When will England and France recognize you?
What have you done with the provisional government of Kentucky?
Where is the Louisville-Bowling-Green-Nashville-Atlanta Courier published now? Say—
What do you think of yourselves any how?
A prompt answer will relieve many anxious hearts.
Yours, in a horn, A Lincoln Man.
General Garfield, Major-General Rosecrans's Chief of Staff.
The rather brilliant career of the General is worthy of a more extended notice than I have room for.
General Garfield was born in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, in 1831. It is said that, in his early love of freedom, he formed a strong attachment for horses, and, to gratify this feeling, he ran away from home and became a driver on the canal. Possessing remarkable endurance, and great strength, with no small amount of combative spirit, he soon became a "shoulder-hitter," whipping all opponents who were any way near his own age, and becoming a terror to the quarrelsome rowdies who had previously ruled the ditch.
During the hight of his wild career he attended a revival meeting, became converted, found new and wealthy friends, who supplied him with funds to attend college, and, in 1856, he graduated at William's College, Massachusetts, with the highest honors.
