Correspondence OF the Memphis Appeal
The Circuit Court and most OF the mem
bers of the Helena Bar, paid Gen. Sherman
4 complimentary visit on Friday last. The
visit was prompted by an invitation on the
part of Gen. Sherman, made known to the
Court and Bar through Gen. Tcppan, and
was made rs much in Difference TO the laws
Of hospitality and etiquette as in compliment
to a public man.
The visitors found Gen. Sherman az Gen.
Carr's headquarters, and were received by
him with courtesy, ana that military, though
polite brlSgite7Se peculiar 20 the Tennessee
soldier, whose ashes sleep at the Hermitage
near Nashville. Excepting the height of
his forehead, and a certain nervous restless
ness of the eyes, Gen. s. resembles Old
Hickory: he is about 1lity years OF age,
spare bulii, rapid in enunciation, and evil
Gently impatient Of contradiction. His cQn-
verEation was general, but mostly Of the
present and future status of the fFeedmen,
and was marked with sound sense and
Gberality which we heartily endorse, He
manifested his willingness 70 use the Colored
troops in his department in the building of
railroads leyeos, and other uaefth and necCs-
sary public works; and said that President
johnson would willingly give his consen.

ne proposed completing the railroad from
Memphis 20 Little Rock, IL the Company IN
terested therein would pay IA lands, fifty cents
per day above his regular pay, 20 every
|Fold err employed therein. This would
be procuring labor very much below that
for which the Company could obtain 1t
in the market, and the proposition should be
at once accepted ana acted upon. III the
.Govcrnmen, intends TO continue these troops
in its service, il would be consulting III own
and the interests OF the public, by using them
for the purposes proposed by Gen. Sherman.

alike too poor TO erect that grea1 want Of the
