IMPORTANT RAILROAD CoSyEcTIoY.-The
Piedmont railroad, running from Danville to
Greensboro, N. c., has lately had its gauge
changed, and made to connect with the Rich
mond and Danville railroad, so that passen-
gers can go through from Richmond to Green's
boro' without changing cars. This is an impor
tant connection, and adds much to the convent
ence Of the travelling public. The delay in
the commencement of the rebuilding of the
Richmond bridge was caused by the freezing of
the Susquehanna, which prevented the trans
portation of the timbers for the bridge here
We learn that the timbers will soon be brought
on, and the workmen will commence on it.

THE NEW KENT MURDER CASE CosTrSuED. -
Shields and Clarke were before the military
commission again yesterday. This was the
fourth day of the evidence. Shields Is a man
of trim build and medium size, probably
thirty y-one or two years OF age, with raven
hair and restive black eyes, dark moustache
and imperial. Clarke we would fake TO be
twenty, of small, loose figure, dark hair and
eyes, and dull, stupid expression OF face.
Both of them seem cool, and apparently
unconscious of the horrible offence with which
they are charged.
Mr.. McJordan, at whose house Clarke was
arrested, was the only witness examined. He
stated that both of the prisoners came to his
house in n two horse buggy. Clarke remained
at his house, Shields leaving with the buggy
and horses, and in n short time returning with
the horses, but without the buggy Shields
then left one of the horses with the witness,
going off on the. other, stating that he would
return in a day or two.
On ncross-examination by J. Harmer Gilmer,
Jr, counsel for Clarke, the witness stated that
Clarke had nothing to do with the buggy or
horses, and that Shields told him Clarke was
n friend of his, whom he had recently met.
The evidence being closed, the commission
adjourned until Tuesday, when Mr.. Gilmer,
Jr., will deliver the argument for the defence.

Prof. d. II. Maham, of West Point.
under whose tuition Generals Grant and
Sherman were when at West Point. pub
fishes letter giving some reminiscen.
ces of their stu dent life, from which the
following extract is taken:
Grant always showed himself = clear
thinker and steady worker. He be-
lonsed to that class of compactly strong
men who went at their task at once, and
kept at it until finished. never being
seen, like the slack twisted class,
yaNninS, loaing on their elbows over
their work, and looking as if just ready
to sink down from mental insanity.
Sherman was the reverse of this in
manner Eager, impetnous. restless. he
always worked with a will. being one of
those of whom Byron says: .Quiet to
quick souls hell If he wasn't at
work he was in for mischief If. while
explaining something to his class a. the
blackboard, heard any slight disturb
ance. denoting some fun, l was seldom
wrong. in turning round, in holding up
my finger to Mr. Sherman But one was
more than repaid for any slight annoy
ance of his kind, by his irreprcssible
good nature, and by the clear thought
and energy he threw into his work.
That he SHOULD accomplish something
great | was prepared to learn. But not
so in Grant, whose round CHEEKY, boyish
face, though marked NTH character and
quiet manner, gave none of that evi-
dence of what he has since shown he
possesses.
Grants mental machine is of the pow.
erful low pressure class, which condenses
its own steam and consumes its own
smoke. and which pushes steadily for
ward and drives all objects before it
Sherman belongs to the high pressure
class. which lets of both with a puff
and a cloud. and dashes at its work with
re istless visor. the result of sound
boiler and plenty of fuel
The question is often put to me wheth-
er l look upon Grant and Sherman as
great men To this there is but one re
ply. Postcrity alone. when the clouds,
raised hv passion, prejudice and parts
ansi!ip shall have been dissipated, and
truth revealed in all her distinctness,
will be competent to pronounce upon
this point, But if great deeds, the re
suits OF high mental and moral powers,
OF magnaninity and generosity toward
public and private enemies. are charact-
eristics OF greatness. then cannot the
need oi this ennohliny patent be with
held. in our own day, from either of
these men.
