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.

patuotism burned in him a.-t bright

at the front in Cuba can forget tlx

played. " I'hnugh ill and sulFer- j
