Apropos of the S. ion-Schley
controversy, or rati, of the per-
sistent to deprive Schley (if his
merited share in the glory of the
naval battle of Santiago, there is
an instance of two Confederate
generals claiming the victory
after a great battle, and which
presents a conspicuous contrast
to the spirit of jealousy and am-
bitition which, is now attracting
both National and international
attention.
The niglu before the battle of
Chancellorsville, Lee, with 41,-
000 men, con'ronted the Federal
general, Hooker, with 9.'$,000.
Honker had been in position a
sufficient time to bo well entrench-
ed when Lee faced him, and his
position was thereby deemed too
strong to bo taken by a strictly
front assault.
About daylight, on the morning
of May 2, ISO:I, the first day of
the great battle, Major Hotchkiss,
Jackson. "Well, go on," said i Lee had won the victory, he seat
Lee; then with a pencil he gave | him a note of congratulations,

Baying: "General Stewart will shall of Lee,s staff says of the

to him from General Jackson.

The admiring arid reverential sub-

pallid brow of his dying lieuten-
