SHERMAN's ORDER AND LINE OF
MARCH-The New York Herald pub
fishes Gen. Sherman $ order to his army
before his march began. Gen. Howard
commanded the right wing, the 18th
and 18th corps, and Gen. Slocum the
left wing, the l4th and Goth corps. The
habitual order of march was to be,
whenever practicable, by four reads, as
nearly parallel as possible, and converg-
ing it points thereafter indicated. The
cavalry, Gen. Fitzpatrick commanding,
would receive special orders from the
commander-in-chief. The separate col
umns were to start habitualiy at seven
A. N. and make about fifteen miles per
day. They were directed to live upon
the country. but not to destroy any
property in localities where they were
unmolested. Cases of hostilities by the
citizens were to be followed by relent-
less devastation. Horses, mules, wag-
ons, &C., were to be appropriated freely
by the cavalry and infantry and foras-
ing parties. Negroes who are able
bodied and could be Of service to the
several columns, might be taken along,
out each army commander must bear in
mind that the question of supplies was
a very important one, and his first du-
ties were to those who bear arms.

The Next Congress.
The House of Representatives In the
next Congress is generally conceded to
be about as follows:
Union. Dem.

There will be several contested seats,
among them that Of James Brooks from
New York city, who is declared by the
canvassers elected by 146 majority, and
d. w. VOORHEES, of Indiana. A majority
of the contestants are Republicans, and
the ultimate decision of the House OF
Representatives will be more likely to
reduce than increase the number OF
Democratic members. e' e- s"t .
1t is believed by some that the present
House will reverse its vote of last spring
refusing to submit the constitutional
amendment prohibiting slavery but ii
it does not, the next Congress will sub
NIT the question. -.-

ton has appointed a TEACHERS INsTI-
TUTE, to be held at Public School

KEss1IL, late City Superintendent and
Principal ct the Teachers Training
School of the City Of Davenport.
The design of the Institute is the mu-
tual improvement ofth teachers of the

pays the expenses, it is confidently eX-
pected that every teacher, and all who

coming year, viii! attend. Should there
be any teachers in the county who do
not fee. interest enough in the cause in
which thGy are engaged to induce them
| to attend tie Institute, l. would call

DEAR JOURNAL After many months
OF absence, we were permitted to visit
our old quarters at this place last even
ing, How changed was the scene. The
old barracks have been changed. The
city has been built up until it is one
third larger than in 1872. But the change
in the S5th has been the reverse. In
stead of the long line OF. glistening bay
onets which was then nearly beyond the
reach Of command, and numbered some
500 men, we are now, after nm absence of
nearly two years, passing up the Ohio
River with little over $50 men, care
worn and fatigued.
We left st. Louis Oh THANKSGIVING
Day, and just before the boat pulled out
Lieutenant Lucas, A. r.. Q. NJ, shipped
aboard three barrels of apples, six sacks
of potatoes, three sacks of onions and
two boxes Of cakes Of different varieties,
which had been secured from the SAM
tary Society, as u donation to make up
IN part Thanksgiving dinner for the
regiment. The potatoes and onions
We're direct from Muscatine county. /
heard number say that day, while eat
ing, "How do l know but mother baked
this cake; or but those potatoes are from
hcme?" Although cannon balls have
| sounded the death knell to many OF our
comrades and moved us not, and the
sight of death ceased to he a horror, yet
! the sight of those things, coming as it
were from home, brought back many
tender reflections. Many were the eX-
pressions of praise heard that day for
the kind donors. 'ni
The health of the 35th is very good,
which is due much to the efficiency OF
DR.. Cobb.
We expect to get to Paducah, Ky, to-
day, where we will! probably get quite
an addition to our regiment by the re-
turn of the oonvaleacents whom we have
been leaving at various points during
the fall campaign. ~
Col. Hill is commanding our brigade,
I'D brigade, lst division, 10th army
corps.) Capt. A. a. Snyder is in COM
mand of the regiment. Adjutant +. l..
Dayton is now on duty with the regi-
ment. Lieut.. &. W. H. Lucas is acting
Quartermaster, but has been in i'll health
through most of the campaign {; never
theless, he has stood to his post like ~
soldier. We are indebted, as we'll as
many others, to him for Il ride when our
feet were nearly given out, during our
long marches.
We suppose that Major Dill will take
command OF the regiment this evening,
and will probably soon lead lis into an
other battle, for as soon as Gen. Hood
gets in reach of Gen. Smith he will
have to fight or run. The impression is
that Hood is so hemmed in that he will
have 10 fight. You may look for some
hard fighting or tall running soon.
Yours, &C., 3aTH.
