Then, he must have not only an intl mate knowledge of tbe geography and resources of the theatre of war as mans and books give them, but ao instinct for topography and an unerring facul Tbe orator, Col. Archer Andersen, at the unveiling eeremonies said : "Fellow Citizens : : A people carves its own image in tbe meoumente of its great men.- Not Virgin Uns only, not only those who dwell in tbe fair land stretching from tbe Potomac to - to vtbe Kio Grand, but allwho bear tbe Amer ican name may proudly consent tbatl posterity - shall judge them by the structure which we are here to dedi cate and crown -with a beroio figure for. as the Latin poet eaid that wher ever tbe Bona an name and sway extend ed, there should be the sepulchre of Pompey, so to -day In every part of America tbe character- ana unrfe of Bobert Edward Lee are treasured as a possession for all time.'

Individual men lute a single mass of martial ardor, all these gifts may be present, and tbe true commander absent. Politicians have had these gifts, soldiers even have had these gifts and utterly falle J In the command of armies. To all these rich endowments there must be added an Impurturable moral courage egual te any burden or buffot or fortune, and physical lntrepedity la its highest ana grandest forms not only the valor which conies a division commanaey under orders with over mastering rush to some desperate as sault, like Cleburne's at Franklin, or makes him stand Immovable an a stone wall, as Bee saw Jackson at Manassas, but an aggressive and unresting ardor to fall on the enemy, like that wbiob burned In Kelson when he wrote ( win ngric tnsm the moment I can reach their fleet, be they at anchor or under sail. I will not lose one moment in fighting tbe trench fleet. I mean to follow them if they go ta the black sea, not a moment shall be lost In pursuing toe enemy. 1 win not lose a moment In pursuing tbem to action." With this fierce passion for fight, tbe general must uoite tbe self-control which will refuse battle, or calmly await attack, and, ioot least, tbe forti tude wmcn can rndiire defeat. For ty for finding the way by night or day I weeks and months be most be ready at IkuH 1- A S. ..J d.lj II - I I al.a a any moment or tne day or nit,ht to draw on these vast resources without ever showlog Weakness under the pro tracted strain. ''"'..- And over and above all (here must warn them that tbe art which won em pire can alone maintain It, we forget the selfish ambition, tbe petty foible, the chilling life we remember only tbe valor, tbe oonsumste akill, tbe superhuman constancy of the bero-klng or, 11 turning irom a career so clotaed with final triumph, we recall how, for lack of a like commander, Frauoe. in Vour own day ha been trampled under through forest and field usually to be met with only In men who pass their wnoie lives in tbe open air. To this. add a complete acquaintance with all parts of army work and organization. a very genius for detail, an artillerist's engineer's with a wide and critical comprehension of. all the great campaigns of. history. . But he must koow human nature, be must be wise in bis judgment and selection of bis own ageule, and especially, must he be skilled to read his adversary's mind and character. Unon this varied and profound knowledge will depend the success of those large plans embrao log the whole theatre of war which foot, we may may conceive tbe devo- soldiers call strategy. Uon with which Frenchmen still crowd about tbe tomb of .Napoleon a name that, in spite of all its lurid associations, in spite of all tbe humiliations of the second empire, bos still bad power to lift tbe French nation during these lat ter years from abasement and despair. Surely, there must be something super- numan in the genius or a great com mender if It can make os forgetful of tbe woes aod crimes so often attending it. now rreely, then, may we lavish, our admiration and gratitude, when no allowance has to be made for human weakness when we find military great ness allied with noblest pub lie aod nri- vate virtue. Here, at last, lu I bat ideal union is mat rare greatness which men may most bonor in their fcliowmee. It is tbe singular felicity of this Com monweaJth of Virginia to have pro- auoea two such stainless captains, tbe iame 01 one. consecrated by a century of universal reverence, aod the growth ofacoloaeal empire, tbe result of bis heroic labors, has been commemorated in this city by a monument, la whose majestte prreeac no man ever received tbe suggestion of a thought that did not esait humanity. The fame of tbe other, not yet a generation old, and won la a cause which was lost, is al ready established by that impartial jtfigoieot of foreign nations which an ticipates the verdict of too next sge, vpni an equal pinna), and millions of our countrymen, present here with ua ia tbeir Uiou.hu aod. ecboioz back Now, eombioe all these elements. conceive of them as expended into ge nius, and yoa may form some idea of tbe merely io lei lectual equipment of a great commander. But he might bate all this and be fit only to be chief of preside some Jod-like power, which. m toe crisis 01 strategy or tns storm or battle, not only preserves to the com mander all these high faculties, but actually Intensifies and expands tbem, In those irrevocable momenta when the decision or aa instant may deter, mine the destiny of State, mere talent must spring Into genius, and mind and outward eye send flashed of Intuition through tbe smoke of bottle and tbe dark curtain, on, which, .the enemy's movements are to be read only in fitlul shadows. In that hour of doom, a na tion's Into, a people's ransom, may be staked on ooe man' greatness of soul. It is tbe recognition ia Lee of the principal elemenU of this high ideal courage, will, energy.
