Speech OF George Francis Train Do
Tending Gen. Sherman.


From the philadclphia Evening Telegraph.
George Francis Train still keeps up
tho good cause of lecturing for the
widows and orphans Of the soldiers
who have died in defence of the coun-
try.
AS Mr.. Train not only gives the
entire proceeds of his lectures to the
cause of the soldier, bat IN all cases
pays his own expenses, we can afford
10 lot him have his own opinions; for
he is as original in this respect as in
the character Of his speeches.
His speech at West Chester was on
passing events. He spoke for two
hours, and was repeated y interrupted
by applause. AS usual, he allowed
tho audience TO select the subject, and,
after eulogizing President Lincoln and
defending his successor, no minated
that the next President of the United
States would be the Presidents friend
the diplomatist and statesman who
was fire-proof against runaway horses
and the assassin's dagger the distin-
guished lettor-writer who does every
thing in sixty days, even to recovering
from two shocks Of an earthquake
that would have levelled any other
giant in the land. The nomination of
Mr.. Seward was received with great
enthusiasm. The audience then called
for his opinion of Sherman. We give
brief extract of his defense:
DEFENSE OF GEN. SHERMAN.
There are two kinds of men afoat,
positive and negative. One goes down
stream and nobody sees him--the
other goes up and all cheer. sherman
belongs to the positive order. He says
anything can float out with the tide.
Straw, paper, dead rebels, Qaughtor),
sinking fish, loud laughter), anything
but it is only strong fish that
swims against tho current. 1t is the
salmon that jumps up the falls. Jap
plauso.) Sherman is an entire man !;
a hundred-pounder among tho pocket
pistol generals. (.anghtor) As usual,
you will find me against the voice of
the nation. IL was so in England, in
Boston whore / was knocked down,
(laughter), and at Chicago where /
was knocked up, loud laughter), but
succeeded in breaking up that rotten
platform. applause. The other day,
in Wall street, followed Gen. Butler,
aud did my best at Washington To
spike his gun. To defend Butler was
to attack Grant and consure the Pres
ilent. Again sta nd alone, and, until
i Get tho facts, shall stand by General
Sherman, if am the only man on his
side in the country. (Some dissent
and applause)
There is nothing moro contemplate
in the American character than this
thinking in battalions. This forming
opinions in masses is disgusting to in
sividuality. When shall we be able
IN separate the goats from the sheepY
(laughter.) Is il fair for the great
General, whom Europe endorsed, Asia
admired, and America cheered, 30 be

Everybody knows the latest news is
that the war is 10 all intents and pur-
poses over, and tho not less difficult
business Of bringing order out OF cha
os in the defunct confederacy well in
hand. The whereabouts of jeff Da-
Wis and the remnant Of the confede-
rate army who have avowed their de-
termination TO fight it out to the ''last
ditch" are mighty uncertain, and it is
Ly no means improbable that they
NAV succeed in making thoir escape,
either to Havana or through Tcxas
n Mexico. The amount Of specie said
to lave been "gobbled" by jeff was
undoubtedly fabulous, though he in

THE TRIAL OF WE'RE. :

$3.50 r w ASHlNdTON, S6pts o.
In the Werz trial to-day a letter from Act
ing Adjutant and Inspector General sBs l.
Chandler. to Assistant Adjutant Inspector
General Colonel r. ii. Chiffon, lauds the adj
ministratioho of Capt. Werz, for his untirng
energy and general competency, and suggests
the removal of Brigadier General Winder and
the substitution of a man of good Judgment
and humanity. Colonel Chandler was then
sWorn.5 He had nc retractlons to make OH any
thing in his report He had conversations
with Winder about the bad condition OF the
prison. Winder said it would be better to let
half die, so they could take care of the remain
der. Winder hadltold other people so.
AT the afternoon session John Pasque, OF
the naval service, testified to man dying In
the chain-gang. He was told by rebel SEN
tinel that for every Yankee he shot he receiv-
ed thirty days Through and three months ex-
ira wages.
John A. Marshall, of the AID New York
regiment, testified that he knew of man who
died from the effects of dog bites
William Id. Fable testified that while riding
out he saw a man in the stocks, who he
thought, would drown, as a heavy rain was
falling on his face. Witness held his umbrel-
la over him Tor while, and then went to Capt.
Werz toexpress his apprehension. Werz said
LET the id Yankee drownw In few
buClCd1bcf, uOWGNOT, OltC0l "esN
sent from Werz's headquarters who took the
man out of the stocks. .,e So
w. w. Caudall OF the 4th Ohio regiment,
testified as to a man being badly bitten in the
calves Of his legs by the dogs, and was soon
thereafter fastened at each ankle by a ball and
chain, the man being kept in this position for
several weeks. Witness went to Werz and
pleaded for the release of the prisoner, but
werz said he could not do it. His legs were
much swollen and purified. The surgeon be-
ing appealed to, said he could not take OIL
more than one chain, which he did. The man
finally died. Witness, as one of the detailed
sections, helped to bury thirty or forty of the
men who had been shot. Prisoners who had
money could procure food Some of the visit
ing rebels said the graveyard would make a
good vineyard-Yan bones affording good
manure. He was put into the stocks for at
tempting to escape. Had proceeded 100 miles
before he was apprehended by scouts as a reb-
ell deserter.
William Van Buren, of the I'd New York
cavalry, testified as to,blanfiets and pants from
the Sanitary Commission having been appro-
priated by the rebels. Werz said to him he
could take care of more Cd id Yankees
than Lee at the front. Werz had threatened
to shoot witness. Witness said among other
things that the prisoners were reduced to
skeletons, and would go to the sink and pick
up undigested particles of food. He mention
ed several cases ofshooting men. One ofthem
it was said by at least twenty, to have been
shot by Capt. Werz himself.
