WAR MISCELLANY.

         A Good General Described.

  The fortitude required of him is very differ-
ent from the unthinking alacrity of the com- I
mon soldier or common sailor in the face of
danger and death; it is not a passion, it is not
an impulse, it is not a sentiment-it is a cool,
steady, deliberate priaciple, always present,
always equitable; having no connection with
anger; tempering honor with prudence; in- i
cited, invigorated, and sustained by a generous
love of fame; informed, moderated, and di-
rected by an enlarged knowledge of its own
great public ends; flowing in one blended
Atrea from the opposite sources of the heart
ad the head, carrying in itself its own com.
