GEN. SHERMAN.

A correspondent OF the New York
Post, who accompanied Gen. Sherman on
his Western tour to Colorado, writes
from Danver city, October 4th, thus:
Gen. Sherman travels in the simple
style characteristic of the man. You re-
member he started on the Atlanta cam
paign with a simple tent fly" and car
ryiDg the plainest of camp equipments
Equally simple in his "outft" now
When about to leave St. Louis, in an
swer to his servants question as to his
baggage, he said: Goa, put me up a
shirt No baggage wagons are allow
ed in the expedition !; each mans person
al property being carried in his ambu-
lance. The general had no escort, ex-
cept in the most dangerous part of the
Indian region. He carries no tent, his
ambulance serving as a bedroom and
meals are served under a canvass "fy,"
stretched from the top of the ambulance
to the gorund. The party travel from
thirty to forty miles daily.
While Gen. Sherman is eminently ge.
NAL in social life, and affable to every
one, he dislikes presumption, and is very
apt to put a sudden check OF unwarrant-
ed familiarity, At mt Of the posts on
the road, an i~ll-mannered fellow-a
wealthy contractor, by the way-pushed
into the private quarters where the Gen
eral sat in after-supper chat, and insisted
on the commanding officer introducing
him at once !; which being done, LIE fur
Their interrupted the conversation
"Wall, Gin'ral, thought I'd come up
and shake hands with you heered you
was passing threu."
Sherman quietly looked at the man,
who continued as follows:
II want to tell you, Gin'ral that it's my
opinion you oughter to station a com
pany of cavalry here went on the in
fatuated man.
The General did not move his eyes from
him :they began to twinkle
"This yar's an important post, yer
see. You don't know it, maybap, but
you ra-ally oughter have a cavalry here.
And l kin sell them hay and forage cheap.
er than any around"
The mar said no more, for in his quick,
nervous way, Sherman broke out: You'd
better 60 to blowing! l think you're
fit for that /! What were you saying

Ex Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, in a
recent address before the literary society
of North Carolina University, spoke as
follows:
No monuments Of our victory are for
for us, no national jubilee can we cele-
brate, no songs of triumph oon our maid
ems sing, or garlands Of glory e !;
there is no welcoming of returning 0 n
querors, For erecting of triumphant arch
es for US, to console US for our great de-
feat and heavy sorrows which, fit
ting, still is sitting in our household and
all that we have left for our comfort is
the sad yet tender light which plays
around the memory of those who died to
make it otherwise. ~ +

WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?-The South is at
this moment in the most profound quiet
and repose. There is not a rebel in arms;
there is not a Union soldier necessary to
preserve order in any part of the South
ern States !; there is absolutely not a rip
pie left to show where the great ship of
the C%onfederacy sunk, and sunk forever.
Yet, at radical meetings, the proposition
to march slaughtering, burning and con.
fscating columns into the peaceful and
unresisting South, is received with up.
roarious applause. In the name of hu.
manity, justice, civilization what does
this mean ?-Balimora Transcript.

A GREAT CuR1osrY.-W have often
heard of the honey ant " Of Texas, but
the account seeming SO ':omantic we have
heretofore hardly been able 10 credit it,
but as we now have a specimen before
US, furnished by our friend, Leo Smith, of
this city, we a no longer have doubts
on the subject. These ants are a medium
size, between the small and the red ant,
and are of a redish brown color. Ap-
pended to the rear Of each one, is a trans
lucent sack or globe filled with pure clean
honey of a most delicious flavor. The
sack varies in size on different ants, rang
ing between the sizes of a buckshot and
a common navy pistol ball. On this sack,
at short intervals, are attached thin lay
ers about the length and breadth of q
half grain of rice, and of a dark color,
evidently to strengthen it and keep it in
shape. These interesting animals when
they crawl, draw their delicious load
after them, and if the sack is opened, the
honey rum out, and they set themselves
to work to replenish it again. Whether
they deposit this honey in their great
general reservoir among the rocks, to
draw from it as occasion may require,
or hold and use it as individual property,
VI are not informed. Here is q curiosi-
ty that we believe he's heretofore escaped
the eye and pen If our celebrated natur-
alists.-S San Antonio Ledger. Il

A MAGIC TR1cK.-ht a celebrated Pari-
sian restaurant, in 1851, an extempore
bet was decided, interesting in its way.
A Mississippi gentleman won a big pile
He bet that be would bring five hundred
drops out Of an empty bottle, from which
the last supernacrlum had been drain
ed.
1t was done in the fairest way, with
out any dodge, on the purest pbiloso
phical principles. The secret is this:
there is a great deall Of moisture still re
naming in the bottle, only it is dispersed
all over the inside surface in Homeopathic
particles, too minute to be poured out in
any ordinary way. You take the bottle,
hold it nearly horizontally, shake it we'll,
and strike the lower part Of the neck re-
pea'ediy on your hand. After you have
manipulated it in this way for a minute
or two (the length of time depends on
the performers skilI) the moisture be-
comes collected and condensed in the
neck, and then you can jerk out upon q
plate or sheet Of white paper more drops
in a quarter of a minute than you can
count in a quarter of an hour 1t made
quite a sensation at the time, but soon
spread about. A Frenchman who was
present, exhibited the trick the next night
at the Maison dor.

