The Friendship Of Gran, aud sherman

nO UA Auu
We append letter which possesses great
interest at this time. 1t has been published be-
fore, but since the attempt that has recently
been made to excite jealousy between the two
leading soldiers of our army it is worth while
to show how far above so discreditable senti-
ments they have always been. This letter
was written by Grant to Sherman, just after
his appointment as Lieutenant General in
1864, and is in the following terms:
DEAR SHERMAN, = The bill reviving the
grade of lieutenant general in the army has
become law, and my name has been sent to
the Senate for the place. i now receive orders
to report to Washington immediately In per-
son, which indicates confirmation, or likeli-
hood OF confirmation. / start in the morn
ing to comply with the order. While 1 have
been eminently successful in this war, in at
least gaining the confidence of e,public, no
one feels more than how much of this sue
cess is due to the energy, skill and harmo-
NOUS putting forth of that energy and skill,
of those whom it has been my good fortune
to have occupying subordinate positions un-
der Inc. There are many officers TO whom
these remarks are applicable, to greater or
less degree, proportionate to their ability as
soldiers; but what want is to thank you and
Mcpherson, as the men to whom, above all
others, feel indebted for whatever have
had of success.
How far your advice and assistance have
been of help to me, you know. How far your
execution of whatever has been given to you
to do entities you to the reward 1 am receiv-
ing, you cannot know as well as l.
L feel all the gratitude this letter should
express, giving il the most fattering construc-
ton.
The word you 1 use in the plural, intend
ing it for Mcpherson, also. Ishould write to
him, and will some day, but starting in the
the morning, do not know that will find
time Just now. Your friend,
A U. S. GRANT,
Maj General

This assertion Of the ekcellent Bishop u safe,

biased, no reader ID impartial. 7a4i =
This narrative illustrates a very important
difference between our Roman Catholic brethren
and ourselves. A good Catholic, no matter what
his rank culture, believes in such things
without an effort. 1t was not necessary for the
| faith of Catholics that Bishop England should
gather such q mass of testimony. Three good
witnesses would have sufficed quite as well rs
three dozen. But no amount or quality Of tes-
timony could convince q PrOte slant mind that
Mrs. Mattingly's tumOr was cured INTERNATIONALLY,
| and her linen miraculOusly cleansed. For my
part, If the President and Vice.President, If the
whole Cabinet, both houses of Congress, and the
judges of the Supreme Court, had all sworn
| that they saw this thing done, and myself had
seen lt,-nay, if the tumOr had been on my own
body, and had seemed to myself to lie suddenly
healed,-still should think it more probable
that all those witnesses, including myself, were
mistaken, than that such a miracle had been
performed. Such is the incredulity of modern
lied mind, especially, if that modernized mind
has occasionally served on jury, and so learned
the value of human testimony.
