V THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3. 18GG. LETTER FROM L1EUT.-GENERAL EARLY. Havana, ppccrolier 18, 18C5. To the Editor of the New York News: ITavlne seen It stated In evrrnl paper published in the United States that I am an fiuplicaut for pardon, I desire to ay throueh jour columns, that there is no truth whatever in this statement. I hnve neither raa.io nor authorized such application, and would not accept a pardon from tin? President of the United States if gratuitously tendered me with out conditions or restrictions of any kind. I have nothin.tr to repret in the course pursued by me during the war, except that my services wero not of more avail to the cau3e lor which 1 fouRht; and mv fniMi In the :ntico Of thnt cause is not at all shaken by the result. 1 have not given a parole or incurred flnv ob ligation to the authorities of tho United States, and V utterly dlsclium all alleplanco to or tle- rendence upon the Oovernment of that country, am a voluntary exile from my own country, because I am not willing to submit to the foreuiu yoke imposed upon It. All declarat'una at tributed to me which tire inconsistent wUh the above statement are entirely without founda tion, and I hone that there win be no furlher misapprehension as to my position. The reports ot the campaigns of 18(11 and 18G" by Secretary Stanton and Lieutonant-Ueneral (irant, recently publitthod, contain many erro neous statements which do creat Uijutaio; to the Conledoiate urniiea. The press la the Houtn em Slates is at present elleetually muzzled by militaty rule, and the Confederate cause has no appropriate ortran bv which the ears of tho world win be reached. The time will arrrivo, however, when u tnt? history of tho warfare cnu be, written, so as to enable toreisra nations and posterity to do. justice to the character of those who have sustained so un"qual a Htrncrcjlc for al. that is dear to mail. In anticipation of thai1 time, I will cull attention to notne I nets which will t,ho v thu tremendous odds the Confederate armies had to encounter. Mr. Secretary Stanton's report slows that the available stronth present lor duty in th nrray with which dVueral (Jrant cotnm'noed the cam paign of h-iU4 wiu, oir 1st o( Jl-.iy, 1864, as iol- The Army of the Totomao (iitulitr General Mcole) 120,381 Tho 9tli Army Coins (under (jcu. liurnsido). . 20,780 AagTOKVLlO 141,100 Uesides this, ho says the chief part of the force designed to guard tho Middlu lieoartment and the Ucpartinent of Washington "wis called to the front to repair losses in tho Army of the Potomac,'' which douo' ess wiu done hot jre that army left tho vicinity of Spotsylvania Court House, as General Grant says: '"The 13th, 14th, 16th, ltith, 17th, and 18th tot jU iv, 1804) were con sumed in njanu'iivrinir and waiting tor reinforce ments from Wasuingion," and JVIr. Stanton says the r.endinir of these troops to the front cause. I the detaching lrom General Leo's army of the force under ine to threaten llaltmore and Wash ington. Tho available strength of tho forces in those Departments, on the 1st of Slay, accord ing to Mr. Stanton's report, was as follows: In tho Dpartmont of Washington 42,124 Jn the Middle Department 0,027 Agarcgatc 47,701 oi which it may be safely assumed that at least forty1 thousand men wre sent to the front, as General Grant says that, when I approached Washington, the garrisons of that place and Baltimore "were made up of heavy artillery regiments, hundred days' men, and detachments from the Invalid Corps," and, hence, it became necessary to send troops from his army to meet me. This, therefore, made an army of over 180,000 men which General Lee's army had to meet, before, as I will show, it had received any reinforcements whatever. This estimate does not include the reinforcements received in the way of recruits from voluntary enlistments and the draft, which was eternally going on, nor does it include reinforcements from the North ern Department and the Departments of the East and t he Susquehanna, where there wore, by Mr. Stanton'- showing, 15,344 available men for duty, the creator part ot whom, it is pre sumed, were sent to Grant, as, otherwise, they might have been brouaht to Washington to meet my force with more eaeo than troop9 lrom his array. General Lee's army, at the beginning of the campain-n, consisted of two divisions ot Long street's Corps, Ewell's Corps, A. P. Hill's Corps, three divisions ot cavalry, and the artillery. I commanded, at di II crent times during the cam paign, Hill's and Ewell's Corps, and am, there fore, able to state very nearly the entire strength of the army. Ewell's Corp, to which I be longed, did not exceed fourteen thousand (14,000) muskets at tne beginning of the