Gen. Sherman Commander of the De-

On account of General Andersons feeble
health, he has deemed it advisable that he
should have successor in the command of
the Department of the Cumberland. His
successor is General w. T. Sherman.
All the true patriots Of Kentucky and of

noble and heroic Anderson lacks the health

Pope translated Homer;

chamber on each floor, and finally emerging

wainscotted from floor to ceiling with dark
oak, and had little fireplace in one of the

that it was once the residence OF Pope, and
that he here wrote a considerable part of the
translation of Homer, and likewise, no doubt,
the admirable letters to which | have refer
