General Rosecranz has shown, like most of the displaced Northern

leaders, but more than all of them, great magnanimity in his temporary disgrace. His speeches at Cincinnati on the 27th October betray no spark of spite against his Government, though they do show some surprise at his removal. " I hope," he said, " there is no disposition among you to question the act of the Government. I do not say this to stifle your feelings, but to wait for further light. To prevent any misunderstanding, I will state here that, since the battle of Chickamauga, the President has written me personally to express his satisfaction at what was done." He went on to rally good-naturedly the New York journals which have spoken of his failing health, his opium-eating, and other false charges, and concluded with encouraging the citizens of Cincinnati to make every sacrifice for the prosecution of a war which he evidently regards as holy. General Rosecranz, apparently, modestly as he spoke, did not believe that, after all his brilliant achievements, he was really to be shelved.
