His departmental dis- honesty may be measured in dollars and cents; his head- quarters incompetence cost blood and grief both unmeasured and immeasurable. Who was responsible for the greater part of that awful loss of life, — a loss numerically nearly equal to the entire army Napoleon had on the field at Waterloo ? Primarily, it was that commander of the Army of the James who so utterly failed in doing the work he had himself in- sisted should be assigned him to do ; * and, secondarily, to the ...instructions made no efforts to arrange them, it will be apparent that properly co-ordinated movements could not be counted upon. ... In addition to the defective organization and inefficient staff arrangements which have been men- tioned, neither the Union government nor the Union generals ever made pro- visions, or seemed to understand the necessity, for a sufficient preponderance of force, to neutralize the advantages which the Confederate armies enjoyed, when fighting on the defensive, or to render victory over them reasonably certain." 1 Yet in his farewell order to the Army of the James of January 8, 1865, Butler boasted — " The wasted blood of my men does not stain my garments."