cam paign. When I was placed in command of Hill's Corps, on the 8th ot May, by reason of General Hill's sickness, its effective strength was leBs than thirteen thousand (13,000) mus kets, and it could not have exceeded eighteen thousand (18,000) in the beginning. Long street's Corps was the weakest of the three when all the divisions were present, and the two with him had lust returned from an ar duous and exhausting winter campaign in East Tennessee. Ills etfective strength could not have exceeded eight thousand (8000) muskets. General Lee's whole effective infantry, therefore, did not exceed forty thou sand (40,000) muskets, if it reached that number. The cavalry divisions were all weak, neither of them exceeding the strength of a crood brigade. The artillery was in proportion to the other arms, and was tar exceeded by Grant's not only in the number ot men and guns, but in weight of metal, and especially in the quality of the ammunition. General Lee's whole effective strength at the opening of the cauipaitru was not over fifty thou sand (60.000) men of all arms. There were no means of recruiting the ranks of his army, and no reinforcements were received until it reached Hanover Junction, on the 23d of May. It was this force, therefore, which compelled Grant, after the tiehnnp at the Wilderness and around Spotsylvania Court House, including the me morable 12th ot May, to wait six days for re inforcements from Washington before ho could move, and baffled his favorite plan ot reachirg Itichmond. At Hanover Junction (Jeneral Lee was joined by Pickett's Division of Longstreet's Corps, one small brigade of my di vision, of Ewell's Corps, which had been in North Carolina with Hoke, and two small bri gades, with a battalion of artillery under Breck inridge. This force under Breckinridge, which General Grant estimates at 15,000, and which was subsequently united to mine at Lynchburg, did not exceed two thousand (2000) muskets. At Oca) Harbor, about the 1st ot June, Hoke's Di vision from Petersburg Joined General Lee, but Breckinridge's force was sent bacs immediately after its arrival near that place on account of the defeat and death ot General William E. Jones at Piedmont, in the Shenandoah Valley, and Ewell's Corps, with two battalions of ar tillery, were detached under my command on the morning of tho 13th of June, to meet Huntor. This ounterbalanced all reinforcements. The lore troinir btatemcnt. which fully covers General Lee's strenstb. shows the disparity of forccn be tween the two aimies in the beginning, and it was never lessoned alter they reached the lclnitv of Richmond and Petersburg, but was greatly increased. The curious may speculate as to what would have been the re-iuit it the re sources in men and munitions of war of the two commanders' had been reversed, or if Lee' streiiuth had approximated Grant's. Occupying a neutral nobltion, as between the two Federal commanders, Grant and Butler, and certainly havmir no reason to admire tho latter, 1 cannot but te amused at the effort of Grant, by the use of a tew rlai-h phrases, to make Butler the scupu- goat of all his failures. i The disparity between the forces of Sheridan and .myself in the Valley campaign was even ereater than that between Lee and Grant. M force, when I arrived in front of the toitltloa- tionsot Washington, on ine uiu oi Juiy, ia4, was aieht thousand (8000), three small batta lions of artillery, with about forty (40) field pieces, of which the largest were twelve pounder Napoleons, and about two thousand (2000) badly mounted and equipped cavalry, of which a law uortiou had been detached to cut the railroads leading from Baltimore north. General Grant pays thai two divisions of the Gth Corns and the advance ol the l'.'ih Corps arrived at Washlntton peiore I rim, una Mr. Stanton save I was met there by the 6' h Corps, a part of the 13th Corps, under General Emory, and a part of tho 8th Corps, under General Gilmore, had arrived. My force bad then marched over nve hundred miles, marching at hast twenty miles each day, except the day ol tho fight at Monocacv. "when it marched fourteen milcKand fought and defeated wauace. i At the battle of Winchester, or Openuan. as it is called by G'cnei ..1 Grant, my ellective strength was about eight thousand five hundred (8.'U0) muskets, the three battalions of artillery, and less than thiee thousand (3000) cavab y. Sheriilan's infantry consisted of the Gth, 19th, and Cook's Corps, com nosed ot one division ot ine tia Corps and what waii called tho "Army of West Virginia." borne idea may be formed ot the strength of the 6th Corns when it is recollected that thu Army of the Potomac was composed of three corps on the 1st of May pre vious, to wit: The 2d, 