and rush headlong into 3 war unprepared and
with an ntter ignorance Of its extent and pur-
pose. was then construed unsound; and now
that insist on war pure and simple, with no
admixture Of civil compromises, am supposed
vindictive. You remember what Polonius said
to his son Laertes: Beware OF entrance to
quarrel but, being in, bear it, that the opposed
may beware OF thee" WHAT'S true of the single
man. is equally true Of nation. Our leaders
seemed at first to thirst for the quarrel, will

sible elements of opposition !; and now, being
In, they would hasten to quit long before the
opposed" has received that lesson which be
needs / would make this war as severe as
possible, and show no symptoms OF firing till
the South begs for mercy; indeed. i know. and
quicker by such q course than by any seeming
yielding on our part. I don't want our Gov
ernment to be bothered by patching mp local
Governments, or by trying to reconcile any
class of men. The South has done her worst,
and now is the time for US topile on our blows
thick and fast
Instead Of postponing the draft till after
the elections, We ought now to have our ranks
foil of drafted men and, at best, if they come
at all, they will reach as when We should be in
motion.
think Gen. Halleck would like to have the
honest, candid opinions Of all of US, viz. Grant,
Mcpherson, and Sherman. have given mine,
and would prefer, Of course, that it should coin
eide with the others. STILL no matter what my
opinion may be, can easily adapt my conduct
to the plans Of Others and am only too happy
when find theirs better than mine.
If no trouble, please show Haileck's letter to
Mcpherson, and ask him to write also. know
his regiments are like mine (mere squads), and
need filling up Yours truly,
