I bave to thank yon for the courtesy extended to me through the colamna of the HeRatp for any- thing [may deaire to write on the events of the war. ' A Union general who was a department com- mander during part of that period could nardly fall to become spectal possessor of many facts tm- portant to tts history. Nor ts it much to say that this possession makes bim an involuntary trustee tor the beneds of the | public ana of posterity. ; Ihave always felt the obligation of this trast, and endeavored to cisonarge it. Officially, the public records of my military and civil adminis- tration, if not perieci, will, I believe, be found inferlor to no orbers, Personally, when relicyved from the com- mand of the Department of the Oblo to enable the President, by the creation of the Mountain Department, to provide for a political exigency; when relieved from the com- mand of the Army of the Cumberland after the campaign of Cnatanooga, and when relieved from the command of the Department of Missourt, although I abstained from laying before the public facts due to the trath of history because | thought thelr discussion would not subdserve the intercat of the nation, then in its straggle for life, yet I placed on oficial record or publicly stated enough to con- trauict the oMcial and personal calumnies by which {6 was sought to disguise or justify these latter removals from command, for which netther the public press nor the army could see good reasons, And, again, when in his annual report the Com- manding General of the Army signed his name to an official statement respecting affairs in the De- partment of Missouri while undef my command, in testimony before the Committee on the Oon- duct of tbe War, and iu my personal report to the Adjutant General of the Army, I explicitly called attention to the falsehoods oontatned in his state- ment, and gave the opportunity for an investiga- tion which would have vindicated history. To this extent I have discharged the auties, per- sonal and official, which circumstances have im- posed apon me; and sliould the custodifins of the Grciiives wuien contain these records be truthful to their trust they will in due time come before the public. Many of them have aircaday Deen pubilshed, and that others are not known has been owing to clr- cumstances over whicn | have had no control. ‘The calumnies contained in Badeau's “Life of General Grant” respecting portions of my military munagement have passed unnoticed by me, partly because the facts to refute them have been scat. fered broadcast by the press or in pub- lisnéa official reports laid before the | public, and partly because [I thought the , Ume inopportune when the exigencies of a gov- erning party rendered it necessary to prevent truths from becoming known which would tend to destroy the popularity of a leader whom—albeit against their betrer inatincts—lts chiles bave ieit | le necessary to set up. These reasons and the imperious duties of a laborious life have compelled me to leave unfal- | filled @ minor portion of what L owe to my country.

A Delightful Home for the Farmer and the Horticulturist. ALTERNATE FOREST AND PRAIRIE. CHARACTER OF A Day in the Camp of the Friendly Crows, YeLLOWSTONE EXxpepytr0N, ON Boako S7KameR Tumeur} June 10, 1875, Owing to the necessity of opening up to settie- ment more of the agricultural and mining regions of the far West, Which are now inhabited only by the so-called “noble red man” and a few despe- rate and abandoned whites, an expedition was lately organized, through the exertions of Liea- tenant General Sheridan, to explore the Yellow- stone River Valley and, as far as possible, the valleys of its tributaries, The gov- ernment chartered for this purpose the swift steamer Josephi which arrived at Fort Buford, Dakota ‘Terfitory, on the 2%th aay of May, 1875, with Brevet Brigadier Gen- | gral Jameg A, Forsyth and Colonel Frederick D, Grant, both of General Sheridan’s staf The former was appointed by the Ligutenant General as the commanding officer o1 the expedition, which consisted of compautesa E, G and H, Sixtn United States infantry, from the garrisons of forts Buford anu Stevenson, Dakota Territory. Tue or- ganization of the expedition was easily completed by patting the men, the nard tack and the bacon on board of the vessel, and by six o’clock P. M, on the 26th of May the boat was steaming up the “old” Missourt, amd twenty min- utes later entered the mouth of the Yellow- stone River. Owing to the high stage of water the mouth of the Yellowstone River ts blockaded by a delta of twoislands, but the ous- lets had such an immensely deep channel that the nervous gentiemen on their pleasure trip to Mr, Sitting Bull fainted from the enormous noise made by the navigators crying out, “No bottom.” Alter passing theso tslands a beautifal prairie, with occasional trees on the river bank, lies be- fore you, and will probably within a few years be laid out in homes for the thrifty pioneer gentie- man agricultur.st, Tae width of this Mat to the West 18 about ten miles and rang up the river Jor about fourteen miles. The east side of the river is 4 low, beavily timbered flat, about three miles wide, and ranges up the river in @ trianga~ lac shape for about seven miles, when the outlines o} thts lttle forest are stopped by “our barren lunds” described by General W. B. Hagen im his late pamphlet. Tho low and apparenily fertile prairie continues on the west sid. of the river tor several miles, with heavily timbered, low islands in Une river. At a quarter to one we arrived - AT CRITTENDEN ISLAND, and, after posting eighteen pickets om an untn- habited isiaud, tue soldiers and steamboat hands helped themselves to wood, Having laid im an abandant suip the boat pursued its course, passing 4 fine range of biuif, which would com- pare favorably with shose of the ‘American Rhine.” After passing these bluffs the land be- comes more barren in appearance, but might be 1 use for other purposes than agriculture, as evt dences of mineral deposits are numerous, Game bag its home on tius prairie, and three of our huaters succeeded in kiliimg six’ antelopes and two biack-talied deer, whica proved @ very ac- ceptable additivn to the culinary department of tue party. ‘This range of biuffs runs close to the riveron the east side a8 far as ten miles above Glendive Creek, the propose1 railroad crossing of the Northern Pacific Railroad, The only vegetable lie visible 18 the aromatic wild sage, and oc- castonally @ thin grass, unable to turive on ac- count of the dryness of the soll.
