NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
i'' GENERALS,

The North and South present many
curious contrasts; andnot the least curious
is the couHtrast which the history Of their
respective Generals furnishes. The same
men, with few exceptions, command the
Rebel armies now that commanded them
at the outbreak of the war. Lee and
Beauregard-Hardee and Johnston
Kirby Smith and Hood--oecupy, virtually,
the same positions now that they did three
years ago. Indeed, they seem to be about
the only Generals whom the enemy have
thought fit to be placed at the head OF
large forees-and some of them are not
very fit at that. The crisis has developed
few, il any, new men the reservoir from
which they draw their military talent
became exhausted at the outset. Stone-
wall jackson was General whom events
ripened into genius, and had he lived,
the condition Of the Confederaey might
have been far different from what it is
to-day; but when he fell, there was no
one to take his place, Hor has any one
been since found. Nature after she cast
him, broke the mould.
Very different has it been with US,
Hardly one Of our original commanding
Generals remains in the field. Some have
died gloriously, like Lyon, Sumner
Sedgwick; others have failed like McClel-
Ian, Fremont, Buell., and have gone down
to rise no,more. A new generation Of
leaders has arisen--a generation whom
the exigeneies of the crisis have called
into action. The men that lead our
armies to-day were mere nobodies during
the first stages of the war. Gen. Grant
was mastering officer for the State Of
Illinois, Gen. Sherman was secuted and
scoffed at as madman. Gen. Thomas
wos ~, ~. humble commander OF regiment
in tbe Army Of the Cumberland Gen.
Dbl d III Sheridan was an obscure cavalry
ofinsr scarcely known out OF his own
regiment when Gen, Mcclellan nourlsneu
in all his glory.
These men have Won their way to fame
by the sheer power of genius, They were
educated by the war. The war made
them. They rose as they were needed,
took their places and filled them glori.
ously. They are, so to speak, the offspring
Of the crisis which has befallen the
country. They came to the rescue of
our imperilled cause at the right moment
to take the places of those who had been
tried and found wanting, as if they had
been sent to us from GoD.
And thus it has always been. In every
great war where principles we're at stake,
men especially delegated to do the work
required have been found. And they
have been found GsnsrAliv - -. 49,,
expected. They have sprung mn from from
the ranks like the Marshais of Napoleon
the product, SO to speak, of the whirl,
wind Of the conflict. When COP has a
great work to do, He always furnishes
he right man to do it. We believe He
8 doing so in our own case We cannot
Ivoid looking upon Grant and Sherman
upon Sheridan and Farra6ut--ss the
peeially appointed agents oF q higher
oower--a Power that is leading our
Needing country through trial up to
riumph.--Al6any Jour
