PLUNKETT AND WOLESLEY.
The Battle of Fredericksburg and o*
Gettysburg.
From the Constitution.
“It’s mighty easy for General
Wolesley to talk from across the ocean
about what General Lee ought to
have done nt Fredericksburg or
about what he ought not to liavr
done at Gettysburg.”
So spoke Plunkett, as he threw his
paper on the porch floor and lifted hi.-
feet on the banisters.
“The circumstances at Fredericks
burg were one thing and the circum
stances at Gettysburg were another
thing,” continued the old man.
‘‘General Wolesley wasn’t nt Fred
ericksburg. I reckon be wasn t, if
he was be wasn’t or private. He
don’t know wlrat tire necessities of
Lee’s army was.
‘‘It was in the dead of winter.
“Tire confederate soldiers were
naked.
‘‘Snow kivered tire ground on tire
morning that Longstreets signal gun
ounded out and announced to .lack-
son that Burnsides was crossing the
river. Wolesley didn’t hear* that
gun—he was in Knglnnd, sleek and
fat and warm. lie didn’t hear Jack-
son’s answering gun which announced
ready.
“Then the bugles Mowed and tire
drums beat and tire barefooted and
naked soldiers of Lee’s army rolled
out from tbeir earth covered huts or
stretched blankets, fell in litre and
double-quicked to the heights on the
south side of the river which divided
the two armies.
“Longstreet’s corps took position
above and in front of Frcdcrickburg.
Tom Cobb, a noble Georgia soldier,
had his command behind a rock
fence that wound into the city er-
round the foot of Maries’ heights,
and there it wait that this brave man
gave up his life. I seed his horse
squat* and tremble when the shell
busted that shivered his leg. Wole
sley didn’t sec it—never seed no siclr
fighting and I hope he never will.
“An Irish brigade, the flower of
Burnside’s army, were charging the
fence when Cobb fell, hor sixteen
successive times did these brave men
make an attempt to drive the con
federates from that fence.
“General Lee rode to the batteries
on the heights, and looking down
upon the carnage in the valley, he
.said:
' ‘“I wish Burnside bad command
of the whole yankee nation and
would bring them ergin Longstreet
down there.’
“History may not say anything or-
bout this incident, but its so. I was
there—behind a log—and besides the
artillerymen told that was what lie-
said. Anyhow, I know darned well
that I know and seed er heap more
than Wolesley saw.
“Them yankecs were well dressed,
and well fed, and I might say, well
whiskied. The confederates who fit
them were naked, starved and bare
footed. When the light was over the
yankecs were stripped of every ves
tige of wearing apparel and their
nude bodies lay exposed upon the
snow covered field of battle.
“These are facts.
“Not only this, hut while Long-
street was so successful in front of
Fredericksburg, Jackson had er tor
rible tussil down the river. Some of
his men thro wed rocks to hold er rail
road cut and if ever you seed yankecs
dodge it was there.
“Lee’s army was in no condition to
cross that river and follow up his vic
tory.
“At Gettysburg the whole yankee
nation was stirred up, The confed
erates were on] their ground, tit their
doors. I don’t know so much erbout
that place, hut I know they fit and fit
mighty hard. The old soldiers said
there was er difference in invading
and being invaded.
“I love General Lee—I love his
memory. I love to hear the name
of Jacks.on, hut it makes me mad
when any little old fellow from erway
crcross the ocean says things in dis
paragement of Longstreet’s war rec
