Albert Sidney johnson.

On Sunday the 5th day of April,
1862, johnson with eager army be-
gan his tateful fight. He handled
his ardent army with brilliant skill
and impetuosity. Whenever there
was a pause in the onward move
ment he led the charge in person.
To those who saw him that day, as
the writer did, in all the glorious fe-
yer OF that desirous success, noun
ted upon magnificent steed, the
massive figure seeming to enlarge to
a gigantic size with the ardor of the
battle, his face afiame with his in
domitable spirit of fight, he was the
ideal embodiment of the fiery es-
sence of war. He threw himself
with reckless indifference into dan
ger. And the last charge that
broke the Federal position was led
by him in person under perfect
blaze of fame and hail, his horse
shot in four places, his clothes
pierced, his boot sole cut by min

was in this supreme moment Of vic
