mote points throughout the Northwest. |
Here were regiments that only few days |
previous were unarmed and in barracks |
ut Camp Douglas. Many Of their CON-
panies were not full. There were
regiments summoned in hot haste
from St. Louis, and Northern Missouri,
from Wisconsin and Iowa. They wentfor-
ward promptly at the sudden call and
formed in the ranks ofwar. 1t was an army
whose brigade commanders scarcely knew
their own colonies by sight. They went
forward and won, not barren victory over
sham entrenchments mounted with quaker
guns, but over an active and determined
enemy.
What opportunity had Gen Curtis's
column for learning brigade movements
snd trumpet calls when they hastily 1en-
dezVoused in Southeastern Missouri, and
poured into Arkansas in pursuit Of Price.
And yet they met and vanquished the enc
my at Sugar Creek without the training
that has kept the Grand Army Of the Poto~
mac behind its entrenchments for these
long months:
And both these movements have been
made, and these brilliant victories organ
lied in The face Of season in,pe1iments and
horrible marches that not even Virginia
could snrpass. By the result Of the first

strength in Tennessee is hopelessly broken.

Hallecks recent dispatch informs the coun'

written in our caption, great omission II
all this. 1tappertains either to the policy
which advanced upon, pursued, and Vigor
ous1y attacked the enemy without this pre-
lninary preparation, or to that which
utterly and peraistently omitted everything
that looked like aggressiTeness until tht

just credit to which he is entitled. We

taken, Gen. Grants was the first in order

save That the whole testimony should bc

Captain Frank Buchanan, Of the rebel
figate Merrimac, whose death is reported as
one OF the results Of the late action, was a
Of Governor Mexican, Of Pennsyl-
yania. On the marriage Of his mother to DR..
Buchanan, Of Maryland, she removed to Balti-
more, where all her children were born. When
very young the children went to Philadelphia,
where they we're educated, and some Of them
have made that city their home ever since.
On the Inauguration Of President Lincoln,
Captain Frank Buchanan held the responsible
post Of Commandant Of the Washington Navy
Yard, md was surrounded by q nest Of young
officers. One Of his daughters married an
officer attached to the Yard, and the President
and nl1 the Cabinet officers attended the we'd
ding, little dreaming that Buchanan vas at
heart a traitor. On the day the Massachusetts,
regiment WIS attacked in Baltimore, this de-
ceitful rebel and lis newly-hedged son-in-law
sent in their designations and Immediately left
the city. He ehartereda q large omnibus with
fourhorses, and slowing away his family, made
for Baltimore, and thence by boat sailed for
the Eastern Shore, where he had farm.
Finding Maryland did not seccde, he sent
pi:eous appeal to tie Secretary Of the Navy to
be restored to lis command, but his app1ica-
ton Was spurned by the President After
spending few months in that State, he sought
employment in the Secession kingdom, and
was received with open arms. The truth is
that Frank Buchanan could not live in his ac-
customed style without the pay that he had in
apauic given up; and having eight OF ten
grown-up- daughters around him, one Of his
motives In stealing across our lines was,
doubtless, to obtain some Of the Confederate
scrip to clothe and feed his family.
