The 7iu'cx boasts Of Judge Dickcy's mili-
tary deeds, and particularly at tic lncn,nra-
bic victory at Shiloh. There is general, nc
might sar, universal impression abroad that
Grant had something to do will! that battle,
and that Sherman and other Geiserals assist
cd him but according to the Tipltx, Colonel
Sidney Johnston to pur.ain. Deau7c sa.tl.
Now il the Times will go back to the history
Of that battle 1t will learn that during the
two days Of desperate fighting tic eay.lry.
Of which Colonel Dickey's regiment was
part. were In the rear under the bluff, and
took no part In the action at ell. On tbs
morning Of the thifl 1ay 1t was found that
the enemy had fed, and tllcu the cavalry
were ordered to the front to discover where
the enemy had gone. But even in that
charge Of the cavalry, which was ably done,
Judge Dickcy took no par:, because he was
Mt headquarters, doing stall duty. Whatever
duty the Fourth Cavalry performed at shi-
lob WIS no doubt admirably executed, but
no active duty was performed by the rcgi-
incnt wllilc Dlcley was with It; Or perhaps
It would be more correct to say that Dickcy
was not with the regiment whcu its time
came to engage In the battle.
The Times also claims for Colonel Dickcy
the credit Of having prevented the rebels
from having escaped from Fort Donclson,
thereby having made the victory substan-
tfa1 instead ofa barren One. Thus, to Dlckey,
as commander Of cavalry, the 1;mes insists,
belongs the credit Of the victories of Donel.
son and Shiloh.
There ism treble purpose in this falsiflcatiou
Of history. In the frat place, Dlckey Is
given reputation for nets never heard o
until now. Logan, who earned Ill his 1ausclt
in the Army Of the West, is utterly ignored
and there is the ncrer-dying venom which
makes every reference to the war by tha,
paper secret or open attack on Gcncra

Johnson, the Tould-to autocrat, who un-

ter to declare himself dictator; and intl-
mates pretty plainly that he would so de-
clare himself. were 1t not for the fact that

castons, to impress the American people
with deep and abiding sense Of his con-
dcscension in permitting them to retain d

that he can afford this extreme condesccu-
sion, because heis a1ready as big inan rs

With such exalted views Of his own great

that he can orerturn them with military

of twenty-five States" Mr. Seward is eau
tious In speech, and, unlike his master, docs
not employ language without Weighing It's
Significance. He certainly Is not ignorant Of
the number Of stars on our national flag, and
We must look for some, different explanation
of tlis cxtraordinarJ statement.
We arc iuclfucd to think this Is the first
official announcement Of part Of the John
son programme not heretofore made public
namely, the annihiIation Of the new Radi-
cal State OF West Virginia. THIS will prob
ably be attempted when Mr. Johuson makes

gross of Southern members and Northern
