A NOBLE AND TRUE GENERALIZATION
General 9. n. Dodge arrived in this city
on Saturday morning en- route to his home
at Council Bluffs, for which place he leaves
this morning. Gen. d. entered the service
in August, 1861, as Colonel Of the Fourth
Iowa Infantry, OF which regiment our own
Lieutenant Colonel, and has remained in
the field almost necessarily from that time
to the present. How faithfully and effect
ually Gen. Dodge has served his country,
has been partially revealed in the continu-
Gus accounts given in our columns Of his
unfaltering energy and determined valor.
But the half has not been told, nor will be.
No General in the army, with the same OPP
portunities, has evidenced more fertility oil
resource, successful skill, patient persever-
ance and dauntless courage than General
Dodge. The record Of his career from the
day he assumed command at Corinth TO
his reception Of the ugly reminder of rebel
affection at Atlanta, from the effects oil
which he is still suffering, would alone sui.
6ce to furnish history Of enterprise, en-
ergy and valor rarely eQualsd. Iowa has
good reason to be proud of such q son.
We regret that pressure OF other duties
prevented our calling on the General in
person, but We learn that, though in poor
health, he is not suffering very, severely
FROM the wound on the back Of his head,
received at Atlanta, and will probably be
soon restored to perfect hea1th.-Dare,s-
port Gasette, 18th.
