Boy Soldiers.

The best material Of which to make
fighting soldiers is found in boys from
10 to 2l. This is the expression of old
commanders. There were many captains
in the civil war who were under 20
years Of age. There were brigadier gen
erals only 81 years old General Grant
was under 40 when he entered the war
Stonewall Jackson had won immortal
fame at 80 and died at 30. General
Sheridan was a general at 30. Fitz-
Hugh Lee was major general at 30
Alexander had conquered the world be-
fore he was 33. Napoleon became mas
ter of Egypt, crossed the Alps and
fought the battle Of Marengo at 30.
Young men make the best soldiers The
civil war was fought by young men and
boys. Knoxville Tribune.

their colleagues. but in their letters Of

tributing their desire to leave the service
not to specific complaint.

injustice and petty exactions:

orators left 1 made up my mind to outwit
them, and l have done so by bringing

them" and Lieut. Pierson pointed admir-
ingly to his new force.
Continuing. he said:
The report .hat those men who are
on army pay must live at the barracks
and must forsake home is not true. 1

Queried as to pay for the men he has
pressed into service, the lieutenant said:
They shall be placed on a commercial
