more. 1t gives, however, the idea OF large man,
while he is below the medium hight, straight, ac-
tive, and well-formed, and has brisk energetic
gait' significant of his firm and decisive Character
His nose is delicate and well formed, his forehead
ample, his mouth by no means devoid of humor,
and his eye the most remarkable ever saw in any
man. except Professor Agassiz. 1t is of hazel
color, clear as O morning star, and of a most in
tense brilliancy. When he looks at man it seems
as though he were literally to read him through
and through.
He has a fine physique-is stout, burly, weighs
two hundred pounds ayoirdupois, has round
head, is middle aged, black hair filing fast with
silver. He walks by the hour in front of his quar-
ters, his thumbs in the armpits Of his vest looking
mostly at the ground, but casting quick looks,
now to the right now to the left evidently not for
the purpose of seeking anything or anybody, but
staring into vacancy the while. His eyes see only
the problem before him, which, with the forces
under him, he is to work out to satisfactory con-
clusion. He is bronzed already, and in complexion
reminds one of Daniel Webster, though not SO dark
hued as Webster. Such is bis personal appear

for not driving more carefully. He laughed hear

all but impossible. The teamster had foundered
through it, and reaching the top of the bluff, and
being in sight of headquarters relieved himself of
volley after volley Of oaths, upon the creek, his
horses, the roads, and lastly upon General Halleck

If there be matters within and about this act
which might have taken the course or shave
more satisfactory to my judgment, do not a;

true principles of compensation and colonization
are both recognized and practically applied in
this act. In the matter OF compensation it is
provided that claims may be presented within
ninety days from the passage of the act. but not
