General HORACE PORTER, whose arti-
cles on campaigning with Grant" will
be pu blished in The Century the coming
year. owed his position on Grants staff
to the latter's steadfastness OF purpose.
General Porter, then captain in the
artillery branch of the service, was IN
troduced to Grant at Chattanooga in
1868. The commanding officer saw in
t he young artillerist one who could be
of service to him, 80 he asked General
Halleck to assign Porter to his staff.
Captain Porter, who was the son OF the
governor OF Pennsylvania, had been
graduated third in his class at West
Point, and his brilliant service in the
field had brought him an appointment
In the Ordnance Bureau at Washington.
General Halleek refused to make the
transfer, and even appeals to Secretary
Stanton bv both Grant and Porter were
of no avail against department red tape.
It was not until General Grant wa
placed in supreme command of the armv
that he succeeded in carrying out his
purpose, and Porter VAS made one OF
his aides. From that time until the
close of his first term as President, no
man was closer to Grant taan General
Porter.
