sr. LOUIS, Sept. 90, Is6l.-MY DEAR
Sin IL leave at eight in the morning, and
send you this hurried motto in tho midst oI
the last arrangements before starting. We
have to contend with an enemy having nc
posts to garrison. and no lines of transport.
alton to defend or guard, whose Who'll,
force can DO turned at will to any point
whle we have from Leavenworth to Cairo
and from Fort Scott to Paducah to keoI
| protected.
wish to say to you tina: though The
position is difficult, am competent to il
and TO the enemy In tho field. l am moi
ablo at tho same time TO attend to the enc
my at homo. II is a shame to tho countr,
that an officer going to tho field his lifo il
his hand, toiely actuatod by tho dcsiro t.
servo his country, and win for himself III
good opinion. with no othor object, should
DO destroyed by a system Of concerLsd at
tacks utterly without foundation.
Charges are spoken OF when therc arc NJ
charges explanations when there are none
to bo made What Is the object of the
repetition of ,neso fasehoods except Il
iamiliarize the public mind TO the idea tha
something is wrong; Already our credit
which was good, is shaken in conseQ uenc,
OF tho nowpapor intimaIions Of my beinl
removed. Money is now demanded b,
those furnishing supplies.
To defend myself now would require III,
time that is necessary TO and belongs to my
duty against tho enemy. II permitted b,
the country, this state of things will not fai
to bring on disaster But l never would
have boon attacked in my capacity as on
individual. am an exponent OF part Of
the force OF tho nation directed against the
enemy Of the country. Everything that il
directed against me is directed against The
country, and gives the enemy aid aud com.
fort.
My private character oomos In only in,
cldentally. dofeud it, because naturally
bis reputation is dear to any man, but only
incidentally. This 10 the foundation of nany
Of my acts, and will be IL ] stay bore. =
Everything that hurts. .impedes, or embsrass.
os the work entrusted to me, strike a,
without hesitation. ] take the oonsequou.
