two was very marked. Gen. Taylor

without staff officers, and when be
was accompanied By them there was
no prescribed order in which they
followed. He was very much given to

verse in all these particulars. He al
ways wore all the uniform prescribed,
or allowed by law; when he inspected
bis lines word would be sent to all
division aud brigade commanders in
advance notifying them Of the hour
when tie commanding general might
be expected. This was done SO that
all the army might be putunder arms
to salute their chief as be passed. on
these occasions he wore bis dress uni
