to put the government In tho very pope
lar attitude Of requiring from oil IL gsaS
rails the great requisite OF success. HI
crime was committed before that bastle waG
fought. Our readers must remember very wen
the weary and difncult march made by the Army
of the Cumberland to the Tennessee river. Be
fore that river was reached, and while The
army toiled on In the mountain roads, Qea
Rosecrans was ordered by Gea. Hallsck. In
telegram from Warrington. TO join bis ooluma
to that Of Gen. Burnside. Gen. Burusids's
operations were on another line, and obedieaca
to the order would have made Il neoessary
for the Army Of the Cumberland to retrsce u
steps for . hundred miles, lose oil that 1t hsA
gained by its advance, and at least three weeks'
time. Representations to that eReot were
made BY Gen. Rosecrans, coupled with pro-
position that the two columns should unita

and Rosecrans, by pushing forward rapidly
reached Chattanooga before Bragg's reinfcros-
ments came up, and thus got possession Of that
strong position without . battle. Had he 10
traced his way to join Burnside it would aaally
have required for the capture Of chattanooga
almost o. long time as General Haileok toet
for the captare of Corinth. But General
Halleck would not order the junction Of tAs
two columns in any other way; and yet, whss
Rosecrans was in Chattanooga, Halleck gave The
positive order, through Dana, that Rosecraue
should move forward and compel Bragg q
6ght at once. Thus it happened that we fought
Bragg on the Chickamauga with an insufficient
force, while at that very time we had forty
thousand men comparatively idle hundred
miles away. And in the perpetration Of this
same criminal blunder the administration, like
Prince Hal, has s'damnable iteratlon;" for II ~
