GRANT AND SHERMAN.

From The NJ Y Commercial advertiser.
general Sherman has refused to commit
himself for Grant in public speech WorLd"
The following is from Sherman's address
before the annual meeting of the Army of the
Tennessee
"After a whole year of toll and battles, varied
in adventure that would fill a volume, that re-
nowned fortress (Vlcksburg) succumhed at last
TO the army and navy, led by two heroes that
have no superiors in any country; and both of
whom still live to reap the reward of their
labors-Grant and Porter"
The following was General Sherman s speech
at st. Joseph
"Gentlemen:-Mr. Grant and myself know
how TO appreciate any spirit of respect, but
neither General Grant nor myself are TO be dis
large crowds, and we cannot be disconnected
General Grant has declined to make q speech,
and think, occupying the position he does
before the country, he acts the part of wisdom.
"6entlemen, do not in general counsel Vio-
lence, but were l q citizen OF st. Joseph,
would take that man (reerring to the one VINO
Missouri and duck him. We have fought
Rebels, and we thought they had enough OF
fighting"
The following are extracts from Sherman's
letter of March, 1864, to Grant, oOngratulat-
lug him upon his triumphs:-
"You are now Washington's legitimate sue
cessor and occupy position of almost danger
GUS elevation, but if You can continue, as here
tofore, to be yourself, simple, honest, AMI uu-
pretending, you will enjoy through life the
respect and love OF friends aud the homage of
millions of human beings that lOiU alOdrd yoU a
large share in securing TO you and their descen-
dants q Government of law and stability.
believe you are as brave, patriotic,
and just as the great prototype, Washington
as unselfsh. kind hearted aud honest as man
should be, but the chief characteristic is the
tested, which can liken to nothing else than
the faith Christian has in the Saviour"

SGsppage of q Train and AttOmpted
Robbery of S3OO,OOO.

A Brownsville (TeXasl correspondent, writing
on the 18th instant relates that on Monday
night, the 10th instant, conducta from Mon
terey, with 100000 in specie, was attacked
within three miles of Matamoros by six despe-
Iadoes, who succeeded in taking possession of
the train. The guard, acting as escort to the
treasure, consisting OF thirty men well armed
with Henry rifles, were either surprised and
overcome, or perhaps had private understand
ing with their assailants beforehand, and were
overcome by the prospect of sharing the
itch booty, with the cap'ors. The six
daring outlaws, however, succeeded in
getting possession of the treasure and
would, no douot, have succeeded ia carrying
it off and secretlug it, but one of the escort
more daring than the Others opened an attack
on the robbers by firing on them from one of
the wagons. He succeeded in shooting one of
them named Miguel Ramirez, through the head,
and in Woundlng another seriously. On this
show ofplucG and success, the remainder of the
escort rallied around their intrepid leader, and
succeeded in arresting four of them. Among
the latter is desperate named Abram Garcia,
who, il is said, is long known as robber and
assassin under the nom de gue1Te of Caballo
Blanco.
About a year ago the young mau Ramirez
was under indictment for the murder in the
District Court of this place, but discharged by
nOte prOSeque because the evidence against him
was insufficient to sustain the charge. His
father is wealthy old miser, and like several
others of the robbers he is connected with some
OF he most influential families in Matamoros
His dead body, perforated by two bullets, was
exposed at the calaboose all day Tuesday.
The fellow Cabalo BlanCo, whose crimes are
said to be almost incred bic from their number
and audacity, has been demanded from the GUS
tody OF General Palacios, the military COM
mf n1ant by the civil authorities, and the former
has surrendered him tor no other known reason
than that 1t Is supposed he has influential
hackers in Mats moros who hope thus to save
him from certain punishment and, perhaps,
themselves from exposure as accompices in
some of his crimes.

specially chartered, we were soon on our way
over the mountains, and out OF hearing OF the
music of the ce-houses, and the
boisterous profanity of gambling hells,
always heard In the streets OF Benton.
We arrived at the encampneut juet a. The
dinner hour, and arranging our toilet ~ we
soon availed ourselves OF the invitation to set
up and make ourselves at home.' SO, as our
lamented Ward would say, we setp Our bill
OF fare was not Just the one our friend Sidney
Colt would place before the hungry traveller,
but the condition of our stomach, and the
novelty oil the place conduced to make this
homely repast really enjoyable. Our seats and
table consisted of gunuy bags spread on the
ground, our cutlery butcher knife, our china
ware an old smoky lin plate, a two quart basin,
or pan as 1t Is known in Penusy lvanla, Tor our
coffee cup, and our bill of fare was coffee,
bread and bacon. THIS bread is rolled and
baked in ashes and Goals over o wood fire, and
though not SO light as l have tasted, it was
really very palatable.
Dinner over we took a stroll about the en-
campment visiting the different wagons, aud
talking with mauy of the families who are
mostly poor emiprants but there were n few
very intelligent aud respectable families.
1T was amusing TO read the various inscrp-
tions seen on the covered WAGONS such as
There is liberty in Zion "A lode of gearls
wanted The girl left behind me- etc. etc. /
learned, however, that this was done by mis-
chevous boys on the train. We spent the after
non IN this way and in walking along the banks
OF the Platte. where we found some beautiful
handsome setting OF jewelry, and much superior
to anything have yet seen.
"At certain hour in the evening the bIgle
sounds, and all descend from the wagons aud
form themselves in q circle, when a brother
steps out to the centre, aud with eJ and hands
upllited and with ferveucy seldom heard, for
fifteen minutes implores the blessing Of God to
rest upon his people. Imagine five or six hun
dled people IN the darkness of night, lit up only
by the fires which they had kinded and the
stars from heaven, far from civilization, out on
the broad plains with the heavens for their
shelter, formed in a circle, with heads bowed
and uncovered, listening TO and engaging with
brother in prayer, who from his fervency we
have no right TO believe insincere, and you
have one of the most impressive scenes l ever
witnessed.
'Aher prayer the old folks retired TO Their
wagons, while the more agile and youthful
ones remained to while away few hours IN @
dance upon the green; and they engaged in il
with JOY that knew no bounds, and rude and
awkward as they were. in this dance l saw
displayed genuine politeness that many o.
our Eastern and more polished ball-goers might
learn and profit by.
Having witnessed all there was to be seen
bade adieu TO my Mormon friends, and returned
again to Benton, which was now In all its pros
perty and brillianCy.n

A correspondent o, the Meadville (Pa.) Repub.
licdn writes from Wyoming county,
"On my trip from Omaha to this city became
acquainted with a Mr.. and Mrs. Woods, on their
way TO salt Lake, and although not in reality
Mormons themselves, many OF their relatives
were, and they were in charge of one of these
Mormon trains.
"Iu MI. and Mrs. Woods found most agreea,
BILE companions, and many mrthful joke passed
over the prospect OF Mr.. Woods accepting the
Mormon iaith on his arrival at Salt Lake; a Joke,
however, that Mr, and Mrs. Woods could not
fully appreciate.
From Benton the Mormons left the cars and
proceeded to a point tour miles north on the
north fork of the Platte river where there were
some two hundred and tty Or three hundred
wagons and families waiting their arrival before
commencing the long, wearlsome journey.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-0fficers of the Senate

They are of the opinion that the pressure from

COMMISSIONERS difficulty, will secure quorum
here on the 2lst of September.
Ths Revenue Supervisors.
1t is probable that before the Supervisors are
appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury 1t
will be necessary for the Attcrney-Geueral to
