A Story of Gen. Banks.

I remember one story that was told about Gen. Banks. One morning at daybreak, during Banks’ Red River campaign, an aid galloped to his tent. “General, the rebels are attacking our line in force.” The aid waited impatiently; no Banks, no orders. A second aid, and still a third—“ General, our lines are broken, the army is in full retreait, there is danger of a panic.” At length, half an hour later, Gen. Banks issued from his tent in full regimentals, mounted lus horse, drew his sword slowly from its scabbard, and exclaimed, with stentorian voice: “Let the enemy be repulsed immediately.”—Louisville Courier - Journal.
