The oomniupioatioo in the Ckroniele [nquírea, " Where was tho answer when Halleck'a inaultlhg order vtis published ?:' and snys, " If Mr. Stanton publishe.d this order, nnd will not now openly acknowledge that it was fuundtid in error, he oontiuues an insult; and neithur his person nor rank oan shield him. The oomrnunieation also inquiref, " Had not an offioer in Gun. Shermun's position the right to expeet somo efïort on the part of his departinent to stay the tide of ealiimny ? The very moment of the return of Grant with tho unuouditinnul' snrrender of Johnstou, provod how groundless and fooliï-h had been the idle feara at Washington."
