General John A. Logan, that brilliant, magnetic soldier. Of him, Presi- dent Mckinley spoke as follows :
"Logan's career was unique. His distinction does not rest upon his military achievments alone. His services in the legislature of his own state, in the national House of Representatives, and in the Senate of the United States would have given him an equally conspicuous place in the annals of the country. He was great in the forum and in the field."
"He came out of the war with the highest military honors of the vol -. unteer soldier. Brilliant in battle and strong in military council, his was also the true American spirit, for when the war was ended he was quick and eager to return to the pursuits of civil life."
General Logan's love and devotion to us only ended with his life, and at one of our reunions characterized our work thus :
"The Army of the Tennessee was not limited in its scope : the theater of its operations and the extent of its marches, comprehending within their bounds an area greater than Greece and Macedonia in their palmiest days, and greater than most of the leading kingdoms of Europe at the present day, reaching from the Missouri River on the north nearly to the Gulf of Mexico on the South, and from the Red River of Louisiana to the Atlantic Ocean."
The friendship and loyalty of Sherman to Grant was the first great cause of the success of both, and for the harmony that existed in the Army of the Tennessee. Sherman fell under the command of Grant at Paducalı

in the spring of 1862, holding a small command. He was the ideal soldier. as he dropped from a department and Army commander to that of a post. and later a division, without a murmur. Sherman's first words to Grant, on February 15, 1862, were these :
"I should like to hear from you, and will do everything in my power to hurry forward to you reinforcements and supplies, and if I could be of service myself, would gladly come without making any question of rank with you or General Smith, whose commissions are of the same date."
On the same date he wrote again :
"Command me in any way. I feel anxious about you, as I know the great facilities they ( the enemy) have of concentration, by means of the river and railroads, but have faith in you."
After the war, at a banquet given him in St. Louis, in 1866, at which, as commander of that Department, I was present, General Sherman gave this resumé of his campaigns.
"You cannot attain great success in war without great risks. I admit we violated many of the old established rules of war by cutting loose from our base and exposing sixty thousand lives. I had faith in the army I commanded; that faith was well founded. But there was the old story exemplified. We had the elephant, and again we had to put our wits to- gether and we concluded to kill the elephant. We did not like to do it. I contended at first when we took Vicksburg, that we had gained a point which the Southern Confederacy, as belligerents-so recognized by our- selves and the world-were bound to regard. That when we took Vicks- burg by all the rules of civilized warfare they should have surrendered and allowed us to restore Federal power in the land. But they did not. I claim also that when we took Atlanta, they were bound by every rule of civilized warfare to surrender their cause. It was then hopeless, and it was clear to us as daylight that they were bound to surrender and return to civil life. But they continued the war, and then I had a right under the rules of civilized warfare to commence a system that would make them feel the power of the Government, and cause them to succumb to our national authority. So we destroyed Atlanta, and all that could be used against us there will have to be rebuilt. The question then arose in my mind how to apply the power thus entrusted by my Government so as to produce the result-the end of the war, which was all we desired; for war is only justifiable among civilized nations to produce peace. There is no other legitimate rule-except to produce peace. This is the object of war, and it is so universally acknowledged. Therefore, I had to go through Georgia, and let them see what war meant. I had the right to destroy their com- munications, which I did. I made them feel the consequences of war, so they will never again invite an invading army. Savannah fell, as a matter of course. Once in our power, the question then arose, 'what next?' All asked, 'what next?' I asked advice again and again, but I got mighty little, I can tell you except from Grant, who is always generous and fair. No advice-no word at Savannah, save from Mr. Lincoln, who asked 'what next?' I told him I would tell him after a little while.
"Then came the last movement, which I do contend involved more labor and risk than anything which I have done, or ever expect to do again. I could take Charleston without going there. First, by segregating it from

