, under any
consideration, a gratuity.”
To a large number of similar offers
he always gave the same answer.
Not long before liis fatal illness be
was offered a salary of fifty thousand
dollars per annum, to go to New York
and be the head of a certain wealthy
corporation there ; but he at once
and in the most emphatic terms,
refused the offer, saying that nothing
would tempt him to leave his post }
where he was training the young men
of the south to do their duty in life.”
Not all the gold es California could
tempt him to swerve an inch from the
path of duty.
The authorities of Washington
College were always anxious to pay
Gen. Lee a salary as their apprecia
tion of his services and the public
seemed to demand.
But when they saw the college exs
pand under his able management and
wide influence until its number of
students had increased from 70 (before
the war)'to 411, and its utterly pros
trate finances had so recuperated that
they had been enabled to increase the
corps of instructors from 5 to 22, they
felt that every principle of common
justice demanded that the President’s
salary, should bear some proportion
to the invaluable services rendered.
But they always met with an insu
perable obstacle in Genual Lee’s
refusal to receive more than $3,000
for his services. It was in vain that
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 29, 1872.
they argued that they tendered him
no gratuit). that the prosperity of the
college was due to him, and that his
Services were fully worth all they pro
posed to give him. He said that the
coliege was not able to pay all ot its
professors, what they proposed to
give him, and he was unwilling to re
ceive more than the other members
of the faculty. Seeing that there was
no hope of inducing him to accej t a
direct increase of his salary, they tried
to compass il by indirect means.
The board of trustees made an ap
propriation (without General Lee’s
knowledge) for a very handsome house
which they intended to deed to him
and his family. When he found out
that the appropiiition had been made
lie superintended the construction of
the building (being always careful to
call it “the president’s house”), and
made it cost only about half of the
amount appropriated.
During his Southern tour, which
declining health made neceesary, in
■ 1369, the board of trustees donated
this house to Mrs. Lee, and voted her
an annuity of £3,000. It was deli
cately and quietly done, but when the
great chieftain returned and learned
what had been and me, he wrote, in be
half of Mrs. Lee a letter in which he
•gratelully and courteously, but firmly
declined the proffered donation, sav
ing that if he should die before Mrs.
Lee, and be unable to leave her coni
sortable, her sons would most cheer
fully provide tor her ; and that in any
event they could not consent to take
anything from the college.
The college authorities were so fully
persuaded of the justice of this pro
vision, that they quietly adhered to
their action, had the deed recorded
in the clerks effiee, and after the Gen
eral’s death, sent Mrs. Lee a check for
the first pa_ m nt on the annuity.
But noble Virginia matron, to whom
we can pay no higher tribute than to
say that she was every way w orthy,
t > be the chosen “help-meet” of R. E.
Lee, promptly returned the check, and
respectful y declined the donation.
A party of gentlemen at the White
Sulphur'Spnugs, several summers be
fore his death, conceived tlie idea
that they could put Gen. Lee’s‘tamily
beyond all fear of want by raising
$5,000 to e alow the
Chair of Washington College,” on the
condition that at his death the money
should go to his family.
The General, being apprised of this
scheme wrote to W. W. Corroran,
Esq., (the great Wa h ngton banker,)
who was the moving spirit in it, ex
pressing his high gratification at their
interest in ihs college, and saying .ha’
lie would be most happy to receive
their do union, only he should “in
sist on their dispensing with the coil'
dition, and allowing the money to go
into the permanent funds of the col
lege.”
Your correspondent had the priviy
lege not long after the death ot this
great man, of looking over his private
letter-book, in which were copied
most of the letters he wrote while in
Lexington.
He remembers one which beauti
fully illustrates this point, and which
it is not improper to make public,
now that the distinguished soldier to
whom it was addressed (Lieut. Gen.
R. 8. Ewell) has laid aside his earth
ly weapons, and goue to join his hon
ored chief in that bright clime which
is undisturbed by “war’s rude alarms.’
Gen. Ewell denoted $504 to college
on condition that it should “go to in
crease General Lee’s salary.” When
General Lee heard of the donation,
he wrote his old Lieut, a touching
beautiful letter, in which he warmly
expressed his appreciation of this re
membeance of his former comrade in
arms, but begged that he would not
insist upon the condition ot the dona
tion, but would let it go into the com
mon fund, mentioning a number of
things that the college needed far
more than any increase of the Presi
dent’s salary.
