In view of the recent celebration of the birthday of General Lee I beg to call your attention and that of your readers to the pen-pictures of Lee and Jackson in tine best history of the United States yet written. This history Is by Mr. James Ford Rhodes, of Boston. He has given twenty years to it preparation. The title of the book Is; "The History of the Cnlted Btatea From 'the Compromise of 1860 to the Final Restoration of Home Rule in the South In 1877." He has shown (himself a historian and not a partisan. There art seven vol umes. It should be In every South ern library, public and private, and should be read by all our people. The-picture Is perfect in propor tion and In composition. It Is a com plete survey of a period that is fin ished. It Is a work of great dignity of purpose, and is rich in resources of learning and political and moral philosophy. The style, while lesj stately and rhetorical than that of Bancroft, is direct; trenchant, often epigrammatic, and always luminous. Every page bears evidence of pains taking and laborious research. Every chapter has the impress of a culti vated, thoroughly equipped mind and of a magnanimous, tolerant nature. Tours very truly, ' ZKB V. VVALSER. Lexington, Jan. 28. LCK.

I nnall return to my mother-country, he ihad the best blood of Virginia In his veins. The founder of the Virginia family, who emigrated in the time of Charles I., was a cavalier In sentiment; "Llgtot horse Harry," of the revolutloiy was the father of Robert E. Lee. Draw ing from a knightly race all their virtues, ihe had Inherited none of their vices. Honest, sincere, simple, magnanimous, forbearing, refined, courteous, yet dignified and proud, never lacking self-command, he was In all respects a true man. Graduat ing from West Point, his life had been exclusively that of a soldier, yet he in ad none of the soldier's bad habits. He used neither liquor nor tobacco Indulged rarely In a social glass of wine, and cared nothing for the pleaaures of the table. He was a good engineer, and under General Hcott had won distinction In Mexico. The work that had fallen to his lot ho had performed In a systematic manner and with conscientious care. 1 "Duty Is the sublimest word 1 our language," he wrote to his son. Sin cerely rellgjous. Providence to Inlra was a verity, and It may be truly said he walked with God. "A serious man, he anxiously watched from his station In Texas the progress of events since Lin coln's election. Thinking 'slavery as an institution a moral and political evil,' navlng a soldier's devotion to his flag and a warm attachment to General Scott, he loved the Union, and It was especially dear to hlra as the fruit of the mlginty labors of Washington. Although believing that the. South had just grievances due to the aggression of the North, he did not think these evils great enougfn to resort to the remedy of revolu tion, and to him secession was noth ing less. 'Still.' he wrote. In Jan uary, 1861, 'a Union that can only bo maintained by swords and bayo nets, and in which strife and civil war are to take the place of brother ly love and kindness, has no charm for me If the Union is dis solved and the government Is dls- nativo v ; j i (l i c !

He loVed liquor, but would not drink it. 'I am more1 afjrald of it.' he said during the war. 'than of Federal bullets.' In his mental operations he was rigidly methodical.

Jackson would have been remembered In a small circle or (Virginia as an eccentric professor. unpopular witn mis stunenis ana re spected by serious men. But he was a born fighter, and the war breaking out, when h was only 37, gave him his opportunity. One great princi ple of Inls, life had been to obey orders, and suclu discipline he im posed on bis men. Yet he won from them a love and devotion such as no other Southern general, except Lee, obtained. "Jackson had no love for slavery,- but believing that the Bible taught that it was -ordained of God, he load no question that It was the best ac tual relation for the two races. A strict but kind master to his own slaves, he requested his wife to teach two of their negro boys to read, and he himself organized a Sabbath school for Wie Instruction of the Col ored people of Lexington, In which until the war broke out. he labored with Interest and xeal. He was pres ent In command of his cadets at the exeoultlon of John Brown."' 'Awful waa tine thought," he wrote to his wife, 'that Joinn Brown might In a few mlnutesn receive the sentence, "De part, ye wicked. Into everlasting Are." I sent up .a petition that he might be. saved. v Jackson was opposed to se cession, but being a thorough State rights man. he hod no difficulty about toie duty after the decision of Vir ginia, and, firmly believing in the justice of the Southern cause, he threw himself into It with the ardor of a crusader."

