General Banks,
WAsUINaToN. Sent. s. 1850.

We are among those who, from the be
ginning of this war, have believed that
among all the Generals, the civilian Bank,
had the most brains and the most genuine
military genius; and we say to-day thai
stranger things have happened than the
placing Of this man at the head of our o.
mics OF volunteers wonld be. The men oi
magnetic powcr--the men who can inspire
large armies with their own heroic and gal
liant spirit--the men who can command
who are natural captains, carrying their Gre.
dentials in their faces and vOices--the meu
who, having science, have something higher
and better, inspiration, intuition, selfcon
troll and will that knows no obstacles
such men are few. But such man rs thi,
into the war that he would keep his record
clear, and he has done it. From the first,
he has been kept in subordinate positions,
yet it was his duty to obey, and he has
obeyed. President Lincoln says he has new.
or given him any trouble. He has quietly,
unostcntatiously, faithfully done his duty.
At baltimore he maintained the peace oI
tho city, gnd WITHOUT buster. When, for.
saken aud despoiled of his troops by, The
Government, he was obliged with his little
tie torce to flee before, StOnewall jackson,
he brought off his train and saved his men.
AT Cedar Mountain, he bravely fought the
battle that kept the national capital from
being to- day in the possession of the rebels.
The terrible check he gave thom there gave
US the time we wanted. Again he cuts his
way out with his entire train, and brings
everything in safety TO join the forces Of
Pope, from position which was regarded
as almost fatally dangerous one. Always
equal to every emergency, glorious alike In
victory or defeat, maintaining the enthusi-
astic confidence Of his men, he has shown
himself in tho highest sense Of the word o
military man, aud the ,possessor Of ell the
qualities necessary to . leader.
