Although he has written chiefly through The Times and The Tribune, of New York, there is scarcely a paper throughout the country which has not given space to his analytical and farsighted articles upon the war. As befitting the distinguished reward that has come to him, his prolific writings have done much to clarify the mind of America upon the justice of the cause which was demanding more and more sacrifice from...
