PEN PICTURES OF UNION GENERALs-U. ),
GRANT.
The form and features of this officer are too
familiar to every American home to require any
description from my pen. He was without
controversy the pre-eminent commander of the
Union army. Who ever may be assigned to the
second place in that army, the first must always
be given to L. 5. Grant. He did not arrive in
the Army of the Potomac until after we had
lost much of our boyish enthusiasm for our
commanders, and consequently he was never
received, when riding along the lines. with that
overwhelming amount of cheering that General
Mcclellan had received. Grant was fighter,
and took more interest in having his men shoot
than he did i'll having them cheer. His military
creed was bullets, blows, and battles. He never
appeared to take much interest in parades, re-
views and receptions but when the sold man.
rode along the lines the boys always gave him
a cheer Of welcome. We had full confidence in
his ability, and although our losses Were fear
fu we We're glad to know that at last we had a
commander who would not retreat after each
fruits of the victories we gained. 1t also gave
ms pleasure TO know that the Confederacy was
reeling under the fierce blows that We're rcceiv-
cd from his mailed hand. As 4 man he was
very unassumin@ in his appearance. A person
gazing at the plain man clad in blue pants and
blouse, with souched black hat, and heavy top
boots well spattared with mad, would hardly
suppose that lie was the ia nous Lieutenant
General Of the Union army. His face was I'M
shaved and usually covered With & bristling,
clipped beard about an inch in length. His only
indication of rank was the small stars gttcrn@
upon his shoulders. There was many Lieu
tenant in the army who sported moro gold lace
than did this great General. H. always looked
the same, whether in camp on The march, or in
the battle, when he was bearing responsibilities
that would crush Il giant. He WAS ALWAYS the
cool! silent. grim commander He encountered
Lee for the first time in the Wilderness He
there caught the Confedcracy by the throat and
through those long succeeding months of agony
and suspense he held on with remorSelcss
grip until treason gaSped and died. We all
love TO think of him, and the great work he
performed in saving the life Of our Nation 1t
has been fashionable for several years for Ger
tain politicians d declare tnat in abusing the
character and motives of General Grant they
We're say ing the Nation from some threatened
calamity. The boys in blue have not taken an
active part in such discussions but as we have
listened 10 these men who arr W Warlillc in
times OF peace, but who We're 50 peaceful i'll
times Of war, we can but think that had it not
been for the ''old man" who is now the object
of their abuse, perhaps we should have uo
country to save.
