command the whole still think 1t highly essential
that these four departments should be In one COM
mand. don't Insist that the departments should he
broken up. nor do insist upon Gen. Franklin COM
handing. All ask is that one general cficer, in

mand the whole. Gen. Franklin was named because
he was available, and know him to be capable and
believe him to he trustworthy. II would suit me
equally as well to call the four departments referred
to military division 'and to have placed In COM
mand OF II Gen. Meade. In this case would suy-
gest Gen. Hancock for the command OF the Army OF

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE work of pre-.

light some Interesting dispatches from Gen. Grant
upon the subject Of the assignment 10 command In
the Shenandoah Valley after the raid into Maryland
and the movement against Washington In July, 1851
1t has heretofore been supposed that Gen. Grant
nfst insisted upon Gen. Sheridan for that service.
u now appears that he suggested Gen. Franklin In
his nist despatch, and next Gen. Meade white the
further interesting fact Is brought out that In case
Gen. Meade assigned Gen. Grant desired
Gen. Hancock to he placed In command of the Army
