War demands In soldiers something
besides enthusiasm for a cause • -Lit-tle
Ma,-' turned the three hundred
thousand recruits of rather Abraham
Into corps, dlvlsona, and brigades of
soldiers, eager to win, but. at Uie same
time willing to learn the rules of tlie
ggm* by alow stages in the midst of
toll and drudgery.
On the military side that waa tin l„
ginning of real war. The Impulse to
hang on and win out at all cost which
was then set going did not end until
Appomattox. The tamper of th* hour
ia the rnnipB at the front has bees
graphically depleted by Comte de Paris
in his historical chapter on
McClcllnn Organizing the Ornnd Army.
Writing of September, 1861, the
count saya:
■very veteran will be able to recall
that extraordinary time when the peo-ple
of the north devoted all their nat-ive
energy and spirit of Initiative to
the raising of enormotta levies of fut-ure
combatants and their military
equipment and when infantry battal-ions,
siiuadrona of cavalry and hatter-las
of artillery sprang, as It were, from
the earth in a night and poured In from
ail sides upon the barren wastes of
vacant building lots that then went to
the making up of fully three-fourths
of the Federal capital.
It was .In the midst of this herculean
task of organization that two French
alds-de-camp were assigned to duty

genius and whom McClellan was
destined to find again In his front but

Hill and Rich Mountain, gave evidence
of what might be expected of the Inex-parleneed
troops placed in hia hands.
He had already shown rare strategic
ability nnd the president had contld-
' 1 10 him the task of creating the Ar-my
or ilie I'otomac from the disorgan-ized
bands which had fallen back on

youthful of us all. not only by reason
of his physical vigor! the vivacity of
his Inipresaiona, the noble candor of
bis character and hla glowing patriot-
Ism, but also, 1 may add. by his inex-perience
of men. His military ticarlng
breathed a spirit of frankness, benevo-lence
and firmness. Ills look was
piercing, his vole* gentle, his temper
equable, hla word of command clear
and definite. His encouragement was
most affectionate. his reprimand
couched In terms of perfect politeness.
Hi .net, as a military or political chief
should lie, he was alow In bestowing
Ills confidence, but once given It was
never withdrawn. Himself perfectly
loyal to his friends, he knew how to
inspire others with an absolute, devot-ion.
