The Late ('apt. Wallace. A rittsburg friend of tho late Capt. ; George Wallace, of tho Seventh cavalry, ! thus describes that officer: "IIo was a magnificent man iu every sense of tha word. IIo ws 0 feet 3 inches tall, and of athletic build. IIo will long bo ro-iiieiuljereil ro-iiieiuljereil in tho Seventh as a most fearless fear-less rider and crack shot, as well as a charming companion. That Capt. Wallace Wal-lace died hard nnd fighting to the last is ! shown by tho latest reports from tho seat of war. "There were found lying aroimd him whero he fell flva dead Indians, for whom five empty chambers in his re- ; volver accounted. IIo was wonderfully expert with gun or revolver. I remein- j ber that on one littlo hunting trip wo I took together in Missouri he disdained I to use a shotgun on email game, and 1 ! brought down more with his riflo than j tho rest of "a could with our scattering I j gnna." j
