CRY POINT, Sept. 26, 1864.
Major General Halleck, Wsshington-If
General Rosecrans does not send forward
the regiments belonging to Gen. Sherman,
arrest him by my order, unless the Presi-
lent will authorize his being relieved from
his command altogether. u. s. GRANT,
Lieutenant General.
CRY POINT, Oct. IL, 1864.
Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary Of War
On reflection, l believe that the safety de-
mands the removal Of Rosecrans, and the
appointment of q subordinate General in
his place. The present movements of
Hoods army, especially if he should go On
to the Mississippi River, may make it
necessary to have 9 commander in Mis-
souri, who will cooperate.

made public for the first time.
