Ns5CoMpLIMENT TO A VALLEY SOLDIER.
The subjoined extract from Gen. Har-
dee's admirable biographical sketch OF
Mai. Gen. Patrick X. Cleburne, publish
ed IN the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, con-
tains deserved complimentto one Of our
Valley boys, now resident Of Baltimore:
lie was as modes: as woman, but
not wanting in that fine ambition which
ennobles men. Simple in his tastes and
habits. and utterly regardless OF personal
comforts, he was always mindful OF the
comfort and welfare of his troops. An
incident which occurred al Atlanta Illus
,ra,es his hsbitual humanity to prisoners.
A captured Federal officer was deprived
olhis hat and blankets by a needy soldier
of Cleburne's command, and Cleburne,
falling TO detect the offender or to recover
the property, sent the officer hat OF his
own, and his only pair Of blankets.
Among his attachments was very
strong one for his Adju;sn,. General, Cap
tain Irving 4. Buck, boy in years, but
man in all solIerly qualities, who for
nearly two years ofthe val, shared Gle
burne's lsbors during the day and his
blankets al night