5th, and Cth, and tuat its eflective stiength then was, according to Mr. Stanton's statement, 120,38(i. Tho same state ment shows that the available strength of the force in tho "Department of West Virginia" on the 1st of Mav was 30.782. and most of the troops In this department were concentrated in the valley. Documents RUD'equonuy captured showed tlie streuirtn of the 1'Jtn Corps to have been, at Uio battle of Winchester, not less than 12.U0O eflective men. Tho ollicial reporta captured at Cedar creek, showed that Sheridan's cavalry, on The 17th of September, two days before the fight, numbered lD.uiiO present tor duty, ms armicry was vastly upcrior to mine in number of men nud guns. The Otu Corps alone must have exceeded my entire strength, unless tt imu met wuu uucii tre mendous looses as to reduce its btrength at leasst three-fomths. From all the information re ceived, and from documents captured at Cedar reek. I am satislicl that Sheridan's eilecuve iiilRuirv strena-th at Winchester coul l not have been le.-s than 35,000 muskets, and it was proba bly more, iiie odds asamsi me, tncrciore, were fullv lour to one, and probablv more. His very great superioiity in cavalry was very disadvan tageous to me, as tre country was very open, and admirably ii'uptcd to cavalry operations, and my cavalry, being mostly armed wiUi En field nlles without pi-tol.i or 'sabres, could not fight his, whose equipments and arms were complete. At tho fitfht at Cedar creek I had been rein forced by one division of luianiry (Kersnaw's) numbering twontv-neveu hundred (2700) mus kets, one small battalion ol artillery, and about six hundred (000) cavalry, which about made up my losses at Winchester aud Fisher's 1M1. I went Into this tight with eight thousand live humlred (8500) mnsKet", about forty pieces of artillery, and about twelve hundred (1200) cav alry, as the refct ot my cavalry, which was guard ing the Luray valley, did not get up in time. tlioucrli ordered to move at the same time 1 moved to vho uttack. Sheridan's infantry had been recruited fully up to its strength at Win chester, nnd his cavalry numbered S7U0, as shown Dy the ouicitu repniis captured, mo main cause why the route of his army in tho Tnorning was not complete was the tact that my cavalry could not compote with his, aud tho latter, therefore, remained intact. lie claimed all his own guns that had been captured in the morning and afterwards recaptured as so many guns captured from me, whereas I lost only twenty-tLree guns, and tho loss ot these and the wagons which were taken was miinly owing to tho tact that a bridge on a nar row part of the road between Cedar creek and Fishers llill broke down, and the guns and wagons, which latter were not numerous, could not bo brought off. Pursuit was not made to Mount Jackson, as stated by both Grant and Stanton, but my troops were halted lor the night at Fisher's Hill, three miles lrom Cedar creek, and tha hot day moved back to Now Market, six miles from Mount Jackson, without any pursuit at all. So far from its being true, as stated by Mr. Stanton, that no force appeared in the Val ley after this, the fact is that I reorganized my force at New Market, and on the 10th of Novem ber moved down the Valley again, and con fronted Sheridan on the 11th and 12th in front of his intrenchments between Newtown and Kearnstown, and then retired back to New Market, because provisions and forage could not be obtained in the lower Valley. The ex peditions by which the posts ol New Creek and Beverly were subsequently captured were sent out also from my force in the valley. The strong force which General Grant says was in trenched under me at Waynesboro, when Sheri dan advanced up the valley in the latter part of February, 1805, with two divisions of cavalry ol 5000 each (10,000 in ail), consisted ot nbout one thousand (1000) infantry and a few pieces of artillery, most of my infantry having been re turned to General Lee to meet corresponding de tachments from Sheridan tt Grant, and all of my cavalry and most of the artillery having been Pent off on account of the impossibility of loraging tho horses in the valley. Obvious lea sens cf policy prevented any publication of these facta during the war. and it will now be seen that I was leading a forlorn hope all the time, anu ine public can appreciate the character of tho victories won by Sneridan over me. Ihe statements I have made are from facts coming within my own knowledge, and they are maae to snow tne disparity between the Confe derate armies and those of the United States. these statements will serve to rrive some idea of the disparities existing in other lines. I now ask which has retired lrom the contest with more true glory, that heroic band