GKxs. GRANT AND LEE AS HIsToRiANs-
The following we clip from an eX
change: o
TIE Two leading generals Of the late
war. Grant aut! Lee, are now engagfd
in wri,irgup the history OF their respec
I'VE campaigns. In both cases. we sup
bose thu, Ills, cries will be almost purely
military in their character. Lee, how
aver will have some advantage over
Grant, in that his history will not ht
made in the form of an official report. and
! hence he can indulge in greater discur-
| siyeness of statement and greater fr~e-
dom of S; vie than is customary II ct1iciai
documents. FA
/ Grant is a very close and accurate wri
ter. and we may say this, LIE, in general,
mas the same character is'ics. The last OF
Grants ampaigus, OF winch, thus tar, he
has given Us full report, was that
which was crowned hy the splendid VIC
fory at Chattanooga, in The latter part ot
1863 and We have always considered
That report as the MASTERPIECES of military
writing and military philosophy that the
war has produced The last full military
report of Gen. Lee, that we remember to
have seen, is that of the battle o. Ge;tys
burg, fought two years ago.
!, Lees reports of his campaigns will ne
confined entirely to operations In Fr
, gipia, while Grants reports will be oi
battles fought and won over half COZ
tinrnt.
From B. lmont to Vicksburg, from
DJnelson to Chattanooga, he ca.mpa'gneo

II will be interesting to read the reports q
