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 ord.
