The Union asserts that tie d,,ies Of the General
"were well defined" sno bcr,fore, he had no claim
to be consulted as to the ord Is he sholld receive

oue BIT lot to have deprived him OF the courtesy and

war, devoed to the in crest honor aud glory Of his
country. II tie Secretary Of War, however. had
condesceIded az much as TO have consulted him. he

defence OF San an i-co. But The great emporium

Of he East, b. the traarln TO them every two

defence. The people u Sac Francisco. who have
suffered so much within the last five yesr3, are en-.
tisled to the sympatb'es OF L1e whole country and

good n ason be offered why should not have

Tire general commanding TIE troops with iudg-

the hasbor, and laced two companies ct tae Pre-
sidio for their service His foresight enabled him to
adopt measures that would be suf1 lent for any
