During this i campaign he was promoted Brigadiei Iveneral, upon the demand of General ; Sherman, Thomas, Howard and Stanley, lor gallant aud faithful service." The 4th corps, to which he belonged, did not go with Sherman to the sea." The Genera relumed with that con s "an 1 took a heavy part in the battles of i i.uisim nu .Misuviiie. anil also in tin pursuit of Hood to the Tennessee river.

The General is one of those whose promotion, was due to merit alone, mid his sole object on entering the army was to serve hi? country ; and nov that b.s services arc no longer required, he retires to private life We hope, to see the people of Indiana reward his heroic scricesas they deserve. For twenty years to come, all the civil oflices in the gift of the people, should be conferred upon, those who have periled their lives in t.'ic tielil. lie w!;o 1ms proven him- f self a true friend of his country, in the ' army, would be such in civil life; and it) would be a credit to the Hoosier State, if in the next Congress it were " be iepre scntcd only by those who, though the ' last perilous years, had worn n coat j of blue, ,".nd had faced the enemies of ; their country on the buttle field.

Besides, many good officers were relieved because t icy became so far involved in local quarels as to impair their usefulness. There was no dishoncr attaching to the relief of General Schofield from command in Missouri, au event which turned out fortunate for himself and his country, as it enabled him to prove bis ability in the field by some of tlie most brilliant operations of the war. Yet when he was in St. Louis, a faction there, not without representatives in Congress, made the same charees against him that Jnlian peddled in Washington against Meredith a administration in l a ducah.
