Kind Act Of General Sherman.
A bright looking Young fellow who had served
in the Army, also declaimed against the wrong
dome to Union soldiers by imprisOning them in
an insane asylum. He handed us paper, which,
he said, was an order by General Sherm an for
his discharge, but On examination We found it
to be a letter which General Sherman had
release. 1t shows the Kindness of heart of Gen.
Sherman that, with all his pressing duties, he
had taken pains to write an answer OF three let
ter pages to the poor fellow; telling him IN de-
that he Was doing very well, but Thought ne had

Aside from the main edifce there are twoOther
buildings, erected before the war, designed for

are handsome buildings with cheerful wards,
well Sighted, warmed, and ventilated, and fitted
with all the appliances for the best hospital care
OF their inmates. We believe they are-the first
buildings ever erected for the careof the cOlOrcd
insane.
