impose upon him any obligation to publish
it. They cannot possibly anticipate the
reasons which may influence him in accept
ing or rejecting a communication, and they
must take the character of the paper itself
as proof of the excellence or effectiveness of
his Judgment. 1t is common thing, for
example, for the editor of The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE to receive communications in
which the arguments and facts set forth are
identical with those which he has himself
employed in his editorial columns, so that
their publications would serve no special
purpose. It is not every one who possesses
the ability and literary training necessary
to the making of an acceptable correspondent
for the press, and of course we do not expect
from our contributors that perspicuity of
language and elegance of diction which
characterize the professional writer. but, on
the other hand, clear ehirography, adher-
ence to the rule to write on one side of the
paper only, and brevity of statement, are
requirements which, it seems to us, may
reasonably be insisted on in all cases.
The more letters he receives, the better
pleased the editor of The NATIONAL TRIB-
UEE viii be, but so long as it is a physical
impossibility to publish them all, some of
his contributors must content themselves
with the assurance that he takes their advice
and counsel to heart, and viii endeavor to
profit by their suggestions.

Blunders of afilltary writers.

Captain Theodore A. Dodge United States
Army, retired) has written a book. entitled
" a Bird's-Eye View of our Civil War; A
birds-eye view of battlefield may be as
good a view of it as any, but in the examina-
ton of records a closer inspection is de-
sirable, if one cares for accuracy.
In the opening of the chapter devoted to
Charlottesville, we find the following /:
" At this time January &c, 1861 so lax had
been its discipline, some eighty-fve thousand
officers and men appeared on the rolls of the
Army of the Potomac as absent without
leave"
This writer refers to the date on which
General Hooker relieved General Burnside
in command of that army, and this deplor-
able condition of affairs is attributed to the
inefiicieney of the latter.
We have had the curiosity to consult the
consolidated morning report Of the Army of
the Potomac, On file in the Adjutant- Gen.
erals Office, and find that on January 30,
1863, the report shows
Number present.. 2i3 1852
On detached % 204
Absent sick 80 203
Absent on 1913
Absent without leaye,......................s 3423
Aggregate present and absent $50 095
1t must be remembered that this return
is dated twenty days after the battle of
Fredericksburg December 81, 1862, when
the wounded (counted in returns as sicka(
numbered over $4,000. The official returns
of the army are accessible to any writer, and
errors such as the above are objectionable.
Another blunder, manifest to every milf
tary writer occurs in the article on Gen.
eral Sherman in the January number of
The Century magazine.
Mr.. Z. V. Smalley, the writer, says Cen
eral Sherman had the key of the position at
Shiloh and held it. If by his first position
at siloh church, Mr.. smalley means the
"keyp to the Union position, he had to 90
no farther than Sherman's Memoirs to
find that Sherman was compelled to
Withdraw from that position before noon.
If he alludes to the position to which
he fell back, the term key would hardly
apply; certainly, it was not SO regarded
by the Confederate commanders. Sher-
man had the extreme right, and the angle
formed by Prentiss and w. Fl. L. WalIace's
divisions, termed by the Confederates the
Hornets Nest,D was, without doubt, the
key" to the second position, and against ii
General Johnston hurled his strongest br-
gades, losing his life in the final successful
assault.
General Sherman, always grand in battle,
| if possible, surpassed himself at Shiloh, but
it is not necessary to his fame to rob the
