What General sherman Said to Southern
..s@ Friend in 1894
From the Huntsville Advocate, August 81 ]

lrrom inc HuhisVlile ADVOCATE, August II.
Mr.. d. M. Martin has handed us the
following letter from General Sherman
to himself, which we beg our readers to
the country IN fighting for the Union,
and the stupendous, insane folly of Sc
cession, by which fatal act the South
has lost so much:
The Norfolk post. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 1865-1866, 1865-09-09

We submit that this act would elicit tne
applause and excite the admiration OF all
good men at home, and all good men
and governments abroad.
We think the disasters that war mas
brought upon us will prevent the recur-
renee of rebellion. These disasters may
well stand in the place of further pun
ishment. They have reached us all.
We recognize them in the desolation OF
our fields--in the ruin of our home
steads-the destruction of untold wealth
the terrible loss of life, and the sweep
ing away of almost all that makes peo-
pie great, prosperous or happy. We
therefore appeal, earnestly and respect
fully, to the President to extend to these
gentlemen, in whose fate Mississippians
especially feel so deep an interest the
same clemency which he has generously
extended to SO many of our people
| GThe above, it is stated, was signed by
every member of the couvention.l

young men Of said village went out on
the ground, bearing the stars ana
| Stripes. The presence OF the old nag
| the proud emblem of American nation
aIity---appeared TO excite considerable
disgust among q majority of those pre-
sent, and with a view of preventing any
thing like a disturbance, Shuford asked
smith to go to the young men having
| the flag and request them TO take Il
down. As might have been expected
this request was refused, and very prop
eriy, too but Smith persisted in his de
mand, and finding that ne could not in
duce the young men to remove the flag
snatched it from the party having il
and breaking the staff over his knee
threw it upon the ground. After flu
hearing of the facts, SO far as they wer
brought out by the witnesses present
Captain Nail decided to send the prison
ers to Baltimore for a further hearin
before General Hancock. They wer
| both released on parole and ordered {
!, report themselves at the office of tn
Provost Marshal here at O'Clock on las
Monday, at which time they were sen
off under guard for final disposition

A citizen OF Wilson county, Tennessee,
hired a substitute in the Confederate ar.
my, who served AS such through the war
The hirer agreed, in writing, TO convey to
the substitute tract Of land, for which
suit was brought. Chancellor Steele, OF
Tennessee, has annulled the CONTRACT
He declares that the recognition of TIC
Confedsrates as beligereuts was induced
by considerations of humanity, and in
no wise invested the 'so.cal,ed" with
rights Of nationality. Hence contracts
made in contemplation Of the existence
Of such Government, in obedience to its
exac.ions, and to promote lis euds, are
in deroga'ion of public morals and law,
and are void.

Bank Statement.

Through the attention of our worthy reprel
sentative in the Legislature, Mr.. Moore, we
have received a copy ef the Report Of the
President and Directors Of the Bank Of the
State of South Carolina to the Legislature
The report shows tn at this institution, in com.
mon with all the other material interests Of the
State, has sustained immense losses but we
are pleased to see that its condition is not so
bad as has been generally opposed. The
amount Of specie reported in the parent Bank
and its several branches aggregates upwards OF
ninety thousand dollars. Besides this, the
Bank is in possession Of assets, exclusive of
the paper Of the Confederate Government and
of the sums advanced to the State, Of about
three and halt millions, consisting Of notes,
bonds, stocks, sc.
A large share Of the indebtedness Of the
Bank is due to depositors. The President
states that these deposits were receiv ed in the
then currency Of ihe country, on the expre
stipulation that the parties depositing were to
take the risk Of oil changes in value {; aud that
the Bank now h. ids, in the paper Of the Con.
federate Government upwards Of three mil
lions beyond the amount which would repre-.
sent the deposits
Under all the circumstances, we think the
bills Of this institution should command bet.
ter price than they are now selling for, and we
would advise holders not TO sacrifice them at
present rates.
