A man of great fertility of mind and resource and of facile character, he was the factotum of the President, performed his bidding in various ways, and gave him the benefit of his brains in furtherance of the views of Mr. Davis. Mr. Davis's reasons for the selection of the members of the first Cabinet are given in his Rise and fall of the Confederate Government ( New York: D. Appleton & Co., 1881), Vol. I., pp. 241-3, in these words: After being inaugurated, I proceeded to the formation of my Cabinet, that is, the heads of the executive departments authorized by the laws of the Provisional Congress. The unanimity existing among our people made this a much easier and more agreeable task than where the rivalries in the party of an executive have to be consulted and accommodated, often at the expense of the highest capacity and fitness. Unencumbered by any other co

his power by summarily removing me from a high command. Believing that he was prompted to this act by animosity, and not by dispassionate opinion, I undertake to prove this animosity by many extracts from his Rise and fall of the Confederacy (D. Appleton & Co.: 1881), and my comments thereon. Mr. Davis recites ( Rise and fall, I., p. 307) the law securing to officers who might leave the United States Army to enter that of the Confederacy the same relative rank in the latter which they had believe that that conference attracted no public attention, and brought criticism upon no one. I have seen no notice of it in print, except the merely historical one in a publication made by me in 1874, See Johnston's narrative (New York: D. Appleton & Co.), pp. 78, 79. without criticism or comment. In the same paragraph Mr. Davis expresses surprise at the weakness of the army. He has forgotten that in Richmond he was well informed of the strength of the army by periodical reports, wh

imperative the swift concentration of all our then available forces upon Donelson. General Johnston, however, asserting that Fort Donelson was not tenable, would only support the position by directing the force at Clarksville to cross to the south side of the Tennessee River, and ordered immediate preparations to be made for the removal of the army at Bowling Green, to Nashville, in rear of the Cumberland River. See p. 487, Life of General A. S. Johnston, by W. P. Johnston. New York: D. Appleton & Co. He also prescribed that, from Nashville, should any further retrograde movement become necessary, it should be made to Stevenson and thence according to circumstances. He further declared that as the possession of the Tennessee River by the enemy, resulting from the fall of Fort Henry, separated the army at Bowling Green from the one at Columbus, henceforth the forces thus sundered must act independently of each other until they can again be brought together.? Fort Henry fell o
