GENERAL GRANT AS A STRATEGIsT.-
What sort of strategist he is, is told
in story from the West, which runs
thus. A few evenings ago General w. r
Smith. General RaWlins, and other staff
officers of General Grant, were gathered
together in the .aters room in the Gun
ningham mansion. General Smith was
pacing up and down the room, apparently
in deep study, when some one asked him
what distressed him. Another spoke up
and said A" Let Badly alone he is study
ing strategy. A laugh followed at
Smiths expense, when General Grant re-
marked III do not believe in strategy as
you generally mean it. I use it in getting
lust as close to the enemy as possible, and
then, up, Guards, and at 'em'
Another story on the same subject,
told by the correspondent of the Herald,
is more positive than apocryphal. At
the tina Longstreet (having been de-
tached from Bragg, who was besieging
Chattanooga was endeayoring to force a
passage of the Tennessee at London and
Kingston, against General Burnside, sent
orders to General Burnside, to cease all
opposition to Longstreet's crossing, fall
back on Knoxville, stand seige as long
as he could, and by all means to draw
Longstreet as far away from Bragg as
possible. He thought it probable that
burnside might be sacrificed, but at the
same time he would destroy Bragg. We
al. know the result Of that strategy-the
:, If Bragg and the retreat Of Long
street.
