his shoes, which were tied, and contained
the skeleton and mould of his feet, into

view which will strike people of
common sense as remarkably apropos
to this officer, whose publication in a
war report of abusive letters of the

to the President, is without parallel in
our history. The public however by
this time is satisfied that no man in
this war can play the politician as

matter what force he may have at
command, he will accomplish nothing.
