V I I Proprietor, PUB^ISHKD EVERY FRIDAY | BY W. Mc'JDOWBLL' ! CAMDEN, S. 0., FEB. 2, 190G Joseph Wheeler. The following from the Now York Sun shows in wliul high es teem Gen. Wheeler was held oven by those he once opposed in open bat tle : Gen. Joseph Wheeler was not a great captain like Lee, or .Jackson, or Johnston or Forrest; in fact, he Bfever fought a campaign an an in dependent commander of troops, nor iw his name associated with llie suc cess of strategic movements. But he was a great soldier in the sense . of leadership. Ho was '? constantly at the frout, and i 11 the very thick of battle, during his four years' ser ... vice as a Confederate ollieor, and his merit as a tactitiou is proved by the rapidity with which while nver\ young man he roao from the com mand of a regiment to ho ranking - otttcor of Confederate cavalry. It was not Gen. Wheeler's for tune to share the glories of the Army of Northorn Virginia, bo " ^ that he cannot be compared with its famous cavalry leader, J. K. B. Stunrt. His service was mainly with commanders like Hragg and Johnston in the southern depart ment, who struggled desperntoh but unavailingly to contenst the advance of superior and better equipped Union armies. So, ex cept ar Chicknmauga, and on a few other fields, Gen. Wheeler shared defeats and not victories. But the restless energy, indomitable bravery and resourcefulness of the man made him an ideal cavalry ollieor for a losing side. Sometimes lie ' seemed to be in two pi noes at one time, such was the celerity of his movements, and no hardship dis ~ couriged or obstacles checked him. ! He had some signal, some bril liant successes ? the capture of; Stonemao, an able cavarly general, for Instant ? and in his raids to cut r the communication of Rosecruus and Sherman he destroyed immense amounts of property. To the last W wan ?tttbbomiv fighting, onlj ' ?iisitfcing his sword after his splen did defence of Aiken. But the r aVrnfgls oter, he spent no time in ?- viil regrets, and became a' leader ^Jn peaoe as he had been in war. ?jBhPsrae easily reconstructed, and ? did all in his power by speech and 4#td Id heal the wounds the war . bad left.
