A Xtw story of the Surrender of Lee.
[From a London Bariev of Lieut^OoL Chesnc v's
"Essays in Militaiy Baerjpliirt. 1 ']
Four of these essays relate to Jhe great
war in America, the events of which, per
haps in themselves as interesting in a
military sense as those in any war the
world has seen, have fiot received the
careful attention which they merit, owing
to the distraction of the more recent con-
tinental campaigns, As Col. Chesney
truly remarks: ‘‘There is a disposition to
regard the American generals and troops
which they led as altogether inferior to
regular soldiers. This prejudice was
boro out of the blunders and want of
coherence exhibted by undisciplined vol
unteers at tho outset—faults amply
atoned for by the stubborn coura
SUto “Wds” or “specie,” et£, after the I ^ye^n
’T’ by of 111(5 5 while, if a man’s claims
t, ‘°' r n w 3 dU I? ff ro? d w e r TCn 10 be re^r-ded as a veteran are to be
ter? t *n-T a v,’ °f 38 181(5 “ lbe .? lb measured by tho amount of actual fi^ht-
1865, which had ft premise on their face ing he has gone through, the most sea-
that they should be “receivable ’ at any 90n ed soldiers of Europe are but as con-
vr 5 Sl8te ,■ rr “ 13 ° r y ‘‘ ia scripts compared with the survivors of
payment of all pubbe dues.” And with that conflict ”
the further subsUntial agreement that
SUto bonds or specie would be given for
that same six months after the close of
tho war.
These notes of these civil officers thus
Uken by them during the war, and since
tho close of the war, for their civil serv
ices at “specie rates” have not only not
boeA received into tho SUte Treasury
“in payment of public dues” aspromised—
these civil officers not only have not had
SUte bonds given them for their notes
six months after tho close of tho war, or
as soon as the Legislature conld assemble
and order the bonds issued as they had a
right to expect—but they have not been
paid either in “specie” or even in “green-
backs” for tho same, while on the other
hand not only other civil offices have been
paid on their “accounts," alone, oven
eight years ago, also lawyers, doctors,
small-pox nurses, card factory men, etc.,
but even speculators and traders in this
and other SUtes, who bought up for Con
federate money during the war, the At
lantic and Gulf railroad bonds, issued by
the State, and others who got State Road
change bills, also issued during the war,
for Confederate money, worth from three,
four, five, ten or fifteen cents in tho dol
lar in specie or greenbacks during tho
war, have had the interest on their bonds
paid, and have had their notes paid, dollar
for dollar in greenbacks. Was ever rank
injustice more fully exhibited than in
this SUto of things ?
With this exhibit, therefore, and other
facts presented by me, I cannot believe
that the present Legislature will fail or
refuse to mete out to me, or the poor civil
officers of this SUto, (who had no money
to pay “lobbyists,” or “attorneys” or oth
ers to “manage” to get their just’ dues
paid by the Legislature) tho same justice
that it metes out to the rich bondholder
or tho rich speculator and trader of this
and other SUtes, who usually employ
“lobbvists.” attornevs or auents. to “man-
lobbyists,” attorneys or agents!, to “mah'
ago” for them and gel their claims paid by
tbe Legislatures.
I have already been told by a gentle
man who “proposed” to "aid” me for a
"consideration,” that “if I did not spend
money I could not get my salary paid by
tho Legislature,” and “that if I did not
employ lobbyists or others to ‘manage*
or to ‘help’ mo,” etc., “I might os well
hang up my fiddle,” etc. It may all lie
so, but I don’t boliovo it. At all ovents,
I am going to try to have one honest claim
paid by the Legislature, and I don’t intend
to pay one dime or one cent to a lobbyist
or any one else, either to "advocate” my
claim or to "manage” in any tray to have
my salary due mo by the SUte paid me
by tho Legislature. If I cannot havo it
paid by tho present Legislature without
employing or paying for such help. I’ll
lose it. Til let it rot first rather. I’ll
“pick my flint” and "try it again” next
session—not doubting but that the good
peoplo of our good old SUte, after seeing |
all tho facts that I havo heretofore pre
