public tranquility, and destroy, perhaps for ever,
the cement which binds the Union.'

rebellious troops by the terror of his pres
cnce and his indomitable will, he at last,
with smile of triumph, saw his column
winding over the consecrated grounds of
the savages. Soon his battle-shout was
heard rising over the cracking of burning
villages. Kings, prophets, and chiettans
tell under his strOhes; and crushing towns,
villages, and fortrcsses under his feet, he
at last, with one terrible blow, paralysed
the nation for ever.
Indian warfare presents none of the
pomp and grandeur of great battle-felds,
yet it calls out cquclly striking qualities,
and often requires more promptness and
sclt-posscssion and greater mental resour-
ces in a commander. Especially with
such an army as jackson had under him,
the task he accomplished was Herculean,
and reveals a character of vast strength
and cXecutvencss. That single man,
standing up alone in the heart of the will
derness, and boldly facing his famine
struck and rebellious army, presents a
scene partaking far more of the moral
sublime than Cromwell selling rebel from
the very midst of his murmuring band.
His gloomy isolation for whole win
ter, with only few devoted followers, re-
veals tixedness of purpose and grandeur
Of character that no circumstances could
affect. Inferior to the contag:on of fear
unaffected by general discouragcment,
equal in himself to every emergency, he
moves before us in this campaign the en-
bodimcnt Of the noblest qualities that dis
inguiSh the American race.
