 $ Lander was the Murat of the war. He had the enthusiasm, the dash, the noble carriage, and the utter recklessness of danger, which characterized the French hero. He believed in the justice of this great struggle for human free
 dom and constitutional rights. Born of the people, inured to hardship and toil by long ex- perience on the plains, and deeply imbued with the conviction that it was his duty to offer his life to his country, he exercised an influence over his men that made them all as courageous as himself Despising the routine of the marti- nets, he chafed under control, and seized upon every opportunity to make war on hisSown ac- count. Had he lived, he would have achieved the highest military honors. Dying in theprime of hfe, he has left behind him name to fame that will never, never die.'' .
