He is stated, on the contrary, to have acted with the coolness, judgment and decision of a tried soldier — to have done nothing which he ought not to have done, and to have neglected nothing which he ought to have done. A different line of conduct in the opinion of the officers in question, would have richly entitled him to a court-martial. It is very hard, we are aware, for men to lose everything and not to find fault with somebody. Yet this paper seems to us decisive of the question. Surely, the best judges of an officer's conduct are those who share the danger with him.
