silly Twaddle

II is not often that we feel called
upon to chlde the st. Adams Mes
senger with being unfair but we
cannot permit its treatment OF Mr..
Ernest Bruncken to pass without a
word of protest The more than
the Messenger was to publish con
spicuously as a special article in its
issue OF January II, an argument
against direct primaries and to dis
the author. Mr. Brhncken is a
comparative stranger to Nermonters.
He is a man OF education and doubt
less gentlemen. Probably in his
home city he has sustained an e..
cellent reputation for veracity and
common sense He had no reason
to expect that to utter truth and
sanity regarding direct primaries was
an offence in Vermont. Assuming
these facts. how could the Messenger
have had the heart 10 expose him
either as a selfish tool of the inter-
ests' or a man so old that he fea s
any change in the scheme OF govern
ment? The Messenger. if uniform
ed from other sources, has had ample
notice from the Bennington Banner
and the Burlington Free Press that
timorous old men oppose direct pri-
maries. Mr.. B-uncken automatically
falls under one or the other of these
bans by the Messengers thoughtless
conduct We shall await the Messen-
gers apology to the unfortunate Mr.
bruncken.
We may add as a note of warning
to other Vermont newspapers that

at the mouth of Red river next day,
the combined force being under i'm
perative orders to be at Alexandria on
the 18th.
There was no time to be lost, for the
waters were ut high flood. The ek-
petition set out on the 18th. At the
mouth of the Atchafalaya Porter
turned off from the column with nine
gunboats to clear out any force in the
adjoining waters. leaving Commander
l.. S. Phelps in charge of the g~unboats
which were to convoy Smiths army
transports up to Fort De Russy.
The River Channel Blocked.
About nine miles below Fort De
Russy Phelps found the river blocked
by Instructions formed from a row of
driven piles with sunken logs wedged
between, and the troops were put
ashore to make their way overland to
the Confederate stronghold. Phelps
intended to sail up in front of the fort
and engage the attention of its defend
ers until the army could inclose it on
the land side. This plan was defeated
by the distractions in the channel.
Smiths force landed on the morning
Of the 18th and at nightfall took up
the march for the fort, distant ON the
route travelled about twenty-five to
thirty miles. Mowers division led off

Mower drew his lines up in front of
Fort De Russy the afternoon of the
14th. The position consisted of two
earthworks connected by a covered
way for the shelter of troops. It
mounted eight siege guns and two
field pieces and was garrisoned by 300
men.
There remained three days in which
to take the fort. scatter the enemy and
march to Alexandria, but General
Mower took no chances and with his
wearied troops rushed to the attack.

TAHE second week in March fifty
years ago was marked by q Sc
ries of important events in the
career of General U. S. Grant.
On the sth he met in Washington for
the first time in his life President Lin
coin. He had been summoned from
Nashville to the capital for reasons
which he supposed related to his fu-
ture control Of all the forces in the
field. In the evening at a reception in
the White House. attended by over 500
of the most distinguished people in
Washington, he was the hero.
In his memoirs Grant wrote of his
meeting with the president as follows:
I'm my first Interview with Mr.. Lin
coin alone he stated to me that he had
never ~professed to be a military man
or to know how campaigns should be
conducted and never wanted to inter-
fere with them. but that p~rocrastina-

that they were not all wrong and did
know that some of them were"
Grant Made Lieutenant General.
A commission as lieutenant general
was handed to Grant on March 8 by
the president in person, who said:
General Grant, the nations appre-
citation of what you have done and its
reliance Upon you for what remains to
be done in the existing great struggle
are now presented with this commits
sion constituting you lieutenant gem
eral in the army of the United States.
With this high honor devolves upon
you also a corresponding responsible
ity.'
To this Grant replied: with the aid
of the noble armies that have fought in
so many fields for our common country
it will be my earnest endeavor not to
disappoint your expectations. / feel the
full weight of the responsibility now
devolving on me, and | know that If
they are met it will be due to those
armies and. above all, to the Provi-
dence which leads both nations and
men,"
Next day Grant appeared at the
headquarters of the Army of the Po-
tomac on the Rapidan, where he met
its commander, General George G..
Meade. They had served together in
the Mexican war, but had not met
since. Meade was then Grants superior
in rank; also the elder of the two.
Meade's headquarters flag was very
snowy. having a golden eagle in a sill

cred on a solferino ground. A. r.
Waud, the war artist, said that when
Grant saw it first be glanced around
in mock wonderment and exclaimed.
"Is imperial Caesar anywhere about
here2"
Meade promptly assured Grant that
he would yield before any choice Grant
might make for a new leader In his
army, but Grant assured him that he
was expected to stay. After spending
a day in Meade's camp Grant started
the night of the 18th for Nashville to
plan the Atlanta Mobile campaign with
Sherman. Next day he was officially

charges connected with the Balls Bluff
disaster of October, 1861. Unfortunate.
ly for Banks enterprise, the current Of
the Red river is very treacherous at
best and in the spring of 1864 vas at
its worst. The rise of the waters was
exceedingly slow, and at the highest
the gunboats were unable to pass over
the rapids without help.
While Porter's ships were struggling
with the Alexandria rapids Banks
land troops marched on the Shreveport
road. being forced to a rapid move
ment by a time limit suddenly placed
ON the expedition. A new hand had
taken the helm of military affairs in
the days when Banks and Smith were
marching to the rendezvous on Red
river. On March 10 Grant assumed
command of all the armies, and in his
plans for a general movement of the
forces in May, 1864, part of the troops
on Red river which had been lent to
Banks for thirty days were needed for
Sherman's campaign in Georgia. Banks
was down on the new program for a
speedy advance on Mobile with his
Red river army.
