I The formation .of an tinny with I the mentis alone at his disposal was a eolosvitl task, Kvi rytliing had to be created by this tf ranrJiintry man. The South w as an agricultu ral, not a manufacturing country, and the rertiurces of .foreign lands were denied it by the blockade of lis port maintained by the fleet of of the United States. Lee was a thorough man of business, Yjiiick in dooisig'i; yet methodical iu ,a!l he did. Ho knew ' wiiat an army should be, and how it should be or ganized, both ir, pfrcly military as well as an sulmiiiistriitive sense. In about two m. nil lis he had created a liltlo army of fifty th jiistind men. animated by a lofty patriotism and courage that made them unconquer able by any similarly constituted army. In another month, this ar my at. Hull's liun gained a complete vietofy over the Northern invaders, who were driven back across the Potomac like herds of frightened sheep. As the federals ran, they (arms, iniuniiiiiliuii, and equipment then taken were real godsends io those engaged in the organization of the Southern armies.
