HOW THEY TALK IN sHERmAN's
ARMY.
The letter. from which We give extracts De =

staff officer 10 Sherman's Army. The frank

that il was private letter. not intended iof
publication, but it is all the more valuable on
that account. The Copperhead papers assume

whereof he speaks. Were there any difference
of opinion between the army and It's great Cap-

would he pretty sure to be aware OF 1t, nor
Uould he. in confidential letter OF this sort, be
likely to pass it by unnoi'ced, did such differ
ence exist. We have only Ia add that the writer
has. in times past. been warm aduiirer o.
