INDIGNANT OLD ROSY.

He Fitly Characterizes the Villainous Attempt to Steal His Laurels to Deck the Barren Brow of the Republican Candidate. Gen. Rosecrans has sent the following telegram from San Francisco to the editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer: I will be obliged if you will smite the tripleheaded lie appearing in the Cincinnati Commercial of the 24th of September, about Gen. Garrield wilting all the orders issued at Chickamauga. None better than he knows that far the larger number were written—that all the written orders were at my dictation, of which his share was about fifty, Major Bond’s fifteen or twenty, and other aides and officers ten and lesser numbers each. Among Major Bond's was the order to which official villainy first affixed the word “fatal” as a part in its framework of gigantic calumny. It ought long since to have been buried with its author.

W. S. ROSECRANS.
