dence that Yankee Perseverance, will
Arrive at the Truth.
Press DispatchI
NEW YORK, May 25.-The following is
the letter of Sherman complaining of
the suppression Of his official reports al
ready referred to:
CAMP NEAR ALEXANDRIA,
May 10. 1865.
DEAR BOWMAN: | have just arrived
All nv army will be in to-day. have
been lost to the world in the woods for
some time, yet on arriving at the settle
ments find I have made quite stir
among the people at home, and that the
most sinister motives have been ascribed
to me. have made frequent official re,
ports of my official action in all public
matters, and all of them have been care
fully suppressed. whilst the most ridicu-
lous nonsense has been industriously
spread abroad through all the newspa-
pers. Well, you know what Importance
fattach to such matters, and that have
been too long fighting with real rebels
with muskets in their hands to be scared
by mere non on-combatants, no matter how
high their official rank or station. 1t is
amusing to observe how brave and firm
some men become when the danger is
past. have noticed on field of battle
that brave men never insult the cap
tured, or mutilate the dead, but towards
and laggards always do | caunot now
recall the act, but Shakespeare records
how poor Falstaff, the prince OF towards
and wits, rising from figured death
stabbed again the dead Percy and carried
the carcass aloft i'll triumph to prove his
valor. So now, when the rebellion in
our land is dead, many Falstaffs appear
to brandish the evidence of their valor
and seek to win applause, and appropri-
ate honors for deeds that never were done.
As to myself, / ask no popularity, no
reward, but dare the War Department
to publish my official letters and reports.
I assert that my official reports have been
purposely suppressed, while all the pow
er of the press has been Indignantly
turned against me. / do want peace and
security and the return to law aud JUS
tice, from Maine to the Rio Grande, and
if it does not exist now, substantially, it
is for State reasons beyond my compre-
hension 1t may be thought strange
that one who has no fame but as sol
dier, should have been so caretal to try
to restore the civil power of the Govern
ment and the peaceful jurisdiction of
Federal courts, but it is difficult to dis
cover in that fact any jnst cause of of
fense to an enlightened and free people.
But when men choose to slander and in
jure others, they can easily invent the
facts for the purpose, when the prescrib
cd victim is far away engaged in public
services of their own bidding. But there
is consolation in knowing, though the
ruth lies in the bottom of a we'll, that
the Yankees have perseverance enough
to get to that bottom.
Yours, truly,
w. T. SHERMAN.

Gen. Warren on the Subject of his Re
9evaI from Command.

New YORK, May 25.--General Warren
publishes letter on the subject OF his
removal fiom command of the 5th corps
He says he was removed after the battle
of Five Forks was over aud not an enc
nv in sight He asked Sheridan for the
reason OF his removal, and he could not,
or would not give any. He reported to
Geu. Grant. who gave him another COM
mand. He then, April 9th, asked an in
vestigation, and again on the ED He
could not get court bnt was put in com
mand of the Department of Mississippi.
He then details the operations of the first
of April, from which it appears he receiv-
ed an order from Gen. Meade to report
to him for duty after he had joined Sher-
idan, which he did, taking part in the
Five Forks battle Perhaps this was his
offence, obeying orders from Gen. Meade
after being placed under command of
Gen Sheridan.
