A Dinner 20 GEN. Sherman..The Gen.
erals Speech.

81. LOUIS, July 21.-The Edinner to General
Sherman last night was all that could be desir-
ed. About three hundred guests took seats
among them Gen. Sherman and staff; Gener-
lott, Sweeney. Dent, Totem, Tbbetts, Easton,
Williamson, Beckwith, Smith, Marcy, Cole
man, Carlin, Moore, 6pague, and several
colonies and distinguished civilianA
The most noticeable feature II the evening
was Shermaa's speech. It consisted of re-
view of the part he has taken in tho war since
he and Halleck met at the Planters House In
this city, and planned the campaign up the
Tennessee River, TO the surrender Of John
stons army. He closed with this singular
sentence: -
Therefore, my friends, now that the war
Is over, let % all go to work to do what seems
most honest and just to restore our county to
its physical prosperity. repeat to its physi-
cal prosperity. As 70 its political prosperity, I

Newspaper Enterprise.

The New York Herald has long ar
ticle skstching the history of it's enterprise
in obtaining war news. 1t claims to have
had sixty-three correspondents in the field,
whose aggregate expenses amounted to
over half million of dollars. One hun
dred and twenty-three horses were pur-
chased for these correspondents of which
forty-five survived the war in a fit condi-
ton to be sold. The following are among
the curious items of expense; -.
One of our correspondents returns an item
of 800 paid to a military conductor, on q
railroad in Tennessee, to gain twenty minutes
lost time in order to make connection with
Louisville train at Nashville" The conse-
quence was that our account of the battles of
Chattanooga was published day earlier than
1t would have been If the 800 had not been
expended. Our special account of the capture
of New Orleans, although filling but few col
umns of single issue of our paper, cost
us in the expenses alone of the cores
pondent who accompanied Admiral Farragut,
over eleven hundred dollars. Another cores
pendent returns items of "$5 paid for wild
turkey, caught by soldier, and eaten by the
correspondent during the battle of Stone
river" One hundred and fifty dollars is an
item tor cost of a horse starved to death dur
ing the siege of Chattanooga. The ride of our
correspondent from the battle field of Chicka.
manga cost us q splendid animal, purchased
from the widow of Col w. P. Campbell, killed
while riding him at Perryville. Several others
return items for subscription to Richmond
papers, at the rate of fifty cents per copy, de-
livered in Libby prison. There are items for
presents to energetic scouts, whose mouths
were opened thereby. Every mode, direct and
indirect, that ingenuity could devise, appears
to have been employed to obtain news, and
each correspondent appears, by his generous
expenditure of our money, to be possessed of a
liberality of soul truly admirable.
