2 — BRIG.-GEN. STEWART L. WOODFORD. e To the Kiditor of The N. Y. Tribune . 4 A Stw: Permit a Southorn Loyalist, who has 1o politiea! ‘ax to grind,” but who simply desires to odfl his un- biased testimony, and state s fegiimportant dote @ o~ | 4,2 tiay, fation t@the civil sud military cateer of the £'iled and @ soldier whom your Siate proposes te Lonor wad brilliant apd. b ia behalf of tzn‘pml Bumat m Stewart L “Woodfera. ‘Two motives prowpt me to this undertaking: et strict meuse o duty a5 a loyl citizen, rwadeclng it " incumbent on each individual at this truly critical junce e in political afffies not to loave undone or uitold any- - - thing which canin the slightest mannor aid the saorsd b of freedom, or help checkmate the nefurious designs r arch traitor’at Washington. Recond, to ren- ‘doc oredit irhere great credit is due, and likewise to bring ‘to-the light, and open at this auspicious momout, a leaf or two of the military bistory of the modest subject of this . #keteh, the next Lioutenant-Governor of tho glorious Em- ' :nmomo..m. No feeblo eflort of mine can elovate - ‘aamo of yonr able cindidate in the opinion of the _ foysl men whose wisdom and patriotism have induced “ them o make 8o excellent a sclection for thoir standard- £ an the groat conflict of idea now, being vigoroasly zfls but should@his b stily written sketch tendto re- tho base slandets of the Coyper-Johuson calumniators » *mad strengthen the faith of Unionfsts who intend,to de:) f ir ballot for Gen, Woodiord, in‘his stanch integ- e llfi‘ wouderful administrative powers, undaunted deterini- . malion and patrioti-m, keen sense of duty aud justice, and sterling moral worth, then my sole aim will huve been ac- « wouplishod. + ¢ Brig.<Gen. Stowart Lypdon Woodford was born in New- otk City, September 3, 1530, Eutering Columbia Col- 8t the carly aze of sixteen years, his romarkable pro- . as o seholar and unexceftionable moral deposment #00a won tho praiso and admiration of his tutors'aud class- and in 1854 he graduated with distingnished hon- i 1 “ors. Entoring the offico of Messrs. Brown, Hall & Van- (¥, * @erpooi, ho commenced the study of law,and v as adwitted $0 practics in 1857, At the bar, his sigual ability soon - Mhun in the front rauk of his profussion, and he was »" ewcoguized as ono of tho most promising wembers, while * hispopularity kept step with his succe-s as a lawyer, and both must be attributed to his indomitable enerzy and in- dustry, coupled with that natural gracesand geuislity of menner which wins friends and disarms enemies. Gon. + “Woodford's eutrance into the political arena dates back = only to the spirited and important Presidentiul canvass of 2860, wion be gave up a wost ‘lucrative and rapidly in- ereasiug practice to aid in the glorious canse, for the.do- fonse of whish he has siuce risked bislife. He was a momber of the historic Convention that neminated the 'lamented Lincoln, and, during that memorable’ eampaign, ! his talents and cloquenee wero constantlyg employod for the sdvsuement of tho envce of Re- publicanisn; end, in recogvition of valuable servicos, bo was upanimonsly elected Mossonger of " oalie Elsctoml College to convey its voto to W ashingto. Junvary; 1361, the Youog Men's Ropublican Commitice, * of Now-York City bonored him with the Chairmanship ot that organization; and in the following April, on the IS urgent rocommendation, of tho members of the State Eleetoral College, he was“appointed Asaistant United Statos District-Attorney for ihe Southern District of New- v, Mork, illingthe important position to the i ceeptance of oll pastics. At the breaking out of the Rebeilion, ‘Woodford was assigned to the charge of thet dificult burean of the office .h'u-h controlled tho valunble scizures mado undor the Blockade act;'nd it was here amid the . lintricate and embarrassing entanglement of knotty points, that his supcrior and impartt his Judgment and legal acumen ‘wors displaged to grest advantage: mo case, howerer labs- I rinthins, appearing®to porplex bim in soiviug®t rapidly. Ia shis dolicate aud important position, he