Colonel J. A. RAWLINS, Assistant Adjutant-General to General GRANT. Unless this be done, there are men who will, in any result falling below the popular standard, claim that their advice was unheeded, and that fatal consequence resulted therefrom. My own opinions are: First. That the Army of the Tennessee is now far in advance of the other grand armies of the United States. Second.
The general in actual command of the army should have a full staff, subject to his own command. If not, he cannot be held responsible for results. General Rawlins sank away visibly, rapidly, and died in Washington, September 6,1869, and I was appointed to perform the duties of his office till a successor could be selected.
This message was delivered to the sacred Sunday prayer circles. Even Senator Rawlins' mother received it, from one of the ecclesiastical authorities of her ward, who instructed her to vote against the election of her own son; and it was "at the peril of her immortal soul" that she disobeyed the injunction.
W. T. SHERMAN, Brigadier-General, commanding First Division. HEADQUARTERS, STEAMBOAT CONTINENTAL, Pittsburg, March 18, 1882. Captain RAWLINS, Assistant Adjutant-General to General GRANT.

Robert Hitt and his brother John, together with Rawlins and myself, formed a sort of four-in-hand, and we were very intimate. We would take part in the discussions in our society, and Rawlins was especially strong when a political question was raised. I have heard him, during his school days, make speeches that would have done credit to a statesman.
"Well," said Zenobia, "I reckon you all know Ned Falkner and the Excelsior Ditch?" "Yes, Falkner's the superintendent of it," said Rawlins. "And a square man too. Thar ain't anything mean about him." "Shake," said Zenobia, extending her hand. Rawlins shook the proffered hand with eager spontaneousness, and the girl resumed: "He's about ez good ez they make 'em you bet.
After all, there is no place like home, and at my time of life nothing to equal quiet. I can't tell you how sick I got of that French hole. If it hadn't been for Mary, and my old friend, Lady Rawlins, who, as usual, was in trouble with that wretched husband of hers he is an imbecile now, you know I should have been back long before.

Brian Fitzgerald's life hangs on a thread, and that thread is Sal Rawlins." "Yes!" assented Kilsip, rubbing his hands together.
