SHERMAN. The Attack of Gen. Boynton upon the General of the Army, “Sherman’s Historical Raid: The !

To the Fditor of The Clicago Tridune? Cnicaao, Nov. 24.—In the memorable political campalgn of 1840, the great queation rsised by the great orator, then Benator--now Governor— Willism Allen, of Ohio, was, Who Lilled To- cumseh? Mr. Allen traversed the country through, exhibiting Col. Richard M. Johnaon as this Liero, and it made him hold up to gaze his hands to show the people what parported to ba weara of wounda taceived in tho laat struggle with that groat Indian warrior, tho revengeful {foo of ths whito race, At thia time ths country in agitated by the question, Haa W, Tecumach Bherman hean destroysd ?—has hie boen et down from the high pedestal whoro ho has been placed by tho voico of his warriors and the nation, ass most honored, honorablo, and distinguished warrior, and his laurels torn off as unmerited. and his body cast to the ground sy dishonored ? The groat Indian warrior novar pursued with more relontless purpose, or by more ekilltal ways—ho nevor. with his keon knifo and power- ful tomabawk. struck with keener and mora de- termined blows—thau has W. Tecumsol Bher- wan been PURSUED AND FTRUCK BY HOTNTON, wiolding swhat is a more powerful weapou,—mors powerful in {ts effocts,-—tho keen edge of tho pen, gulded by & romorseless purpese, and & okill and power of the prostest erimi- oal lawver. logoton bas followed tho stops of Shorman through every battle- deld, tbrough overy letter and paper whick have found thoir way to the fllea of tha War Department, by the muititude of channela mhich led to it during the War. By wesding out wich =ueuited hin, Boynton hss made upa vook and scattered it brosdeast throughout tho land, declaring tberein, with apparent joy, that iho army ollicor whom Lincoln, Btanton, Grant, snd otLiers, doligted to honor, aud confide in,ho 1ny, by the records, praved to bs & mau who de- tracted from the roputation which rightfully be- longed to Grant; misroprosentod and betittlod Tuomas; withhold justico from Buoll ; repoatodly loaded failures, for whicl he was responsiblo, now on Thomas, now on Mecl'herson, now on Schofield, snd again upon tho thras; that e, in his memoirs, is unjust in the extrome to Ross- crans, snoers at Logsn aod Blair, and insults Hookor, and sianders Stanton ; that Lo la egotis- tical, unroliablo, und aujust to Lis associates. This is o most formidable acray of chaiges sad specifications; and waen, after the ovidorco is in, aud tho Rrgnments mads by a man o skilltul snd well-informed as Boyutou, aa he laoks round, in tho summing-up, upon tho result of bia great efforts, and points to his antagonist as if despollod of his hovora aud lying dishonorod in tho dust, the people may wellloock up with sueprlge. - OEN.

That this earlier desiro of Grant to movo should not bo scceded to by Halleck is not to the credit or diseredit of either, Halleck had at St. Louts a wider fleld to survey, and groater movenvuts to provide for, than Grant, whose cconnamd and whosoe viawa waro then limited to Cairaawd thoona fleld and movement beforo hint. 1L in no way dotracta trom the roputation of ang of the mavy educated officers if, in tho ramo general field of operations, thoy wora peck- ing solutions of tho same problsm, and arrived reveraliy at the rame goneral conclusion, thongh by different roadn, No great ovont or disc {ol tho ages but it hea been clearly proved, whon fairly launched out inta practical ues, that many widoly-saverod and skilled minds wero working and had worked nearly out the eame gonoral problem, nnknown to each other.

'The samo result is in military no- tiona of cultivated minds ‘n the same field, Whilst many wore thinking of the move, Grant, undor orders, or by permission, mado it, and gained tho first great victory of the War, nnl fy ontitlod to the fullest cradit, Wuo originatad firet tho thoyght, ia of litile moment, and cannot be known, Thoro 1a & most persistent effort to shosw that Shorman should bo held rospousible for tho FIRST DAY'S BAD RESULTS AT BIULOH: aud that the ssmo came from pormitting Limselt tobosurprised.

At anothor time, it was to capture and march from Bavannali simultanaously, making that a baso of supplics, aud, keeping Atlanta, thon go to Macon, and thero make another baso.

On tho 19th of Qctober, Tlallsck telographs tist the auzhori- tios wora willing ho should carry out his wishes ; but no order is 188ued,—no plan marked for hint, Anotlior of Boynton's great charges 1, that Bhorman hsd ordera to leave only on thehappen- 1ng of cortain thinge; he was fo take just so miny troops, and Isavo just Bomany to Ihomas § and he says Bherman DRCEIVED THE AUTHORITIES AT WASHINGTON ap to this, and theroby Lo ubtained the order, not permission, to go; that bo left Thomas with an insufliclont forco to defond hia lines, aud this causod Thomas great delay, and got Lim tnto +that trouble whick came “so nesr suberseding Lim before the groat battle of Nssnville was fought sud won.

Itis strange thst Gen.

Hlve, so peraistently urged from Washington to attaok wheu too weak to doit. If, when Sher- mau loft, 1z consed to report, yotthe morning reports of all who wore loft behind, of the pres- ent and tho absent, were the very moxtday msde up sad sent through Thomas to Washing- ton; and at each placo the trus case was fully known, No ezpostulasion or complaint was msds cither from Wasbington or Thomss. On the coutrary, Thomas, Nov, 13, telegrapha Sherman: +*I have no feara that Beaurogird can do us any barm now, If he attemyts to follow you, I wiit follow him as far sa possidlo. - If he doss not foilow you, I will thoroughly organize, and be- liave I'sliall have men ouougls to ruin him, un- less hogets out of mv way.

" And Grant, Nov. 2, telogiaphed: * I do nok 4ea that you csn whhdraw to follow Hood, ‘without giving ap all wo have gained of tarritne 1y, 1uoy this; Goon vou propose.* And Nov. 71 **1%08 no reason for changiug your plan, 1 thiak evergtling favorabls now, Great good fortuae sttend son, I belleve you will ba eminently successful.” Bherman did go on, and warched to the ses. And now, after the march from Atlonts to the ses, lat thers Lo applied wugaln to Boynton tho rule of fudgment he spplied to Bhor- 1mau abous Rosacrans, and disposs of the'book by quotiog what ths President, Grant, and uthera, wrote to Shermaa aa to the origin of this Marah to the Hea, and bis mode of loaving and exacation.
