WASHINGTON, April 29. – A dispatch received from Gen. Halleck says it is the unanimous opinion that Gen. W. T. Sherman saved the fortune of the day on the 6th, and contributed largely to the victory on the 7th, was in the thickest of the fight, had three horses shot and himself wounded twice. I respectfully ask that he be mad a Major General of Volunteers.
