We received yesterday by the Havana
ateanicr the following letter from Lieut.
<}cn. Early, now in that city, but about to
leave for the City of Mexico. It contains
many interesting stenieots which have
never appeared before about the forces
engaged in the late war, and much of the
heretofore secret history of the military
movements of the Confederates :
Havana, Dec. 18. 1SG5.
To The Editor of the' New York News:
Having sren it stated in several papers
published in the United States that I am
sn applicant for pardon, l desire to say,
through your columns, that there is no
truth whatever in this statement. I have
neither made nor authorized such applica
tion, and would not accept a pardon from
the President of the United States if
gratuitously tendered me without condi
tions or restrictions of any kind. I have
nothing to regret in the course pursued
by me during the war, except that my
services were not of more avail to the
cause for which I fought; and my faith
in the justice of that cause is not at all
shaken by the result.
1 have not given a parole or incurred
any obligation to the authorities of the
Unite ! States, and utterly disclaim all
allegiance, or dependence upon, the Gov
ernment of that country. I am a volun
tary exilo from my own country, because
I aiu not willing to submit to the foreign
yoke imposed upon it. All declarations
attributed to me which are inconsistent
with the above statement, are entirely
without foundation, arid I hope there will
be no further misappreheusiou as to my
position.
The reports of the. campaingns of 18G4
and 18G5 by Secretary Staunton and
Lieut. General Grant, rec< ntiy published,
contain many erroneousstutesments which
do great injustice to the Confederate
armies. The press in the Southern States
is at present effectually muzzled by mili
tary rule, and the Confederate cause has
no appropriate organ by which the ears
of the world can be reached The time
will arrive, however when a true history
of the warfare can be written so as to en
able foreign naiions and posterity to do
justice to those who have sustained so
unequal a struggle for all that is dear to
man. In anticipation of that time, I will
call attention to some facts which will
show the tremendous odds the Confeder
ate armies had to encounter.
Mr. Secretary Staunton’s report shows
that the available strength present for
duty in the army with which Gen. Grant
commenced the campaingn of 1S04 was,
on the 1st of May, 18G4, as follows:
The Army of the Potomac (uuder
Gen. Meade) 120,SS6
The Ninth Army Corps (under
Gen. Burnside) 20,7S0
Aggregate 141,106
Beside this, he says the chief part
of the force designed to guard the
Middle Department and the Depart
jnent of Washington “ was called to the
front to repair losses in the Army of the
Potomac,” which doubtless was done be
fore that army left the vicinity of Spottsyl-
▼ania Court House, as Gen. Grant says :
is The loth, 14th. 15th, lGth 17th and
iSth of May, 1SG4) were consumed in
.uianuvcring and waiting for re inforce-
tuents from Washington,” aud Mr. Stan
ton says the sending of these troops to
^he front caused the detaching from Gen.
Jheg’s anuy of the force under me to
threaten Baltimore and Washington.—
^ he available strength of the forces in
those departments, on th# 1st of May,
according Mr. Staunton’s report, was as
follows :
la the Department of Washington 42,124
In the Middle Department......... 6,927
it had received any rc-inforceiuents what- which a large portion had been detached tired back to Newmarket because provis-
ever. This estimate does not include the to cut the railroad leading from Baltimore ions and forage could not be obtained in
re-enforcemcnts received in the way of re- north. Grant says that two divisions of the lower 4 alley. The expiditions by
cruits from voluntary enlistments and the the Sixth corps and the advance of the which the posts of New Creek and Bever-
draft, which was entirely going on, nor
does it include re-cuforcemcnts from
Northern Department aud the Depart
ments of the East and the Susquehanna,
where there were, by Mr. Stanton’s show
ing, 15,344 available men for duty, the
greater part of which, it is presumed,
were sent to Grant, as, otherwise, they
might have been brought to Washington
to meet my force with more ease than
troops from^his army.
General Lee’s army, at the beginning
ot the campaign, consisted of two divis
ions of Longstreet’s Corps, Ewell’s Corps,
A. P. Hill's Corps, three divisions, of
cavalry and the artillery. I commanded,
at different times during the campaign,
Hill’s aud Ewell’s Corps’ and am, there
fore, able to state very nearly the entire
strength of the army. Ewell's Corps, to
which I belonged, did not exceed four-