oi .Confede rates who so long withstood the tremendous armies and resources of the United States, or that "Grand Army of the Union," which, while being recruited from all the world, was. enabled uy continuous Hammering" to so exnaust its opponent "by mere attrition" as to compel a suircnder T The world has never witnessed so great a political crime as that committed in the destruction of the Confederate Gov ernment by armed force. Other nations in ancient as well as modem times, have fallen under the yoke of the conqueror or usurper, because their own follies, vices, or crimes had prepared the wav for their subjugation. Many tears have been shed over the fate ot unhappy Poland, but we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that the Poles had shown their incapacity to manage their own Government i re they were consiened to foreign rule. In our case, however, the civilized nations of the earth have stood aloof and seen a brave and patriotic people .politically murdered while maintaining an uuurecedentcd struggle for the right of self-government, and manifesting at every step their capacity for it; and this, too, when, under an assumed neutrality, the re sources of men, money, and munitions of war of tnose very nations were being freely used to consummate the monstrous deed, and thereby eive the final blow to a genuine republican government in tho United States. On behalf of my down-trodden country. I make the appeal to those nations that thev will not commit the further iniust'ce of recelviiie the history of this struggle from the mouths aud pens ot our enemies, but that they shall wait until the time sLall come for placing a true his tory before theiu. In tho meantime, let all my countrymen who were iu a condition to know the character of tne contest, put in a tangible form, to be preserved fur the uso of the future historian, such far s and materials for that his tory as are in their knowleige or possession.

Tbo Land of thlg Company consists of VlO Acres, In Jk ccklcnburg county, Nortb, Carolina, 3) miles lrom the town of Charlotte, on a branch of Sugar Creek, which Rtream lurnlsbea good water-power lor grfniMng the oren. This Mine wai first opened In 1838 by a man named Car ion, who worked it successfully for a number ol years tie died In the town of Charlotte, In 184B, worth over ball a million dollars. 'two shafts bave been sunk on this property, ono of them 80 feet, the other SO feet, on different veins. averaglrg from two to three feet In thickness, which veins still continue on down Increasing in width ana richness. These shafts are in good order, anj ore can be readily taken c nt at any time. Other volns have been discovered on this property, ai.d tested, and proved to be very rich In gold. The ores ot this mine are known as the brown ore. and very rich, yieldlnir readily l per bushel. This is bo.leved to be one of the best and most certain mines In the State, on account of the abun dance and quality of the ore, ana the ee with which it obtained and reduced. This property has been worked by Majur Z. A. Qrier from 1840 to the breaking out of the war. This Company have purchased this property, and intend to erect machinery and put the mines In Immediate opeiation. The many advantages of this mine over the mines ot Colorado and Nevada can hardly be estimated. . 1 1. Is more readily reached, and hae,abunilance of fuel, with cheap labor. It can be worked all the year, and not, as In the case of Colorado and Nevada, be compelled to lie id.e for three or four months inconsequence of the severity of the winter This mine having been worked tor a long time, proved to be a rich pay log one. We do not, thereiore, have to incur the risk there Is In an undeveloped property, bat can count on large and immediate returns on the invest ments. Having an ore that readl y yields ten dollars per bushel, some estimate can be made of the value of this property. With the present imperfect system of mining in this locality, and absence ol proper machinery, ten tons ot this oie can be taken outdaily from evory shaft opened. Estimating, say fl teen bushe s to the ton, the daily yield will be fllteen hundred dollars lrom one shaft, allowing three hundred dollars per day for expenses. The net ptoductwlll be 1200 per day counting 300 working days to ihe year, the yearly proceeds will be 1360,000, which yield can be largely lucr eased by extending the works. This is considered a very low estimate of the capacity of this mine by experienced miners of that locality. The Assayer of the United btates Mint at Charlotte, In speaking of this property, says it has few eqnals In productiveness In that country, and with proper management and machinery the above product can be doubled.