the rest of the country so it could not live. Man must have something to live upon. He must go where there is something to eat, therefore I con- cluded to break up the railroads, so the people had to get out of Charles- ton or perish. Then the next thing was to place the army in Columbia, which I tell you is more of a place in the South than you are aware of. Years ago I thought Columbia would be the scene of the great and final struggle of the war. I thought our Western army would go Eastward and our Eastern army Southward to Columbia, and that we would fight it out there. The people there regard it as a place of security. They sent their treasure there. But if you place an army where the enemy say you cannot, you gain an object. All military readers will understand the princi- ple; and, therefore, when I placed my army in Columbia, I fought a bat- tle, I reaped the fruits of a victory-bloodless, but still it produced military results. The next question was to place my army still further where I could be in communication with the old Army of the Potomac-where we could destroy the life of the Confederate armies, for it seemed at one time as though they were determined to fight to the 'last ditch.'
"So we went to Goldsborough and then I hastened to see Mr. Lincoln and Grant for the last time. We talked the matter over and agreed per- fectly. Grant was moving then. I had been fifty odd marching days on light rations. My men were shoeless and without pants, and needed clotli- ing and rest. I hurried back to Goldsborough, dispatched everything with as great rapidity as I could, and on the very day I appointed, I started in pursuit of Johnston, let him be where he might. Now understand, that in this vast campaign we had no objective point on the map ; all we had to do was to pursue the Confederate armies wherever they might go and destroy them whenever we could catch them. The great difficulty was to bring them to bay. You can chase and chase a hare until the end of time, but un- less you bring him to bay you cannot catch him. Grant was enabled to bring Lee to bay by means of Sheridan's cavalry. I did not have sufficient cavalry ; if I had I might have brought Johnston to bay; but with my then force I could not, because my cavalry was inferior to his in numbers. Therefore, when Lee surrendered, Johnston saw as clearly as I had seen months be- fore, that his cause was gone. I had been thinking of it for months ; there- fore, when he met me and announced the fact that he was gone up,' I was prepared to receive it. It was just like a familiar song. It seemed to the North a new thing. We had expected it, and when they gave up, there was an end of it, as we supposed. How did they give up, was the question ; gave up-that was all. No use in fighting any longer. On what terms did they give up? I have described sufficiently clear in my official report all the conversation that took place, and all I will say is that the North seemed to be taken unawares, although every paper in the land and every county court orator had preached about peace for the last four years; yet when it came they did not recognize it. All I claim is that I was prepared for it from the start. The moment Johnston spoke to me. I saw peace at once, and I was honest enough to say so. But all that is now past and I am satisfied in my heart that we have peace."
General U. S. Grant. To this modest, charitable and just soldier and statesman the world has given its tribute. From those whom we fought and defeated have come the most gallant words of praise, and touching in

sympathy. President Lincoln, above all others, recognized his power and ability when he handed him his commission and gave him command of a !! the armies, and assured him that he should not in any way interfere with him. Armed with all the powers of the President, with carte blanche to use them as he saw fit. Grant made his answer at Appomattox, bringing peace to our nation and gratitude to the conquered. General Grant was a man of few words, and when called upon to speak of the Army of the Tennessee, paid it this tribute :
"As an army, the Army of the Tennessee never sustained a single defeat during four years of war. Every fortification which it assailed surrendered. Every force arrayed against it was either defeated, cap- tured or destroyed. No officer was ever assigned to the command of that army who had afterwards to be relieved from it, or to be reduced to an- other command. Such is not accident.'
President and comrade William McKinley, at one of our gatherings, paid this tribute to you :
"It is recorded that in eighteen months' service the Army of the Ten- nessee captured eighty thousand men with flags and arms, including six hundred guns. A greater force than was engaged on either side in the ter- rible battle of Chickamauga. From the fields of triumph in the Mississippi Valley it turned its footsteps towards the eastern seaboard, brought relief to the forces at Chattanooga and Nashville, pursued that peerless campaign to Atlanta and the seaboard, under the leadership of the glorious Sher- man, and planted the banners of final victory on the parapets of Fort Mc- Allister.'
It is said that the old Army of the Tennessee never lost a battle and never surrendered a flag. Its corps badges- forty rounds' of the Fif- teenth Corps ; the fleeting arrow of the Seventeenth Corps; the disc, from which four bullets have been cut, of the Sixteenth Corps-are all signifi- cant of the awful business of cruel war, all of them suggestive of the mis- siles of death.
It gave the Federal army Grant, Sherman, Sheridan : Mc Pherson, Fuller, Swayne, Howard, Blair, Logan, Hazen, John E. Smith, C. F. Smith, Halleck, Stanley. Rosecrans, Rawlins, Prentiss, Wallace, Sprague, Porter, Force, Leggett, Noyes Hickenlooper and C. C. Walcutt.

