BABCOCK, Com. • , - _ ,',L Tfie Responsibility nt Viekaburg, The charge In the New York Sun of ingratitude on the part of Gen. < J rant iu liis article upon Vicksfcurg in omit ting credit to General ltawlins is poor­ ly taken when General Grant takes the pains to say In the artirle that he had not made mention ol officers whose services entitled them to special notice because he could not do full justice r,o them in a magazine article. It will be time enough for anxious critics after they have read the chapters of the forthcoming volumes to make such charges, lngiatitude was no part of the o.d commander's character, and every soUier who fought under lii.n will say so. As to the men who influ­ enced the Vicksburg campaign, the Hon. J. B. Alley, of Massachusetts, writes to the Boston Hsraii aud gives the following conversation, held with General F. P. Blair, relating to the Vicksburg campaign: He said that previous to the attack upon Vicksburg which resulted in its surrender, a council of war was called, and General Grant submitted to his of­ ficers, consisting of General Sherman, Genersi Blair, and his otli^r military leader*, liib plan of operations, and be­ ing a man of few words, simply asked their opinions upon his plan as submit­ ted. The unanimous verdict of all the officers present, including Gen. Raw­ lins, his chief of stafl, subsequently his Secretary of War, was against his plan General Sherman in particular was very earnest i i ills opposition, and said it was most unmilltarv, and he did not think it could possibly oe success­ ful. General Grant listened to all they had to say, and remarked to General Sherman tintt of course he knew as well as he (General Sherman) that it was unmllitary, but iu his judgment it was the only pUn upon which they could possibly succeed, and dismissed the council. At 19 o'clock that night he issued an order for the movement of the army at 3 o'clock in the morning in accordance with the p'an of operations which he had fubmlited. This order he sent to General Sher­ man by the hands of General Rawlins, his chief of stall. General Sherman ex­ pressed his great concern to General Kfiwliii?, and said he could not forbear puttiug his protest in writing, for he believed it would be unsuccessful, and result in the ruin of General Grant, for whose reputation he felt the solicitude and anxiety of a brother, and lie im­ mediately wrote four pages of foolscap to General Grant, puttiug himself on record in opposition to the plan. In this view General Rawlins concurred General Grant received his protest but he did not change his resolve. The result everybody knows. General Blair stated that after It was over and the whole significance of the plan was fully comprehended, Gen. Sherman magnanimously stated that ilie whole credit and more--that all was due to General Grant; that not one of the generals had any right to claim any part or lot In the plan, ^ud he remarked further that there was nothing in all history in strategic ar­ rangement and performance that ex­ celled it. T|ie reputation of General Grant is perfectly safe in the hands of the liv­ ing men who bore au heroic part ID the threat ran test at Vicksburg, and men who failed while General Grant was living to make their u.alice eflectlve wi'.l have even a more signal failure now. I saw the Battle of Slilloh last event ing; and what a picture! t{o pen pao describe this wanderfulj9j}d realistic piece of artistic skill. For two long boprs I stood riveted to the spot, am a* ed with its realism. It carried ne Uack to that eventful day} all ejae^aa for- gotten; and Uke a vision, tf foukd my- lelf back again In one of the bltiAdiest battles of?the war. 1 he]position of my old regiment (the 2d Iowa Infantry) can plainly be distinguished. Our old Colonel (Brigadier-General in that battle) la there, mounted, and com­ manding hla Brigade. Col. Shaw and his regiment, the 14th Iowa, are in the hottest of the contest, Thefc8th and 12th Iowa are fierce In battle. Gener/ls Prentiss, Wallace and Hurlbut are here anxiously watching their commands. Gen, Grant and staff have come to the front. It Is half-past two o'clock. The battle is the bloodiest of the day, the Rebels in their uiotly garb (the butter­ nut and gray) arc advancing, brave and determined. Four times they charge, and four times the assault proves unavailing. The dead, the dy Ing, the wounded, are scattered over the field. The bursting shells, falling and shattered trees are all wonderful­ ly represented and true to life. In the far distance is Pittsburg Landing, and nearer is the Cotton field, the old S:ii- loli church, the Peach Orchard, the old historic washed-out road with Its red clay, which we used as protection from the deadly tire from the enemy, all are pictured with wonderful skill; and once seen never to be forgotten. Un­ like the Battle of Gettysburg, Shiloh shows a marked difference in the two armies* the one being plainly distin­ guished from the other by the great contrast In uniforms. A very instruc­ tive feature connected with this great picture are the lectures--one being from a Confederate standpoint, and by a Confederate; and the other by a Union officer. FKANK M. DALY, One of the Second Iowa TM8 SOUTHERN EXPOSITION. LOUISVILLE, Kr., Sept. 7. 