When We touch upon the subject OF
Sherman's Intelligence We fnd mind
illuminated and wonderfully expanded,
and We. unique in all its parts. A few
davssince noticed tha. the Hon. Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew. who has been so inti-
mstsiy associated with General Sherman
ia New York. said in substance, that he
had never met a man with more active
and well replenished mind
Asto the perceotioo, 40 far as exter-
nails are concerned, never knew an OH
Ger In the Geld who more quickly took in
the topography OF acountry, and when
,ncs mastered, it always remained IN his
mind as a precise and detailed mapping
OF the situation. In studies, whether
YOU tried him On the subject
OF finance. mathematics, the camp
and garrison equipage, or rations
Tor an army, scientific studies like geol-
.gy and mineraloyy his observation was
clear and keen, bis perception of differ
sucss and contrasts never failing him.
Mental energy. such as that manifested
BY the great Generals OF the past. Alex
andsr, Cesar, Hannibal, Frederick the
Great and Napoleon. have always drawn
tnter-ss and the wvuder OF ardent men,
sod this tremendous vigor of mind is
not by any means confined to military
leaders. The railway msgnates of our
sime, like Oskes Amss, Jay Cook, Jay
Gould. Vanderbilt aad others, show the
same qualities precisely Ia a different
sphere as those exhibited by military
leaders.
But IL will BE- noticed that most OF
these ursn have exhibited rise and fall,
causing at times spasmodic action; bat
usu Tx. Grant, Sherman, Thomas, sp-
reared Xix. engines always fred up with

euliar energy has been due TO the time
