we give ID another column letter from Gen

paper. 1t is addressed to a lady. by birth
South carelinian, and in reply to one of hers
wh'ch does not appear in print. Mrs. Ann:
Giiman Bowen is a daughter Of the Rev
Samuel Giln.sa, formerly pastor of the UnitA.

other writings. DR.. Gilman was also a vol
known and esteemed man Of letters, who h.
left several interesting volumes of literar
remains. They were both from Mas sac uset..
but had become identified, through long litc
with the South and its institutions. They le.

collector of works of art. She, it appears, nov
resides at Baltimore. The Gilmans owned

they repaired in summer. Their chief res;
ceuce was in Charleston. At the former place.
they became acquainted with Sherman anc
many other officers Of the United States army,
and one of the fruits of this Intimacy is th>
letter of Sherman. 1t is probable that Mrs.
Bowen wrote to him, appealing to old friend
thirs. in behalf Of humanity. OF his reply
the reader will form his own Judgment. Civ.

sympathy and humanity, it is yet difficult to
reconcile these with his progress thr >-yhout the
