IN Robert Ice the same nustrrc

canism, shattered our faith in tradi-
iional respcciability, The heir Of
Washington went with the rest oI
tile new chivalry, and with ten times
the talent of that great labius, crush
cd the armies of our lesser rcspccta-
bilitics, till he met In Grant n man
without pedigree. lie was the
equal Of Wellington IN mancuverinp
great bodies of troops upon small IN
terror forces, Tho Duke Mt Water.
loo fought his whole army upon {
mile and n quarter are; but Ice, a
Cold Harbor, for five days prcscntet
a solid line of battle wherever w
sought him, till his whole force seem
cd manouvcred by the wink Of hi
eye, and every salient that he touch
ed was n corps. While the fortifca
tions at Richmond stand, his nam'
shall evoke admiration. The art O
war is unacquainted with any de.

were the triumphs ofhis engineering
the victories Of his infantry were hi
best monuments. But over the glo
ry Of his talent fell shadow as cter
nal rs his memory-the frown of
rcsolute democracy, whose sacrifc
was longer than his art.
STUART.

Prince Rupert Of the West. Forres
and Stoncman, Morgan and Griersor
Mosby and Fitzpatrick were his imi

ingness o. distance, and cmboldcnc
Sherman to tear the continent like

The fervid imagination Of Il
Southern people, demonstrated Il

cunning and the boldness of NaI

To the speed Of horse, and having hu

on the Old Dominion, died before

he that flush Of victory when rebel
