nest touching and significant message that

at least, continued throughout the war. Gen.
ersl BuelIs friends claimed the glory of the
final victory st Pittsburg Landing, and cen.
suTed General Grant for the disasters of the
first day. General Grants friends charged
the disasters of the fret day on General
BuelPs delsy, aud said they could have won
the victory without him. The letter was
written to General Fry, and is as follows:
