Grants Generalship.

The attempt Of the Radical press to
make their readers believe that Gen. Lee
had nearly as many men as Grant had, is
ridiculous. 1T is poor compliment to the
intelligence of their readers to ask them to
believe such improbable twaddlet.
It is notorious that Grants army was
nearer 100000 than lO0, 900, as claimed by
the Radicals. When Burnside marched
through Washington with the Ninth Corps
to reinforce Grant, he had $4,000 men,
many of them ''colored troops" who are
said to be the best soldiers by the Radi.
Gals. The losses of Grant were most ter.
rible, even greater than was at first report.
ed.
We believe Gen. Grant to be possessed
Of unyielding bulldog courage and great
perseverance. he showed, however that
the lives of his soldiers we're not valued IN
the least by him. His waste of human
life was enormous. He may take place in
history with those commanders who have
accomplished great results with great sacri-
fees, but he does not deserve the praise oil
being great general, like Scott
Had Grant been in command in Mexico,
his murderers tactics would have annihila-
ted his entire army before the city Of Pue-
bla had been reached. Had he been in
command of Sherman's army, strong as it
was-98, 900 men-he would have lost it
all on his march to the sea.
Honest Northern soldiers will admit, re-
luctantly, it is true, that Lee was as much
superior to Grant as q general, as Grant
was to the miserable humbug, Butler
Had Lee commanded the large and splend-
lily equipped army, Of the Potomac, and
Grant the ragged, halfstaryed, outhamber-
ed and overworked army of the Confedera-
-cy, few rapid and brilliant movements,
q few sudden and heavy blows, would have
co Elapsed the rebellion within sixty days
from the commencement of THE campaign.
Whatever good aud brilliant qualities
Gen. Grant may possess, land his friends
claim for him great many he is certainly
not great or skillfull general, and the at
tempt to make the people believe him a
ridiculous, and his soldiers indignant at
being rated below the Confederate troops
as regards their fighting qualities. To say
that Grant is the superior of Lee in gener-
alship, is to pay a very poor compliment
to the prowess of Grants much more num-
erous army Reading PA Eagle.
