Of their prison window in six places. thereby
making an opening through which they effected
their escape The cell from which this party made
their exit adjoins the one from which four men
liberated themselves last Monday night One

Sherman and hoe Johnston M the
GaYOs0

From the Memphis Baletin.l
For the first time since his deposition bv
Jefferson Davis, Joseph f. Johnston met
General Sherman evening before last. at the
GayOso House. 1t is needless to say that
the greeting of these soldiers was kindly and
cordial. Hundreds of citizens called on these
two Generals whose genius lends brightest
lustre to the annals of fratricidal war. By
them the arts of offensive and defensive
campaigns were exhausted. Through all
future time, those who would excel, in doing
mischief to mankind, will study each DAVIS
story of that ninety days of battle from Dali
ton to Atlanta. No two commanders were
ever more tireless and sleepless. If Sherman
always moved to the right place, Johnston
never did to the wrong one. And when
long line of earthworks was abandoned, ex-
tending twenty or thirty miles across the
country, and all corps and division moved
inwardly to a common highway, as each
passed the point of intersection of routes.
another fell in behind with the precision of
clock work Humboldts head was never so
full of maps as Johnston's of charts of north
ern Georgia.
Would that such men may never again
have occasion to exercise matchless skill in
winning glory at the cost CT human anguish,
yet, while mankind have wars, warriors
must be pre-eminently great. More than
this, unless craftsmanship rise to
the standard of excellence which it lost with
Clay, Webster and Calhoun the very globe
may soon tremble beneath the tread of arm
ed men, and woes of the late war may be
trifing as tears of childhood, compared with
that convulsive agony of soul which humans
heroes.
Gen. Sherman, in external appearance an
unassuming plain citizen, has been in the
city several days. He left last evening for
st. Louis, at the same hour with Gen. John
ston, en- route to Cincinnati.
Both these gentlemen are vigorous and
active. Johnston, when his robust appear
ance was referred to, said he had more than
his share of vigor. He wore a citizens suit
of plain black, and singularly enough, hat
with narrow brim and round top He is
therefore thoroughly reconstructed" De
spite all this he is brusque, quick, decisive,
in all he says and does The old soldier still
crops out. Easy, polished and suave in man
ner, he won the regard of all who approached |
him. His room in the Hotel was next that |
of Sherman. If flank movements were
neither executed nor evaded at the Gayoso, |
in dreams or fact, We shall never more have |
faith in that human magnetic sympathy |
which eyokes the wonders of spiritualism.

"Go IN FINNEGANs"-Some of our Irish
fellow-citizens, of the Fenian persuasion.
had a little festivity in st. Louis a few DAVIS
since, and when the affair was well under
way they forgot themselves so far as 10 send
Tor Major General Frank p Blair, with the
purpose Of drawing a speech from him. The
General was found just at the conclusion of
a dinner party, which had not been conduct
ed on strict temperance principles, and, to
put fine point upon it, he was not precise
ly in condition to confine himself very close
ly to one subject. lie concluded, however,
that he would 60 and make the boys speech
Notwithstanding the advice of some of his
friends-among them General Sherman
that he had better postpone his remarks on
the great Fenian question until some other
occasion should arise Arrived at the hall,
where the sunburst glowed and the sham
rock bl0omed, he was presented to the audi
ence with the usual fattering observations;
and drawing himself up to his full height,
his countenance wearing look of inexpres-
sible solemnity, he roared at the top of his
voice.
"Finnegansl Pm with yOu!"
The mercurial Irishmen, dashed a little
by the apparent mistake of the General, in
duuItSalllS lHtll ny Hule lney nau not
called themselves, and looking upon his
broad declaration that he was with them as
all right, interrupted him with tremendous
round Of applause. Posing himself as if to
meet a great emergency, he continued:
But mind, l tell you, you have big
contract on hand, and Old Ireland is away
across the ocean. But when you get your
ships and have them loaded with cannon
and things, and sail down New York harbor,
I'll go out there at Sandy Hook, and take off
my hat, and say with all my heart-good-
bye, Finnegans! And when think it about
time you had touched the sod over there, I'll
give you my prayers, and say-Go in, Fin
neganl"
At this point there was another Interrupt
ton, and one not altogether Of excessive APP
probation. Gen. Blair was unanimously
told they were not Finnegans, but Fenians
and, after apologizing for his mistake by
saying he had been down South so long he
had forgotten the name of things, the hero
gracefully retired.-C Cincinnati Commercial.
