member Of General Grants military family, q
writer Of his life, and one who, from his posi-
tio2 under Mr.. Stanton, would have a thor
ough knowledge OF the events OF the
war. Mr.. Dana, on page 1G0 Of his "Lite
of Grant" says:-''It was about this time
that the idea of severing the rebel territory
again by conducting a campaign from Chatta-
nooga to the seacoast first presented itself to
his (Grant's) mind Again, on page Ala,
The Atlanta campaign and the march to the
sea- and ''Shermsn's grand holiday excur-
sion and picnic party through the Carolinas,
again severing the Southern territory, !so-
lating and scattering its armies, breaking its
communications and eating ont the vitals OF
the Confederscy,' '"bear ample testimony not
only to the grandeur of Grants conceptions,
but to the heroic and unsuitable resolution
with which he carried them into effect.
Now. what is the truth? The issue could
not be more clearly Joined than upon this
one point Did General Sherman plan the
march to the sea? General Badeau and Mr.
Dana-the one Grants private secretary, the
other Assistant Secretary of War-attribute
the glory of it to Grant General Sherman
contends that it belongs to himself alone
Certainly, in the interest of history there
could be no more important question sub
mitted to the discussion of the public. What
ever harm may result il the controversy, the
solemn interests of truth will be served in the
end.
More than this, there are questions affect
ing the fame and ability of other command
ers which General Sherman discusses. He
criticises Hooker, McClernand, Mcclellan,
Rosecrans, Logan, Blair, Mcpherson, Palmer
and others. To some, like Howard, Schofeld,
Slocum and Thomas, he awards praise; TO
others censure. Many Of these officers still
live. They can write, or they have friends
who can. Naturally, those who are censured
complain; but how much better to answer the
assaults now than TO have them made when
reply is impossible? General Sherman invites
as free criticism as he bestows. The trouble
with military men is that we ore apt to allow
their glory to hide their faults to look at
them as though wrapped in glamour as mys-
tcrious supernatural beings, above envy or
reproach or question.
II is something for Us to see that they are
mere men after all. and that under the uni
form there is as much envy, passion, ambi-
ton. love Of praise and dislike of censure as
under the civilian who knows no more Of
battle than spinster. The best interests Of
the country will be served by the controversy,
and all we have to say is, let there be wide,
open field and fair play and may the truth win.