THE sTONEWALL CEMETERY
Observation-Disclosures OF HENRY
- A. WISE.

The dedication Of the Stonewall Gene
tery at Winchester Va, on Thursday, the
address was delivered by Henry A. Vice.
The speaker dwelt at length on the
bravery and devotion of the Confederate
army, and after ap%ostrophizing stonewall
Jackson, said that StonewalPs example
was not only admonishing, but cheering
and full of lope. 1t puts to shame the
dead dogma that the faith IN the truth
of a moral principle can ever, or could
ever be submitted to the arbitrament Of
arms to be conquered, by the mere force
of numbers, but it scouts that worse
than diabolical dispair which maligns a
cause worth Stonewal Jackson's fighting
for, and worth his dying for, by calling
it a lost cause, as if cruciixion could lose
a cause.
The captain Of our salvation was con-
quered, He died, that the cause might
live !; and from that day to this the blood
of the martyr has been the seed of the
church. So with the seeds of truth on
earth. If our case was lost it was false.
IF true, it is not lost. First victories
cannot be termed final results. There
were many errors in our ways of going
out to war. These errors fell. The truth
for which they fought still | We.
While waiting for the resurrection or
their coming !; in this hour of darkness
and doubt ; to all who, recreaut, would
abandon faith !; to all who, despairing,
would abandon hope to all who, tempted,
would resort to forbidden ways /; to all
who, timid, would shamefully succumb
to the old Virginians, he said that the
weaknesses and glories of the past must
pass away ; to the young Virginians,
be promised a day brighter than any that
had gilded the history of the State.
He appealed to them not to emigrate
to take their fortunes as they are /; and
from the present small beginnings, work
forward. he asked them where they
would go if they leave Virginia (? Would
they leave the United Statesi And il
they supposed the United States were
not free, where else on earth did they ex.
pect to find people IS free? BE exhort.
ed them to a life of work, of constant
uncbtrusive quiet labor. r-lF- t
The cause of the former slow prog
ress of Virginia, he believed was slavery
which creates a landed aristocracy, an
~tagonistic to progress and repellant tc
immigration. He stated at length the ad
vantage of inviting immigration, now as
slavery was destroyed, and smoke further
on the mineral resources Of Virginia.

with a revolver, the chickens belono;nn

each: This morning the suit came of'
ex,Mayor Hon. James I. Lyndes beino
the counsel for the prosecution. the do
PENDANT appearing for bis own defense
The court o was crowded. for II.
idea Of trying an editor for stealing ~
shooting chickens was a novelty. Tia
plaintiff brought in his bill, swore 10 IT,
correctness, testified that he owned The
chickens, that they were raised BY a hen
belonging to him, that he saw the defend.
ant shoot them, that he had repeatedly
asked the defendant to settle for them.
and, failing to get pay or satisfaction, be
was compelled TO bring suit, and asked
for judgement of 81 and costs.
The defendant admitted shooting tla
chickens, and proved by four reliable wit.
nesses the following facts
In April, 1866, the defendant owned
fast trick running mare, Kitty, which.
animal was kept in a stable hired BY him.
and cared for by one of bis employees.
Through a little hole in the barn Of stable
the plaintiffs hens would fly in and eat
the oats intended for the mare Kitty, and.
on the approach of any one would iy out.
In IN old barrel in the stable. one Of the
hens, q black one, made her nest, and
laid thirteen eggs therein, and proceeded
to raise a family. When the ben got
ready to set, the defendant instructed the
boy who took care Of the mare to 70
down town, and purchase thirteen eggs
of j. W. Robinson 4 Co., grocers, and
put them into the nest, first removing
the other eggs. The boy did so, Is was
proved. He then personally drove the
hen out of the stable q dozen times or
more, tried to make her leave, and she
would not, hut proceeded to incubate
bis eggs, duly bought ana paid for, with.
out his consent, leave or license, after re.
peated efforts on his part and BY bic
agents to have her vacate his premises.
And, further, when the hen had Matched
his eggs, she ran away with his chickens.
To her services he brought an offset, the
use of the stable and board in the shape
of oats. He charged her with two eggs
,he spoiled, and demanded judgement for
the balance of the flock, nine in number,
1t fifty cents each. And, besides, he
proved that the chickens did not belong
to the h,n, as she was black, and the
chickens were red or sweckled /! Hend.

patient bearing, the judge decided that
there was no cause for action, and that

nine chickens and the plaintiff must pay
the cost Of the suit, amounting to ST
