THK REBEL CAPTAIN
From the Virainia cortMpondent of the Southera
Banner we clip the following inoident:
I have room left for the relation of bnt ona
incident. It i« one well worthy of notice by the
pen of the historian. In an engagement ot
Wilcox’s division, on the 24th tilt, near Hanover
Junction, Captain Norwood, Asaistant Adjutant
General to Brigadier General Thomas, beoamc a
piisoner to the y«nkees la attempting to go to
our line of skirmishers, after dark, he walked up
to the yankee line instead, and, maoh to his
surprise, found himself in the hands ot the
Philistines. He was immediately marched up to
Brigadier Gen. Cutler, and by him found to be a
hard ease, and turned over to Major Gen. War
ren, commanding the oorps then on the South
side of the North Anna River.
_ By that Geciiral and his staff he was treated
with muoit «oQvi«ajr and hcq;iitBlityj (ia the itcras
of a good supper and several juleps,) evidently
with the view of pumping valuablo iDformation
from him. But the shrewd yankee was moht
wofullv mistaken in his enstomer. After vain
efforts for an hour and a halt, adapting circuitous
and cunning questions for the purpose of eiioitir g
information respecting our forces and lines, the
yankee General desisted. As the Captain was
marehin^ off, he touched hia hac pulitciy to the
yankees, saying:
“General, is there any, other information which
I oan have the pleasure of giving you?"
“S^rgeant! maroh off that,o£Ecer, immediately!”
said Warren, while his whol« staff mared with
laughter at the cool impu»lenceof the rebel captain.
After partaking of a good supper, and being
stimulated with two or three toddies and good oof
fee, the Captain, in company with several other
prisoners, str^rted to the rear, with a strong escort
of cavalry. About midnight as the prisoners ^tero
passing a train of wagons, the Captain mannged
to put the train between himself and the gaard;
and taking advantage of the darkness, quietly stop
ped under a wa^’gon until the guard )md passed;
then jumped into the woods and cautiously work
ed his ^--ay through the Yankee aru. -. At one
time he walked straight through, a brigade ol
Taukec? lying in the road asleep; at aaoihfr he
crawled on his hands and knees across an open
field fall of Yankoo wagons. Having noarl;- ee>-
?aped, he came suddenly upon a picket ol two
Yankees.
They were sitting carelessly at their pust, and
the Captdn walked boldly up to them, saying ia
a short angry tone: »
“Wbj are you sitting on your pos*^, sir? Get
up and hold that gun in a proper position I If I
catch you stapding guard in that position aguiu,
I shall ccrtaicly report you ”
* Coloric-l, I beg your pardon,” saiu the trcm-
blinpr Yftukee. “1 di In’t think it v us any -iarai
to si;- down, sir—1 wa n't g-jing to sleep.”
“V.-?ry well sir. V/h-'rc aro the next posti-:”
‘■Ri;4bt down there, and there;” pointicg to
ihf* nearest pickets.

(ten. Koo^ri L'c..—The manner in which the
soldiers speak otGen. Lee i'^ to U3 one of the
most beautiful things in human annals. They
refer to him, says tho Charleston “Courier,”
with tenderness that is r^o riinpie and trtutlu)
that the mo^t callous heart cannot fail to be uf -
fected by tho picture it presents. Gen. Lee’s
life has been spent in the army and the la^t thre*'
years amid the rattle of musketry and the.car
nage of the battle field. He ccoupics the posi
tion of tho ablest general of this day. Ho is a
great soldier like Marlborough,' Turenne and
Wellington. How gentle mu.«?t bo that nature
which, living in such an environment as this,
has gradually and silently softened every heart
around him; which, notwithstandiug the lofty
eminence which the hero has reached, oommani-
cates itself above avery otberinfiuence, until the
great characterizing sentiment of the army to
wards Ocn. Lee ia not admiration or respect, but
love. Gen Washington did never secure any
thing that amounted to this, in degree, from his
army Wa?hingt?'n wm a lather to hie country
and his troops; but there raa « Je\iaa majesty
about hita th&t convey^'d a leelljg of a’.re, tend
ing to antagonism with the emotion of love. Thew
was reverence, but it stood at a distance. Gen
oral Lee p•1s^e^^».>s great dignity of fharacter; but
there is tc much genuine l.ind.icas in his nature
that it is ever giving itself esprefit-ion. Th.i sol
dier cannot ibrget to behave himself in such a
presence; but he knows that that dignity looks
with a sort of maternal indulgence upon the
errors of its children. With s hi«h etaodard of
dut’’, and vo’.^ to frcqucni capital punisliment,
keeping up in ti e luo t wondorfnl uauner tho
efficiency -i hi- aiJiiy, he s*.;cTn8 lik:’ cho im-
personaiicn of shsvi'y, ever rordy to oxcuse the
Bhortcomings of orlitrs Th« mcn>.r:»bl« ut»-er
ance on the thrcatenii.j^ Held of G-i.}shur'i;; “It
W'S my frvu’t,” eskibitcd a loftiness of nature that
is almosf Godlike, aad of iisolP sufficient to have
bcund to him every noble spirit in that noble
wmy. How can they help but love him—
when they see so mue.’i strength cooibiacd with
bo much u.sef^^l^e3•^—power in intimate union
with such cublime usagnanimity. Wy mpke such
a rcmrrk v:ith the profoundest reverence, but
amorg tho errat characterp, of history* we knrw
ot none that reminds us in this respect bo much
of the f.'.rent Ma'ster. wbese inherent force eonld
