General Wolseley's Luck

Sir Garnet Wolseley in common with all
successful men, has many bitter detractors,
disappointed colleagues. to whom nc has
been preferred, deny the prc-cmincncc Of
his professional claims Yet his most hostile
and dcprrciatory critics have been compel
led To admit that whatever he has had To do
he has done well. He has failed in nothing
81 far, according to the London World. The
Red river expedition was :; prosperous pie
mic ona grand scale: the Ashanti campaign
Il triumph over great physical and natural
difficulties: his tardv advent in Iululand
was followed by the camplete revindiralion
of our military prestige.
An examination of the CAUSES which have
contributed to this unvarying success in
War must increase rather than diminish his
soldicrly reputation. Wolsclcy uEdoubted-
~ possesses many Of the qualities which 90
to make Il good general. That he has an un-
crrin@ instinct in detecting capacity and an
unialing knack in winning the devoted ser
vice of the most capable, arc facts too well
known to need insstance But it is also
certain that he is himself far superior to his
subordinate: a better man than his best
men.
/" patient love OF detail worthy OF the Duke
Of Wellington and the wide experience it brings
hc unitcS great breadth of view. He has unimi
ted powers of work and knows well how to ami
mate others with his own eager and interchangeable
spirit. This was especially noticeable during the
time of extraordinary high pressure when the ex-
petition to Egypt was being got ready and all the
departments of the war office and Horse Guards
were galvanized into nearly hyStcrcal activity. As
Il leader in the field he has always elected high
praise. His cvcnncSs of temper, his cool calm
courage under lire. his fertility of resource when
actually in contact with the enemy, have been
testified 10 by many. Yet all these excellent and
more or less indispensable. traits are out-shadow-
ed by the great gift of having been born under a
lucky star 1t is impossible to over estimate the
value OF good fortune in war, where q single evil
chance. Il word misunderstood, q miscarried letter
swollen torrent Il mistaken road, may mar the
finest combinations and ovcrwhelm the most skill
full general with irrcparabe disaster and ruin
WolSclcy is one OF the few who can say that the
fatrs tight generally on his side.

The Floods.

MEMPHIS, April 10.-For "a hours
ending at noon the river here de-
clined 10 inches. Old steamboat
men say that by Saturday the river
will be within its banks all the way
between Cairo, Ill.,. and Greenville,
Miss.
New ORLEANS, April 10.-The
Times-Democrat's Morgan City spe.
cial says:
Tonight the gauge stands 40
inches above that of 1874. March
22nd it stood 40 inches below.
The affairs in Berwick are similar
to those in Morgan City. Only six
houses have their floors above the
water.
An infant of Mrs. McCally was
drowned last Friday. A colored
man with the small -pox was caught
in the food on the railroad, three
miles west of Berwick, and drowned.
John Lane and wife, an aged couple,
were swept away il their house, on
bayou Boutte, on the 7th, and were
drowned.
The water from the Teche is
sweeping over Centerville in a five
mile current.
YAzoo CRY, MISS, April 10.-The
total fall of the river is five feet.
The decline is not SO rapid as here
tofore, being about two inches per
day. Laborers and mules are being
rapidly transported to plan
tations in this valley, and planting
will go on witout further interrupt
