The acting adjutant general, Lieutenant-Colonel Scates, is a man of about fifty-five or sixty years old; he was a judge in Illinois, and left an honored and influential social position to serve in the army. General Ord speaks in high terms of him as an officer. The chief of artillery. Colonel , is an ass. The chief quartermaster, Lieutenant-Colonel , General McClernand's father-in-law, lately resigned his commission. He was incompetent. . . . His successor has not yet been appointed. The chief ...commissary, Lieutenant-Colonel , is a fussy fellow, who with much show accomplishes but little. General McCler- nand's aides went away with him or are absent on leave. Not a man of them is worth having. The en- gineer on his staff. Lieutenant Hains, is an industrious and useful officer. The medical director. Dr. Ham- mond, had just been appointed. In the Fifteenth Corps staff all have to be working men, for Sherman tolerates no idlers and finds some- thing for everybody to do. If an officer proves unfit for his position, he shifts him to some other place.
