served TO the close of the war. He was
but II when mustered out, and received
the autographs testimonials of efficient
service from Gems. Pope, Dodge and Rose
Grams, by whom also he was strongly rec
commended to the President for appoint
ment to the Military Academy at West
Point. During three months of his ser
vice he lay helpless and at the mercy OF
the Missouri bushwhackers, the result OF
injuries received at Lexington, Mo-, dur

scribed in the Reno Gazette" as "a de
voted student, and bears the marks of hi,
| literary tastes in his face 10 a very higf
degree. He is of dark complexion, will
| a very sympathetic black eye, and rathe
unclerical style of dress. He is an cas-,
talker, with copious flow of languag,
and a mind rather POLITICALLY inclined. Hi
sermons are logical as well as full O
