The ocean greyhound st. Paul passed
the mouth Of the Christiana river and
anchored off Pigeon Point this morn

the Delaware river shore watched the
cruiser as she passed proudly out and
wondered what Captain Sigsbee would

was killed. Some OF the regiments
shared the fortunes OF The Federal
troops, and others Joined hands with
those OF the South. The Indian is a
warrior by nature, Mr.. Duncan says,
and though the Cherolees are peace

HONOR WORTHILY BESTOWED

General James II. Wilson, OF Della
ware. was yesterday nominated major
general by President Mckinley. and the
Senate promptly confirmed the nOmina-
ton. 1t Is deserved compliment TO
a man who displayed his worth in
the dark days of the civil war; OF all
the nominations sent in, his was the
only one which ELECTED comment on the
floor Of the Senate We are told by the
Washington correspondents that Sen
ator Bacon and Senator Lindsay took
occasion to speak Of him in cOmpli-
mentary terms, Senator Bacon relating
that during the war Of the rebellion he
had been captured by General Wilson,
who was at that time an officer in the
Federal army, while Mr.. Bacon was a
Confederate. He said he was therefore
able to speak from experience when ne
testified to General Wilson's capacity as
a soldier and his character as a man.
General Wilson is not only great
soldier, but he is also a brilliant man.
He has had wide experience, is known
from one end OF the country to the
other, and, in point OF conversational
charm and power, few men are his
equal His services in the field were
many, varied and almost uniform ysuc-
cessful They have appeared in print
time and time again. and require no
special comment here. Charles A. Dana,
- nd f.ft.rt
pays General Wilson a most glowing
tribute I'm the memoirs which he die
tated just prior to his death. He met
General Wilson on the field when he
was sent to the front by Secretary
Stanton as the trusted agent of the War
Department to ascertain whether or not
General Grant was competent to accom-
plish the putting down of the rebellion.
At that time General Wilson was quite
n young man, but II was his good for
tune TO ride thousands Of miles as the
escort of the distinguished journalist
who had wearied OF the yacillatine pol
icy OF Horace Greeley. The intimate
friendship then formed lasted until Mr.
Dana's death, and in his memoirs he
left a lasting tribute Of regard to the
man who was his companion during
those dark days when he held the fu-
ture OF Grant in his hand, and General
Wilson must most highly esteem the
words OF praise accorded to him by the
fearless man who returned to Washing
ton and gave the lie to Grants detrac-
tors and defamers.
We congratulate General Wilson
upon the new honors conferred and, in
so doing, We feel that we voice the SEN
timent of all Delawareans regardless
OF party ties. He is advanced in years
but as hale and hearty as most men
twenty years his junior We wish him
many years OF life and unvarying sue
cess in any operations which he may be
called upon to make for the public de-
fence in the present crisis.
