KLKGANT EXTRACT. Distinction between Jhlitarij Talent general Intellectual Foiccr—Military talent, even of the highest order, is far from holding the first placr aniong intellectual endowments. It is one of the lower forms of genius: for it is not conversant with the highest and lichest objects of thought. We ^rant, that & mind which tuko in a wide country at a glance, and understands, almost by intuition, the position it affords for a successful campaign, is a comprehensive and vigorous one. The General who disposes his forces so as to counteract a greater force who supplies, Dy skill, science, & geniu-, the want of numbers who dives into the councils of his enemy* & who gives unity, energy, and success, to a vast sphere of operations if»the midst of causalties and obstructions which no wisdom couid^ .foresee, manifests «reat power. liut still, the chief work of a General is to apply physi cnl force to remove phyfiical obstructions to avail himself of physical aids and advantages, to act on matter to overcome rivers, ram parts, mountains, and human muscles and these art not the highes objects of mind, nor do they dcman intelligence of the first order $ and accordingly, nothing is more common than, to find men, eminent in this department, who are almos: wholly wanting in the noblest ener gies of the soul—in imagination and tiiste, in the capacity of enjoyinu works of genius, in large views of human natur e, in moral sciences, in the application of analysis, and generalization to the human mind, and to society, and in original concep tions on the great subjects which liave absorbed the most glorious understanding. The oflice of a great general does not differ widely from that of a great mechanician, whose business it is to frame new combinations of physical forces to adapt them to new circumstances, and to remove obstructions.-—Accordingly-great generals, away from the camp, are commonly no greater men than the mechanician taken from his workshop.
