A COMPLIMENT.–
5. June 2009 by admin.
“We have heard of an incident which lately took place at a review of the army of the Potomac,” says a correspondent of a Southern paper, “which should send a thrill of pleasure through the breast of every man, woman, and child in Florida. At the time when the Florida corps was passing, Gen. Hill turned to Gen. Lee, saying: ‘That is the remnant of the gallant Florida brigade.’ Gen. Lee immediately took off his hat, and remained uncovered until the Florida brigade passed. It was a compliment which we do not remember ever to have seen paid by our gallant commander of the Potomac to any other corps. Gen. Lee never pays a compliment to any person or party of men without it is deserved.”
