THE FORMER INTENDED NO REFLECTION IN his Seen
TURY" ARTICLE ON THE LATTER.
Speaking to newspaper reporter in New
York yesterday Gen. Grant said that he
had again been misunderstood in regard to his
recent article I'M the Century" magazine on the
battle Of Shiloh. Gen. Grant said: "No reflection
was intended On the personal courage or zeal of
Gen. A. Med. McCook or the fighting qualities of
his division; on the contrary l expressly stated
that his division had marched from twelve miles
east of Savannah, had been up all night getting
from Savannah to the battlefield, and as a matter
OF fact they had been in heavy storm of rain
during the nights march. Gen McCook's division
did as good service perhaps as any division on the
field On Monday. the 7tn, and on one occasion
during that day the opportunity fell TO it TO do
service which received special commend ttiOn in
the Official report of Gen. sherman and two other
general officers OF the Army OF the Tennessee.
The only thing that can see in my article that
can be construed as rejecting on Gen. McCOok
(alth0ugh IL WAS not so intended by me) is the
statement that the request not to be sent in pur
suit did not come from the officers and men of the
division. but from its commander. What Gen. Nc
Cook saidwas correct: his should not have been
sent In pursuit, and acted on his advice and did
not send them. The article shows thjS.r

From the Evening Critic
The disastrous fire that occurred early this morn
ing in the press and stereotypng rooms Of our
evening contemporary Will be universally regretted
and the fact that it did extend to other depart
ments OF that Well-equipped Office Is a source OF
congratulation. The conf1aglation was very mys-
FERROUS IN its origin and very disastrous In its re-
suits, but fortunately the consequences are not

Despite the serious obstacles and difficulties the
enterprise ana resources OF our neighbOr and the
assistance Which can be given will meet the elner-
gency and repair the damage as rapidly as pos oe.

We deeply regret to have to chronicle severe

Thursday morning their fine new and most excel

and before the flames were gotten under control
damages amounting to about $4,000 were sus-
taned. With that energy which marks the
true newspaper men, facilities were hastily pro-
yfded by Mr.. Adams, the business manager and
the paper came out on the same day. There is no
paper more enterprlsing and popular than THE
personal one to each one of It's constituency Hap

The Star Shines Unclouded.

From the Cumberland md Times. JAN 90
There is not newspaper man in Maryland who
does not sympathize with THE WASHINGTON STAR In
Its present great distress. Yesterdays fire almost
completely demolished its presses and properties,
and while the paper was issued last evening it was
evidently done In the midst of many and severe
dlfhcult1eS. We trust that soon The STAR will
shine from an unc!Ouded armament. The same re-
lentiesS energy and force of intellect which has
made Tor this paper its present proud position will
doubtless build 1t up again, II, indeed, il is COM
peled for an instant to abdicate Its place at the
head OF capital Journalism.
