LAST GREAT

of the bloodiest battles of the war
-Murfreesboro, or Stone River.
and Chickamauga. In both of
these conflicts be encountered su-
perior numbers and was victorious
in the first and defeated in the last.
We have yet among III living
generals those who commanded in
sanguinary battles in which a por-
ton of the army of a superior
commando was engaged, but
there is not now n among the
living who commanded either the
blue or the gray in any one of the
many memorable battles of our
fraternal conflict. General Scbo-
field commanded at Franklin, and
important and bloody as was that
battle, he commanded only a por-
ton of General Thomas army and
1t was an outpost affair of the de-
cisive battle at Nashville. General
Longstreet, who is yet among the
living Confederate soldiers, had
engagements with the Union
forces at different times which
would have been regarded as great
BATTLES half a century ago, but all
such conflicts were made under the
direction of his cemmandeg. The
only independent command assign
ed to hun during the war was the
movement upon Burnside in Knox
vile, but no great battle was
fought and no C C achieved,
General Maury, who is yet living,
also commando atd Mobile at the
close Of the war, but no memoirs
able battle was fought for the
control of that city.
A generation has passed away
since the end of our civil war in
the spring of 1865, and it is not
surprising that the many me- of
both sides who led great armies in
the many stupendous conflicts of
the war have all passed away.
Roseerans was one of the young
est of the men who rose to high
command in the early days of the
war, and his life was heightened
out until the infirmities of age
wasted his vitality, and he finally
slept the dreamless sleep of the
dead because his vigor was ex-
hausted. Lee, Beauregard, Bragg,
Jackson, Pemberton, Kirby Smith,
Hood, Taylor and Albert Sidney
Johnston aud Joseph E. Johnston,
who we're the most conspicuous
of the Confederate generals in the
great battles of the war, have all
passed away, and most of them
years ago. Grant, Sherman, Sher-
ldan, Mcclellan, Burnside, Hook
er, Meade, Thomas and Hancock,
all of whom survived the war, have
gone to join the great majority,
and all Of the generals who com
manded either under the stars and
stripes or under the starsand bars,
have been resting in the city of
the silent, leaving only Rosecrans
as the surviving great commander,
and he, too, has now joined his fell
low heroes in the unknown here
after.