sented, and at tho proper time shall here
after present, will be almost, if not quite
unanimous for my being paid what I have
so well earned and claim, and what is so
justly due me.
*And how much, reader, do you suppose
it would cost Georgia at this time, per
year, to do all of us civil officers equal jus
tice and to preservo her honor? Say that
about $50,000 of theso notes are presented
and that the interest should amount to
about $25,000 more, tho interest on this
$75,000 at 7 per cent, per annum would bo
but $5,250 per year. Say tbnt tho amount
is hut $50,000 the interest then would bo
$3,500 per year. Will this $5,250 or
$3,500 appropriated to do a simple act of
justice and to preserve Georgia’s honor,
that conflict.’
The essays on Gens. Grant and Leo are
most valuable and exhaustive studies.
His strictures on Grant’s reckless sacri
fice of his troops in attempting tho im
possible by fighting the battle of Cold
Harbor, after he should have learned by
the experience of the long and butchering
battles of the Wilderness and Spottsyl
vania, that the “continuous hammering*’
in which ho had somewhat boastfully
trusted might break the instrument while
its work was yet unfinished, are both se
vere and well-founded. He calls the bat
tle of Cold Harbor "the darkest spot on
the career of Grant as a commander. •
* * It requires,” he continues,
"more excuse than has anywhere been
offered for the sacrifice. It may ho that
Grant’s usually imperturbable temper was
ruffled by tbe continued readiness in which
his adversary met him; or that ho believ
ed the confederates already so worn down
by their unsupplied losses as to be unable
to man their works; or that bo judged
that his new cummand had not been suf
ficiently put to the proof by the stem
doings of the month just past; or that
all these causes acted together. Possi
bly bo wus influenced more than all by
tbe uneasy consciousness that he had
brought tho criticism of the whole world
upon his strategy by his famous dispatch,
"I propose to fight it out on this Uno, if
it takes all summer;” for Had not this
lino been already abandoned, and no re
sult won?” Col. Chesney accurately ap
portions between Grant and Sheridan
tho merit of the final effort which forced
Lee to surrender, of which merit Ameri
cans are becoming move and more prone
to assign an undue share to the subor
dinate commander.
His sketch of Gen. Lee cannot he con
densed : “ Liko Napoleon, his troops soon
learnt to believe him equal to every
emergency which war could bring. Like
Hannibal, he could speak lightly and
calmly at the gravest moments, being
then himself least grave. Liko Raglan,
he preserved a sweetness of temper that
no person or circumstance could ruffle.
Like Caesar, he mixed with the crowd of
soldiery freely, and never feared that his
position would be forgotten. Like Bln-
clicr, lii3 one recognized fault was that
which the soldier readily forgives, a read
iness to expose his life beyond tne proper
limits permitted by modern war to the
commander-in-clrief. What wonder, then,
if lio commanded an army in which eaeli
man would have died for him; an army
from which his parting wrung tears'
more hitter than any the fall of
their cause could extort; an army
which followed him, after three
yeare of glorious vicissitudes, into pri
vate life, without one thought of further
resistance against the fate to which their
adored chief yielded without amnrmur?”
But with all this warm eulogy ho impar
tially points out the faults and failings of
Leo—how ho made no attempt to check
indiscipline; never used his authority to
purge his command of inefficient officers ;
failed to enforce on the government the
vital necessity of bringing the furnishing
of supplies more directly under his • own
control, so that his army starved in Rich
mond while largo supplies were available
had proper energy been used by the war
department; and lastly, how he so
marched his cavalry off their legs, that in
their last campaign tho Confederatcswere
left almost destitute of that most neces
sary arm. But these shortcomings, al
though tho military critic must notice
them, ore but tbo inevitable' specks on
tho bright surface of an illustrious mili
tary character; on Lee’s personal charac
ter there lingers no breath of tarnish.

UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE CO.,
OF NEW YORK.
THE ORIGINAL STOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE UNITED STATES.
This Company possesses the following attractive features:
1st. Its premiums are from liO to 20 per cent, less than tlio.ie usually charged
by other companies, thus enabling those contemplating insurance to secure beyond
contingency about one third more insurance than the same premium will secure in a
mutual company.
2d. These premiums are justified by experience, and more nearly accord with tho
existing conditions of the basis of the business than those of any other company or
ganized in the State of Now York. Their sufficiency and propriety have been abund
antly verified by tbe approval of the best financiers and actuaries in tho country.
3d. Tho Universal offers a fair, straightforward and busines3-liko contract—so
much insurance for so much premium.
4th. Everything promised in the Company's advertising documents is guaranteed in its
policy, including an equitable surrender-valuo clause, in which a stated amount of
paid-up life or paid-up term insurance is given for each year of tho policy.
6th. Losses paid iu thirty days after proof of death.
Gth. Tho Company has issued over 20,000 policies; is in a sound and flourishing
condition, and enjoying a rapidly increasing patronage.
7tl». Ample security. The ratio of assets to liabilities is 140 per cent., or in other
words, the Company has $140 for each $100 of its indebtedness.

bankrupt tho State?” Were the amount is Col. Chosney’s brief account of the bit-
$100,000 or $200,000, still would it bank
rupt tho Stato ?
Suppose my claim with interest is alone
“recognized,” then will about ($700) sev
en hundred dollars per year and about
$9,900 at the end of twenty years, paid
mo for ordinary civil services already ren
dered tho Stato, and for which I havo not
as yet received one cent “bankrupt tho
State?”
Why, on one item alone, of over $20,000
of “lost money” that I saved to tho
State and paid into tho State Treasury
when I first went-into the Comptroller’s
office, the State has already saved, with
out compounding, over $20,000 interest
alone—principal and interest to date
over $40,000. In twenty years more she
will have saved on this item alone $56,-
000 more of interest,- or about $96,000 in
all. On another item of over $60,000 (be
sides numerous other small items ot hun
dreds of dollars) saved to tho Stato by
me, the interest to date would have been
$47,000—tbe principal and interest to
date $107,000. In twenty years more
tbo further interest on this $107,000
would amount to $149,SOO more, or mak
ing the saving of this item alone $256,-
SOO. Saved to the State by mo in these
two items alone, principal and interest,
$352,800.
In my next I will offer certain facts
and calculations or approximations going
to show why I believe that the amount
of State notes now held by civil officers
for their salaries or services will he found
to be not very far from $50,000 or $60,000.

ter ending of his long struggle and match

word that the way of escape was complete
ly barred; and now there confronted him
nothing but the inevitable capitulation
“ For a moment those who looked on him
saw him almost overcome; and tho first
words of complaint ever heard from his
lips, during tho war, broke sharply forth,
‘I had rether die a thousand deaths!’
Musing sadly for a few seconds, as his
men’s favorite cry broke on his ear,
‘There’s Uncle Robert!’ in deep, sad
tones ho sad to those near him, ‘How soon
could I end all this and be at rest! ’Tis
but to ride down tbo line and give the
word, and all would be over.’ Then pre
sently recovering his natural voice, he
answered one who urged that the surren
der might ho misunderstood: That is not
the question. The question is whether it
is right. And if it is right I take the re
sponsibility.’ Then, after a brief silence,
he added, with a sigh, ‘It is our duty to
live. What trill become of the wives and
children of the South if we are not here
to protect them ?’ So saying, ho sent in
his fla“ of truce without further hesita
tion to Grant. The coming action was
stayed on tne instant, and the struggle
of the Confederacy was virtuaally over.”

dealer says to me: “How many will
you take ?’* “Says I, “A card.’ I had
aces and kings, and got an ace ia the
draw. Ike took three and Jones two,
but Brown had enough, and told tbe
dealer to help himself, which ho took
only five. There was now about a hun
dred and ninety chips on tbo board. Ike
bet one; Jones went ten better, and
Brown raised it to twenty—because he
stood pat. The dealer said that his’s was
valued at twenty more. Then said I,
“How many does it take ?” Some one
said “forty chips,” which I invested like
wise, with sixty better. They all pass
ed up to Brown, and I wanted him bad
to stay with his steel, but his sand
gave out and he passed. Says tho
dealer to me: “How many did yon
draw ?” Says I, “A card.’ ""Well,
says he, “I don’t want to lay down this
linri.l ; T will bet sixty more than you!”
Now the dealer was a stranger like ‘to
our party. He was from the country,
and didn't know much about iL p. So
I thought it was my clntritable duty to
let him down easy, and I only. called
him. “What have you got ?” said I.
“Two pairs,” said the Mr. Simmons.
Then it was my time to be sorry that I
had an ace full on kings." “But,” says
the genial Mr. Simmons, “mine is two
pairs of jacks!” Then I said, “O!”

street to look for Christmas. As I went

MANUFACTURED BY
Langdale’s Chemical Manure Company
(LIMITED.)
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, ENGLAND.
Has the following Powerful Eecommendations for Planters
It is a genuine English made Manure, the only one in tho market, and manu
factured by a company having a capital of $1,250,000, which sells 40,000 tons annu-
aUy, and has the most extensive works of the kind in Great Britain, which have
been in operation 24 years. The Eangdale, therefore, has a good pedigroc and is no
experiment.
It contains a larger proportion of chemical elements suited for tho promotion
of vegetable life, and especially of cotton, than any other fertilizer offered in the
South. It is the best and safest Cotton Manure in the market.
The analysis given with tho Manure when sold will be guaranteed. There shall
bo no mistake about tho genuineness of the article, nor the good faith of tho vendors.
It is the cheapest Manure offered, as it contains nothing but what is of use flu
becoming plant-food, or by chemical action on the soil, producing the same. The
test of cheapness is not the price, but the actual worth of the article purchased.
Low-priced Manure cannot contain efficient quantities of pure and valuable cliemi-
cal4, which can alone give woith to a fertilizer, and bring satisfactory results. Tho
Langdale is as low in price as is consistent with the use of the best ingredients, and
a fair commercial profit on its cost.
Tho employment Of powerful machinery in mixing and pulverizing the ingre
dients prepares every particle for service, and prevents trouble in using. Tho Lang
dale is unequalled in this respect, and impresses every one who sees it as a perfectly
manipulated Manure.
In its composition and preparation it is the result of careful scientific research
and experiment, confirmed by practical application for a quarter of a century. It
will be maintained at its present high standard, and is thus what planters have
long wanted—a thoroughly reliable and safe Manure.
