Sherman and Joe Johnston al the
GayOSO,

For the first time since his deposition by Jefferson
Davis, Joseph f. johnson met General Sherman
evening before last, at the Gayoso House. 1t is
needless to say that the greeting Of these soldiers
was kindly ard cordial. Hundreds of citizens call
ed these two Generals whose genius lends bright
est lustre to the annals Of fFatricdal war By
them the arts Of offensive and defensive campaigns
were exhausted. Through all future time those who
would excel, in doing mischief to mankind, will
study each days story Of that ninety days of battle
from Dalton to Atlanta. No two commanders were
ever more tireless and sleepless. If Sherman al
ways moved TO the right place, Johnston never did
to the wrong one. And when long line OF earth
works was abandoned, extending twenty thirty
miles across the country, and all corps and division
moved nwardly to a common highway each
passed the point of intersection of routes, another
fell in behind with the precision of clock work
Humboldts head was never so full of maps as John
stons Of charts of Northern Georgia.
Would that such men may never again have Occa-
sion to exercise matches skill in winning glory at
the cost of human anguish, yet while mankind have
wars, warriors must be pre-eminently great. More
than this unless American craftsmanship rise to the
standard of excellence which it lost with Clay, Web
ster and Calhoun, the very globe may soon trembIe
beneath the tread of armed men, and woes of the
late may be trihing as tears of childhood COM
pared with that convulsive agony of soul which
humans heroes.
Gen. Sherman III external appearance an unas-
suming plain citizen has been in the city several
days. He left last evening for St Louis at the same
hour with Gen. Johnston, en- route to Cincinnati
Both these gentlemen vigorous and active
Johnston, when his robust appearance was referred
to, said he had more than his share of vigor He
wore citizens suit of plain black, and singuarly
enough, hat with narrow brim and round top. He
* therefore thoroughly reconstructed" Despite
all this he is brusqne quick decisive in all he says
and does. The old soldier still crops out. Easy
polished and suave in manner he won the regard of
all who approached him. His room in the Hotel was
next that Of Sherman. If flank movements were
neither executed nor evaded at the Gayoso in dreams
or fact, we shall never have faith in that hu-
man magnetic sympathy which evokes the wonders
of spiritualism.--uemphis BRLLeti1.

'Tf you are opposed to taxation without
representation-rote for Hester Ctynaer.--
Copperhead Organ.
This is fair specimen OF the arguments
used to elect Clymer What is meant by
taxation without representation? Has any
Republican offered to disfranchise 10y
al man ? OF course not. Clymer's friends
do not make such charge, but we do bold
" and emphatically charge that Hester ely
mer voted for the disfranchisement of Penn
sylvania tax payers. because they were gull
ty, in his opinion, of the horrible ofense of
shouldering muskets and marching beyond
the limits of their state to peril their lives
in defense of the National Union ! This
was Clymer' political view of taxation with
out representation. He voted to disfanchise
the men who were battling to save their
country, notwithstanding these men were all
subject to taxation Now, however, he and
his friends are raving with madness, because
the rebels, who for four years fought to de-
stroy the Government are not at once IN,
vested with the rights and franchises which
they six years ago cast, from them. These
are some of the nice distinctions in Hester
Clymer patriotism and justice. Telegraph.

Fighting Masked Batteries.

When Geary marched in triumph through
the heart ofthe rebellion, one of his greatest
impediments was presented in the masked
batteries which he was compelled to demol-
ish. In an open field, the rebels of the
South were easily crushed. Concealed by
masked batteries they managed to prolong
the war. But even the masked battery was
not proof against Yankee valor. In the po-
litieal campaign just opened the ebels of
the North are disposed to try the plans of
the rebels of the South. At York, the 9th
er day, a fire ,cos opened on the boys an blue
by Copperheads conceoledo behind masked
batteries. But even whilo thus protected,
it only required one chai sc from the boys in
blue to put the skulkers to flight Hence
forth during the campaign, let the friends
of Clymer be known as the masked battery

The Philadelphia. Resoluti 5ns. sts

The Richmond Erantner says Ger
tain il is that $, me of the declarations made
in those resolutions are what no generous
man ought to have asked Southern citizen
to vote for and what no Southern citizen
could vote for, without grossly compromi-
sing the dignity ct his Sta e and outraging
the sentiments of his people. 1t is one
thing to submit-to abide result-to COW
enant to do so with full purpose to keep the
engagement honestly. 1t is another to JUS
tify and applaud the means which brought
it about. How could the Convention, North
or South, vote that the war has maintain
ed the authority of the Constitution, when
the Convention was called together for the
express purpose of endeavoriDg to restore
the Constitution. now trampled under foct :?
How could Southern men thus sanction the
constitutiondlity of the coercion of State
HO,o could our delegates unanimously and
enthusiastically rote to repudiate the Con.
tederdte debta And especially how could
they thus join in recognizing the seruices
of the Federal armies, and the obligation OF
the robbed and penniless widows and or
phans of eur own dear martyred, murdered
heroes, to pay some debt as justly due by
then, to those ,cho made them so !? Our peo-
pie submit to the violence that has beggar-
ed them, and to the military force that has
put the noblest and best of our sons beneath
the sod but they aciU nerer SO dtshonor the
grares of our heroes, as enthusiastically to
applaud sach utterdnceS as tve haze referred
to. The North might well adopt such dec
arations, and we should not quarrel with
them for it; but enough, thousand times
enough, that the South should be silent
amid the denunciutions of her cause, and
the e.rultations ocer her defeat
Yet the E:rnminer says it shall cooperate
with those who formed the Philadelphia
Convention. That way runs the only road
that can possibly lead the rebel chiefs back
