WEST TWISTED, JULY 18th, 1866

k WEST W1NsrEB, JULY 18th, 1866.
 Mr. Editor:
 The earnest men of the party are rejoicing in having secured the appointment of good man as Deputy Sheriff for this part of the county, against great opposition by suudry unscrupu- lous politicians. The High Sheriff has done himself honor by appointing Capt. Samuel B Horne, late of the llth Regiment, c ", and who distinguished himself in no less than twen- ty-seven battles, besides many severe skirmish es. during the war. Capt. Horne went into the army as lad. and step by step fought his way up to the 5aptaincy, filling the part of a Pro. vost Marshal meanwhile. with great credit, and being at one time on Gen. Orr's staff. His services to his country. and his uuexcsptiona- ble character were near being set aside as of no consideration, through the violent opposi. tiona of some defaulting Republicans, who work ed for Hubbard in hope to get office. But they made mistake in their count, and when Hub bard was defeated they began to repent and repented 30 edolefully as to excite the pity of some soft heads. who vainly sndeavored to se- cure the office for one of their number. But justice has triumphed at last, and these treach- erouspoliticians who allowed themselves to be SO easily bought, are at last, sold' themselves. Were they men, generally, they might be pitied for their gross error.-but. as it is. we have the last of them we hope. We expect to see them go boldly over to the Democratic Party now and make place for better men. We shall be glad to be rid ofthem. Ii

Gen Sherman.

Gen Sherman on his way east last week vis- ited New Haven, where he was enthusiastlcal- ly received and made short addresses to the students of Yale College and atthe Merchants Exchange in his characteristic, incisive man. ner, from the Conriers report of which we extract the following. t 'a-Gg --
 He addressed the students as boys and 'said
 ''I suppose you think you are men now, but you will find that before you have lived twen- ty years longer, you have much to learn, You cannot appreciate to highly the value ofevery variety of knowledge. No subject is ever studied, no tool is ever invented. which does not find it's duplicate at some time. Subjects which may seem te you the most useless, the study of Latin, or Greek, or chemistry, for instance, will always, at some time of your life, come in play. The most successful men have ever seen have been nominally unedu- cated men but they have been men who used whatever they once had learned. Whatever you study learn we'll. Digest it so that it be- comes yours. If you pursue this course and take one definite object in life, to accomplish which you bend every endeavor, you will sue. ceed. The humblest of you with this single ness and intensity of purpose will infallibly succeed" far -za-,,-. s,,. -
 On his arrival at the Merchants Exchange, after few remarks, by Mayor Sperry, the General arose saying he should prefer to re- main silent but as he must speak he would speak briefly: z.iz
 "Of course he was stranger personally in Connecticut, yet the name of Sherman-allu- ding to him of revolutionary fame-had be- come familiar to men of Connecticut long ago. Our family does not claim tp be descended from the great Roger, yet we slip in a claim of family connectionship when we get . chance He came from the Roger Minor Sherman fam ily, we from the Judge Taylor Shermans, with whose descendants we yesterday Gin Nor Walk) spent the day. Both families bore rep utatious for virtue and unspotted integrity, I believe. The whole family of Shermans hail ] from Connecticut; and I, though western man, willingly admit that am full blooded Yankee. (Applause.) doubt whether any of us are the architects of our fortunes. We ] receive impressions-whatw we see and hear our senses take in, and all go to form our characters am proud to say also, that am a citizen of the United States, and an officer of the United States army. lGreat applause) l I care not where reside-East, West, North, or South-so long as can render service ts my country. Applause In the West we are still a young people, and we are great country. But wherever you go in,the West far vest of the Rocky Mountains --there you will find the indomitable Yankee, and there you will see evidences of his manufacturing skill and merchantile ability.

The Senator from the l7th.

We have always listened with pleasure to the arguments of this gentleman at the bar and dislike to do our manifest duty by the speech he has published in the. last Sentinel, In the course of his remarks he refers to .Thaa.' Stevens, Andy Johnson, Mark Anto- ny, Charles Sumner George Washington and other distinguished individuals, hardly doing justice we think to some of them; in fact, he speaks of almost everything except the const1- tutional Amendment, the question before the Senate. .-.- .@
 One original discovery however the sena- tor frem the 17th certainly has made, that Secretary Seward is in collusion with Ste vens and Sumner
 s.With his accustomed witty and slippery policy, without consultation with the Presi dent-without ss much as showing him the resolutlon-on the same day transmitted cer. tifed copies to the Governors of the several States.
 It would appear that this was all in accor dance with pre-arranged pan to spring thls matter npon the country. to obtain a snap judgment. and avoid the effects of a veto of the President if the resolution was presented to him for his approval.
 But the plan has been frustrated-the in iquity has been unmasked; the President true to his purpose to stand by the Constitu- tion-has spoken in unequivocal terms Of dis. approbation, not only of the amendment itself but of the way and manner that it was passed and forwarded
 This explains, what we never before under, stood, the object ofthe Presidents 'brevst ve- to- It was shot, let off after manner pecu- liarly presidential, at his particular friend the Secretary of State. --.5
 We object also somewhat to the Hon. Sena- tors style; to his calling Thaddeus Stevens "the mighty moloch," (he might at least have given him capital M,); to his sneering at MT Lincoln as 'sthe commissioned saint of lib erty;' and especially to his worrying the American eagle and soaring about in the mosi ambitious, irregular way on all sorts of rhe. torical pinions. A~..
 It is, in short, such speech as a man might be pardoned for perpetrating at g politica1 convention, but which we are surprised to sec a gentleman of sense and ability coolly write out and publish. ylr o..-,
