Cups were ap- !r si the London Daily Telegraph Compliment to General Les. At Lexington, in the State of A irginia, from pain. A message was received from Gen.

General Bender rode up here to ;he little party, and asked who was woun- d .1, an ! Captain Smith, who had been instructed by General Jackson to tell no , n ; of his injury, simply answered, “ a (,’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 come, I think tho wound in my shoulder is still bleeding.” His clothes was satu rated with blood, and haemorrhage was still going on from the wound.

The Gen 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. “ The old order changes, giving place to new, and God fulfills himself in many ways.” To teach young lads their classics and mathematics may seem but a poor for one whose word was the J. C.
