ueH III Clnclnnau. though evidently well In
tended, will add rothing to the Generals
reputation. The time has passed when any
advantage could accrue to any General, by
bringing railing accusations against such OIL
GERS ss sedgwick, Howard sud Meade, and
when We tiud these accusations coupled with
declaration that II Gen. Halleck hnd b.cn
In the rebel interest he could not have
thwarted Gen. Hooker's operations more
efcctua@ly than be did, our judgment ofGcn.
Halleck Is rather softened BY the respectable
company in which we f1ud him scolded. In
our view, after carefully reading the testtmo-
ny, Gen. Lee Was the individual who
thwarted Gen. Hooker at Chancelloryillc.
and he would hare been an incompetent
General had hs not thwar&ed him. The fun
damental error in that epgasem ent was made
when Gen. Hooker divided his own army,
placing sedgwick upon one side of the ems.
my and himself on The opposite side. True,
Gen. Hooker esys he vas unable to bring;
into action even the number of troops he
had on his own side Of the field, It,
occurs 10 Us, then, that the disaster would
have been less If there had been fewer troops
engaged. and Sedgwick had not been ex-
poeed 10 the enemy at all. Gen, Scdcwick Is
accustd Of being too slow, Gen. Howard of
being kurpsised, and Gen. Meade Of being
not over anxious to fight, while Gen. Stone
man is accused Of having done co hing ut all.
Considering that stonemau and Ayerill were
sent miles away from the field, with 1000
spltntl'd cavalry, 1t Is not Surprising that
they did nothing to decide the htc Of tho day
at Chonccllorvll1e. In fact, that b. tic was
a mt In Il nnfc
teiation, while the enemy fought on the
principle Of concentration. II Gen. Gsant,
WHEN he plunged into the same wilderness,
had 81 Mt one portion Of his army to the west
OF Orange Court House, in the Vain expecsa-
ton OF surrounding the enemy, he would
probably have found himself hack on tic
north side Ct The river In about the same
space Of time that Gen. Hooker did.
Gen. Hooker incidentally accuses Gen. 3Aer-
man, OF his corps commanders, or hott, OF
disposition to break him down In Georgia. in
much the same manner as he accuses the OIL
ce11 In the Army OF the Potomac. He says
'hat ne never darsd TO hazard anything
aea1nst the enemy in tne west, unless he
Rne entirely eonnoent OF hss ability TO whip
inem "lln h's own corps, because he never
felt sure that he would be properly supported.
