Alfred Pleasantoa was born here June 7,
A score of years later he was grad-
uated from the United States Military acad-
emy. As a slender young lieutenant in the
Mexican war. he was foremost in the
charges at Palo Alto and Resaca de la Pal-
ma. In 18G2 he went to the civil war as a
major In the Second United States cavalry;
promotions came to him right and left, and
he became commander of the cavalry corps
the Army of the Potomac, lighting to the
finish and resign.ng in lHtiH. He was brev-
eted brigadier general for meritorious ser-
vices in the campaign against the Confed-
erate t trees under General Price in Mis-
souri. where he was well known for man?
deeds of kindness.
Nothing very material had occurred from
the time General Hooker assumed command
of the Army of the Potomac up to the cam-
paign of Chancellorsville. Early in the cam-
paign General Hooker organized the Stone-
uian raid to separate the Confederate army
from Richmond when the Union forces at-
tacked them. After Pleasanton's command,
except a small brigade of three regiments
and one battery, had gone on that raid, he
was assigned to dutv with this force under
eneral Slocum. who commanded three
corps, to pass the Rappahannock and
Kapidan rivers to the right of Gen-
eral Lee's army. About this time
Pleasanton captured in the Wlllderness one
of General Lee's couriers, who had with
him a dispatch in the latter's own
handwrlilng. The dispatch was ad-
dressed to General Anderson, advised him
that th U-lon forces were crossing the
river and asked him to report General
Pie anton -ought General Slocum and ap-
prised him of the Confederates' ignorance
of their having crossed the Rapldan, and
advised the latter to send the Eleventh
army corps to take up position at Spottsyl-
vania court house. General Sloc" n would
not take Pleasanton's advice, but concen-
trated his three corps at Chancellorsville,
as he had been ordered. General Hooker
put in an appearance, and General Pleas-
anton renewed his recommendation to put a
corps at so Important a position as Spott-
svlvania court house. Hut General Hooker
expressed himself as confident that he had
the Confederate armv. and General Pleas-
anton gave way to the opinion of his supe-
rior. The following day the army moved
toward Fredericksburg, but after going
about a mile and a half they were brought
ba< k to Chancellorsnllle by order of Gen-
eral Ho ker. and the movement, according
n**.al Pleasanton. produced a feeling
of uncertainty aaoai the soldiers.

Tha Confederate Commander I.altl Away
at Forest Hill.
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. is.—A great
company of old soldiers of the lilue
and ( ray stood with uncovered heads
while a volley from a hundred army
rifles was tired in honorable salute
over the body of General Jo O. Shelby
as It was laid away in the ex-Confed-
erate burial ground to-day. The old
veterans of the Northern and South-
ern armies united to do honor to the
memory of the dead general; together
they watched over his body us it lay
in state and together they followed it
to the grave and the wrinkled faces of
the Union veterans were as wet with
tears as those of the Confederates as
they stood together and quietly and
solemnly watched the body laid away.
At 9:30 o'clock this morning the
family of the dead general went to the
United States courtroom and looked
for the last time on his fat e. Behind
the hearse was General Shelby's sad-
dle horse, not the one he rode in the
war. but his favorite saddle horse
from his farm. The horse was saddled
and a pair of cavalry boots with silver
spurs hung at the stirrups. The horse
was led by Hilly Hunter, the old negro
who had been General Shelby s body
servant through the war and was with
him when he died.
The funeral took place from the
Third Regiment armory. Rev. Dr. S.
M. Neel and Judge Philips delivered
addresses. An immense procession
followed the hearse to the burying
ground.
A DYING FOES TRIBUTE.
High Praises for Shelby From Pleasan-
ton Between the Two Deaths.
Washington, Feb 18.—Monday Gen-
eral Alfred Pleasanton, who died sud-
denly to-day, sent for a friend, with
whom he discussed at length General
Price's raid into Missouri, the battle of
the Bine and General Shelby's services.
While General Shelby's body passed
to-day through the streets of Kansas
City, Mo., borne by sorrowing com-
rades, the first preparations were
being made for General Pleasanton's
funeral.
Among the dying general's last con-
scious utterances was this tribute to
the dead one: "Shelby was the best
cavalry general of the south, and
under other conditions he would have
been one of the best in the world's
history.*'
