Mai.-Gen Jame. b. Mepherson.

The splendid Army of the Tennessee,
the army which had begun its career
at Belmont and crowned it with the
capture of 10000 prisoners and the
great stronghold of Vicksburg, was
commanded by the brilliant young en-
gineer, Maj.-Gen. James B. Mcpherson,
who had been part of the army since
DoneIson and Shiloh. Gen. Mcpherson
had risen from young Captain of En-
gineers at the beginning of the war to
Major-General commanding the army
by such daily demonstrations of his
ability as made the question Of this
remarkable promotion accepted by the
whole army as entirely deserved and
appropriate This was astonishing. In
any other army the rise of young man
as rapid as had been that of Gen. Nc
Pherson was attended with much jeal-
ousy and bitterness. but everyone In
4 the Army of the Tennessee seemed to
heartily approve of every promotion
given Mcpherson, and to sincerely re-
joice when he was made Sherman's
Successor in command of the army.

Maj.-Gen. George H. Thomas.
Gen. Sherman was particularly for
tunate in the lieutenants who COM
manded the three great divisions Of his
army. In the center, commanding the
Army of the Cumberland, with an ag-
gregate present for duty averaging over
$4,000. was Maj.-Gen. George II.
Thomas, an entirely fitting commander
for magnificent body of battle-sea-
soned veterans. The Army of the Cum
berland could boast that it had never
lost battle. 1t had begun its career
under Gen. Thomas with the brilliant
little victory Of. Mill Springs, and its
banners blazoned with the proud in
scriptions of Shiloh, Perryville, Stone
Missionary Ridge. Tho he had only
actually commanded it for few
months, Gen. Thomas had been the
soul Of the army from the first, had
largely shaped its formation, and its
men and officers represented his solid.
steady. quietly aggressive character.
Tho a Regular of the Regulars, Gen.
Thomas at once won the affections of
the volunteers under him by his quiet
unostentatiousness and unfiagging en-
ergy in pushing forward the work for
which the men had enlisted. He was q
rigid disciplinarfan. and the Army Of
the Cumberland was noted for its disci-
pline. But no one ever heard of the
clamor and shrieks that came from
other armies in the process of making
Regulars out of volunteers. Thomas
and those under him made the raw
recruits they received thoroly under
stand that organization, discipline, sub
ordination and drill were absolutely
essential to their efficiency as soldiers
and to secure the objects in view When
the men understood them they submit
ted to everything with the greatest
alacrity. and went into drill and disci-
pline with enthusiasm. Thomas was
as grand, well-rounded a soldier as
ever appeared on the battlefield. No
storm of battle could shake his COM
posure, no cyclone of disaster check
his resolute pugnacity or start his. re-
treat until the victory was won. Wher-
ever he led men they had the most un-
bounded faith that 1t was to success,
and they would win before they quit.
The confidence that he inspired in his
men was the more remarkable, since it
was devoid of any of the usual devices
by which commanders encourage their
men, There was none OF the fire and
fury of Sheridan, the intense eagerness
of Sherman, the theatrical showines;
of Napoleon and Murat. In some psy-
chologic way, however, he iafused into
everyone around him his own quiet,
but resistless earnestness and uncon-
qUerable determination to win.

BIRTHS OF GREAT MEN.

The editor oil the News received

ton Is one OF the best edited IN the

feature OF the issue received, was
an editorial on the curious who
trace out the dates OF the births OF
great men which has caused Us to
dig down into the history OF the

found that the editors statement
that the years 1860 and 1909 were
the two greatest in compare
son OF all others. For instance
I76o was the year that gave
more childrsn to the world, who,
later, became illustrious, than
any other in history. The list
81 that years babies is a striking
one. IL includes Napoleon,

His Infinite Charity.

Yet perhaps the most wonderful
thing OF all, and, from the standpoint
of the America of today and OF the
future. the most vitality important,
was the extraordinary way in which
Lincoln could fight valiantly against
what he deemed wrong and yet pre-
served undIminished his love and re-
spect for the brother from whom he
differed. In the hour of triumph
that would have turned any weaker
mans head, in the heat of a struggle
which spurred many good man to
dreadful vindictiveness. he said
truthfully that so long as he had been
in his ofice he had never willingly
planted thorn in. any mans bosom,
and besought his supporters to study
the incidents OF the trial through
which they were passing as philoro-
ply from which to learn wisdom, and
not as wrongs TO be avenged; ending
with the solemn exhortation that. ds
the strife was over, all should re-
unite in common effort to save
their common country.
He lived in days that were great
and terrible. when brother fought
against brother for what each sim
cerely deemed 10 be the right. In
contest so grim the strong men who
alone can carry II through are rarely
able to do Justice to the deep convlc-
tlons of those with whom they Crap
pie In mortal strife. At such times
men see through a glass darkly; to
only the rarest and loftiest spirits Is
couchsafed that clear vision which
gradually comes to all, even to the
lesser. as the struggle fades into dis
tance, and wounds are forgotten, and
peace creeps back TO the hearts that
were hurt. But to Lincoln was given
this supreme vision. He did not hate
