Grant, sherman and SIMON .

Gen. Sherman has given, heretofore, a full
and minute account of the bloody battle OF
Shiloh. Grant, who was in chiefcommand on
that field, has done the same. And yet, to
quote the Eoening Post, SHERMAN, who
speaks in Grants praise, says nothing of his
own honorable and important share in that
great battle. Grant has repeatedly borne
testimony to Sherman's skill and iron steadi-
ness on that day. as securing the discontinue
of the enemy. Sherman held the key of our
position ; had he been man OF less courage,
of smaller resources, Or ofmerely common de-
termination, presence of mind and skal, the
whole army might have been thrown into the
Tennessee. He was equal to the great oc
casion; he handled his troops with the coolest
skill; he placed batteries himself; he led the
final charge on the first day in person; he
had one or two horses shot under him, and by
his personal conduct maintained his part OF
the line, and thus enabled Grant to resume
the offensive the next day. From that day
Grant has generously supported and constant
ly and openly admired Sherman. One chief
cause of the success Of our army in the West
doubtless lies In the fact-honorable to the
men concerned-that between Grant, Sher-
man and Thomas there has never been the
shadow of rivalry or distrust; they are gen.
erous friends; each admiring and enjoying
the others skill and success, and all contribu-
ting their whole powers to the object nearest
their hearts-the success of the Union cause.
Thus we see Sherman writing from the field d
justification of Grant, while Grant, when men
shout Ills praises, tells them that Sherman 10
the great general from whom they may expect
the most, and no one applauds Thomas on
Sheridan SO promptly or 50 calamity as Grant,

How they taxa Il AZ Savannah,

! The Savannah Republican Of the 2Ist, con-
tains the following EDITORIAL upon the sur.
render of that city to Sherman. It is very
neatly worded, and speaks as though the
editor was not altogether dissatisfied with the
result. - AsSs1A@2As-A9t
i "By the fortunes of war, we to-day pass un-
der the authority Of the Federal military au-
thorities. :. m se3sasas -
The evacuation has left the city gates open,
and Sherman with his army will no doubt to-
day take possession. We desire to counsel
obedience and all proper respect on the part,
Of our citizens, and to express belief that
our property and persons will be respected by
our military ruler. The fear that Gen. Sher-
man will repeat the Atlanta expulsion order
we think is without foundation. Then he
could not supply food for. both his army and
the citizens-in our case, food can be abun-
dainty supplied for the army and citizens.
1t oehooyes all to keep within their houses
till Gen. Sherman can organize provost sys-
tenn. Let our conduct be such as to win the
admiration Of magnanimous foe and give no
grounds for complaint or harsh treatment on
the part of him who will for an indefinite pc
riod hold possession of our CITY, !.
