Gen. sheritlam'S Early Career.

Mr. John Talbot, of the Robinson (ill.)
Constitution. gives his personal recollcctions
of the youth of Gen. Sheridan. He says
About twenty-eight years ago we, the
humble editor Of this little paper, snatched
boy of twelve years-from
humble obscurity. and gave him place in
our store We found him bright, willing
and accommodating, and We took considerable
pains in instructing him in the intervals of
business. We kept him a couple of years
he then went into Il dry-goods establishment,
staid in that for some time, until through the
influence of Gen. Ritchey, then a member of
Congress, he was admitted to- West Point.
He had been, until the breaking out of the
Southern war, engaged III the Indian terrific
ries. Soon after the war began our oldest
son entered the army. We wrote to Shcri
dan requesting his influence toward his pro-
motion. He promised by letter, which we
have before us, to his influence to have
him promoted. He expressed the gratifca-
ton it would give him to do something to
prove to me his grateful remembrance of the
many favors ri conferred upon him in days
gone by But my boy was killed soon after,
and nothing of course was done.
The Marietta (Ohio) Times copies this,
and its editor says
From our tenth to our thirteenth year.
we used to know John Talbot well. and we
have some personal knowledge of the facts
touching his relations to Philip Ii. Sheridan.
from lS4l to 1914 After Philip left Mr.
Talbot's hardware store, he went into the
dry-goods house of David Whitehead, and
continued with Whitehead for two years
So He then engaged with Finck q Dittoe as
a salesman, and he was in their employ until
184S, when, as Mr.. Talbot saws Gen. Thomas
Ritchey. at that time representative in Con
gress from the Ohio Thirteenth district NOM
mated him as a cadet to the West Point

Grants Plan for the Campaign of
1864

\ writer in Harpe7-'s for July, who gos-
sips about our generals. tells some good
stories Of Grant Sherman, Howard, Mitch
ell, Steedman and Nelson-among them the
following:
with all his quiet reservedness Grant
is not always taciturn. He can talk enough
and well enough when it is necessary He
is not by any means contidine; he does not
tell everybody his intentions, his purposes
his unfinished plans; he seldom asks advice
upon plans merely outlined but when he
has decided in his own mind, and explana-
ton to others is necessary, he can be very
fluent of speech. All of Grants letters of
instructions to his commanders have been
noticeable for their completeness, their
quiet conversational tone, and the absence
Of any rhetorical display in style or boast
ing in manner. | particularly remember
the easy and familiar style of his secret in
structions for the battle of Chattanooga J;
they read more like a pleasant letter from
one friend to another discussing domestic
affairs, rather than the commander-in-
chiefs circular ordering the grand move
ments of an important battle. Shortly
after he had been appointed lieutenant
general, and before he had actually received
his commission, but after he had been told
what would be expected of him, General
Grant was the host of Generals Hooker,
Howard and Geary, and one or two of their
staff-officers, who had been invited to dinner
at his headquarters. After the meal and
and while host and guests were enjoying
their cigars, the former taking down his
map remarked to Howard, meaning his re-
marks for all;
General, have shown you what | pro-
pose to do as commander-in-chief?
Howard, Hooker and Geary gathered
about Grant as he spread out his map on
the table, and began to explain what he
had decided upon for the campaign of 1864.
The main efforts will have to be made
in Virginia and Georgia, as matter of
course, since the powers-that is, the armies
of the Confederacy-are there. Sherman

