Honor to General Sherman i.

About this time last year Major, now
General Sherman, was stationed here with
his flying artillery, and he and his men be-
came general favorites with our citizens The
following we'll earned tribute to General
Shcrman's merits, from the Philadelphia
Press will be read by our people as a matter
of local interest:
"The credit Of tie taking Of Fort Pulaski
justly attaches to General. Sherman, against
whean charges have been made by the
minimizing or unknowirg. ef having been
slow in his movements. Going upon coast
which is an 'archipelage, operations on
the mainland could not be entered upon
safely until the vast maze of inlets were
somewhat explored. Moreover, if he had
at first started with his raw troosS from
Port Royal towards Charleston or Savannah.
the enemy in front would have burned the
numerous railroad bridges like those north
of Baltimore, which connects the two cities,
and thus the advance would have been pre-.
vented. Meanwhile he has held in check
at both places more than double his own
force, and Fort Pulaski is the splendid spoil
of his operations. To effect this, an inlet
fall of natural and artificial obstacles had to
be cleared ont, and plank roads constructed
across morasses, SO as to allow of the cree
ton Of batteries at points commanding all
the approaches to Savannah, and which
finally brought the proud spirits-thc flower
of Savannah-to their knees They did not
ike the through and through shots Of the
PARROT guns upon the weak rear wall of the
fort, and so they ingloriously surrendered,
with scarcely anybody hurt OH their sids,
and prsbably none on ours. 80 much for
bSttery Sheridan who has now gone cut
West to sesve under General Hallcck,

ATROCITIES or THE REBELs-REroRT OF
THE COMMITTEE on rmE CoNDUcr OF THE WAR.
The COMMITTEE on The Conduct Of the War
have completed their examination OF witnesses
IN regard to the alleged atrocities of the
rebels at Bull Run, and will fills Week make
apcrsonaf inspection at that place, and soon
Thereafter present their report.
Members OF the committee say that il is true,
according to the testimony Ex-Governor Spraguc
and many others, that in some cases the
graves which contained the bodies of our
soldiers were opened, and the bones of the
dead carried ofl to be used as trnkets and
trophies for Secession ladies to append to
their guard chains, etc, while skulls were
used for drinking cups. Those of our dead
inferred by them were placed with their faces
downward, and in repeated instances buried
one across another. The barbaritics in
respect to onr dead are not, it is further said
by the same a'hority, exceeded by anything
IN the history of the last four Thousand years,
even in the "details Of savage practices. a.
The committee, under the resolution Of
inquiry are receiving testimony from Pea
Ridge, showing inconestably that their own
dead were not only scalped by the rebels
Indian allies, bnt in other respects outraged.
The brains of the wounded, too, being beaten
out by clubs, Thus confirming the previous
newspaper reports.
