Sherman not Sound ON the Negro.
A correspondent Of the New York 7ri'
bune, reveals the mournful fact that Gen.
Sherman is unsound on the negro question.
The touching revelation is conveyed in the
following:
WAsn1NGroN, Jan. %.
GEN. SHERMAN ON THE NEGRO.
Gen. Sherman is not candidate for the
Presidency. The policy Of attributing to
him anti-slavery views, and the hearty
adoption Of extreme philanthropic and
political purposes with respect to the
negroes Of the conquered Rebel States
was successful in obtaining publicity
through the Tribune of Friday. The
statement was made here in the highest
quarter to senators and others, that on the
visit to Gen. Sherman he was found tc
have got away beyond the radicals Of this
Administration that he exceeded expectu'
ton; that he had determined to devote the
sea islands to the uses Of the freedmen, and
lay the foundation Of negro freeholding in
the soil of the South. This was an illusion
to use mild word. --...-.
A letter received hero from Gen. Sher

old views about the colored Unionists art
unchanged. He charges tho North with
having gone crazy about "the niger" HI

not merely to be pious and Christian peo-

uncharitable, unamiable, repulsive, stupid,

about the streets with q sullen malignant
scowl always on his face, which at best,
would be an ugly one? Why should
another walk with his nose in the air, snd
his eyes rolled up until they seem very
likely to fal. out? And why should third
