General sherman on Agriculture and

ETY. of Wisconsin:
HEADQUARTERS

ST. LOUIS, Mo. August Is. }
"J ~. Hoyt Esq. State agricultural Rooms,
MADISON, Wis.
DEAR SIR: Your favor Of August lst
is received. ] cannot now promise to
come to Madison on the occasion Of your
fair, but as the time approaches will try
and do so; but as to making an address
that is impossible. / never attempted
apy thing of the kind in my life, and
have been halt ashamed that anything
from me should be considered as aspeech
or address.
Il confess to taking great interest in
the progress of our great and fertile
West, and could almost attempt anything
to stimulate industry and energy to that
end but your history in Wisconsin shows
sncb strides in that direction, that il
wonld seem like squirting spirited horse
to say or write word on the subject to
you. | have watched also the kind and
material of the regiments coming from
the different states, and fear may have
given offence in dwelling so much on
those coming from Wisconsin; but l hes
itate not to record my judgment that no
state in tho past war has contributed
more muscle and brain, in proportion to
inhabitants, than your young state
And now that these are returned agar!
to their fertile prairies and valleys i
doubt not your future progress in agri
culture will be even more rapid, if posi-
Bile. than in the past.
Thanking you kindly for the complI-
ment conveyed, and hoping ut some future
time to meet you at tho city OF the -Four
Lakes. | am, with respect, &c.

Exsrscs from . speech ofs Seuthern
Clergyman.
The following is An extract from. an
address delivered by Rev. George g.
Smith, before the young men of Savan-
nah, at Trinity Church in that city, a
short time since. Mr.. Smith served as .
chaplain In the rebel army, was wound
ed, and was suffering from the effects OF
his wounds when he delivered the ad-
dress. 1t illustrates very strikingly the
feeling existing amongst some of the
Southern clergymen an the present
time:
Your duty to the freedmen deserves
mention. They were born under our
own roof, they were our playmates in IN
fancy. they have been our friends in
manhood. They nursed US in sickness,
and when we went to the army they re-
NAMED, and they were humble and true
and stood by us in trial. By the fiat OF
the United States President they are
free. They did not seek, ask for or de,
mand it. If under the insane excitement
of this new tradition, Influenced by the
counsels of vulgar minds, they act ex
trayagantly, forgive them, nor let the
ties of affection which bound them to
you be broken.
When labor and capital come in con,
hict, as it will, strong temptation VIII
be presented to wrong and Cypress them
There will be danger of re-enacting the
scenes of Manchester and Glasgow, OF
the coal mines of England and the great
manufacturing establishments every
where. Resist the temptation, be kind
be just, be true.
Cooperate with every effort made to
advance them, with schools, with church
ca Unlike those of another section we
are not willing to cast them of, but lei
us stand by them and labor with them
fearlessly assert here, that young as
am, I have done more for the salvation
of the soul of the negro, and for his NOR
al elevation than ever Henry WARD
Beecher dared to do, and am to-day pre-
pared for lgreater sacrifices and labor'
for his welfare than are those shrieker:
who callme slave driver-sO have you, Sc
will you.
But, gentlemen, an effort will be made
to give to them the right OF suffrage
Demagogue and fanatics will second it
We must resist it, The right of suffrage
like Sinbad's old man of the sea, is cas-.
to get OIL and hard to get rid of. We re
fuse it to them as we refuse it to minors
as the Californian does to tina Chinaman
the Western man to the Indian, and al
to the foreigners until they have beer
here FIVE years am glad to see tina
President johnson has had the courage
to resist this movement. Let him be firm
and forgetting the past, we will stan'
by him in every just measure. Whel
they shall be elevated sufficiently 70
this right we will yield it, and not til
then
We are aware, gentlemen, that we cal
control this power, We are aware tina
with it we can injure those who clamo
for it. But We would not for party o
personal purposes open such tlood-gat'
of corruption, offer such q premium 10
rascality. Let those who, for party aims
clamor for it, remember there is such
thing as digging pit for another an'
