Gen. ID cClernand and Gen. Grant.

Gen. JOHN A. MCCLERNAND will be re-
membered as distinguished soldier in the
field, a I'd as an orator subsequently for the
war democracy" in Wisconsin. The an
nexed letter is addressed by him to the
Springfield Ill.) Register:
Springfield, ILL.,, Jan 6, 1868
| observe in the Chicago Tribune Of the
4tb inst certain extracts purportlng to be
taken from ''Badeau' Life of Gen. Grant !"
Of whilom colonel, now lieutenant Ba-
deau, it IS well enough to say, en- PEASANT,
that he was unknown to me, unle S once
saw him hanging around Gen. Grant S
headquarters, as a questionable appendage,
where he may still be an ornamental rather
than useful appurtenance. Failing to gain
distinction as soldier, he seems determin
ed 10 gain infamous notoriety both as a
personal traducer and panegyrist.
Undertaking, ostensiby, 10 write Gen.
Grants biography, he has commenced the
hopeless task OF writing him into the presi-
dency. In this effort he has gone out of
the way to assail me, and only echoes his
master malevo(ence.
1t is rather, then, of his master, from his
position more distinguished object, that [
would very briefly speak. Let him publish
the correspondence-th whole of the cor
respondence of which be complains
through his partisan ananuensls. This done,
his character Tor candor and fair dealing
will be exhibited in better light than at
present before the public, to whose judg
meut he appeals against fellow soldier
Sometimes Gen. Grants senc9 of justice,
but ottener his passions, have controlled his
conduct towards me. Especially has this
latter been so exhibited since the brilliant
and successful issue of the Mississippi cam
paign, IN which the 18th army corps, which
| had thc honor to command, bore such Il
merItoriouS part. In his official report of
that campaign he, either from ignorance or
malice, falSlties important facts, honorable
to that corps, and to me, to the disparage-
ment OF both. The proof is on file in the
war department, but has never been pei
mltted to see the light.
Only recently, when my name was before
the senate for confirmation to Office. he, as |
understood, aud no doubt truly, descended
from the dignity of his station to cause my
rejection, thus pursuing me in civil as well
as military life
man nho receives an injury may for
give It's anthor, bat that author never for
gives the person he has injured.
Gen. Grant should, in prudence, if not
In justice, be more forbearng, for no public
man OF modern times owes as much of repu-
tation and influence to the forbearancc of
others. If the veil were once lifted, and
the public made acquainted with his real
character, Gen. Grams would stand very
differently in public estimation than he
does at present. That time viii yet come
when the wrong done me and my command
will be corrected.
Your obedient servant,
InIN A AiClI FRNANn
