For us, as a Christian people, there is now but one course to pursue. We must accept the situation ; these men must go home and plant a crop, and we must proceed to build up our country on a new basis. We cannot have recourse to the methods you suggest." I remember being deeply impressed with Alexander's comment, as he repeated these words of Lee. They had evidently burned themselves into his memory. He said : " I had nothing more to say. I felt that the man had soared way up above me, — he dom...inated me completely. I rose from beside him; 11 silently mounted my horse ; rode back to my command ; and waited for the order to surrender." Then and there, Lee decided its course for the Confed- eracy. And I take it there is not one solitary man in the United States to-day, North or South, who does not feel that he decided right. The Army of Northern Virginia, it will be remembered, laid down its arms on the 9th of April. But General Joseph Johnston was in command of another Confederate army then confronting Sherman, in North Carolina, and it was still an open question what course he would pursue.
