An Interview Between General Sherman
and Mrs. DIR. Walker.

The presence of Mrs. DR.. Walker at the wo-
men convention renews the recollection of IN
interview which took place between that some
what remarkable person and General Sherman
| a. Atlanta, during the war, and several weeks
after the city had been captured. BY some
means, known only to the mysteries oc the fe-
male mind, the woman doctor had been able to
avoid the order forbidding any OF her sex 10 en-
ter the city, and, with a degree Of perseverance,
peculiarly her own, she walked into the private
room of General Sherman, and demanded COM
mission in the medical department of the army
The fact is not publicly known, but General
Sherman is weak when a woman is concerned
that is to say, he would run rather than have
hard words with one of them and the tears of
female rebel had more terror to his soul than Il
thousand Beauregards So, when the little woman
renewed again and again her demand for an ap-
pointment the General, like great soldier, as
he is. changed tactics in the face of the enemy.
Why don't you wear proper clothing? That
toggery is neither one thing the other" said
the General, as he pointed his finger to the mon
descrpt garb of the Doctor.

81 suppose you would like to me in hoops,
and heavy skirts dragging down my hips, to the
destruction of health and comfort? What right,
sir, have women, who bear children thus to des-
troy their best powers and unfit themselves to
be wives and mothers ?'

The conqueror of Atlanta was somewhat taken
aback by this charge of horse, foot and dra-
goons, but be plucked up courage.
Ibid you ever bear children?' he. asked,
with sardonic emphasis.
She had to admit that she had not done any
thing of the kind.
The General added severely:

to see you, hoops or no hoops, do see any
need that women should he injured by wearing
them, or the moderate use of the costumes of the

the General, getting excited, what are ycu
here for, anyhow? Breeches no breeches, the

First News from the Arctic.

The brig KohoIa. Capt. Trip, arrived on Weines-
day last from the Arctic, bringing the first news
from the whaling feet cruising in that Ocean The
RohoLG Is owned by Nessrs. l. Hofschlaeger & Co,
and has been very successful, having taken 500
barrels Of oil. filing up all her casks, and has also
IL. 900 pounds Of bone, most Of it large head bone
When she left the whaling ground, on the 10Th OF
the water was literally filed with whales,
and the eight or nine ships in sight were all boiling
down. The weather, however, was intensely cold,
and the Ro6oi9 had four men frozen ON the day she
left. This cold weather would interfere with the
taking Of whales should it continue long, but in
former years the wind has been very variable during
and October, allowing OF good whaling
during these months
The water has been quite free Of ice this year, and
little or no dassge Is reported TO any Of the vessels,
excepting the loss Of copper. and in one case loss
Of eutwatcr. But it may turn out this year, as
in former years, that the bulk Of the damage from ice
is late in the season.
The following report embraces al the vessels which
were heard from, and mny be considered q very good
report for the first received IL seems likely now
that several Of the ships reported will return with
from ,2OO to 1900 barrels each, and the prospects
for an average catch, or something better, are now
very fair /:

The True Issue.

The Gazette is trying hard to prove that " An
ti-Coolie" means ~ Anti-Chinaman,'' and to
publish the feeling here as one and the same with
that of the prosecutors of the Chinese in Caliior-
MIA. IL as no such thing. One of the leading
Anti-Coolie speakers on Tuesday evening last,
said, as near as We can remember, = we are not
against Cinnamon a. such. Any man, black,
white, or yellow, Is welcome to this country, if
he comes rs n freeman to compete with his fellow
men," The cheers that followed this, told well
where the audience as well as the speaker stood
on that point.
Again, a certain =. Sunday orator - sneered ut
by the Government paper, and is reported as per-
suading the people at a public meeting that the
a. Chinese were unnecessary here and possibly on
the face of the earth" The writer of that con-
iemptible editorial report was not present on the
Sunday evening previous. But other members of
the Government Press were present, who can
testify that the discourse was from the words
a. Who is my neighbour that the whole energy
of the speaker, from beginning to end, was directed
against prejudice of race, and that in fact the en-
tire 40 oratorical effort or whatever they may
call it, was especially intended to allay what feel
ing on that subject had already arisen. 1t is
utterly inexcusable for intelligent men, with high
social position so wilfully to misrepresent facts.
90 Anti Coolie g" does mol mean. = Anti Chinamen.'
and we do not mean that it ever shall, if our
humble efforts can prevent it. We are in favor

