instructed by General Jackson to tell no

(,’onfed. rate.officer but Pender recog
nized the General, and, springing from
his horse, hurriedly expressed his regret,
and added that his lines were so much
broken, he feared it would be necessary
to fall back. At this moment the scene
was a fearful one. The air seemed to he
alive with the shrieks of shells and the
whistling of bullets ; horses, riderless and
nm 1 with fright, dashing in every direc
tion; hundreds left the ranks and fled to
the rear, and the groans of ihe wounded
and living, mingled with the wild shouts
of others to be led again to the assault.
Almost fainting as he was, from the loss
of blood, fearfully wounded, as bethought,
dyin_r, Jackson was undismayed by the
terrible scone. The words of Pender
seemed to rouse him to life. Pushing
aside the meu who supported him, lie
stretched himself to his full height, and
answered feebly, hut distinctly enough to
he heard above the din of the battle,
“General Bender, you must hold on to
the field’ you must hold out to the last. ’
It was Jackson’s last order upon the field
of battle. Still more exhausted by this
effort, he a^ked to be permitted to lie
down for a few moments, but rbc danger
from the fire, and capture I13’ the Federal
advance, was too imminent, and his aid:
hurried him on. A litter had been ob
t iim d, be was placed on it, and the bear
ers passed on as rapidly as the thick
woods and rough ground permitted. Un-
foiInnately, another one of the bearers was
.shot down, and the litter having been
supported at, each of the four corners by
n man, fell and threw the General to the
ground. The fall was a serious one, and
as he touched the earth he gave, for the
first time, expression to his suffering, and
groaned piteously.
Captain Smith sprang to his side, and
as lie raised his head, a bright beam of
moonlight made its way through the
thick foliage, and rested upon the pale
the sufferer.
the ambulance to be halted, and request- j fy it, as there-was some danger of capture
' by the Federate who were threatening to
cross at Ely’s Ford. In the maintime,
to protect the hospital, some troops were
sent to this point. The General objected
to being moved, if, in my opinion, it
would do him any injury. He said he
had no objection to staying in a tent, and
would prefer it, if his wife, when she
came, could find lodging in a neighboring
house. “ And if the-enemy does come,”
he added, “ I am not afraid of them; I
have always been kind to their wounded,
and I am sure they will be kind to me.”
General Lee sent word again, late that
evening, that he must be moved if posi-
sible, and preparations were made to leave
the next morning. I was directed to ac
company and remain with him, and my
duties with the Corps, as Medical Direc
tor, were turned over to the Surgeon next
in rank. General Jackson had previous-
ously declined to permit me to go with
him to Guinea’s, because complaints had
been so frequently made of general offi
cers when wounded, carrying off with
them the surgeons belonging to their
commands. When informed of this or
der of the Commanding General, he said,
“ General Lee has always been very kind
to me, and I thank him.” Very early
Tuesday corning he was placed in an
ambulance, and started for Guinea’s Sta
tion, and about eight o’clock that evening
he arrived at the Chandler House, where
he remained till he died. Capt. Hotch
kiss, with a party of engineers, was sent
in front to clear the road of wood, stone,
etc., and to order the wagons out of the
track to let the ambulance pass. The
rough teamsters sometimes refused to
move their loaded wagons out of the way
for an ambulance, until told that it con
tained Jackson, and then, with all possi
ble speed, they gave the way and stood
with hats off, and weeping as he went by.
At Spottsylvauia 0- H., and all along the
whole route, men and women rushed to
the ambulance, bringing all the poor del
icacies they had and with tearful eyes
they blessed him, and prayed for his re
covery. He bore the journey well, and
was cheerful throughout the day. He
talked freely about the late battle, and
among other things, said that he had in
tended to endeavor to cut the Federate off
from the United States Ford, and taking
a position between them and the river,
oblige them to attack him; and he ad
ded, with a smile, “ My men sometimes
fail to drive the enemy from a position ;
but they always fail to drive us away.”
He spoke of Rhodes, and alluded in
high terms to his magnificent behavior
on the field Saturday evening. He hoped
he wuuld be promoted. He thought pro
