All old Missourians will remember
Gen. Alfred Pleasanton, says the Globe.
Democrat of Feb. 10. His military ca
reer in this state was brief, but it was
brilliant, and it is singular coincidence
that the three brightest stars of the clos
ing act of the war drama in Missouri
should fade from view at almost the same
time. When Gen. Sterling Price began
that picturesque but disastrous expedi-
ion celebrated in song and story as
"Price's raid," it was 10 Shelby who led
him into Missouri, while it was Pleasan
ton who chased him out, and Gen. A. j.
Smith kept him on the run between the
entrance and the e.it Brave and cour-
teous old Shelby was buried yesterday,
and his gallant enemy died on the same
day, while the flowers have hardly faded
on the grave of Gen Smith.
