GEMS CURTIS, sfGEL, DAVIS AND ASB0TH

On our arrival at this post, VI saw Gen.
Curtis at his headquarters, looking well,
and experimenting with energy and dis
patch the operations of bis army. From
the most reliable sources | learn that the
various rumors, sent forward by intel ested
par.izans, disparaging his Generalship at
Pea Ridge, and extolling Gen. Sigel at his
expense, are utterly u~nfounded. Col. j. S.
Phelps, at Springfield, assured me that this
was So, and while Gen. Sigel conducted his
part Of the fight with ability, Brigadler
Generals Davis and Asboth, and acting
Brigadier Generals Carr and Osterhaus
were equally deserving of praise for brave
and heroic conduct, and the successful
fighting of their respective commands. All
Ibis ! find abundantIy confirmed by disin
t~erested witnesses at this post and the
story that Gen. ;Curtis, or the last day,
gave up the command to Gen. Sigel, and
that on the previous evening he proposed a
retreat, and burning of military stores,
which Gen. Sigel opposed, are all and
singular without o shadow of truth or
foundation.
These statements, intended to create a
rivalry between the two Major Generals,
are denied by Gen. Sigel himself, and have
not emanated from him, or anv jud cious
friends of his. Where all the officers acted
their part with so much courage and sue
cess, and are equally deserving of praise ;
invidious comparisons are in bad taste and
highly injurious to the service. The victory
OF Pea Ridge will ever remain An honor and
& DRY to all who participated in it, from the
Commanding General down to the last man
who shouliered a musket and faced the en-
envy on those memorable days, when our
brave army successfully repulsed three
times their number of the rebel host. Those
who saw Gen. Curtis during the three DAYS
of desperate fighting, say that he stood un-
dauuted from the beginning to the close,
and directed the operations Of the front
with GOODNESS, judgment and bravery, till
the confused retreat Of the enemy left him
