GENERAL SULLY.

A paragraph. which first appeared in
the Chicago Times, is being extensively
copied, stating that Gen Sully was r.lev.
ed from the command of this District and
ordered to report at Chattanooga 1t
affords us much pleasure to be able to say
from the very best authority, that the
statement has no foundation in fact. It
is the generally received opinion that but
tor the sagaci,y of Gen. Sully in the late
campaign against the Indians, the whole
enterprise would have been . most signal
failure-that tho Indians would have re.
garded themselves as the vctors, and
would have been ten fold more bold in
their marauding expeditions against the
settlers than ever before. The battle Of
White Stone Hills has been terrible blow
to them; but to be effectual in accom-.
plisbing the end of . permanent peace
and lasting security to the frontier, it
must be promptly followed up next season.
The wiley foe must not have time to
rally. The experience Of the present
season has taught that to do this the pre-.
liminary steps must not be delayed until
The opening Of Spring. Arrangements
need to he commenced ut once, and to be
followed up continuously through the win

who understands fully the work to be

officer can be so fully posted, and so we'll
prepared for this peculiar service as he
with the experience of the present season.

confidence iu his ability and honesty, and
we are quite sure that all these facts are
fully appreciated at Washington, and that
he will not be interfered with unless the
