be recol1ected that the Convention was full Of

themselves into the Convention. Twenty-four

In the location Of the different divisions of the

resignation, but Gen. Hal1eck refused to &C.
cept it, saying that he appreciated his services
too highly to allow him to resign at this juno
ture. The tender was subsequently with
drawn- Gen. Grants friends say he has an
accumulated mass Of testimony showing that

P;ttsburg Landing disaster, and placing the
responsibility where 1t rightly belongs. When
the proper time comes the whole affair will
be ventilated.
