"The War in Kentucky: The Rebels Still Retreating and Gen. Buell Pursuing – 3-4"

Buell's victory at Perryville was unconvincing and his pursuit of CSA Gens. Bragg & Smith halfhearted.
Both Union and Confederate generals' reputations will be tarnished by the battle -- the Union army will be reorganized and Buell eventually forced to resign; CSA Gen. Bragg will have to answer to Jefferson Davis and then keep his job for another year before being relieved of command, after Chattanooga.

Some historians consider Antietam and Perryville as markers of the war's great turning point.

"The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad – 4"

Did you notice our editors' description of Stuart's raid into Pennsylvania?

"...opportunity has thus been afforded Gen. STUART to accomplish one of the most brilliant and effective dashes which has ever been executed -- thus again reviving the depressed condition of the Confederates, and creating the greatest annoyance and mortification to the loyal people of the North."

After major defeats at Antietam and Perryville, Confederates can console themselves with Stuart's "most brilliant and effective dash...".

Seems a little odd to be heaping such praise on an action which, so far as I can tell, had no serious strategic value... ?
