CINCINNATI, July IA.
AT the festival given to Gems Sherman and
Cox, yesterday, at Columbus, Gen. Sherman
made speech. In the course of his remarks
he alluded TO the charge that white in-cem-
mand in Kentucky, he demanded for the CAM
paign 100000 men. = He said that when he was
visited by Secretary Cameron, he then explain
ed to him the DILIGENTLY of marching Into Ten
nessee by divergent lines, one to Nashville and
the otherto East Tennessee, with forces large
lly outnumbered by the rebel armies confront
ing him. On one Of these lines he had but
$4,000 men to meet an opposing force of $780,
00O When asked by Secretary Cameron how
many men We're needed for the present cam
paign, he (Shernan) replied 60,000; and be
fore you can reduce the South to subjugation,
you must have 200,000 This statement was
made in the presence of Secretary Cameron
and his military family, and was afterwards
published IN eastern papers in very incorrect
form. 4 y f5,f ,,. 49,, 60 =. ~

Good News.

General GRANT has been given entire
control over the business of exchanging
prisoners. Relieved from the bubbles of
BUTLER, and the wrong-headedness Of
STANTON, this business, we are satisfied,
will now go on without interruption, I'M
til all our suffering soldiers in rebel pris-
ons will be released There are thou
sands of men in eally graves to-day, who
might have been saved by making this
disposition of this subject months ago.

The military uarien.

Unless all the indications are decep-
tive. we are on the eve of important
events in the field. GRANT and SHERMAN
are about to concentrate their armies
with the intention of compelling LEE to
evacuate Richmond The rebels. to en-
able their greatest General to meet the
new combination against him, have Civ
ell LEE direction over all the COnfede'
rate armies in the field At the same
time Gen. JOHNSON, AN able but unsuc
cessful general, has been recommended
by the rebel Congress for restoration to
the place he was ordered to relinquish in
favor of HOOP. 1t is no secret that
SHERMAN is coming northward along
the seaboard, with the intention OF cut
ting LEES communications, and redu'
cling the chief seaports on his way
Charleston is already menaced. The re-
duction of the city is deemed to be feas-
ible. LEE is, in all probability, sending
reinforcements southwark to meet SHEER
MAN, and the probabilities are that the
safety of Richmond depends on LEES
ability to keep GRANT in check, while
concentrating against SHERMAN force
sufficient not only to keep him back, but
to prevent further aggressions in this di-
rection on his part. A series of battles
are apparently impending, and until the
result is decided the prospects of peace
are very faint indeed.

Butler Again.

A Washington correspondent contra
diets the rumor that Gen. Butler had
challenged the Hon. James Brooks for
the insult conveyed in the latter's speech
in the House, in which Brooks took the
liberty of calling Butler thief. The
contradiction was unnecessary, since
everybody is now aware that fighting is
not in Buffers line. The only fight he
was ever personally engaged in was with
the bricklayer at Lowell, which so salts
tied Butler that he has carefully kept ont
of harms way ever since.