MISCELLANEOUS, CASUALTIES, ETC ..
MISCELLANEOUS.
September 1st, 1864-The camp of the Twenty-seventh Ohio Infantry was on the same ground at Marietta, Georgia, which was afterward dedi- cated by the United States Government to the use of a National Cemetery. There are thirty-five acres in the enclosure. all well covered with grass, interspersed with trees. The grounds are undulating and naturally beau- tiful, and no expense nor pains have been spared to keep them attractive. There is the usual massive, imposing granite arch over the gateway and just within is the keeper's lodge. In this cemetery, ten thousand two hun- dred and forty-eight of the nation's defenders lie buried. About seven thousand of these are known. Each grave has a headstone upon which is the name and the regiment to which each soldier belonged. Among them are the graves of five officers and forty-three enlisted men of the Twenty- seventh, twenty-seven of the Thirty-ninth. eighteen of the Forty-third, and twenty-eight ot the Sixty-third, Offio Regiments.
Our dead. Their battle fields and their graves: The prairies of Mis- souri; the banks of the Mississippi: the cotton fields of Tennessee; the mountains of Georgia ; the swamps of the Carolinas.
Some fill graves in the beautiful cemeteries of the nation, others in their northern homes, and some alas! fill unknown graves.
"Soldier rest! thy warfare o'er, Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, Dream of battlefields no more, Days of danger, nights of waking."

LESSONS OF THE WAR.
RECRUITING REGIMENTS.
During the war, when an old regiment became reduced in number- by reason of death or discharge, it became customary in all the states (Wisconsin excepted) to raise new regiments with experienced men, from Colonels to Captains. This was a grave mistake. The old regiments should have been filled up by recruits at the bottom and the vacancies among the officers filled with the best and the experienced non-commissioned officers of the old regiment, instead of allowing the old battalions to dwindle away into skeleton organizations. It was estimated that five hundred new men added to an old and experienced regiment were more valuable than a thousand men formed into a new regiment. It was found that soldiers accustomed to the open air, who lived on the plainest food, seemed to have less pain from wounds and were attended with less danger to life than were ordinary soldiers in the barracks. Wounds that in 1861 would have sent a man to the hospital for months, were regarded in 1865 as mere scratches. To new soldiers, blood has often a sickening effect, but war soon accustoms them to the sight of it.

THE ROSTER OF OHIO SOLDIERS.
-
The Roster of Ohio Soldiers published by authority of the State of Ohio contains many errors of various sorts, some of them are in mis- spelled names, age of the soldier, date of discharge, date and place of death, manner of death, whether wounded or killed, promotions and so forth, some of which reflect upon the name of many of the soldiers of the Bri- gade. These mistakes occurred through carelessness on the part of the compiler and his assistants in the Adjutant-General's office. At a reunion of Fuller's Ohio Brigade held in Columbus in 1878, a resolution was adopted to which Generals Fuller and Swayne concurred, requesting the Adjutant-General to send out an addenda explaining and correcting said errors evidence of which was furnished by members of the Brigade then living and have it pasted on the Roster, which had been distributed, but for some unexplained reason nothing was done in the matter of correction .*
*Have corrected for the Roster of this book as many of the errors that were apparent or that were brought to my notice. HISTORIAN.