tecn thousand (14,000) muskets at the i ginia.” Some idea may be formed of the
beginning of the campaign. When I w.s strength of the Sixth corps when it is recol-
vious reasons of policy prevented any
publication of these facts during the war,
and it will now be seen that I was leading
a forlorn hope all the time, and the pub
lic can appreciate the character of the
victories won by Sheridan over me.
Thc statements I have made are from
placed iu command of Hill’s Corps, on ! keted that the Army ot the Potomac was facts coining within my own knowledge,
the 8th of May, by reason of Gen. Hill's
sickness, its effective strength was less
than thirteen thousand (13,000) muskets
and it could not have exceeded eighteen
thousand (18,000) in thc beginning.—
Longstrcet’s Corps was the weakest of the
three when all the divisions were present,
and the two with him had just returned
from an arduous and exhausting Winter
campaingn in East Tenressee. IIis effec
tive strength could not have exceeded
eight thousand muskets. General Lee’s
whole effective infantry, therefore did not
exceed forty thousand muskets if it
reached that number. The cavalry di
visions were all weak, neither ot them
exceeding the strength of a good brigade.
The artillery was in proportion to the
Other arms and was far exceeded by
Grant’s, not only in the number of men
and guns, but in weight of metal, and
especially in the quality of thc amunition.
Generals Lee’s w hole efiectivc strength at
the opening of the campaingn was not
over fifty tbousaud (50,000) men of all
arms. There were no means of recruit
ing the ranks of the army, and no re-en-
forcemeiits were received until it reached
Hanover Junction, on the 22d of May.
It was this force therefore, which com
pelled Grant, after the fightiug at the
Wilderness and around Spotsylvania
Court House, including the memora
ble 12th of May, 18G4, to wait six days
for re-enforcements from Washington be
fore he could move, and baffled his favor
ite plan of reaching Richmond. At
Hanover junction General Lee was joined
by Pickett's division of Longstrcet’s corps,
one small bigade of my division of Ewell's
corps, which had been iu North Carolina
with lloke, and two small brigades, with
a battalion of artillery under Breckcn-
ridge, which General Grant estimates at
15,000, and which was subsequently uni
ted to mine at Lychburg, did not exceed
two thousand (2,000) muskets. At Coal
Harbor, about the 1st of June, Hoke’s
division from Petersburg joined General
Lee, but Brcckenridge’s force was sent
back immediately, on account of the de
feat and death of General Win. E. Jones
at Piedmont, in the Shanandoah Valley,
and Ewell’s corps, with two battalions of
artillery was detached under my command
on thc morning of the 13th of June to
meet Hunter. This counterbalanced all
re-enforcements. The foregoing statement
which fullv covers General Lee’s strength.
composed of three corps on thc 1st of May
previous, to wit: the Second, Fifth and
Sixth, and that its effective strength then
was, according to Mr. Stanton’s statement,
120,386. Thc same statement shows
that the available ssrength of the forces
in the w Department of West Virginia,”
on the 1st of May, 30,782, and most of
the troops in this department were con
centrated in the Valley. Documents
subsequently captured showed the strength
ut the Nineteenth corps to have at the
battle ot Winchester, not less than 12,000
effective men. Official reports captured
at Cedar Creek showed that Sheridan’s
Cavalry, on the 17th of September, two
days before the fight, numbered 10,100
present for duty. His artillery was vast
ly supeiior to mine in the number of men
and guns. The Sixth corps alone must
have exceeded my entire strength, uuless
it had met with such tremendous losses
as to reduce its strength at least three-
fourths. From all the information re
ceived and from documents captured at
Cedar Creek, I am satisfied that Sheridan’s
effective infantry strength at Winchester
could not have been less than 35,000
muskets, and it was probably more. The
odds against me, therefore, were fully
four to oue, and probably more, llis
very great superiorty in cavalry was very
disadvantageous to me, as the country
was very open and admirably adapted to
cavalry operations, and my cavalry, being
mostly armed with Enfield rifles without
pistols or sabers, could not fight his,
whose equipment and arms were com
plete. At the fight at Cedar Creek I had
been re-enforced by one division of in
fantry (Kershaw’s) numbering twenty-
seven hundred (2,700) muskets, one
smali battalion of artillery, aud about six
hundred (GOO) cavalry, which about
made up iny losses at Winchester and
Fisher’s Ilili. I went into this fight with
eight thousand five hundred (8,500)
muskets, about forty pieces of artillery
and about twelve hundred (1,200) caval
ry, as the rest of my cavalry, which was
guarding the Luray Valley, did not get
up in time, though ordered to move at
the same time I moved to the attack
Sheridans infantry had been recruited
fully up to its strength at Winchester,
and his cavalry numbered 8,700, as shown
bp the official reports captured. The
main cause why the route of his army in
the morning was not complete was the
1 lost
shows the disparity of forces between the fact that my cavalry could not compete
two armies in the beginning, and it was * with his,and the latter, therefore remained
never lessened after they reached the | intact. He claimed all his own guns that
vicinity of Richmond and Petersburg,! that had been captured in the morning
but was greatly incraescd. The curious j and afterward recaptured, as so many
may speculate as to what would have guns captured from nte, whereas
been the result if the resources in men
and munitions of war of the two com
manders had been reversed, or if Lee’s was
strength had approximated Grant s. Oc
cupying a neutral position, as between
the two Federal commanders, Grant and
Butler, and certainly having no reason to
admire the latter, I cannot but be amused
and they are made to show the disparity
between the Confederate armies and those
of the United States. These statesments
will serve to give some idea of the dispar
ities existing in other linos. I now ask :
which has retired) from thc contest
with more true glory, that heroic band
of Confederates who so long withstood
the tremendous armies and resources
the Unitfcd StaLs, or that “ Grand Army
of the Union,’’ which, while being re
cruited from all the world, was enabled
by “ continuous hammering ” to so ex
haust its opponent “ by mere attntiou ”
as to compel a surrender. The world has
never witnessed so gseat a political crime,
as that committed in the destruction ol
the Confederate Government by armed
force. Other nations, in ancient as well
as modern times, have fallen under the
yoke of the conqueror or usurper, because
their own follies, vices, or crimes had
prepared the way for their subjugation.
Many tears have been shed over the fate
of unhappy Poland, but we cannot shut
our eyes to the fact that the Poles had
shown their incapacity to manage their
own Government ere they were consigned
to foreign rule. In our case, however,
thc civilized nations of the earth have
stood aloof and seen a brave and patriotic
people politically murdered, while main
taining an unprecedented struggle for the
ri<;ht of self «rovernmeut, and manifesting
at £Vcry step their capacity for it, and
this, too, wltcu under an assumed neutral
ity, the resources of men, money, and
munitions of war of those very nations
were being freely used to consumate the
monstrous deed, and thereby give the
final blow to a genuine republican gov
ernment even in the United States.
On behalf of my down trodden country,
I make the appeal to those nations that
they will not commit the further injustice
of receiving thc history of this struggle
from the mouths and pens of our enemies,
but that they shall wait until the time
shall come for placing a true history be
fore them. In thc meantime, let all my
countrymen who were in a condition to
know the character of thc contest, put in
a tangible form to be preserved for thc
use of thc future hist- rian, such facts and
materials for that history as are in their
knowledge or possession.

