Mr. Editor ; In your last issue I'
noticed the following paragraph, and as
it is going the rounds of the press, will
of course be noticed as far as the pa
pers circulate. Jt is as follo'ws :
'The manufacture of whisky in War-
ran County has yielded a revenue of
some 8515,000 from the first of May,
1863, to the present date, against some
8210,000 revenue from tax upon in
comes, licenses, enumerated articles
(carriages, pianos, watches, &c.), and
upon all other oianufaciures,'

Wesley Merritt: One of eleven children, Wesley Merritt was
born In New York City on June 16,1834, son of an
unsuccessful lawyer. When he was still a young boy, the
family moved to a farm in St. ClairCounty, Illinois, where his
father was a farmer, newspaper editor and state legislator.
Although it was anticipated that Wesley would be a lawyer
like his father, he accepted an appointment to West Point in
1855. He graduated twenty-second out of forty-one in the
class of 1860 and was commissioned an officer in the Second
Dragoons. He served in John Buford's company of Dragoons at Camp Floyd,
Utah. When war broke out, he came east with the Second Dragoons and
served as an aide to Brig. Gen. Philip St. George Cooke. The regiment became
known as the 2nd U.S. Cavalry after the outbreak of the war.
Merritt performed ably in this role, and then as the Cavalry Corps' ordinance
officerto Maj. Gen. George Stoneman. When Maj. Gen. Alfred Pleasonton
assumed command of the Cavalry Corps, Merritt took command of the 2nd
U.S. Cavalry. Merritt distinguished himself at the Battle of Brandy Station and
again at the Battle of Upperville on June 21, 1863, and, at Pleasonton's
request, was promoted from captainto brigadier general of volunteers on June
28, 1863. He assumed command of the Reserve Brigade, and later became
commander of the First Division of the Cavalry Corps. At the end of the Civil
War, now a major general of volunteers, Merritt briefly commanded the Cavalry
Corps. During the war's final command, he was second in command to Maj.
Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, and was one of the three Federal commissioners to
receive the formal surrender of the Confederates. Merritt earned Sheridan's
respect, and became his principal subordinate as time passed.
After the Civil War, he became lieutenant colonel of the 9th U.S. Cavalry,
colonel of the 5th U.S. Cavalry in 1876, and in 1887, a brigadier general in the
Regular Army. In 1895, he was promoted to majorgeneral. He was an active
Indian fighter, served as commandantof West Point, and commandedthe U.S.
expedition to conquer Manila. Philippines, during the Spanish-American War.
General Merritt accepted the Spanish surrender. He then assumed command
of the Department of the East until his retirement on June 16,1900, after forty
years in the Regular Army. He spent his last years traveling between
Washington and Natural Bridge, Virginia, where he diedon December 3,1910.
The general's remains were buriedat his beloved West Point.
The clean-shaven Merritt was "tall, slender and intellectual looking. He had a
constitution of iron, and under a rather passive demeanor, concealed a fiery
ambition." Very much John Buford's prot6g6, Merritt was quiet, competent and
self-effacing. Known as a martinet, he was cool and fearless under pressure.
An officer of the 2nd U.S. wrote of him, Merritt at his high prime was the
embodiment of force. He was one of those rare men whose faculties are
sharpened and whose view is cleared on the battlefield. His decisions were
delivered withthe rapidityof thought and were as clear as ifthey had been
studied for weeks. He always said that he never found that his first judgment
gained by time and reflection. In him a fiery soul was held in thrall to will. Never
disturbed by doubt, or moved byfear, neither circumspect nor rash, he never
missed an opportunity or made a mistake.
Of all the generals that helped winthe Civil War, few had longer, more
effective, or more glorious careers than did Wesley Merritt,