“I already receive,” he wrote, “a
larger salary from the college than my
services are worth, and you will ap
preciate that I cannot, therefore, con
sent to have it increased.”
After some more in the same strain
he added the following, which I quote
verbatim as illustrating another phase
of Gen. Lee’s character not generally
appreciated :
“I hope now that your care and toils
are over ; that your health, under the
pleasing influences of your present
life, has been greatly improved. For
my own part, I much enjoy the charm
of civil life, and find too late that I
have wasted the best yc-ars of my exis
tence.”
We give one other example, which
not only illustrates the point we are
considering, but also the tender feel
ing which existed between Lee and
his veterans. Not long after the sur
render the General was waited upon
by two ragged Confederate soldiers
who had just returned from prison,
and who said that they came as repre
sentatives of “sixty other fellows
around the corner, who are too dirtv
to come themselves,” and who sent
them to tender their loved chieftain a
home in the mountains of Virginia.
“We will give you,” said the spokes
man, “a comfortable house and a fine
farm. We boys will work it for you,
ami you and your family shall never
sutler want. And we hear, General,
that Underwood is going to have you
indicted and tried for treason and re
bellion.’ Now if you will just accept
our proposition, we know a mountain
hollow to which you can retreat, and
we will gather the boys there in force
sufficient to defy the whole Federal
army.”
It was with difficulty that Lee could
restrain his tears sufficiently to sav in
reply: “Why, my poor fellows, I
could not think of accepting your gen
crons offer and being a burden to you.
Besides, you would not have your
General to hide in the mountains and
become what his enemies would call a
fugitive from justice. No, lam deep
ly touched at your offer, and cannot
command words to express my grati
tude, but I must, of course decline.”
The noble fellows were persistent,
insisting that it would not he a bur
den—that they had more land than
they wanted—and that they would all
consider it a high privilege to bo per
mitted to work for their loved chief,
and it was only after the General had
given them suits of his own clothing
in place of their rags, that in their
eagerness to show their treasures to
their comrades, he succeeded iu get
ting rid of their importunities.
The offer of these ragged soldiers
was but the oulgushing of the feeling
of the whole southern people. De
spite their dee}) poverty they would
have bestowed upon Lee houses and
lauds and money that would have
made him a millionaire, had he per
mitted it. But he preferred to set
the people the example of earning his
bread by his own honest toil, and
steadfastly reiu. ed t > accept all gra
tuities.
His conduct in this regard bears a
very striking resemblance to that of
“ the Father of Ms country” (George
Washington,) who Always refused to
accept presents.
It is ii very striking contrast to
that of a certain other prominent
character, whom we need not name,
who has accustomed himself to receive
gratefully everything offered whether
house, lands, bank stock, a of ci
gars, a jug of whisky or a terrier pup
py (provided the express charges are
prepaid)—until by universal consent
he has won and wears the sobriquet
of “ The Great Gift Taker.”
We must reserve for another paper
some illustrations of General Lee’s
entire freedom from the slightest taint
of nepotism, and his utter self-abne
gation where he conceived the inter
ests of his country to be involved.
Whatever opinions men may have
as to the cause for which Lee drew
his sword, no right-minded man can
doubt that he was animated by the
noblest motives, and that there were
many points in his pure character
which our public men generally might
well study and imitate.— Courier -

A True Gc m.
We extract the following from the
Mobile Register. It will awaken re
sponsive echo in many a time-touched
heart. True poetry like true feeling
can never grow old.
“The following touching little poem
went all the rounds of the press about
fifteen year ago, since which time it
has been sleeping quietly out of sight.
It is one of these poems which cannot
be read with indifference—the young
will never fail to sec its beauty, while
the old cannot help felling it. With
in the past fifteen years many young
readers have taken position upon the
world’s stage, and are ready to see in
this gem the beauties which were seen
by their fathers have, within the same
time, crossed the middle line of life,
and are now standing in the footsteps,
vacated forever by the old people of
fifteen years agone. Under these cir
cumstances we may start again, confi
dent of its universal appreciation, this
little pet of, we might say, a past pub
lic, entitled—
TIIE OLD LOVE.
