few days previously, when he protested
against reprimand of his corps COM

fifty pages of manuscript trying to prove
his conduct consistent with that sound
discretion which division commander

from the danger threatened by the literal
execution Of orders.
The material difference Of circumstances
in the two cases, as appears from his own
writings, being that the discretion he ex-
ercises at Wauhatchie, and the "blind
obedience" he pleads at Chickamauga,
both have the effect Of getting his troops

The Washington reporters disagree in
reference to the object of Gen. Grants
visit to that city One report represents
that it is to assume command of all the
forces of the United States, with Gen.
Halleck as Assistant Adjutant General
with greater powers than he hiss hereto
fore had, while another intimates that
he is there simply for the purpose of
general consultation" The latter state
ment we suspect to be nearer the truth.
Any change which should withdraw Gen.
Grant from the field and coop him up in
Washington, we should regard as not
only great public calamity. but as dan
gerous to his well-earned reputation.
