I never came in contact with him in the war of the Rebellion, nor did he render any very conspicuous service in his high rank.

My transfer carried me to the company of Captain McCall, who resigned from the army after the Mexican war and settled in Philadelphia.

He was prompt, however, to volunteer when the rebellion broke out, and soon rose to the rank of major-general in the Union army.

I was not fortunate enough to meet him after he resigned.

In the old army he was esteemed very highly as a soldier and gentleman.
