Early War Enlistments,

1t ls almost impossible now, says Colo
rel Higginson In the Atlantic, to re-
produce the emotions Of that period of
early war cnllstments. AS ventured to
say in tho preface to Harvard Memorial
Biographies, '"Io call it a sense of novelty
was nothing; it was as if one had learned
to swim in air and were striking out for
some new planet" All tho methods, stand
ards, habits and aims of ordinary lifo
were reversed, and the intrinsic and tra-
ditional charm of the soldiers life was
mingled IN my own case with the firm
faith that the deathkncll of slavery itself
was now being sounded. Meanwhile, the
arts of drill and the discipline were to be-
learned in practice, and tho former proved
Incomparably easior than had been ex.
pectcd. Ii turned out that there was no
department of science in which the Gle.
lnents were 80 readily acquired. As to the
exercise of authority, however, it was
different. 1t was no longer possible to
view n command only Gin the light Of
suggestion" Moreover We were dealing
with democratic society, on which Ia new
temporary aristoGraCy of military rank
was to he built superseding all previous
distinction, and the task WAS not light
