A Private Letter from Gen. Sherman.

The following letter from Gen. SHERMAN
was addressed to a distinguished soldier
and an old friend in New York city. 1t
shows that the hero of Georgia has as
much modesty as he has merit: d q. zoa7t
1g Colonel Ewing arrived to. day, and bore me
many kind tokens from the North, but none
gave me more satisfaction than to know that
you watched with interest my efforts in the
national cause. i do not think human being
could feel more kindly towards an enemy than
1 do to the people Of the South, and only
pray that may live to see the day when they
and their children will thank me as one who
labored to secure and maintain government
worthy the land we have inherited, and strong
enough to secure our children the peace and
security denied rs. E. ,,, .f.gf5 3.

struggle to do mans share. +, -. 2.

wiikinson,s Endorsement.

The telegram from WILKINSON to one of
his friends, asking hin to introduce ajoint
resolution recommending the ex-senator
for Secretary of Interior, although backed
by the joint request of Messrs. RAMSEY
and NORTON, has not yet been acted upon.
No one has got the courage to take the
responsibility. We are informed, howeY-
er, that a letter addressed to the President
was secretly circulated. among the mern-
bers Friday, Ie and, that it received the
signatures of seven Senators and about
fifteen Representatives, urging the APP
pointment of WIIKINsos as Secretary of
Interior The members generally don't ap-
pear to understand the motives OF RAMSEY
and MORTON, but we think the explanation
is simple. They were doubtless imper-
tuned by WILKINSON to save his waning
fortunes, and RAMSEY was willing TO aid
his old colleague, if he could throw the
responsibility on the. Legislature, while
MORTON could not refuse his name without
exhibiting lack of magnanimity towards
defeated opponent. No one who under
stands how these things are managed will
conclude that RAMSEY or NORTON really
desire WnKINsoN's appointment, or be-
ieve he is fitted for it.

Extension of Military Age.

% The Albany Journal makes the follow
ing suggestion The age within which
recruits will be received is restricted to the
period between 1S and As. Is this wisep
If a man Of A offers himself, he is taken
for three years, if otherwise physically
qualified. Under the old law, up to two
years ago, he would be enlisted in the
regular army for five years, thus being
deemed serviceable until the age of 40.
Why would it not be wise to extend the
military age five years? 1t would bring
to the service thousands of strong men,
who, with all their physical vigor still per-
feet, are now ruled out. ~. 81 .I.-...... : XII

Very. Sorry.

We regret the appearance in Wednesdays

The above apology was wrung from the
Press by the force Of outraged public SEN

readers believe they did not see the arti-

their paper. This statement is too absurd
to deceive anybody. The article was Civ
en- to the printers in the hand writing of
one of the editors, and we are assured the
writer read and corrected the proofsheet.

EagliSl, Policy.

In the English Parliament, on the 9Th,
the reading of the Queens message was
succeeded by very interesting and ami
mated debate on American affairs, between
the Ministry and their supporters and the
opposition, which showed material
change of opinion on the part of British
statesmen regarding our war and the posi-
ton Of the United States, Government.
Earl Russell admitted that we had just
cause for complaint against England, both
in regard to fitting out rebel pirates and
tolerating raiders In Canada, abd thought
it was not unnatural our Government
should take steps for increasing its naval
force on the Northern lakes. Othermem-
bers expressed the same opinion. ~ .sagL

Sherman.

An official dispatch which failed to reach
US IN due time, announces the capture of
Columbia, the capital of South Carolina.
The latest reports do not agree as regards
SHERMAN's course from this point. One
account states that be is pushing directly
north for Salisbury and Danville, and an
other that his course is northeasterly to-
wards Florence and Wilmington and that
HARDEE is pressing towards the same
points. "a Florence is due west, from Viii
mington, and distant about ninety miles.
A late number of the World says: eaoe
Sherman, at Florence, is In splendid posi-.
ton to cooperate with Schofeld's troops, NOV
ing from the mouth of the Cpee Fear north
ward to Wilmington. PresIming that Flor
ence will be made base, Sherman can move
thence directly on Fayetteville, Goldsboro, and
Raleigh, North Carolina, assisted, of course
by the large force now operating against VIII
mington, which will doubtless have reduced
that place in time to act In concert with Sher-
man in his grand raid upon the remaining rebel
depots of supply. If these places once fall into
our possession, the rebel forces in Virginia
will be absolutely starved out, and can be
conquered or expelled from the State without
battle. 1t will be utterly impossible for Lee
to feed or supply his army then; the matter is
next to an imposslbility now. =. N '.',# =
In speaking Of movements to cooperate
with SHKRMAN, the Times Of the nth
says: - 80. 4, -.
Our rebel extracts to-day give an account
of another movement on the North Carolina
coast, evidently meant to be cooperative with
Sherman in his rapidly approaching advance
into that State. They say that 20 600 Union
troops have reached Newbern, with vast sup
plies of railroad iron, and are about to strike
inland. Our army before Wilmington, as wen
as at Newbern, and other points of North
Carolina. is now under command of Ma
jor General Schofeld. one OF the ablest
officers in the Union army. He was
associated with Sherman In his advance upon
Atlanta, was subsequently, with Gen. Thomas
in his late glorious campaign In Tennessee, and
held the command, also, at the eyer-memora-
bic victory at Franklin. He had his own splen-
did and victorious Western corps 0he twenty

Z The news Of heavy lighting cannot be
much longer delayed. The rebsls must
fight, and that speedily, or they viii be
driven into Virginia. AS the military
power OF the rebellion must be crushed, it