My friends, our aim bav honestly been
to git you all back into the folds of the
glorious Un-ion. Like the prodigal son
wc had nothin to live on. aud feelin lone
some and hungry, hav been bowin and
scrapin and inakin apolog) s for five or six
months, we hav been standing afur off for

they kill for us. They know we’ve got
nuthin, for they eat up our substance, and
as for puttin rings on our fingers we
could't expect it until they bring back the
jewelry they carried away. I cannot say
in the language of the poet that our la
bor has been a labor of love, for we've
had monstrous poor encouragement fo be
shore; but wc had all set our heads to
wards the stars and stripes and we jintly
determined that, come weal come wo, sink
or swim, survive or perish, thundor or

git back somehow or somehow else, or
we’d stay out forever and ever, amen and

Up to this time it has been an uphill
business. The team was a good one and
the gear all sound, and the wagin greased>

tincst, cordroy in the world. Its pull up
and skotch, and pull up and skoteh, and
ever and annonyentus the skotch slips
out and the tung cuts round and away we
go into the gully. Andy Johnsin is the
driver, and he says “go slow” and he hol
lers “wo, wo” and loses the road and an
then we have to go back to the fork and
wait till he blazes the way. He serins to
he doin his best but then, thar is Sumner
and Satin aud Stevens and Davis and
