Unwritten History Of tho war.

Gen. IIillyer, formerly upon General
Grants staff, and a Democrat in politics,
relates the following:
Grant developed wonderfully in the war,
and though I, as 4 Democrat, opposed hs
election, had no doubt that he was tie safe,
strongest man, worthiest to head the army.
There is needed no better instance or proof
to this effect than the following was at
City Point in 1865, and sitting close 10y
Grant saw him break the seal of letter.
Then he smiled, good nsturedy.
Whats that General Grant Z"
"A letter from Sherman. Read It"
~ read the letter and it said that Sher.
man could no longer hold Atlanta, his lius
being too long. He asked permission
to destroy the town and move to the sea,
subsisting upon the country and turning at
bay to igh, Hood whenever the latter Dur.
sued him too closely All this seemed soldier.
ly to me, and asked Grant what in it made
him laugh
WAY he said, y was wondering what
Hood could find to subsst upon if lie fol.
lowed in the roare of Sherman
Thus was the General supplying on error
Of genius. Sherman supposed that Hood
would follow him. Grant knew that Hood
could not eat off the barren and devastated
country. So lie sent this word to Sherman:
You have my permission to destroy Atlanta
and 60 to the sea after you detach Scofeld
and-to 20 to Tennessee. Hood will
not follow you he will march upon Nash.
ville.' Now, see Had Sherman carried of
his whole force seward. mistaking the effect
of his movement npon Hood, Nashville
weuld have fallen, Indiana and Ohio been
invaded, and the Southern Confederacy been
al accomplished fact"
"Grant," said Hillyer, sis stern Jupiter.
There is no other story of two s:ernsr men
than Grant and Geurge II. Thomas before
the battle OF Nash,ie. Thomas had dislike
of being whipped, and be is cautious aud
sedate to the last degree till the time for
decision has come. Grant sent word ia
Thomas to move out of his works to attack
Hood. Thomas was not ready, and he went
on deliberately with his preparations. Gran,

Then Grant sent John A. Logan to Louis.
