Gen. John Ii. Gordon.

An old soldier writing his rec.
elections of Gen. Gordon, con,
cludes an article thusly:
"These three incidents | re,
member well-there are others
not so prominent. He was the
most splendid officer [ ever saw
on the battlefield say 'splen-
did and | mean it, just as | would
say John G. Breckenridge was the
most 'suberb. OF course 'Marse
Robert Lee classed by himself,
for God only made one of him,
and ones enough since Christ
came.
General Breckenridge was the
handsomest man | ever saw, eth
er on Or off a battle field. 'Marse
Robert Lee was like a mountain
peak on which the sweet sun
rested, but the stars were very
near to it, and the blue sky bent
around it beautifully. Gordon
was the shining scimitar which
the war-god welded when he cleft
his enemies. He dressed for bat
tie as others would dress fora ball,
and when the boys saw his clean
gauntlets and his shining epaulets
on him, they ate their rations, lest
they should die before they had
chance to finish them.
"He was sober, discreet and
gentle. I have seen him walk
while a footsore private rode his
horse. Pure as Sir Galaha,
knightIy as King Arthur, he was
as brave as Launcelot and gentle
as the dawn. His face grew white
in battle, and the scar on his cheek
grew red or purple, his eyes blazed
and Gordon's brigade stood ready
to die in their tracks, -
