DISPATCHES.

Why Many of Them Were Dated
From the War Department.
Surprise is often expressed by very
intelligent people that SO large a pro-
portion of President Lincoln's most i'm
p~ortant kilograms and some of his let
tiers are dated from the war depart
ment instead of the executive mansion
and none of them from the navy treas
ury or other administrative bureaus.
This is generally deemed a very singu-
lar fact, and from it writer's have
plausibly drawn the conclusion that
Lincoln personally liked the secretary
of war better than any of the other
cabinet officers. While this indeed ap-
pears to have been true, it does not nee
essarily so follow. He certainly held
Mr.. Seward in high regard. yet he sell
dom went to the state department.
In the circumstances it was not at all
singular. The explanation is easy. War
was the business of that time, and Lin
coins yes were always bent to the
army, especially when great military
events were impending. He habitually
haunted the adjacent wal department
and army headquarters, where abode
General Haileck. his military adviser,
for news and views Head and heart
were s~trenuously concentrated on the
fight. wherever it might be. His fertile
brain saw, too. the critical points in the
game oftentimeS far more clearly than
some of his so called 'ablest generals"
He not only wished to know what Was
going on in the field, but performed his
w part nobly. In the heat of action
or at crucial moments his orders, sug-
gestions and inquiries were fired of
spontaneously from wherever he might
be at the moment. and at such periods
he was generally ''over at the war de-
partment" with Mr.. Stanton. That is
the chief reason why SO many of his
dispatches are dated at that depart
ment and not because he perhaps held
Stanton in higher esteem than the Sec
rotary of the navy or state or treasury.
