trllectual embodiment of force il hsd
been our fortune 10 encounter. Once
since we met him n 0ur lines ltglg
Corinh where he had command II
the right wing 81 Iallccks magnh-
cent army. The same impression was
I given then, combined with Tie idea 81
nervous vitality anguariiY 81 cbagae-
ter and intense devotion 10 ahat be
had IN hand Sherman is truly 10
ldealist, even unto ianatacism. lie
outlines himself % our memory as
man q middle stature, uegyous, mus.
eular frame, with a long keen head,
sharply defined from the forehead aud
back 81 the ears His eyes have 4
bluish-gray cast, aud an utroyelted
look, but fun Of smouldeging Gre. His
mouth IS sharp and well cui tie low
y part Of tie face powerful, though
not heavy. lis complexion fair, hair
aEt beard Of a sandy red, strais Ii,
short and strong. His temperament
Is nervous sanguine, and he is fiji Of
crotchots and prejurices, which, how
eyer, peyer stand in the way Of prac-
teal results. The idea, or rather OBJ
Ject which rules him for The time,
overrldes every thing else. Round the
mouth We remember CLEAN Of sat
urnine humor, aud in tie eyes look
Of kiad.iness which would attract to
him the carosses Of children.
Such are the impressions LETT on
eur mind By the only military educa-
ted member Of this legal quartctto--
al g. whom have held commissions as
Generals - our army.
Hugh Ewing went early Into the
war, Is Co'oael Of an Clio regiment,
to which State he had returned before
the rebellion. lie wac soon promoted

palgns in the central south, and Is now
We believe IN Kentucky.
Dan McCook' 5 name has passed in
to history as one Of The most gallant
young lives offered as sacraGce TO
secure American nationality. He
was, we think, the second Captain
mustered in from this State, ii the st
Kansas Veterans, as early as the be-
ginning Of May, ell He vas an /
through lis famous Missouri campaign |
under Lyon. Ills friends here re-
member the jnbilant expression 10 /
which bis ambition gave vent when /
he FIRST left for the field: "Here's for
a ColonePs epaulets or soldiers /
grave." He knew not how prophetic
was the utterance. lie won tie FIRST
and more, and the latter is now his /
lasting inheritance Of fame After .
the regiment returned 10 Kansas, ii |
tue fall Of 1861, Captain Dan was
placed on staff duty, we believe, with |
one Of the Generals McCook, then in 7
Kentucky. Soon after be was pros.
trated with sickness. On recovering
he raised and commanded the 52d
Ohio. For long time he was ac;
ing Brigadier, participating through
all Ro3eneran's famous campaigns ii
Tennessee. lie was wounded, and
after promotion rs q Brigadier, retur-
ned 70 Ohio sick, where lie died.
