fatigue and exhaustion of the men who
were trying to obey orders and keep
their places in ranks. They had not
been used to carrying their ratiOns,
and, of course, took little or no care
of those which had been issued to them
10 last three days.
1t must be kept in mind all the time
to offset the criticisms which the RegU-
lar Army constantly make of the vol
unteers, that the officers, Regular and
Volunteer, were absolutely as green as
the men. No men, even the brigade
and division commanders, had ever
handled so much as a full regiment in
the field. There had, it is true, been
expeditions against Che Indians and
Mormons in which probably from 1.00e
to 1000 men had been assembled, buI
these were exceptional, and the men
who commanded such bodies in tie
field were regarded as endowed with
phenomenal military talent: such as
ALBERT Sidney Johnston and Persifer
Smith. In the Mexican War it was tho:
to be quite an event to move one bril-
gade along a road, and a day was suf-
fered to elapse between the starting of
one brigade and that of the one which
was to follow it. Apparently, few of
the Regular Army officers under Nc
DoweII had even seen this done; none
of them had been in command of sc
much as a regiment when it was done
They knew as little about how to march
the troops as the troops themselves did
OF how TO march. 1t is simply amaz-
ing that all did as well as they did, and
this was only made possible by the en-.
thusiasm and earnestness of the y .urs
volunteers, who felt that they were a
last being led TO battle TO overthrow
she insolent rebellion, assert the power
of the Government, and restore peace
TO a disturbed country.

mcnts of troops were observed on the

self to the eye. those not very familiar

doubt, judging merely by the eye,

The fame Of Grant must be forever

defeat he accomplished and who was
his greatest adversary. Indeed,

soldier. Whatever may be the judg,
ment Of history as 10, the relative
merits OF the two great commanders,
Grant was the victor In the campaign
of lSGi.lSG5, and his victory ended
civil war In the United States. While
the methods Of Grant and Lee were
radically different, each Of then,
knew his man." and was able often
10 calculate to nicely what the other
vas about to do. To Illustrate this
quality as possessed by Grant, one
turns to the story Of Cold Harbor. At
Cold Harbor Grant did not know how
strongly the confederates were en-,
trenched or he would never have or.
dered the attack. But he did know
what to expect OF Lee II Lee had the
men.
