Major Generals. W. T. Sherman and

Sherman's speech was brief. He re-
ferred to the history of his march to
the sea, and justified all, the measures
which he felt obliged to adopt in con-
nection with that achievement. Gen,
Logan and Gov. Oglesby each spoke
over. two hours, and among other
things referred to the differences be-
tween Congress and the President,
condemning the latter, and giving an
unqualified support to the former.
The new amendment to the National
Constitution~WasS also discussed bv
both of them, in all its bearings. and
emphatically indorsed by both. The
sympathies of the vast crowd were

FROM sT. LOUIS.


ST. Louis, July 5.-The soldiers
meeting at Salem, III, yesterday, was
the largest assembly ever. gathered in
Southern Illinois, and perhaps the
largest ever seen in the State. Extra
trains were run on the Ohio & Mis-
sissippi, Illinois Central and Chicago
Branch Railroads, and the country
roads were actually thronged with all
sorts Of vehicles, bringing in people
from the adjoining counties. The
lowest estimate of the number pres
ent is 25,000, and some put it much
higher. The procession of wagons
from the surrounding country was
some hours passing a given point,
| Gen. Sherman was the first speaker.
During his remarks he said that there
were persons who had denounced him
as being inhuman, but he appealed to
| the soldiers of the country whether
hehad not always been kind and con
siderate to them. He said in his
march through the South he had
come to the conclusion that it was
useless longer to guard her cities, be-
cause had he gone on stringlng out
his army little by little, very few Hi
nOis or other regiments would have
been left to return home Therefore,
if her principal cities had been de-
stroyed it would have been right, be
cause it was necessary to crush the
rebellion. He made no reference to
the political topics of the day, but
said it was his duty to see that
the laws. were enforced. The
Generals speech was we'll received,
Gen. Logan then made a strong
radical speech, about two hours long,
and was followed by Governor Ogles7
by, both of whom were loudly
cheered. Several tattered battle flags
were displayed from the stand, which
created much enthusiasm among the
soldiers.
Gen. Sherman left for the East on
the evening train. aA

The Metric System .

Our readers are aware that Con-
gress has passed law authorizing the
use of the metric system of weights
and measures. Great Britain has re-
Gently passed a similar law, and it is
understood that in both countries
these permissive laws are preliminary
to enactments requiring the use of the
system, which has already come into
use in the principal countries of Eu-
rope, and will doubtless soon be the
only system of weights and measures
( in all commercial and Christian coun-
tries. a5,
! The advantages of the system are
manifest to all who have examined
the subject, and it can be fully learn
ed and mastered by any one in few
minutes.
In the last issue Of the Scientific
american, we find the following clear
and concise explanation of the system.
First, it is necessary to learn the
meaning of the four units:
Meter, the unit of length, .e
Liter, the unit of capacity,
Gram, the unit of weight, .
Are, the unit of area.

The system is decimal. There is
a measure ten times the length of the
meter, and this is called the decame-
ter; there is another 100 times the
length, and this is called the hectom-
eter. The same way with the weights;
there is a weight ten times as heavy
