- THE fact Of General Governeur X. War
rem having been relieved from command of
the Fifth Army Corps at Five Forks, Va, In
1855, by order Of. General Sheridan, is his
toric and we'll remembered. Sheridan, It
appears, thought Warren did not move his
troops with sufficient celebrity on that occa-
sion and hastily displaced him from COM
mand Of the corps. Warren made several
sttempts to have the matter investigated but
did not succeed until 1870 when President
Hayes appointed a committee OF inquiry,
with General Hancock as senior and presid-
Ing officer. The court has completed its In
yestigations and the report, containing 1000
pages Of foolscap, the longest ever presented
TO the bureau Of military justice, was recent
iy submitted to Judge Advocate General
Swain for review. A dispatch says at Is
understood that the result of the entire in
yestigation ID that there IL nothing further TO
be done in the matter. The court Of inquiry
found that General Sheridan had not ex-
ceeded his authority, but that In one or two
instances he had misjudged the conduct of
General Warren. While the evidence failed
TO justify the trial Of General Warren by
court martial, It vlndicated In several partic-
.ulars the course pursued by him In that cam
paign. The Judge Advocate General is said
to oppose the general finding Of the court"
IL would be difficult to find any Of his old
army corps who would believe Warren could
be otherwise than q good soldier. He
marched and fought the Fifth Corps gallant |
ly, at times leading charge In person, and
wherever the fight was hardest Warren was |
present TO encourage his troops. III the
Fifth Corps did not get into position at Five
Forks as quickly -as. Sheridan wished, he |
might have recollected that the same corps
under Warren had relieved his cavalry when
the soldiers were 80 worn with battle, hum
