About Military Records.
CprcAso, Dec. Z2.-rhe Times says in
The various discussions in relation TO
tbs rat,rs,nent Of General Sherman, of
The z. s. Army, the point has been
ra,sed that General Sheridan IL not en-
titled 10 the mantle Of his senior. This
poiut ia based or on the alleged fact that
Sherldnn has been promoted irreguiariy
over the heads of his seuiors TO ms pres
ent position. In following mp this line
OF arguments it has been urged that
Ge,,erai Hancock WAS as fairly entitled
IN the prom ton as Lien'enrnt General
Sheridan. An investigation of the Wal
records shows that Sheridtn not only
holds his present rank by direct and
natural promotion, but WAS in one in
stance outranked or jumped by General
Mo dr. siozue actual appointment
ms Major General did not occur until
two days later than that of Sheridan.

quests from Meade's friends, who de
sired that his appointment should date

the Weldon Railroad. And III accord
ance with Meade's desire, Grant recon-
inended that his appointment should
date from that time, and the Secretary
OF War on November Goth, 1864. directed
