Gems. Alexander Mcdowell Me-
Cook and T. /. Crittenden were r.
lieycd Immediately after tic battle d
the Chickamauga. No one knows
what they were removed for. They
have generally been regarded rs
among the best Of our corps command
crs. When there were rumors abroad
that Roeecrans imputed to them the
loss Of the battle, he wrote them that
he had no reason 10 be dissatisfied with
their conduct. If the Government
suspects their ability they should have
the question settled by eourt-mariial,
thas satisfying The country and doing
justice to the accused.
r. II. 8rlroy was relieved imme
diateIy after his defeat at Winchester,
proceeding the invasion Of Pennsyl-
yania by Lee, The court which in
yestigated that affair pronounced him
blameless. He Is not General WHO
has ever given the country any reason
10 place great reliance on his military
ability, bnt tie honor OF the service
viii not be INDICATED by letting him
rust IN iuaetion.
Gen. r. J. 0gelsby is less known in
this section than any Of the others
AZ the beginning Of the war he com
mande9 a regiment and was consider
cd one Of the best Of the Western Coll
onels. lie was entrusted with the
charge Of some expeditions Of impor-
tance, and acquitted himself so well
that he was rapidly promoted. We
do not rccallany great battles in which
he took prominent part. With over
two years Of experience, he is proba-
/ lily better fitted for the command of a
division than any who are now candi-
dates for the double star.
In addition to these, there are sew
eral Major-G Generals who are in COM
mand Of Departments So far removed
/ from the enemy and active military
operations, tlat they might as we'll be
upon the list. Couch, Brooks and
siegel, commanding departments in
Pennsylvania, are instances Of this
Some Of this lack of employment is
/ inevitable IN a country with olarge a
military establishment as ours, but it
becomes the Government to make the
evil as small as possible. Most, ifnot
all, Of these officers are anxious for ac.
tive service, and it would be pleasing
10 the soldiers in the front, satisfactory
10 tie people al large, and benefit to
the national treasury, to put them in
!; as far as possible.
