A SPOILED SENSATION.
wi BANKS was to suceeed Gen, Grant.


The New York TTibume's Washington cores.
poDdent wIites:-It has recently been stated,
with a great show of authority as well as
novelty, That during the Vicksburg campaign
General Banks WAS peremptorily ordered by the
maud. Mr.. Stanton has denied this tlatly. Tue
only foundation tor the story consists in the
fact that Banks was constantly aud repeatedly
ordered to.OpeIate with General Grant, aud that
il the forces Of the two Generals had come into
contact as General Banks was the senior he
must have assumed command. All this was
known to General Grant at the time, aud is
fully set forth IN General Badcau's Military His
tory. On page lbl, General Badeau says;-
"It 10 necessary to correc5 underst Anding OF all
the Sc operations AID due 20 General HalleCk TO keep
constantly In mind that MaiDr.Gereral Banks mad
been sent to New Orleans by sea vito ga army o.
OF the Mlsastippi River, and especially the cap
ture OF Nlcksburg. He was 90 he supported by Ad
mirBl FsrrhguVs fleet, already renowned are for
Grant"
Then again, on page 1856, he writes as fol.
lows:-
SKIS torant's) design now was to move his srnny
to some point beIow NlcksbaTg, where he might be
able 10 supply himself by the roads and OayOns Ia
Louisiana ana thence send q corps 20 CO operate
that place should have fallen Banks with his whole
army, ana the CORDS from Grant, To march up
and unlte In the campaign against Vicksburg. Banks
was the senior oI Grant, aud upon junction OF
their forces must have assumed command"
This is absolutely all there is in the matter.
The Government and Grant were both anxious
for the cooperation OF General Banks, and both
urged II again and again on that officer.
