The following true character OF General Andrew

Department Of the Government than any one Of his
predecessors Though his habits We're entirely

individual al the seat Of Government. The State
papers which issued from his Cabinet during ms
administration, and which are remarkable for then
ability, were either written by himself or prepared
from coplous notes in his own hand. The most con-
SpCHnus trait in his character wac the energy which
he exhibited SO frequently and with such signal sue
cess in his military career; and his practical errors
such as they We're. arose from an occasional cNtc,'
of this quality. He displayed it IN civil not less
than in military affairs, and It carried him triumph