I met her, s he was thin and old,
She stooped and trod with tottering feet;
Her locks were gray that once were gold,
//or voice was harsh that oaco was sweet
Her cheeks w ere sunken and her eyes,
Robbed of their girlish light of joy,
Were dim; I felt a strauge surprise
That I had loved her when a boy.
But yet a something in her air
Restored me to my youthful prime :
My heart grew young and seemed to wear
Tae impress of that long lost time ;
I took her wilted hand in mine,
Its touch awoke a world of joy ;
I kissed her with a reverend sigh,

Hints About an Oichard.
Editor Times. —l wish through the
columns of the Carroll T’mes, to call
the attention of fruit growers, of this
section of Georgia, to the following
hints and suggestions in regard to
transplanting, pruning and pre
serving young fruit trees.
The soil where you design to make
your orchard, should he naturally dry
or well drained ; and I prefer fresh
laud, especially, for apple trees. It
should be well plowed before plant
ting and the deeper tlie better, and
the fertility of the soil should be such
as would ensure a good corn crop.
r I he holes should be dug twenty
five feet apart each way for up-land,
and thirty, for first cla<s bottom ; and
about three feet in diameter and
twelve or fifteen inches deep, throwing
the surface soil in a heap to itself, and
the sub-soil or clay m the same man
ner.
Now when the hole is dug to the
proper depth, then, commence filling
up with the surface soil already thrown
out, (not using the sub-soil or clity at
all) after which, go out into the fence
corners and procure the virgin soil, or
into some rich bottom or ravine in the
woods, and get a sufficient quantity of
the best and strongest loam you can
find, to fill up the remaining portion
of the hole or holes, as the case may
be ; either of which is most excellent
to promote the rapid growth of old,
as well as young fruit trees.
Alter the above preparation, the
process of planting is easily performed
by opening a place large enough to
receive the roots in their natural posi
tion, first seeing that all broken or
bruised roots are nicely and carefully
pruned, before setting out, filling in
with the same character of soil as
above indicated, so as to have all the
space under and about the roots well
and properly filled.
k e certain not to plant over two
inches deeper than the tree oiriginals
ly grew in the nursery, so that the
lateral or side roots when they grow
out, will communicate directly with
the surface soil; and not be buried, asis
often the case, from eighteen to tvven
ty i.iclics in the hard, unproductive
and sterile clay; of course, the tap
root of the tree, was designed by nas
ture, to penetrate the subssoil and
hold the tree in a proper and upright
position.
The earth after having been gently
pressed down while planting, should
be filled up about the trees in the
form of a large broad mound, which
serves to keep th?UJ in an upright po
sition, until the roots commences
growth, so as to make them sell-sus
taining ; and also, allows one to dis
pense with the use of stakes, which
often injure if, they do not entirely de
stroy them.
After which mulching will be found
very beneficial to the tree. This is
done by covering the surface* some
four or five inches thick around the
tree with litter of almost any kind,
such as coarse manure, weeds, straw,
leaves or tan. Don’t use the fresh
tan, for fear it may sour the roots of
the young trees.
The mulching should extend some
eighteen or twenty inches beyond
the extremity of the roots. By
this means moisture will be retained
in seasons of the severest drought.—
This should be done immediately af
ter planting. Many trees that would
otherwise perish can be saved, as well
as make a much larger growth, the
first season particularly. Be careful
not to interrupt the mulching by plow
ing or hoeing too close too it, the first
summer after the trees are set out.
Now as to pruning young fruit trees,
with apples, standard Pear and
Peach trees, not over seven feet high,
every side branch should be cut awav,
within two buds of the stem, and al
so, part of the leader, especially of
the Peach, should be cut back, at least
one half of the previous years growth.
The reasons for this art- the following:
This pruning will reduce the top to cor
respond with the diminished capacity of
the roots, so that they will furnish a
full supply of sap, and* cause it to
stand and grow more rigorously. Sec
oudly, the buds on* the remaining
snags and last years’ growth of 'the
main, upright stem, will form ail need
ful branches, of better form and more
vigorous growth, than the entire
branches would, if left on.
Cultivation will be found of great
benefit to the growth of the trees; in
deed it is indispensable to promote a
healthy and vigorous growth. Young
orchards should he 'cultivated for sev
eral years, and have vegetables grown
therein, but never grain or grass.
