CHARLESTON.
SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30, 18(15.
Gen. Grant has told, in his report just
published, tho ?tory of those campuigus,
whose result will justify; in tho opinion of
tho niasB of mankind, his appointment to con
duct thorn. Tho report opona with a survey
of tho position of tho bolligoronts in April,
18G4, when tho Federal commander could
draw, no comfort from his sweeping glanco at
tho military cchcquicr, and concludes with
congratulations to tbo armies, which, in the
spring of 18G5, sliarod bis surpriso at their
own gigantic successes. The report will in
terest our readers, not so much as an or
derly and fairly authontic chroniclo of tho
battlos of that portentous period, but as a
revelation of tho deBigus and hopes of
tho mind which produced and guided them ;
and, in this point of view, disappointment will
be felt that the veil has been so charily raisod
from tho purposes nnd expectations with
which he rushed into battle in May, 180-1
To the dignity of history tho report makes no
claim, and tho world must learn tho Bufferings,
tho useless heroism, and tho sickening despair
of that era at somo future time, and from
soma other hand.
An exhaustivo criticism of this report
would necessarily bo directed to throe distinct
points: the authenticity of its facts, tho chnr
ftCtcr of the strategy narrated as measured by
tbo principles of military art, and tho literary
value of the narrative. Tho time has not yot
come to submit, to tho tost of historic analysis,
tho facts advanced by Gen. Grant: the evi
dence which might contradict or modify them
has not been given to tho world ; and, until
tho great leaders who opposed him have told
their tale, judgment must bo suspended on
his claims to accuracy. "With the lights we
have, the merit cannot be denied to General
Grant of having ondoavored to givo to the
world an impartial narrative. Ho does not
attempt to conceal the numerical superiority
of his own force, or to exaggerate the losses
inflicted upon hi? opponent. "The resource*
of tho enemy, and his numerical strength,71
he admits candidly, "woro far inforior tc
ours." On the 3d June ho admits a hoavy
logs on hi? part, and a comparatively light
one on the part of the Confederates ; and, in
summing up tho results of the combats which
had taken place between that date and the
opening of the campaign, he frankly acknowl
edges that "previous, attacks had not.all re
sulted in victories, or accomplished as* muel
as he had hoped for them.**' This will be the
first intimation to the people of tho North
that the progress of the Army of the Poto
mac, from tho banks of the Rapidan to those
of the Jarnos, was not the triumphal march
they had boen led to believe it. Whero in
.accuracies occur in the report, it will bo but
just to remember that a commander-in-chiet
muht rely for the details of battles upon the
accounts of subordinates; and no one who has
had experience of the difficulty, nay, impossi
bility, of obtaining a coherent narrative from
tho immediate actors on the battle-field, will
be hasty in charging upon a general an in
tention t? misrepresent. Gen. Grant, wo
have no doubt, has been misinformed, when
ho commits such errors as stating that "hit
troops were withdrawn" on the 3(Jth July
when, in fact, thoy, were driven out of th(
lines of Petersburg in headlong rout, by the
bayonets of Mahone; and in rolating that
oh the 1st April, "Gen. Sheridan aMgnltec
and carried a strongly fortified posiiWh at
Five Forks," whon,iu fact, there was noworl
which deserved the name of fortification, auc
no movement which General Sheridan conic
claini as an assault.
Thero is no problem more difficult than thai
of determining the relative degrees of influ
ence which fortune and conduct have exor
cised in tho production of given results; anc
in discussing military affairs especially, the
difficulty is increased by the.acknowlodgot
fact that war offers unuBiial opportunities foi
the intervention of fortune. Cicero advoca
ted in the Koman Seuato the appointmont ol
Pompey to command, on tho avowed grount
that ho was, tho favorite* of, fortuuo. " 'lb.,,
foremost man of all the world " pauses iu,f?b<
wonderful Btory of his achievements, to floh
feBs to mankind hie obligations to fortune
Napoleon complained that not hiaowi
genius, but fortune, abandoned him to ruii
and despair rit Waterloo. The preciso obli.
g?tions which the Lieutenant-Genoral owe?
to the same fickle divinity! wo loavo to souk
future .Jomini to determine, but tho cotompo
r?ry critic will not bo charged with unfair
ncss who points to her favors nnd to the im
monso power in his hands, as a sufficient ex
plunntion of his great succ?stses, without re
sorting to the hypothesis of his militar*}
genius. Fortune ehoworod her nuiles " upoi
hit" quarry," and tho application of tho'im
monso resources at his command to the do
Btrttclion of his exhausted foe was a task ai
simple as that of driving tho earof Juggor
ni'tut over its feeble, victims, * General Gran'
is fuUy.ftwa?? of this fp.ctj Und confesses freely
how little skill ; wn?' necessary to the acoom
pHshmentof hisipnrp?sos^ W'hen ho states hi

?U8A3.,,teaipst j ^eoVarm^.?rj^Q( pf ./hei ?afip?
and his resources, until, by moro attrition, if
in no othor way, thoro should be nothing loft
to him." This is tho principio which ho bus
contributed to tbo science of war, and ho do
8orvcs tho morit of having uovor lost eight of
it for a moment. Ilis man uvres woro a se
ries of display, on a giguntic scale, of bruto
force?; his sword cut by its own weight, and
not by tho cunning with which ho wioldcd it.
Ho hammered persistently at the Confederate
lines, inflicting, by heavy losses, which ho
could not well aflbrd, smaller losses, which
the exhausted Confederacy could not ropair ;
tho brilliant combinations, which sccuro vic
tory before tbo blow has boon struck, woro no
part of bis stratogy; and it is well known to
our renders that the handful of mon who laid
down thoir arms on tho fa.tal morning of tho
9th of April, at Appomattox, did so, notlo
causo they had been mnnceuvrod into a posi
tion which mado resistanco a military folly,
but because thoy had boon reduced to a num
ber which mado it a physical impossibility.
As an addition to military literature, the
report is of that intermed?alo character
which ncithor desorves praiso nor douHimls
censure. "When tho magnitude and number
of tho events recorded, and tho importance of
Gonoral Grant's testimony in rogard to them,
aro considered, his narrativo will not bo
thought to want conciseness ; exit it will be
impossible to claim for it those merits of
style which alono could place it on tho level
with tho military compositions of tho great
Captains whoso swords havo been as mighty as
their pens. The cordial recognition of the
services of his subordinates, especially of
J those of Generals Sherman, Meade and
Sheridan, do credit to his heart. Lut wo
must complain that many things in tho report,
and, among others, tbo strictures upon Rut
ler, however just, are scarcely couched in
those grave tones which become tho utter
ances of the historic muse. Tho pooplo of
the South will recognize a friendly -spirit in
his mention of the " manhood " and " horcu
lean efforts " of his opponent-?: and tho mode
ration displayed in his convention with Gene
ral Lkk, and tho fidelity with which hisproin
isos to his fallen enemy woro carried out,
have earned for him an exceptional claim to
our kindly respect. Moro ho cannot ask
from tho Southern poople^ who, with one
heart, havo awarded the hero's crown to
i another, and who abido with confidence the
i confirmation which they expect present and
futuro generations to give to their verdict, a
