GEN. SToNESrAN-A KIND Acr.-
The Memphis Bulletin tells tho fol-
lowing on Gen. Stoneman:
Ou Saturday afternoon, General
Stoneman, the General commanding
this district, performed n kindly and
benevolent act, which deserves to DE
recorded. While the General was
passing along the !evec, he saw five
Confederate soldiers, ON their way
home to New Orleans from the Nort]i.
They were poor, their clothes were
torn and ragged, and all of them had
lain long on their beds Of sickness in
a Northern hospital, recovering from
desperate wounds. He learned their
sad story the heart of the General
was touched walking mp to one
OF the men, he handed him n five
dollar bill. The Confederate asked
his name, and on being told that the
generous donor was Gen. Stonemau.
his heart filled and his tongue was
unable to utter the thanks which his
heart dictated. In u few minutes, he
recovered himself, but the General
mad left. He, however, told several
of the hystan,lcrs what had taken
place, and the manner in when he
had been relieved hy gallant officer
and brave enemy. Gen. StOneman,
by this noble act has shown that,
when wal Is over, he, Mt least, can
forget and forgive, and, when it is
required, can put his hand in his
pocket and relieve the poor wounded
soldier who had fought on The other