motions for gallantry should be made at
once upon the field and not delayed;
if made very early, or upon the field,
they would be the greatest incentives to
gallantry in others. He spoke of Colonel
Willis,* who commanded, the skirmishers
of Rhodes’ Division, and praised him
very highly, and referred to the death of
Paxton and Roswell veiy feelingly. He
alluded to them as officers of great merit
and promise. The day was quite warm,
and one time he suffered with slight
nausea. At his suggestion, I placed over
his stomach a wet towel, and he express
ed great relief from it. After he arrived
at Chandler’s he eat some bread and tea
with evident relish, and slept well through
out the entire night. 'W ednesday he was
thought to be doing remarkably well.—
lie eat heartily for one in his condition,
and was uniformly cheerful.
I found his wounds to be doing very
well to-day. Union by the first intention,
ed that something should be done for C’s
relief.
After reaching the hospital, he was
placed in bed, covered with blankets, and
another drink whiskey and water given
him. Two hours and a half elapsed be
fore sufficient reaction took place, to war
rant an examination. At two o’clock
Sunday morning, Surgeon Black, V alls
and Coleman being present, I informed
him that chloroform would be given him,
and his wounds examined. 1 told him
that amputation would probably he requir
ed, and asked if it was found necessary,
whether it should be done at once, lie
replied, promptly, “ Yes, certainly ; Doc
tor McGuire, do for me whatever you
think best.” Chloroform was then ad
ministered, and as he began to feci its
effects, and its relief to the paiu he was
suffering, he exclaimed, “ What an infin
ite blessing,” and continued to repeat the
word “ blessing” until he became insen
sible. The round ball, (such as is used
for the smooth-bore Springfield musket,)
which had lodged under the skin, upon
the back of his right hand, was extracted
first. It had entered the palm, about the
middle of the hand, and had fractured
two of the bones. The left arm was then
amputated, about two inches below the
shoulder, very rapidly, and with slight
loss of blood, the ordinary circular opera
tion having been made. There were two
wounds in his arm, the first and most
serious was about two inches below the
shoulder joint, the ball dividing the main
artery and fracturing the bone. The
second was sevctal inches in length ; a
ball having entered the outside of the
forearm, an inch below the elbow, came
out upon the opposite side, just above the
wrist. Throughout the whole of the ope
ration, and until all dressings were ap
plied, he continued iusensible. Two or
three slight wounds of the skin of his
lace, received from the branches of trees,
when his horse dashed through the woods,
were dressed simply with isenglass plas
ter. About half-past three o’clock Colo
nel (then Major j Pendleton, the Assis
tant Adjutant General, arrived at the
hospital, and asked to see the General.
When he entered the tent the General
said, “ Well, Major, I am glad to see you,
I thought you were killed.” Pendleton
explained the condition of affairs, gave
Stuart's message, and asked what should
be done. General Jackson was at once
interested, and asked iu his quick, rapid
way, several questions. When they were
answered, he remained silent for a mo
ment, evidently trying to think; he con
tracted his brow, set his mouth, and for
some moments was obviously endeavoring
to concentrate his thoughts. For a mo
ment it was believed he had succeeded,
for his nostril dilated, and his eye flashed
its old fire, but it was only for a moment;
his face relaxed again, and presently he
answered, very feebly and sadly, “I don’t
know—I can’t tell; say to Gen. Stuart,
he must do what he thinks best.” Soon
after this he slept lor several hours, and
seemed to bo doing well. The next
morning lie was free from pain, and ex
pressed" himself sanguine of recovery.
He sent his aid-de-camp, Morrison, to iu-
The captain was
startled by its palor and stillness, and
cried out, “ Oh ! General, are you serious
ly hurt ?” “No,” he answered, “don’t
trouble yourself, my friend, about me,”
and presently added something about win
ning the battle first, and attending to the
wounded afterwards. He was placed up
on the litter again, and carried a few
hundred yards when L met him with an
ambulance. 1 knelt down by him, and
said, “ 1 hope you are not badly hurt,
General.” lie replied, very calmly, but
Ircebly, “ I fear l am dying.” After a
pause he continued, “ I am glad you have

