1t looks as though the United States

visory board agreed that the largest YES.
sci should not be built, so expensive
vessels not being now required. and the
secretary adds that if finished, it would
not be adapted to the present condition
OF the navy. TIE secretary says: In

commencing only two steels, it does not
seem wise to start with one to cost S2,.

a SCRAP OF HISTORY.
Sherman Charged with breaking Prom

Sherman Charged with breaking Prom
ise Made to Logan.
Washington, Jan. 2-The somewhat
vague allusion Of Senator Logan in his
opening speech in the Fitz John Porter
case, to the battle fought without an or.
der from the commander, has created
some discussion among officers of Sher-
mans army, and it appears that some of
them understand perfectly what the oc
casion referred to was. Gen. Logan when
asked about it simply said: "See Sher-
mans reports" and Sherman when asked
about it said: "No doubt Logan is we'll
fortified with authorities" but disclaim-
ed distinctly recollection of the specific
day when great battle was fought
by his soldiers without his
direction. 1t was considered somewhat
curious that both Logan and Sherman
should manifest such aversion to discuss
the matter more distinctly than was em.
bodied in the senator's speech. 1t seems
there is personal ground for reticence,
and that it is subject which must needs
be handled with great delicacy by those
two gentlemen, in view of associations
arising from the occurrences of the day
IN question. Upon very high authority
it may be stated that the day referred to
by Logan in his speech was the 22d of
July, 1864, when the bloodiest battle be
fore Atlanta was fought and Mcpherson
was killed. In this connection circum-
stance is related which shows why it is
that Logan and Sherman speak SO care
fully and indistinctly about this memoir
able day. It is said that on that night,
near II o'clock Logan withdrew from tho
field, accompanied by two or three staff
officers. and went to Sherman's head
quarters few miles distant. He related
to Sherman the occurrences of the day
and asked orders for the operations of
the 23d. After he had told his story,
Sherman complimented him in the high.
est terms for what he had done and told
him he should command the army of the
Tennessee, which consisted of his
own corps and tive others.
The order, however, to take
command was never written, and from
that day until the 9th, or five days, Lo-
gan commanded the army by seniority
Upon the 9th, however, Gen. Howard
was introduced as commanding officer of
the army of the Tennessee, and the su-
perior of Logan and the other corps
commanders. That midnight promise
given and broken by Sherman, ending
as it did in all the bitterness, heart burn.
ings and hatreds between the officers OF
West Point and the volunteers, is the
key to their respective silence with
reference to the battle without orders.
