up the Ohio they had to be disem-
barked at every shoal and marched
around it till the steamers could be
spared over, and that, after all, they
found the railroad broken by Early's
raids In short, as the interests of the
service had been his highest aim, to be
pursued at any personal sacrifice, he
most respectfully requested to be re-
heYed from his command by some Off
Ger more enjoying the confidence of
the President
The same day, July Is, he wrote to
the AdjutantGeneral, requesting to be
relieved from the command of this
department, where my services can
be of no further use,' and then sec
ond time to the same officer, reiterat-
ing this request; while Crook, arriving
that day from West Virginia with two
OF his brigades, 3,400 strong, was or
dered by him to relieve Sullivan and
take command of all the forces in the
field.
The very day, July Is, that Hunter
sent this letter from Harpers Ferry,
where he had arrived from West Vir-
ginia the day before, he received the
most powerful of all rcinforcements for
his cause. j am sorry wrote Grant to
Dana, to see such a disposition to con-
denim as brave an old soldier as Hunter
is known to be without hearing. He
is known TO have advanced into the
the eDcHyS country toward their main
army, inliicung a much greater dam
age upon them than they have inflicted
upon us, with double his force, and
moving directly away from our main
army. Hunter acted, too, in a country
where he had no friends. Even the
enemy give him credit for courage and
congratulate themselves that he will
give them a chance of getting even with
him. Two days later Hunter hearing
nothing from Washington, wrote
brief letter to President Lincoln, ask
Ing to be relieved from the command
of his Department. When an officer,
he said, is selected as the scapegoat
to cover up the blunders of others,
the best interests of the country re-
quire that he should at once be re-
1ieved from command President Lin

had a higher reputation than he
gained. Some explanation as to his
troubles is given in a note by Geo. E.
Pond in his admirable little volume,
THE Shenandoah Valley
There had been disposition at the
War Office to regard Hunter as the
cause of all the mischief eliminating
with the siege of Washington, but q
special grievance seemed to be his neg
lect to telegraph frequently to Halleck
and Stanton. Gen. Halleck, the 14th,
suggested to him that Gen. Crook
would be a suitable person for the i'm
mediate command of such troops as he
might send to form a junction with
Wright, adding that for the last two
weeks little or nothing of a reliable
character has been heard from YOU.
Hunter replied in a spirited letter to
Stanton, expressing regret for such an
imputation, on the ground that it must
be the Presidents conveyed thru Hal
leck. He said that if any important
events had occurred in his department,
of which necessarily the War Office
must not have learned earlier than he,

edge; that his first step in hearing of

Battery G. 4th U. S. Art. had been in

splendid service in the Florida and

Founders and two 12-pounders and sent

could have telegraphed many alarming

already be more than enough in the

Moreover, ne was too busy day and

Gen. Jubal A. Early was a man of

that Lee had selected him especially to

Sheridan was a man who planned out
everything very carefully beforehand
and never struck until he was quite
ready. He now delayed so long that
Grant became uneasy, and. leaving his
headquarters quietly, went directly to
Charlestown, avoiding stopping at
Washington. In his pocket he had
carefully prepared instructions for
Sheridan to Immediately engage and
destroy the enemy. Without saving
anything about these, however, he
waited for what Sheridan had to say,
and was so astonished and pleased at
Sheridan's complete knowledge of the
situation and his plans for attacking
the enemy that he said nothing about
his own instructions to him, but merely
told Sheridan to go ahead and do as he
proposed. Grant then returned to Pc
