BES McCULLoUGH-The popular mind Is greatly
in error concerning the military aUtcceleuts II Ben
Mccullough, who j. being represented IS having
been a sort Of heroic General III some war or other.
Fairy in life he was a Texas froutiersman. and was
then certainly an excellent scout. Ere Texas was
annexed TO THIS country, he never commanded more
than q single company except fora siuy.e week. when
"A sudden descent Of CImauches 70 about IuIIanolia
threw him into the command Of about four hundred
Of the people living on the Colorado and the Guail-
loupc principally, for "A single fortnight, in which he
fought the battle Of Plum Greek; which was won by
the Texans. We do not recCliectthat during the Mexi-
can war he commanded q single company, even though
he accompanied Gen. Taylor throughout his cam
plicn and served him faithfully and efficiently As a
scout and head Of Il small squad Of Texan scouts.
Mccullough knows nothing Whatever % the details
of the science Of war, nor Is he proficient in any kind
Of drill. He Is simply - man Of undoubtei courage,
uusCrupulOusneSs and personal daring; far more IA
nous for successful exploits in the way Of getting
contracts for arms for his employers, than FOR man
aging "a large body Of soldiers with arms III their
hands. We have known him thoroughly, personally,
for t~eaty- three or tour years, having time aud again
campel with him in Indian hunting expeditions be
tween 1898 and IS43, and, since, seen him repeated
ly almost every year. His age We believe to be forty
