consult with the directors of the Pacific
mills in Boston Monday. The strikers
declare they will not return to work
until the old prices are restored.
Everything is quiet in the city, but
Mondays developments are awaited

return the entire Pacific mills will shut
down stopping 100000 spindles, and
throwing between s, 500and 5000 people

The nosecran..carneId Matter.

CnlCaRO, March lo.-llel Inter ocean
in a long editorial on the Rosecrans-
Garfield matter says. In this onnec-
ton the letter of Garfield to Rosecrans,
written at the army headquarters in
June, 1853, becomes interesting. The
dispatches affect great mystery as to
this letter, and intimate that when it
is published it will create a commotion.
There is no mystery about it. The
letter, as we stated last week, was pub
lished years ago, and has been for the
past fourteen years accessible to any
body who cared to go over the reports
IN the conduct of the war. The queer
feature of the election business has
been the assumption that the Chase
letter contained expressions and views
so wholly unlike what Garfield had
said to Rosecrans himself, as to the
conduct of the chief of staff, or of du-
plicity or double dealing.
This assumption vas absurd, and
Rosecrans and all the general officers
Of the Army Of the Cumberland knew
it was absurd. Garfield in his letter to
Rosecrans, referred to in the dispatches,
expressed his views fully and freely, and
in after years made no secret of it. In
fact he was in a hotel saying to friends
that in no case had his judgment ever
been more clearly indicated than in
the case of this free expression of his
views to Rosecrans, as chief of staff.
He had gathered the information as to
the strength of our own forces, and
through Gen. Swain of the secret SER
vice he had come into possession of
information as to the strength of the
rebel forces and plans.
Writing on the 18th of June, 1913,
Garfield answered the objections Of the
seventeen generals opposed to a for
ward movement and showed the exact
lighting strength of Rosecrans' army,
and gave an estimate of the strength Of
Bragg's army. Then he submitted hi.
own considerations, making nine points
in the letter to Lincoln or Chase, in.
IluulhB IhO Wih6
First, That Bragg's army is now
weaker than it has been since the bat
tie Of Stone river or is likely to be fol
the present, while our army has reached
its maximum strength, and we have nc
right to expect reforcements for severa
months if at all.
Fifth, The chances are more thar
even that q sudden and rapid move
ment would compel a general engage
ment, and the defeat of Bragg's would
/ be in the highest degree disastrous t.
the rebellion.
+ Sixth. The turbulent aspect Of politics
in the loyal states renders a DECISIVE
blow against the enemy at this time a
i of the highest Importance to the sue
| cess of the government at the polls AM
in the enforcement of the conscriptior
act.
Seventh, The government and the wa
) department believe that this arm
ought to move upon the enemy. Th
army desires other country and is anxI
ously hoping for it.
Eighth, Our true objective point