RKMARKABLE EVENT IN STEAM NAvIGA-
TIoN.-Under the auspices of the United
States government there has been made an
experiment in the use of crude petroleum
in steamboats, as a substitute for coal, which
has produced most noteworthy results and
is destined 10 effect an immense revolution
in river and ocean navigation. In ten years
from this dav. or less, we venture to predict
no coal burning vehicles of freight or pass
age. VIII be in use Petroleum now drug
all over the world, and laying idle in mex
haustible quantities, will assume a new
value. and coal will be cheaper for other
purposes.
The [. 5. propeller Palos, in her fur
mace, has a series of pipes supplied with
burners, of which latter there are probably
a hundred. A pipe from petroleum tanks
on deck supplies the furnaee-burner. The
fame from these burners heats the boilers
The burners bv their own heat turn the Pc
troleum in the pipes into gas, there being
an arrangement for infusing air and steam,
and this gas supplies the burners. The
flames produced in the furnace are intensely
hot
The Palos has never made an average
of over s miles an hour. and her utmost
speed was never over 9 for short distance.
On this occasion she carried 35 pounds of
steam steady. made the distance from the
Navy Y ard little circuitously to Boston
Light. ii l-2 miles, in 40 minutes, an av-
erage of IA miles an hour, with smooth
sea The pilot stated that the total trip
from the Navy Yard to and around the
Brewsters and back, 25 sea miles, was
made in l hour and % minutes. The en-
gineer said that with coal he had never
made % miles in less than 1-2 hours

VERY BENEvoLENT:-Mrs. A was
q church member she thought herself very
benevolent; she gave to almost every
cause. We shall see how benevolent she
was. She gave six dollars for pocket
handkerchief, and having half a dollar left
after the purchase dropped it in the box
for Foreign Missions" She gave forty
dollars for a Grape shawl, and two dollars
the same day for " Domestic Missions :
she gave ten dollars for pair of Fear rings.
and quarter of n dollar 10 the !" Tract
Societv:'' three hundred dollars she ex-
pended on fashionable party when her
daughter Amelia came out, - and fifty dol
lars went towards repairing the church and
paving the pastor Her elegant cut-velvet
hat cost fifteen dollars-she paid fifty cents
about the same time towards new Sunday
school library. She gave three dollars for
Eliza Anne's senseless wax doll, and one
dollar towards educating young immortal
in Africa. Which weighed the heaviest
in her heart, Christ or the fashionable
world? Will God be satisfied with the
dribletS which chance 10 remain in the
Christians purse, after every elegant taste
has been satisfied, and that, too, when
heather world is perishing?
\ number of prominent High Church
men, including DIR. Pusey, Archdeacon
Denison, and W. Butler, the successor of
DIR. Colenso, have published an address, in
which they set forth their views of the ele-
ments used in the Holy Eucharist. They
maintain seemingly the doctrine of consub-
sanitation instead of that of transubstan-
tiation. Declarations of this kind will
have the good effect to gradually compel
the Church to define her creed more clear

is at Chattanooga and knoxvilIe we shall
have to reinforce him, give him an over
whelming force, and let him move toward
Atlanta OF course he will meet with Sc
rious opposition, but we shall keep him
well supplied with men-drafting Will be
necessary, perhaps-he must have men, of
course; he will keep battering away, and
some time during the summer he will get
to Atlanta. In the meantime Meade will
be strengthened-we must see that all the
men we can spare shall be in the feld-and
he will push Lee. Both Johnston and Lee
will be kept busy, and neither will be able
to reinforce the other Meade viii drive
Lee, and about the time Sherman gets to
Atlanta Meade viii have arrived in the Vi
cinity of Richmond-I hope in Richmond
But as the occupation of Richmond and At
lanta won't end the war, we shall have to
push on after the armies. Sherman at At
lanta with one hundred Thousand men can
drive Johnston further-follow him to the
sea if necessary. The destruction of the
Georgia railroads will materially affect the
armies in Virginia and the Carolinas
Sherman will push on to the sea and force
Johnston into South Carolina at the same
time that Meade Will have forced Lee INTO
North Carolina. and then we shall have the
Contederacy narrowed down to reasonable
limits In the meantime / mean TO send
a large corps of cavalry west of Sherman,
and efectually prevent Kirby Smith from
joining Johnston, and at the same time de-
stroy what stores the rebels have in the
Southwest This we shall have accom-
plished before winter sets in, and then we
can determine what is next TO be done.
How do you like the general plan?"
81 have not tried to give the generals
exact language, but its import. This plan,
in its general features, was decided upon
and thus announced by Grant within fort
night after he had received notice of his
appointment as lieutenant-general; and up
on this plan the campaign of 1864 was
subsequently carried out"