continued to ‘yonder essential service t'Gorernment vntil the sad nows .eame of the repulse of our army uider McClellaxon the Peniosuta in)1862; whon, tnspired with' the ardor of pa- " triotism, be atvomce resizned his lucrative positon to esgume the more arduous and perilons daties of n solli Dbolieving that the hour bad arrived when his counts, 19 overy arm to be raised ia its defense on tho battic- Joimng an infantry company 68 a private, ho vas ‘s00n promoted from an enlisted man to the rank of Captain, .. being nnanimously elocted to fill that position... Tho com- pany was shortly aftor attached™to the gallant 127th New- “York Volnateers, oommandod by Col. Quruey ; ond bero agnin tho ability aud universal popularity of the®sotdier ‘enused him to receive tho Majorshipof his regimont, a1dg prior to lus departure for the seat of war, a siiver leaf graced his worthy shouldors : and, thus honored, atsthe head of his command, be merched to battie, his first sertico being in the defense of Washing- ton. .during = the Winter of- 1862 and 1863 From Washington, the regjment proce sad was under the command of Col. Weodford during the memoreble siego by the Rebel Gen. Longstrect. Tho briof space at my command forbids my attempting to go Justice to all the military exploits of Gen. Woodford during the war, but I may briefly state that in the De- partment of the Sow:h under the moble Gillmore, be achioved the most brilliant succsss. In the operstions against Fort Wagnor and Chorleston, be commanded his _ vegiment uatil oxdered to take eharge of all the land bat- ““Sories, snd was subsoquently intrusted with ths exchange of all prisoners in Charleston Harbor, To illustrate the * ebaracter of the man fit is only necessary to state that learning of Gen. Foster's projected expedition in “Novembher, 1364, to sevor the connection of the.Savannah and Charleston Railroad, Col. Woedford immediately sskod to be relieved from post duty, and applicd for per- 1ission to rejoin his regiment,.which was to participate in the movoments. At the bartle of Honey*Hill, Lieut.- Ool. Woodford’s gallantry challenged the sdmirationsof all who witnessed that bloody struggle®while atthe battle of Coosawhatehio, where'tho brave Gurney was wounded, tho regimont was lod through the conflict by Col. Wood- ford, and, in the words of his commanding officers, by his coolness and courage, he eontributed,largely to the suceess of the day.” Again, st the:battle of Tullifinny. Col. Sulitvan, commanding the brigade, was quite severely woundod early in the fight, and the commaad devolved apon Col. W., whose conspicuous , gallantry and skill won the admiration of the troops, and induced Gen, Foster to strongly recommendchim for promotion to the full rauk of Colonel. , . 1 Just bofora tho cessation of hostilities, Col. Woodford ‘was appointed Provost-Marshal-General of the Department of the Soith, which then®embraced tiie States of South Caroling, Georgia and mx'm-, and shortly after was assigned to the very important position of first Military Governar of Charleston. Few of your readers can form m coneeption of the innumerable obstacles that and beset the first militory. administrator of that botbed of treason. o govern & half-starved, humili- ated, and embittercd people, and exerci ch & control over the troops and citizens as would protect the rights of both, wasno ordinary task, to say nothing of the facuity and administrative capacity required 1o save the populace from uttor famine and sore distress, Euntering the war- desolated city, with its smoldering ruins'on every side at- testing tho fury of loyal smmunition, witheno la istenco to govern the people and punish erimin 800a restored order out of chaos, set the wheels of system in ruuning order, giving etire satisfsetion to_ every- * body, aud inspiring the Dearts of the most venowous Se- «eessionists with » respecs for the Government which bad * ‘memt such s magnanimous officer to rule over them.3 1eannot dismise this portion of my narrative without _ allnding briefly te the remarkable success that attended Col.
