The Fate and Fortunes of the Old Confederates The Rebel Generals Are Mostly Pros- perous as Planters, Lawyers, Bust- ness Men and Politics. W H.R. in Washington Post. “What has become of the coufed | erate generals?” is a questicn very often asked but not so easily answer ed. Qnly those who have undertak en such a task can appreciate its im mensity and trouble, but if it served its purpose I shall be content. a member of the supreme court of South Carolina. W. R Milesis a cotton planting magnate on the Ya zoo river in Mississippi. Roger A. Pryor is a prosperous lawyer in New York. John G. Walker, who down in Central America as secretary of legation under Dabney Maury, died last summer. THE THREE LEES. Holmes is in Mexico mining, and, I hear, making money. Of the three Lees who were generals, Curtis— who was Mr. Davis’ chief of staff— is the president of the Washington and Lee college in Virginia. Wil lam Henry Fitzhue Lee, generally To begin with those of the high | called “Runny,” who was a planter est rank, of the five full Generals of | aud a member of congress from the the Confederate Army none survive ‘There were 21 Lieutenant Generals | years ago. in the confederate army from first to last, and of these all were from the United States army but four, | namely, Richard Taylor, N. B. For. | rest, Wade Hampton and John B. Gordon. Of them the following are living: James Longstreet, Stephen Lee, Early, Buckner, Wheeler and A. P. Stewart, besides two of those not from the old United States army meationed above. Gustavus W Smith is the ranking Major General living, and makes his home in New | York City, W. W. Martin lives at | Natchez, and is a railroad president. | L. L. Lowax makes bis home in Vir ginia, but is in the war records bu | reau here in Washington, Frank C.

Churchill has been | governor of Arkansas and lives in| Little Rock. Colquitt was governor | ofGeorgia and is a United States | senator from that state. Dibrill for | along time was a member of con gress from Tennessee. Lyon, who | commanded one of Forrest's divi-| sions for awhile, resides at Eddy-| ville, Ky. Mackall, who was briga- { dier general and chief of General | Bragg’s staff, who lived over in Fair- | fax county, Virginia, not far from Washington, for many years, died about 18 months ago. McGowan is eighth Virginia district, died three Fitzhue Lee, 2 cousin ef the others, anda famous cavalry of- ficer, owns the “Ravensworth” estate on the Potomac, about 50 miles be low Washington. He has been governor of Virginia, and is very liable to be one of the United States senators. Robert Lee, the general's youngest son, who served in the ranks of the Rockbridge Artillery a greater part of the war, lived until recently on the James River, where he owns a handsome estate. He is wore like his great father in appear- ance and manner than any of the Lees. He is now a resident of Washington. I have heard—though I do not know how true it is—that it is in contemplation by the Lees to remove the dust of their grand father (“Light Horse Harry Lee,” as General Washington alwaye call- jed him), from Cumberland Island, Ga , and bury it by the side of Gen eral Robert L2e. If I had to select the man who should represent men- tally and physically the highest type of the southern gentleman, I should choose Curtis Lee. He is a man trikingly handsome and well bred: with charming manners, and is the only one of the Lees who is unmar- ried. Turning from the Lees to Gener- al Longstreet, the ranking lieutenant general of the confederacy, the | world will be sorry to know he is getting on badly. He lives at Gains- ville, Ga.. and his home there was it. Longstreet had the confidence; of General Lee toa greater degree than avy of his officers, for, barring | Gettysburg, about which there is a wide diversity of opinion, Long-, street never madea mistake. Gen eral Early, another of Lee's corps, | ; commanders, lives at Lyachburg, is isin the practice of law and is well. | jtodo Of Gordon I bave spoken | before.

General Wheeler, who commanded all of General Johnson's cavalry when he was only 28 years old, is a planter in Northern Alabama, was a member | of the last and is a of the} present congress. General Lawton, one of the quartermaster generals of the confederacy, is a leading member of the Savannah (Ga.) bar, aud General Gorgas, the confederate chief of ordinance, died in Alabama a few years ago. colleague in member His son is a prom ising young surgeon in the United States army.

I could name others, but I believe I have mentioned tho greater number of those who are best known to the public, north or south.
