General Hooker in Hospital.

I remember the first time I ever saw
General Hooker-at reception given by
President Lincoln in the year 1861-62---
q tall, handsome man, keen gray eye, a
proud, sensitive nose of the Roman
Hebraic mongrel type, soldierly and
chiva1ric bearing The imagination lin
gered on him, and looked ahead, and saw
him at the head of affairs. He had all
the qualities of good leader, except one
patience. Napoleon lacked that, too,
but he was such master that he didn't
need patience any more than the sun
needs watch, or lightning pair of
crutches.
I next saw Hooker on little cot in the
Insane Asylum Hospital, across the East
Branch, opposite Washington. It was in
the fall of 1861, just after Antietam. He
was ssmad." He half reclined, with his
well foot on the floor, and the foot which
had been shot through in battle, on the
cot I interviewed him for the New
York Tribune. ssYou can say for me,
said he, 'sthat the battle was managed
with inexcusable stupidity, and that we
ought to have driven Lee into the Poto-
mac and captured all his artillery and
half his men. And you can say for me, .
he added, rising upon his elbow, and
accenUlnS every WOfu ny pOuHdlnS Ills
crutch on the floor, you--can say
General Hooker - says
-General-H is
a-damned- y
.sShal say that, General % asked
him.
He earnestly enjoined me to say it for
him.
I scarcely remember now, but be-
Eeye did not say it. for I considered
that the man was suffering from his
wound, that he was irritable and unrea-
sonable, and very likely unjust. But
the man he mentioned never rose any
higher in rank, and was shortly retired
to a position where personal courage was
not required. I have omitted to mention
his name, for he is still living, and to pain
him would do nobody any good.
And Mcclellan, whose chez oleucre Of
Antietam, Fighting Joe criticised SO Sc
verely, probably smiled grimly few
months later, when Hooker was in com
mand and lost big battle at Chancel
1orsville, and had his right wing rolled
up like carpet by the midnight onse1
of Stonewall Jackson. Neau York Letter

second time And in still one more era
die, somewhere under the flag, the future
illustrious Chief of the
American armies is so little burdened
with his approaching grandeur and re-
sponsibilities as to be giving his whole
strategic mind at this moment to trying
to find out some way to get his big toe
into his mouth, an achievement which,
meaning no disrespect, the illustrious
guest of this evening turned his atten-
ton to some Sc yesrs ago; and if the
are mighty few who will doubt that he
succeeded.