is still bleeding.” His clothes was satu
rated with blood, and haemorrhage was
still going on from the wound. Compres

Towards evening he became better,
and hopes were again entertained of his
recovery. Mrs. Jackson arrived to-day,

eral’s joy at the presence of his wife and
child were very great, and, for him, unu
sually demonstrative. Noticing the sad
ness of his wife, he said to her tenderly,
“ I know you would gladly give your life
for me, but I am perfectly resigned. Do
not be sad; I hope I may yet recover.—
Bray for me, but always remember in
your prayers to use the petition, ‘Thy
will be done.’” Friday his wounds were
again dressed, and although the quantity
of the discharge from them had dimin
ished, the process of healing was still
going on. The pain in his side had dis
appeared, but he breathed with difficulty,
and complainod of a feeling of great
exhaustion. When Dr. Breckcnridge,
who, with Dr. Smith, had been sent for
in consultation, said he hoped that a blis
ter which had been applied would afford
him relief, he expressed his own confi
dence in it and in his final recovery.
Dr. Tucker, from Richmond, arrived
on Saturday, and all that human skill
could devise was done to stay the hand
of death. He suffered no pain to-day,
and his breathing was less difficult, but
he was evidently hourly growing weaker.
When his child was brought to him
to-day he played with it for some time,
frequently caressing it, and calling it his
“ little comforter.” At one time he raised
his wounded hand above its head, and
closing his eyes, was for some moments
silently engaged in prayer. He said to
me, “ I see, from the number of physi
cians, that you think my condition dan
gerous; but I thank God, if it is His
will, that I am prepared to go.” About
daylight on Sunday morning, Mrs. Jack-
son informed him that his recovery was
very doubtful, and that it was better that
he should be prepared for the worst, He
was silent for a moment, and then said :
“ It will be infinite gain to be translated
to Heaven.” He advised his wife, in the
event of his death, to return to her
father’s house, and added, “You have a
kind and good father, but there is no one
so kind and good as your Heavenly Fath
er.” He still expressed a hope of his
recovery, but requested her, if he should
die, to have him buried at Lexington, in
the Valley of Virginia. His exhaustion
increased so rapidly, that at 11 o’clock
Mrs. Jackson knelt by his bed and told
him that before the sun went down he
would be with his Savior. He replied,
“Oh, no! you are frightened, my-child;
death is not so near; I may get well.”—
She fell over upon the bed, weeping bit
terly, and told him again that the physi
cians said that there was no hope. After
a moment’s pause, he asked her to call
me. “Doctor, Anna informs me that
you have told her that I am to die to-day;
is it so?” When he was answered, he
turned his eyes towards the ceiling for a
moment or two, as if in intense thought,
then replied : “ Very good, very good ; it
is all right.” He then tried to comfort
his almost heart-broken wife, and told her
he had a good deal to say to her, but he
was too weak. Col. Pendleton came into
the room about 1 o’clock, and he asked
him “ who was preaching at headquarters
to-day?” When told that the whole ar
my was praying for him, he replied,
“ Thank God—they are very kind.” He
said: “It is the Lord’s day; my wish is
fulfilled. I have always desired to die on
Sunday
His mind now began to fail and wander
and he frequently talked as if in com
mand upon the field, giving orders in his
began to pain him so much that he asked
President is still in the prime of man
hood, though already his hair and beard
are grey ; he has been long accustomed
to command; he is familiar with hard
ships as with fame—has slept for months
amid the woods of Virginia, and has
crossed the Rappahannock northward at
the head of a victorious army; he has
been proven alike by bad and evil fortune,
and, whether when threatening the Fede
ral capital, or when surrendering his
sword to a Federal Captain, he has ever
borne himself as be-seeuied a man born
alike by ancestry and by nature. The
descendant of “Light Horse Harry” has
doffed the grey uniform for the garb of a
peaceful professor; nor can we own that
the change is a degradation, even for
Robert Lee.
There is a difference in this mode of
action, but no alteration in the object,
which is simply to render the best service
he can to his native State. To that sin
gle aim he has never once been unfaithful;
and he will still pursue it, we may rest
assured, with the old high enthusiasm
tempered by a cautious brain. Through
out the war nothing was more remarkable
than Lee’s personal influence—in the
manner in which he impressed every one
who approached him. That men, with
Jackson’s purity and earnestness, or with
the debonnairc and graceful valor of
Stuart, should appreciate the illustrious
qualities of their leader, was only natural; 111 ‘
but even the humblest soldiers in the
ranks felt, though they might not have
been able to express the moral power
which Lee exerted. The war was. in all
conscience, sanguinary enough, but there
would have been a very carnival of car
nage, a devilish outbreak of all men’s
fiercest passions had the Southern leader
been of a different temper.
Gallantly as the Confederates fought,
wc must not forget that their armies were
composed of somewhat questionable raw
material; that the volunteers, with all
the instinct of bravery which seldom
deserts a dominant class, had likewise
many of the vices which are inevitably
engendered by the possession of arbitrary
power. Accustomed to the unchecked
license of authority, the slaveholders
might perchance have been leady enough
to give the wdr a character of internecine
hatred; and it was eminently due to
Robert E. Lee that the courage and hu
manities of civilized warfare were, on the
whole, observed. The gentle nature of
the man never degenerated into weakness;
with a high hand he could restrain exces
ses, and admirably did he exercise his
power. There are no purer pages in the
history of the civil war than those which
relata to the invasion of Maryland and
Pennsylvania, at. a time when the temper
of the Southern people was sorely tried.
Such qualities as he displayed could
not fail, in the long run, to win the re
gard of a manly and affectionate people,
and while we find he was loved like a
father by all those who shared his imme
diate perils, we have not yet forgotten
that when the victorious veterans of the
North were marching home through
Richmond, they burst into a splendid
shout of enthusiasm as they recognized,
gavely contemplating them from a cur
tained window, the familiar form and face
of Robert E. Lee.

to new, and God fulfills himself in many