1886. From our Regular Correspondent. Every foreign country represented at New Orleans last winter has space here and while some have trimmed their displays down to only the most Inter­ esting articles, others have increased the sice of their entire display. Es­ pecially is the latter true with Austria. Hungary and Prussia, who present herf the largest displays ever ma le by the fore mentioned governments at any ex­ position, The city of Damascus has a display alone worth a day's visit to examine. A loom upon which rich gold and silver rlotti tr wntw ittfftnwTTP operated by a skilled workman from that city. No patterns are used, and the designs are all the result of the eye. A piece of carpet six hundred years old, supposed to have been used by a prie»t In worship, is shown. It is remarkable for the beautiful colors and the fact that wear and age have not changed the original hue. Who has not heard of the "Damascus Bla ie," which would bend so as to allow the hilt and point of the sword to meet. It is a great curiosity, and the art of making it has been lost. This display Is called the uPriJe of Damascus,'" and represents not only an­ cient Damascus but the modern city. It is a well known fact that Damascus i* the only commercial city of ancient history which to-day occupies a posi­ tion of prominence iu the East as.a manufacturing pl&ce. Mexico has a large space assigned her. and the various samples represent­ ing her grains, grasses, fruits, minerals and manufactured goods are artistical­ ly arranged. Everything is Mexican, and the visitor can gain bv examining this display a very good Idea of the commercial importance and variety of products of that country which should be so olosely allied to the United States. In the center of the display is built an antique Ptgoda, quite attrac­ tive in Its architecture, and giving the exhibit H decided Coreign appearance Many visitors are presented with souv> enirs whicli they carry away ard prize very highly. The day Is not far distant when the average America*! will know more about Old Mexico. In the exhibit from India some mag­ nificent Indian shawls tre shown, and the ladies stand around and examine with much admiration this article of wearing apparel. Fine gold and silver woven fa de cloths and fancy articles ar? exhibited, while brie a-brac of all descriptions are on exhibition and for sale. John Chiniman is here and has built himself in the center aisle a residence and shop which looks very much like "China town,"1 and makes him feel at home. All his goods are manufactured frcm paper, and the whole cutfit looks as if one match would be a great agenoy In ridding the Southern Expo­ sition of at leastone foreign exhibit. Af another time 1 will write more about other foreign displays, but we will now go over to the exhibit made by "Uncle Sam." The U. S. Exhibit consists principal­ ly of models from the bureau of Ueol ogy and Ethnology, Illustrating Inter­ esting natural features and places la the United States, aha the occupations hsi'ses and productions of some of the more looted {ndtan tribes. In the latter connection the Pueblo Indians are taken up and tbalr homes, the seven cities of Mol^l, shown in plaster. The houses are bul t of stone, are all four stories high, built on rocky projections and the only entrance is through the roof. The productions of the aaeleat elifl dwellers are exceedingly Interest­ ing, and articles found show thai about the Stone Age, or some 500 years ago, they weie more proficient In the mann* fact ure of all kinds of earthenware and baking it until it became stone, thatt the most skilled artizans of the present age. They formerly had a way olt making jars, jugs, etc., out of straw and coating it over with clay prepared In such a way that to this date, fonr or five centuries later, the vessels are per- , fectiy sound and useful. Prof. Keaii's collection of Indian an­ tiquities and productions Is shown alongside of the modern productions^ of the Indians who n<jw dwell In the " Mokl villages, and the resemblance is ver3^8r®*t indeed; no important lm-;| provement has been madei; and If any thing, the articles made are Inferior, proving that formerly a superior rict< to the present Indian occupied the* territory now claimed and settled up as the Unite 1 States. Most of the! ancient pottery, etc., found has been dug out of the mounds of Indian burial grounds. To be fully appreciated, this depart­ ment of the Southern Exposition must: be visited and examined. A person ; can learn as much there lu one day as in a whole year at school. Of all the big days Louisville etfer ^ experienced, it Is intended to make < the 17th of this month the ' red letter day" in the history of this the greatest of tobacco markets in the world. It Is estimated that 130,000 hogsheads of i tobacco will be marketed here this sea­ son, and that by the 17th inst. over | 100,000 will have come In. It is there- fore intended to celebrate and have a "Tobacco Day." All the producers of v tobacco in the country are expected to attend, and have been sent invitations, including admission to the Exposition. ; Five thousand dollars has been raised ' by t^ie merchants and tobacco dealers : here to defray the expenses of the day, . There will be special attractive fea­ tures at the exposition that day--three concerts and elaborate fireworks In the evening. Very truly. £ W.D.IL K**eraber!nK General Ursat ^ Th» vigorous protest of Gen. Sher­ man against disturbing the repose of ; General Grant,eulered In his speech of Wednesday evening, was a just rebttko of the movement for Ihe ami sensible was It that tl no further apprehension on that score. He not only expressed his own senti­ ments, but those of the Grant family as well. Of course no disturbance of that sacred rest would be authorized by Congress against the Known wishes of the family. The speeches of the' two evenings were of a high order and In good taste but It roust be confessed they added very little to the general stock of In­ formation about Grant, neither were any off the' sentiments expressed In re­ gard to him debatable. The American people know General Grant as they never can know any other man who has done his work and lound rest from his labors, and, as a consequence they have a CM^Ity of feeling In regard to him. The obt^r shell of his life has never been crusted overfly the goody-goody lies of a Deems, with his apocryphal hatchet story, invented for moral ef­ fect. The Grant of real life stands re­ vealed to the gaze of the people on- draped by auy misleading toggery. General Sherman touched a vein of philosophy when he observed that eaoh epoch creates its own agents^ and that Grant mors impersonated the Atifteri- can character of 1861-0 than any other man who had lived. I: is seldom that genius is so truly representative. Great men are often ahead of their times, audsee to day what the world will not perceive until some remote day, when all will be clear and obvi­ ous. General Grant en the contrary belonged to the world of action. He could and did do what the country wanted to have done, and therein was his representative character. In his military Ideas he was as single and as grand as Mount Blanc. Rising to a height above his associate officers he had a certain solltaryuess as pronounc­ ed as that of August Comte In the se­ clusion of his meditations. The story of liis responsibility for Vicksburg, as repeated Irom the lips of John B. Alley in the Inter Ocean of yesterday. Is not new. General Sherman himself has told it more than once, albeit at his own expense. The truth is. General Grant was able to grasp the greatness of the military situation. To his genius .It was all as shnple as the movement of a single brigade. Vastness did not confuse and mystify him. While it is too late in the day to say anything really new about Gen. Grant, it must be remembered that changes are going on all the while, and that frequent Iteration is necessary to maintain the standard of popular In­ telligence. The American people can not aflord to allow the august person­ ality of General Grant to be covered by the dust of forgsUnlMM.--J*U«r Ocean, Sept. 11th. •*! *< .iSFFj ' 'ii • At this season of the year during th* heat of aurnmer, every farmer and dairymen should keep in readiness s bottle of Dickinsons Cow Prescription as it will prevent their cow irosa hav­ ing Mi|kj^ever, causes her to Jo well, cuus-^nget and all diseases of Unr coFor sale by all druggists j ii! •••» •
