GEN. SHERMAS's vrEws.-A reporter who

GEN. SHERAfAN's VIEws.-A reporter who
has recently visited Gen. Sherman says:
The name of General Howard was men
toned and of him Sherman spoke in the high
est terms. He said that he twas distinguish
ed for his great goodness of heart and his
generous devotion to the poor, and thought
the time was coming when he would be ap-
preciated better than he is at present. He
loved the cause of the oppressed with an en-
thusiasm," he said, (which only death could
quench. Mighty in the field, he was yet
mightier in his sublime philanthrophy."
The mention of the consolidation of the
army led naturally to the large number of of
ficers who would necessarily be placed on
waiting orders. We were very anxious to
learn General Sherman's views on the dispo-
sition of these supernumeraries. He said
that he had made calculation, and that
about six hundred officers, of various grades,
would be thrown out of service by the consol-
idation. Were he authorized by Congress to
attend to this matter he would do Justice to
all meritorious and worthy officers. Three
Lieutenants could be assigned to each COM
pany. and the balance he would muster out
without DELAY. Four hundred might be re-
tanned with profit to the nation by this ar
ranpement, and the rest, whom he denomina-
ted as shysters, ought to be promptly cashier
ed for QrunkeuntSS anu general prO1lQaCV.
1t was here suggested that the indiscrimin-
ate muster-out OF old army officers, whose
military tastes and habits untitled them for
any other business, would be very unjust. To
this he replied, addressing nv friend. the
Congressman: "Let your folks 90 to work
immediately-pass law for the government
OF the army authorizing me to weed out the
useless and worthless officers, and two-thirds
OF the six hundred now in waiting orders
Will be assigned to appropriate duties, and
the balance 1 will make civilians OF in twenty
four hours"
Here again he INDUCED in powerful aud in
dignapt datribes against drunken and gam
bling officers Never can your correspondent
forget the fierceness with which Sherman
smoke of these characters. his quick, stormy,
imperious eye flashed with indignation; his
proud frame swelled with vehement vexaiion,
furious impatience and savage determination.
Renewing his appeal to the Congressmen he
reiterated his earnest wish that there might
be legislation on this subject before Con-
gress adjourned.
