We earnestly hope there is not the least
foundation for the report that Grant is
to be taken from the Wcst and placed
over the Army Of the Potomac. II is too
,bsurd for belief Grant must not go
We can't spsro him. We will not object,
however, TO his going to the Potomac, if
he War Department will let him travel
I.his own road TO reach there. he can
tight clear through Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia, and the Carolinas, and turn up
ia Richmond, Just as easily 40 anything
If Grant must go 10 Virginia, for Gods
sake, Mr.. President lei him ewing round
here by way Of the coast, and drive all
ihc rebel armies upin a bunch for Meade
to cut 90 pieces.
