US. GRANT, Maj.
GENERAL suERMAN's REPLY.

Sherman received this letter near
Mcmphis, on tho 10th Of March and
Immediately replied;
DEAR GENERAL have your more
than kind and characteristic letter of
the 4th inst. | will send copy to
General Mcpherson at once.
You do yourself injustice and us too
much honor in assigning to US too
large u share Of the merits which have
led to your high advancement. /
know you approve the friendship /
have ever proiesscd to you, and will
permit me to continue, as heretofore,
to manifest it on all proper occa-
sions.
You are now Washington's legiti-
mate successor, and occupy a position
of almost dangerous elevation; but if
you can continue, as heretofore, to be
yourself simple, honest and unpretend-
ing, you will enjoy through life the
respect and love Of friends and the
homage of millions of human beings,
that will award you large share in
securing TO them and their descend
ants u government OF law and stabili-
ty.
| repeat, you do General Mcpherson
and myself too much honor. At Bel
mont you manifested your traits, nei-
thor of us being near At Donelson,
also, you illustrated your whole char
actcr, | was not near and General
Mcpherson in too subordinate capac-
ity to influence you.
Until you had won Donelson / CON
fcss / was almost cowod by the tori
Bile array of anarchical clements that
presented themselves at every point;
but that admitted q ray oflight h I'VE
followed since.
/ believe you are as brave, patriotic
and just as the great prototype Wash
ington; as unselfsh, lindhoartod and
honest as n man should be. But tho
chief characteristic is the simple faith
in success you have always manifested,
which can liken to nothing olso than
tho faith a Christian has in tho Sa.
vior.
This faith gave you victory at Shi-
loh and YiclSsburg. Also, when you
have completed your preparations, you
go into battle without hesitation, rs Mt
Chattanooga-no doubts-no reserves;
and | tell youit was this that made us
act with confidence. / knew, wherev.
or | was, that you thought of me, and
if lgot in a tight place, you would
help me out, if alive.
My only point of doubt was in your
knowledge of grand strategy and of
books of science and history; but l con-
fess your common sense seems to have
supplied all thesc.
Now as to the future. Don't stay in
Washington. Como West; take to
yourself the whole Mississippi valley.
Lot us make it doad sure, and l toll
you tho Atlantic slopes and the Pacific
shores will follow its destiny, as sure
rs the limbs Of q tree live or die with
tho main trunk, Wehave dono much,
but still much remains. Time and
times influence are with us. We could
almost afford to sit still and lot these
influences work. .H.
Hero lies the scat of the coming en-.
pire; and from the West whom our
task is done, we will mako short work
of Charleston and Richmond and the
impoverished coast of tho Atlantic,
Your sincere friend,
w, Il. SHERMAN.

THE EPIsCOPAL GENERAL CON-
VENTION


An exchange says that Bishop Nc.
llvaine expresses shame at the abiect
eowardico Of the Episcopal General
convention in refusing to thank Goo
ior the destruction Of Slavery and the
suppression Of the rebellion. The fear
ofoiicnding rebels prevented the adop.
tlon Of the resolution. Shall the
church be blcst which fears mon, and
Teoa men at that, more than it fears
dodH If Savory and Rebellion were
SINS, does not God require that
His church shall rejoice and
give thanks when Ho stretches ont
his hand and sweeps them from tho
earth Z Never before, in tho history
OF any people, save the Jcws, wus the
hand OF God 80 manifest rs in the his
tory of the past five years. And vet
because the people whom he chastiscd
Tor their sins, arc still permitted to
1.-Two among us, His church, for fear of
offending them, must refuse 10 thank
Him.
Being oursolf q mombcr of this
branch Of the Christian Church, We
speak tho moro freely, and express
with Bishop McIlvainc, and with tho
devoted and loyal men who entered
their protest, our shame at tho ablcct
spirit which refused to thank God for
tho destruction OF Slavery and Ro.

Injustice to Girls.
FroNl M0cnlilIan.


Had tho training of either men or
women, or indeed the conduct of their
lives in general, been really settled and
governed by true common sense.
there would be another world than that
we Know of, and one in which, inter
aha, essays on education would be un-
necessary. 10 call the custom or rule
Which closes a girls studies at seven
teen "common sense" is only to cYntle
argument by a "foregone conclusion. .
Those who maintain that her brains
are not capable Of more, make lust
such an assumption as those who
should forbid boy to learn swimming
on theground that it is impossible to
swim. Those, on the other hand, who
rate the girls mental qniclSness so
high, that by that age she will, thgY
say, have equalled the boy four years
older, appear to me to confuse the
readiness gained by going out into the
world, with the readiness of n we'll
cultivated mind. If boy of seven-
teen be treated as mere boy, but Il
girl of seventeen rs an "ornaInent to
society,o she will of course exhibit n
superior quiclkness; hut this will be
gained mt the expense of her mental
power. 1t is u forced flower against a
natural blossomfng. Besides, as be-
fore remarked, tho assumption is
untrue in fact. The young girl is no
more really capable of mastering serious
studies thHn her cotemporary. But an
additional hardship perhaps equally
injurious, has also arisen from the mr.
bitrnry limitation of the time permitted
for self-improvement. She does not
even start fair with the boy of her own
age. If his training be broken off, he
may Mt least have learned thoroughly
what he has 1earned.u He has obtained

GUS labor ut an age when she can rarely
