This paper Was drawn up on the 8th of June. After its presentation, and a full can: ing of the situation, an advance was agreed upon; but it was delayed throuzh days waich secined months to me, ull the When it was besun and ended with what re youknow. The wis- doin of tie movement was not only vindicated, but the seventeen dissenting gencrals were compelled to confess that if the movement had been wade ten days earlier, while the weather was pro- pitious, the army’ of Bragg would, tn all hun probability, no longer exist.

Ihave since then urged with all the earnestness I possess a rapid advance, while Bragg’s army was shattered and under cover, and betore Johnston and he could effect a junction. Thus far the gencral has been slogularly disinclined to grasp the situation with @ strong hand, and make the advantage his own. I write this with more sorrow than I can tell you, for I love every bone In his body, and, next to my desire to see the rebellion biasted, is my anxiety to see him blessed. But even the breadth of my love is not sufficient to cover unis almost fatal delay. My al relations with Gen. Rosecrans are ‘all that I could desire.
