McClellan's army coming south from
Virginia. General Buell. was born in
Lowell, Ohio, March %, 1918. He was
educated at the United States Military
Academy and won a reputation for valor
and ability in the Mexican war. At the
beginning of the civil contest, he was
appointed brigadier general OF volun-
teers, and spent sometime at Washing
ton, in organizing the green troops
pouring TO there in the summer Of 1861.
Early In 1862 he was sent TO the West,
and wac placed in command OF the
Army OF the Cumberland, then assem-
bling at Bowling Green, Kentucky.
After the capture OF Fort Denelson, he
followed up Johnson'S retreating army,
and reached the battlefield Of Shiloh In
time TO save Grants Army OF the Ten
nessee from destruction. When Bragg
organized his army for the invasion OF
Kentucky, in the summer OF 1862, Gen
eral Buell. was sent 10 oppose him. HIS
march from Tennessee to the Ohio was
one Of the most brilliant In the history
of the war, but the want OF energy dis
played al Perryviile, and the subsequent
efforts to prevent Bragg from retreatng
into Tennessee, led 10 his being super
seeded by General ROSecraL2. He was
mustered out OF the volunteer service
in 1864, and resigned from the regular
army the following June.
General Buell. was pension agentGt
Louisville during Cleveland's first term.
de has been interested in iron works,
and other enterprises where his engIn-
eering skill is OF great value. He Is
personally most amiab.e nan, an able
soldier aud every respect gentleman,
and his misfOrtuneS were due 90 circum-
stances over which he had no control,
rather than to want OF ability.
General Jacob DoSon Cox was one OF
the most brilliant OF the many volun-
teer officers Ohio sent INFO the army,
from 1861 10 the close OF the rebellion.
Although his parents were Americans,
Cox was born in Montreal, on October
o.. lS2S. his childhood and early
youth were spent in New York; the
family moved to Ohio In 1916; be grad
dated atOberlin College In 1851, and was
admitted TO the bar In 1853. be was q
member OF the Legislature when the war
broke out, and was made q brigadier
general and assigned TO the command
OF the Kanawha regions in eastern Ken
cucGv and West Virginia. Here he
succeeded In driving out the Con-
federates, under Wise, from eau
lev Ridge. he distinguished him
self az the battle of Antietam, and,
when General Reno fell, be was assign
ed TO the command Of his division and
subsequently promoted to the rank OF
full major general. His record in the
Atlanta campaign, under sherman, and
subsequently at Nashville, under
Thomas, when Hood was defeated,
marks him as a soldier OF unusual aoili-
". In 1865, when Grant became Presi-
dent. he was appointed Secretary OF the
Interior, but resigned after one year.
He served some time in Congress, but,
although better equipped for public life
than many men who occupy the high
est positions, be has devoted himself TO
the bar, and TO the direction OF large
corporations. Gsneral Cox is hand
some man, OF fine ADDRESS, and looks
the student and the scholar rather
than the brilliant soldier that he was.
be is at present a resident OF Cinein-
pati.

ant in the First Pennsylvania Nolun-
tonrs and served with great credit DUR
