General Sherman's Oandor.

The following story bears some inter
/ nal evidence of being true:
On the arrival of General Sherman at
Savannah, he saw large number of Brit
lish flags displayed from buildings, and
had curiosity to know how many Brit
ish consuls there were there. He soon
these flags were on buildings
where cotton had been stored away, and
|at once ordered it to be seized Soon af-
ter that, while the General was busily en-
gagged at his headquarters, pompcus gen
tleman walked in, apparently in great
haste, and inquired if he was Sherman
Having received the affirmative reply, the
|pompous gentleman remarked that when
The left his residence, United States troops
were engaged IN removing his cotton from
lit, when it was protected by the British
flag.

Government, sir. | have noticed" con-
tinued General Sherman, "a great many
ritish flags here, all protecting cotton !;
| have seized it all in the name of my
government
" But, sir, said the Consul Indignantly
''there is scarcely any cotton in Savannah
that does not belong to me-"
"There is not pound of cotton here,
sir, that does not belong to me, for the
United States" replied Sherman.
Well, sir" said the Consul swelling
himself with the dignity of his Office, and
reddoning in his face, my government
shall hear of this. l shal. report your
conduct 70 my government, sir"
" All! pray who are you, sir" said the
General
"Consul to her British Majesty, sir"
"On Indeed p responded the General
