"TBK %KMV OF THK C^MBKRLAStL1" The sefumtt number of the series of voltnnes called "C ampaigns of the Civil War" is entitled "Tlte Army of the Cumberland." and Is written by Henry M. C:i*t. who was assistant ndjutnnt gen- errtAm rite stall of Gen.Hosecrans, mid afterward on the staff t»f f*t>n. Tkoinas, • nd hence was In'a |iosition of peculiar advantage to know the facts whereof the bonk treats. Strictly speaking, the volnuies covers more than one--or what should be more Minn-one--number of the series, since it covers several cam­ paigns. It begins with some account of that curious condition of affairs ilur- in^a part of the first yenr of the war. knnwo as the unrmed neutrality" of Kentucky; and the author t»ke>» the somewhat imiisual ground that this at- lllntie of the State was actnallv of great value to the general government. In the unprepared condition for war in which the government tound Itself this <va* possibly the case; but the at­ titude was not assumed because it was thought to be valuable lo the United Stains government. Those who would have been wilMug to assume the atti­ tude for such a reason were generally willing to go a atep further and be­ come actively friendly. From this pe­ riod the book follows the fortunes of the national 'forrek federating 1w lTen- ' Vn^'iNMtt'TPtinPi^.' "ritt* aavi'l»y«f» terwanl became iticorponited into the force tunned the uArmy of the Ouin- lM»rla nd.i,k<lowrt t<1 the battle of Mission or M.tsston.iry Ki<1ge. The limited i»lze of the volume made it necessary tocon- iine nil .neut Inn of meveineuts to bodies of troop* not smaller Hian a brigade, ejfeept In occnslonal cases This makes the h©»*k somewhat less satisfactory to those who might wish to follow the ca1- reer of single organizations, but en­ ables the author to present a better view of the campaigns as wiiolet-. The movements, on both aides, which cub minated In the battle at Mill .Spring, are traced with considerable attention to detail, as that was the first-notable sncces* of the vatirtnaT forces. To those who already have some inkling of the inside facts of the conduct of the war in the region ham«Ml during the sum­ mer of 1862 It will not be matter of surprise to nolo th*» high estimare which the author places upon tho sol­ dierly qualites of Gen. Buell. nor to timl that. In his opinion, plainly, that officer was sacrificed to the personal animosity and overweening vanity of Sen. Hnlleck. then In command ef all tbe armies. Nnr will they lie surprised to hear him--Gen. Btiejl--openly called the "Hero of Pittsburg Landing.^ No nne who Anything af the faots of thxt blood).' field doubts that it was Buell and his troops who saved the na­ tional cause from almost irretrievable disaster at that time. The author savs: "The greatest service that Qen. Buell rendered to Ills country wain as the or­ ganizer and disciplinarian of the mass of the raw, nn«ltilied troops that were hurried to the froriit under the need of the hour, and who, unaccustomed to military or other restraint, had al) the freedom that characterizes the Amer- snverelgtt both in speech and '"Army of the Ohio,' with Lewis Wal­ lace's division. Gen. Grant giving Boell largely hls diccretion the movement of the troops." It is gratifying^even at tills late day, to find a book which promises to take rank a» authentic bls- tory giving proper credit to one of the most hard-working and deserving, and most abused, officers of the enrly days of the war. The account of Hie battle' of Stone River, aud the movements leading to It. Is also very full and clear. a.nrl the curious similarity in the pl»n£ of Rosecrans and Bragg is graphically ' set. forth. The author finds the reason why our forces were so nearly defeated •there to have lain in •Gen. McCook's failure to carry out Rosecran's orders' Iti taking up his position, and ccnsnres Rosecrans onlv for having krosted the carrying out of the orders to McCook. and not seeing in person that the work was done as directed-- an error.doubt­ less. but a pardonable one, else what is the use of having c«irps commanders at. all. So with the movements that led to the battle at Chtckamnnsra. and the battle Itself. Th* ride of Gens. Rtose- crans and Garfield from the shattered wing of the army under McCo6k; ngain, to Rossvilht; the intelligence there received that the whole army was defeated and in full retreat for Chattanooga; the conference withftar- H« ld. and the advice of this officer to Rosecrans that under the circumstances hU plac« was In Chattanooga, and the acting on this advice--all th!s is stated in detail. If the intelligence had been correct, Garfield's advice was correct. But llie intelligence was derived from fugitives and strairglers. and should not have been made the buteis for such a vital step. On this point the author saysc "The reverse of this should have been done. Rosecrans should at once have gone to the front,anil by his pres­ ence there added, as he did at Stone River, more than any other thing to retrieve the fortunes of tiic day. ami pluck victory from disaster. Il"ad Rose- cranffgone to the front, and discovered from personal observation the true con­ dition of affairs, aud the spirit and morale of the troops there, the chances are that he never would have onlertvd their retirement to Rossville the night of the 20th. That was rite turning- point, and his hour had arrived." To­ ward Gen. Thomas the tone of the book is warmly laudatory 'whenever he Is mentioned. Closinsr the suminnry ot what, Ills work work wa» at C'htcka- inauga, the author sums It all in saving "there is nothing liner in history than Thomas at Chlckamauga." Truly* there is nothing finer, neither In history, nor poetry, nor legend. And as the years pass and the men and events of those days are thrown steadily into broader and more comprehensive perspective, there Is no mime of any leaner on EDUCATIONAL COMTil*.

To take these troops by the thousinds and make an army of fifty to seventy-five thousand trained, skilled soldiers, who Jn Inter days were to do as splendid fighting as the world ever saw. was a stui>endons undertiikinir. G<>n. Buell not only did this, but ae*. complished ht« task In time lo bring some of these soldiers, that lie was justly proud of, to the field of Shiloln where, under his eye, they met the ene­ my like veterans."* He does not. either, overlook the fact that Buell, la com­ mon with all trained officers* under­ estimated the military worth of th« thinking volunteer, as compared wit h the regular soldier, and he justly ascribes such failure as Buell made lo that wrong estimate. Again he saja: "It was Buell who planned the Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, and Nashville campaign, which Halleclv put under his iiat and proceeded to carry out as his original Idea, being careful to say noth­ ing in regard to his plans until they were so far executed as to render any action on the part of Buell and his com­ mand simply that of a supporting col­ umn. Then to Bpeli is due the credit of the second day's fighting at Shilob. That day's battle was tbe iigbt of tbe either aide which, will X&l,l><'r a more (tymioeirtflRf and ermdriug funic Hufifi Wlfl that of George ll. Tiinmax. The iijiiflf1' ",iri* ^ Jl It mtd ihat Geu.
