Gen. Marmaduke, who uses the YenEess 50
.roughlyton the Mississippi and Arkansas Riv-
ers, is native of Sabine county, Missouri, aud
son Of Ex-Governor Marnadnke. He% is .
graduate of West Point, and ut the commence
ment of the war was a. Iieutenant in the rcg,i-.
lar army. He was electcGf Coloael of the first
regiment raised at Jefferson City TO resist Gen.
Byon's contemplated attack on tho Capital.
At the battle of Corinth he CALAMITY distn.
guished himself while, commanding a brigade.
Gen, Marmadnle has been in battles and en-
ragcments almost without number, through all
of which he has escaped, notwithstanding be
always places himself in the very tLickest Of
tbes6eht, often compelling his staff to remain
behind him. 0fhis courage it is hazarding
nothing to say that it is impossible for a man
to be more brave; TO one unacquainted with
him it secms>like reckless desperation. When
he took command Of the cavalry he had to
contend with the greatest prejudicea but now
there is not a more popular commander IN the
Confederacy. Fit be true, as reported, that
some of the important towns of Arkansas hav-
ing again fallen into our hands, Marmaduke
will be able to move to a new field. ~
