I have no respect for the penetration of any man who can read the reportof that conversation, and still call the principal in it insane. It hasthe ring of a saner sanity than an ordinary discipline and habitsof life, than an ordinary organization, secure. Take any sentence ofit, --"Any questions that I can honorably answer, I will; not otherwise. So far as I am myself concerned, I have told everything truthfully. Ivalue my word, sir. " The few who talk about his vindictive spirit, whilethey rea...lly admire his heroism, have no test by which to detect a nobleman, no amalgam to combine with his pure gold. They mix their own drosswith it.

Governor Wise speaksfar more justly and appreciatingly of him than any Northern editor, orpolitician, or public personage, that I chance to have heard from. Iknow that you can afford to hear him again on this subject. He says:"They are themselves mistaken who take him to be madman.
