The "Century'so War Articles.

The war articles In the CeRtui7J. Md0q-
zine are full of interest, and are doing
much doubtless to increase the circula-
tion of that publication. About all the
writer's of the articles were prominent in
the civil war, and they do not hesitate to
express their opinions respecting the par
Elephants in that struggle, and to state the
facts, as they understand them, with re-
gard to matters of which they had per-
sonal knowledge.
Very naturally, statements are made in
the articles that call out contradictory
statements. No 0neof the writers, doubt
less, desires TO state anything but the
truth, and it is only reasonable that mis-
takes should be made. AS long as moth
ing is stated with malicious purpose,
and the proper corrections are made, these
unavoidable mistakes will do no great
amount of harm.
The articles in the May Century have
already called out two corrections OF
statements made in them. In one them,
written by Gen. Imboden, the statement
is made that Gen. Stonewan Jack
son arrested Gen. d. II. Hill.
at present living at Macon, at Edwards
Ferry, where the Contederates crossed
into Maryland, because ofhis indifference
to the obstruction of tho ford by his
wagon train. In a lett6t.to the telegram
and Messenger he ssy5'fhat iieFe inclined
to regard the ALLEGED incideni 10 which
Gen. ImbOden refers ~ Myth. He
says that Gen. Jackson never spoke an
unkind word to him during the war, and
that he was not arrested or reproyed by
| any one during the entire struggle.
Evidently Gen. Imboden got Gen. Hill
mixed up with some other General.
In the same number of the Century. in an
article written by Gen. Mcclellan, the
statement is made that the appointment
! OF MIR. stanton as Secretary of War, by
MIR. Lincoln, was brought about by his
! tMcClellan's) influence. A writer in the
/ New York San undertakes to show that
/ this could not have been the case. No
one doubts that Gen. Mcclellan was per.
/ iectly sincere in what he said. he is
mistaken he will doubtless take an early
opportunity TO make a proper correction.
AS very few men see the same thing
I the same way, il is not at all surprls.
ing that both Gen. Mcclellan and Gen.
lmhoden made statements that are being
c0ntr8dicted. In good time, doubtless.