pying the floor for at least half of the time,
proloDging the discussion ON the third resolution
until 4 late hour, thus firing out many OF the
audience. Ii is but fair to say, however, that
they behaved very respectfully, with perhaps one
exception.
The Gazette, in noticing the meeting, was not
fair to those who supported the minority report.
Its report of speeches made is garbled. sentences
being taken up without giving the context, thus
destroying the sentiment which the speakers
intended to convey. One speech is handled in a
most contemplate manner, proving the reporter
to be possessed of a very little soul. Mr.. Captain,
a German cooper, took occasion to address the
Minister Of Finance, and not being eonversant
with the idiom of the English language, used the
words " Chinamans " and - Coopcrmans." This
is seized upon as a precious mOrsd and Is served
up to the readers of that paper with evident
delight. We would ask the Minister to whose
department the Government printing Office belongs,
how he would have relished u full account of the
condition in which he came to the meeting, and
a verbatim report of his incoherent speech? Ii
would be equally fair and manly.
At the meeting OF last Tuesday the Ministry
and their hackers were again quite conspicuous,
holding the floor more than half OF the time, Mr..
&. Rhodes occupying the floor forty minutes by
the watch, evidently bent on talking the assem-
bly, out Of the building. Judge Widemann at
tempted to force the majority report before the
meeting for its consideration. with the intention,
doubtless, of creating confusion and breaking up
the meeting. This was all the more shameless
when it is remembered that the Chairman of the
Committee was with the majority, was present
in the meeting at this time. and it was pro-
pcrly his duty to bring it forward at the pro-
per time and place. The third and fourth reso-
Iutions were under discussion the whole even
ing, and the third had been the subject of the
former meetings discussions for ut least two
hours yet when the previous question was called
it was met with loud disapprobation from the
Ministerial side of the house.
Last of all, the public were treated tn n most
disgracefui poster on a public street in which the
names of parties who have taken n part in the
meetings, but who have supported the minority
report, are handled in n most obscene and cow
ardly way. Again the German cooper is held up
to ridicule. We do not charge any one with
being the author of this poster. but the govern
ment are in u measure responsible for it, as they
permitted it to remain until requested to remove it.

ssIshmaelite" Tricks.

We were not aware that there were a Ishmael-
ties" among US, until Thursday morning last,
when a poster, five or six feet in hight, appeared
on the show-board near the corner of Merchant
and Fort streets, designed to ridicule several per-
sons who had taken active part in the late popu-
lar meetings. The poster was harmless SO far as
it pertained to ourselves and to most of the gen.
tlemen it referred to, for we enjoy a little fun
occasionally, even if at our own expense but
when parties in sympathy with the Government
undertake to ridicule a mechanic, who for good
and sufficient reasons had expressed his senti-
ments at one of the public meetings, and taken
down the Minister of Finance a peg or two,
while soaring away in his usual highfalutin style,
then it ceases to be q harmless joke, as it betrays
an animus on the part of the few allied with the
Ministers in this public discussion-a desire to
bring into contempt and if possible gag one of
the speakers who had dared to use the privilege
accorded to him by the Constitution, and express
his sentiments in a quiet though pointed manner.
If, as is reported, this was done by employees
of the Government, We have simply to say that
a departmental officer who does not take reason
able measures to ferret out the scoundrels and
discharge them when detected, must be considered
by the public as conniving at the disgraceful job,
and unworthy of public confidence.
1t is only a variation of the tactics pursued by
the writer of the editorial report of the public
meeting, which appeared in the Gazette of We'd
nesday last, wherein the same worthy German
cooper was held up to ridicule before the public,
because, forsooth, he did not express himself in
as polished English as the gentleman to whom
his remarks were directed. Such base and cow
ardly conduct, though Characteristic of one or
two of the party in power, exhibits the most de-
graded spirit of retaliation. 1t cannot be pur-
sued without having its effect, and showing to
