respectfully, THOMAS JORDAN"
The Commercials articles in defense
of Gen. Grant were, almost from begin
ming to end, tissue of dishonest and
wriggling misrepresentation; but we
thought it of no importance to expose
them in detail. Whether that journal is
an honest controversialist is a question
not worth discussing at any length. We
selected an instance of gross and fagrant
Misrepresentation, confronting it with
decisive quotations from the documents
to which it appealed; and on the legal
maxim, fdlsus in uno, fdlsus in omnibus,
we felt that we we're dispensed from the
endless labor of further exposures. We
insert those suggested by Gen. Jordan,
because due to his credit as an author;
and in his own language, as best con-
sulting both brevity and authenticity.
If the Commercial wishes to earn
title to the gratitude and recognition of
General Grant, the expected President
it ought to be less industrious in pro-
ducing the impression that his reputa-
ton needs to have authorities garbled
and their contents misrepresented, to
maintain his fame at its present hight.
If the truth sufices to establish his
renown why do his psuegyrists have re-
course to its opposite
We suppose the Commercial will again
accuse us of appealing to rebel aathori-
ties. But Il would be difficult to find
any rebel writer less trustworthy than
itself. We believe, and have no doubt
all honest men believe, that the officers
who served on the Confederate side are
as truthful and have as high sense of
personal honor, as those who fought for
the Union. It was the Commercial
itself that frat appealed to rebel
authorities, and we Immediately con-
Victed it of an untruthful account
of what was contained in them. Their
credit for yeracity must therefore be at
least equal to its own. We made no
reference to Confederate documents
until the Commercial led the way but,
on the contrary, supported our criticisms,
step by step, 5y quotations from Mr..
Greeley's American Conflict" q book |
written long before General Grant was
thought of for President, and surely |
without any bias towards the rebel side.
Nothing could well be further from par
tisan depreciation than our first article.

General Grants sycophants.

FROM the NtW tofk Woflu
We must defer the further discussion Of
misstated points Of history, until there Is
a lull in the excitement at Washington.
We allude TO General Grant to-day only
TO show how authorities are garblsd and
facts distorted and falsifed to save his
reputation. The following communities.
ton was sent 10 us merely as memoranda,
without any expectation that we would
publish il in its present shape. We trust
its author will pardon the liberty we take
in printing il. 1t is due to him that the
Commercials misrepresentation OF the
contents of his book should be exposed,
aud the exposure will have more weight
with the public il it comes directly from
him. The writer is General Jordan, for
merly General Beauregard's chief OF staa,
and author Of recent important contri-
button 10 the history OF the war" The
Campaigns OF General Forrest "A work
appealed to by the Commercial in sup.
port ofits sycophantic defense OF General
Grant:
"The article Of the Commercial, Of
Friday, is singularly unfair, and the ci-
tations are wrenched from context in
such manner as to make them suggest
something quite different from what they

il will be seen, it does not convict the

1.-THE citation about Grants ability tC
take Forts Donelson and Henry is MOI
honestly made, as it stands for its accu-
raey on criticism of the Confederate
mism managemcnt. The $4,000 men re
ferred to were not at Fort Donelson, but
at Bowling Green and Columbus, Ky,
and Forts Donelson and Henry. The
IL, 900 that refer to as placed hors dt
combat refers to the original force that
garrisoned both positions, and used
round mum bers, and put the figures high,
as was my habit throughout~the book, so
as to be favorable to adversary as |
could be, and as little open to criticism
on that score. A number of the wounded
we're carried to Clarksville, Tenn, by
water.
$50, too, is last citation unfair-I do
not mean as context shows that $4,000
were lost but erposed to BE LOST, and
would have been lost but from fact that
Forrest and Floyd were able to get away
with over 5000 officers and men.