Now iu conclusion I want to post
you on one more important idea, in
regard to young fruit trees, and that
is simply this: llqw to preserve your
trees from the assaults of that mis
chievous little animal the rabbit. Now
in order to accomplish this desirable
end. take th? oldest and most offensive
smelling that you can find
about the smoke house, mix one third
common home made soap ; and then
rub a good supply on your trees above
rabbit reach, and they will be safe
from the encroachments of this trouble
some and anno} ing little quadruped.

Ole and Bill Nations used to love
whiskey, especially Bill. W e soaked
it when we could git it : and when
we could nt we 1 aukcred alter itatua
zinly. We started on a little jurney
one day in June, and took along a
bottle of “old rye,” and there was so
many springs and wells on the road
that it was mighty nigh gone before
dinner. We took our snack and Bill
drained the last drop, for he said we
would soon git to Joe Paxton’s, and
that Joe always kept some.
Shore enuffi Joe dident have a drop,
and we concluded as we was mighty
dry to go on to Jim Alfords and stay
all night. We knew that Jim had it,
for he always had it. So we whipped
up and the old Bay had to travel, for
1 tell you when a man wants whis
key everything has to bend to the
gittin ot it. Shore enuif Jim had
some. He was mity glad to see us
and he knowed what we wanted, for
he knowed how it was hisself. So he
brought out an old fashion glass de
canter, and a shugar bowl, and a tum
bler, and a spoon, and says he, “now
boys jest wait a minit till you git rest
ed sorter, for it ain’t good to take
whiskey on a hot stomaek.
I’ve jest been reading a piece in
Grady’s newspaper about a frog, the
darndcst frog that perhaps ever come
from a tadpole. It was found up in
Kanetucky, and is as big as a peck
measure. John do you take this j a
per and read it aloud to me and Bill.
I’m a poor hand to read and I want to
here it. I’ll be hanged if it ain’t the
durndest frog I ever hern of.” He
laid the paper on my knees and I be
gun to read, thiukin it was a little
short antidote, but as I turned the pa
per over I found it was mighty nigh
a column. I look a side glance at
Bill, and saw the little dry twitch.es a
j ampin about on his countenance
He was mighty nigh dead for a drink.
I warent so bad off myself and I was
about half mad with hiui for drainin
the bottle before dinner ; so I just
read along slow j and stopped
two or three times to clear my throat
just to consume time. Pretty soon
Bill got up and commenced walkin
about and he would look at the dekali
ter like he would give his daylights to
choke the corn juice out of it ; I read
along slow. Old Alford was a listnin
and eliawin his tobakker and spittin
out of the door. Bill come up to me
his ikoe red and twitchin, and leanin
over my shoulder lie seed the lenght
of the story and I will never forgit
his pityful tone ashs whispered-“skip
some, John, for heaven’s sake skip
some ”
My heart relenled and I did skip
some and hurried through, and we all
jined in a drink, but I’ll never forgit
how Bill looked when he whispered
to me to ‘skip some, John skip some.’
I’ve got over the like of that, boys,
and hope Bill has too, but I don’t
know. I wish in rnv soul that everys
body had quit it, for you may talk
about slavery, and penitentiary, and
chain gangs, and the yankeis, and
General Grant and a devil of a wife
but whisky is the worst master that
ever a man had over him. I kuow
it myself. —Home Commercial.

Offensive Breath. —What is more
disagreeable than an offensive breath?
Perhaps filthiness of ] ersen, which
would prcduc2 an unploa aitod rad
an unpleasant appeavai ce to the ee;
but we are speaking more of i cr on *
of respectability who move in g< od
eiety. It is not very imeornmo:. fur
such people t * have a breath so of
fensive as to make their near presence
extremely disagreeable. There may
be several causes for this, but one of
the m®vs common is decayed teeth
and tha want of care respecting the
clenalines3 of-the mouth ; and singu
lar as it may seem, one may have an
offensive breath and not know it, and
it is a subject on which friends are
very reluctant to speak, so that
one may have a bad breath for a
year and not know it. After each
meal one. should remove with a stick
or quill all loose particles of food from
between the teeth, and rinse the mouth
with water, amt a soft brush at night
and in the morning, and a little nice
toilet soap on the brush may be used.
Nine out of ten who annoy their