This innate com monsense has brushed away so many difficulties, and solved so many prob lems, and carried . the country safely through so many ' crises, and has come to the front In so many emer gencies that It may -confidently ; b depended on in the future.

Moreover, there are to be, found individual Instances where the assertion is made 'that the negro is going backward Instead of forward ; but individual ' instances ' 6t this kind are worth no more than the Individuals themselves, fin stich eaaea you cannot argue from 'the particular to the general without; doing whole-! sale Injustice, for the facts are all the other way. r '. v The negro Is of a different race, It is true, and his Wind may fall to respond to the different processes of clvlllxation and .enlightenment; but this remains to be seeri. It has not failed to respond thus far. He seems to be getting along remaj-kably well, considering all the circumstances by which he has been mirrounded. He Is acquiring property qnlte rapidly, and in our modern civilization this faculty Is regarded, whether rightly; or not. as the hlgheslj possible test of progress. " , ' The negro Is also acquiring an edi j ucatlon. slpwly, as a matter of course, but surely; and by so much as the minds of the present generation are prepared and equipped, by . Just so much will the mlnda of the genera tion to come be prepared to assimilate knowledge. We are placed In position of ex pecting a race but a few years from the inevitable Ignorance Imposed up on it by tho conditions of slavery to make the most remarkable progress that the world has ever heard of; and when we discover that in tho nature of things this is impossible we shake our heads sadly, and, are ready to lose heart and hope..' I do not ask any one to share my hopefulness with respect to the negro, nor is It neceasary that the views I am put ting forth should be accepted. The reason that I can afford to be hopeful In the matter lies In the fact that I am familiar with the history of a county In middle Georgia, where the negroes have a majority of the population.

Southern penaie generally will be gratified bv ' the refusal of Mrs. Stonewall Jackson to accept the pen sion of 11 00 a month for life, offered her by the North Carolina legis lature. x Her suggestion that a like1 sum of money be divided among the poor wdos of Confederate soldiers is particularly magnanimous and pleasant. In thlg action Mrs. Jack son Is In accord with the spirit of General Lee, who declined to trade on his own greatness or to allow the position he occupied . In the ('on- federate army to be used as a source of personal profit. In these days of grab, when mi many people ere ready not only to violate good taste, but to forget sound principles In the presence of temptation of a few dol lars cash, such circumstances are peculiarly encouraging and should be held up as illustrations of high tone and purpose and of.th best South ern traditions, fahen we contrast Mrs. JacVsnn. declining to accept a pension on the ground that she does not need It. and that her possessions are greater than thosa fixed by law for the recipient of a pension, with the men worth millions who deliber ately swenr falsely 46 escape paying taxes to the State and city, the dif ference becomes vivid. t slderable pride, for the reason that it is the county of my birth. It may be thought that this IS a descent to the particular, but the" point I desire o J mane is, mat .me. overwueinuun ma jority of the negroes in all parts of the South, especially .In the agricul tural regions, are leading sober and industrious lives. " A temperate race Is.bouhd to be In dusrtlous, and the negroes are tem perate, as compared 'kth the whites. I am speaking, of course," of the ne groes on the farms, but even In the towns the majority of them are sober and Industrious. The idle and crim inal classes among tht m make a great show in the police court records, but right here In Atlanta the respectable and decent negroes , far outnumber those who are on the, lists of the po lice as old or new offenders. I am bound to conclude from what I see all about me, and from what I know of the race elsewhere, that tho negro, notwithstanding the late start he has made In civilisation and en lightenment. Is capable of making himself a useful member in the com munities in which he lives and moves, and that he is becoming more and more desirous of conforming to all the' laws that have been enacted for tho protection of society. .
