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- F. S. •*-"•<&'* - ‘ Publisher ftaftVS of Athrfrrtmng'.

At the battle of Winchester, or Ope- quan as it is called by General Grant, my effective strength was about eight thousand five hundred (8,500) muskets, the three battalions of artillery and less than three thousand (3,000) cavalry.

Qb- 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.
