ROsecrans at Chickamauga.-
Frederick at HOchkirch.

Military cri tics, whose experience entitle
their opinions to weight, have considered
Rosecrans the most military General tina
we have. His conduct throughout this war
especially his manipulations Of his troops
prove that he understands his business pro
tessionally. His conduct in this last battle
so nearly resembles that of Frederick tn,
Great at Hochkirch, that it is worth while
to signalize roughly the comparison. Maj
Gen. Thomas likewise played his part with
as much zeal, discretion and courage a!
FredeIick's Lieutenant General, De Ziether
whose prescience and intrepidity saved the
Prussians from a greater disaster. Daun
had 10000 men, Frederick 5000. The
former took advantage of Frederck's conf
dence to deal him "malicious blow" He
attacked him by surprise, October II, 1888,
in mountain region, and, with loss Of
about 5000 men and five Major Generals,
Gust the number the rebels are reported to
haye had killed, J drive him from his position,
with loss of 1000 killed and l0l cannon.
Yet, Notwithstanding, the King made such
a magnificent retreat that the Austrlans did
not dare to renew the attack. In a few days
the Prussian army was as formidable as be-
fore the battle. Such, too, was Frederick's
vigor aud activity, that, despite this reverse
and its attendant consequences, be was able
to raise the siege of Nelsse, drive the Aus
trians out of eiisia, relieve Dresden, be-
sieged by the victorious Daun in person, and
force him to fall back across his own the
Austrian) boundaries. With this analogy
to Frederick, let us see if Rosecrans can EN-
ulate his after energy.
There is scarcely battle which has been
fought in this war to which parallel cannot
be produced from scientific mill tary annals,
and so surely do historical events repeat
themselves that no battle can be fought or
man9uvre be carried out for which paral-
lei, more or less close, cannot be found in
the chronicles of war.-N Y. Times.
