General Sherman ON General GRANTS
Pence Policy.

A reporter of tho New York Her
aid reports some remarks made by
General Sherman as part of an Gin
tervicw' with that officer just prior
to his departure for Europe on the
frigate Wabash. Being asked about
the Administration policy in tho
South, tho General said {:
sH don't care to speak plainly on
those matters. 1t is not in limo Of my
duty. l think, however, that when
the war was ended warfare against our
brethren Of tho South should have
ceased. The negroes are we'll dispos-
ed and kindly people, but they are
not, as a class, posted in the science
of government they are apt to make
mistakes and behave rashly. But |
have no doubt whatever that every
thing will turn out all right in tho
end. The Union mon in the South
were never fino class of people, and
some down there now would be better
out Of it, but their presence in tho
late insurrcctionary States affords
no proper excuse for acts Of lawlcss-
ness"
"Then, General, you do not approve
of tho ropressive acts of tho Federal
Government 7"
81 think mistake has been made.
They are not all rascals in the South.
The majority Of tho people arc the
best citizens of the republic. The
young men that followed the retreat
i gConfed. rate into Texas,9th mon of
the army Of Virginia, and the lads of
the West who Leaned toward the South
were capital fellows, though mistaken.
These in my opinion, should have
been appointed to position under tho
government as maishals, postm asters
internal revenue collectors, and to
other Federal and State Offices, in
stead of being driven into opposi-
tion. l really believe that these
young mon represented the South,
and that they were ready to cry 'pco.
cavi and support the Government.
[ am sorry they were not treated
properly. But it will be right in the
end"

Deceptive Insurance Policies.

"Our attention has, within afew days,

The Wild Woman.

Gchhartsvilic, Somerset county,
/ Pa, claims the sensation Of the
weeks. J., has genuine simoA.purc
! wild woman, almost as nude rs was
Eve after the fall, for she wears only
an apron Of leaves, sandals of bark,
and necklace of tea berries. Swift
as doe, people havo rarely been able
tn see her features distinctly in ber
visits to the ncighboriug farm houses
and outskirts Of the village yet those
who have seen her declare that she
is far from uncomcly in pc,son and
conntcuarco. Her oval face is sot
with keen black eyes, and framed in
long masses Of flowing black hair; aud
with her tall, sleuder figure, she has
the air of the queen Of the forests.
Like most women, she has great
dread Of men, and bounds away over
fences and fields Whenever ono at
tcmpts to approach her Yet sho is
consistent, and avoids in manner toe
great familiarity with women.
For children, however, sho seems
to have great Iondncss, as was cxem.
ph'iod only a few days past. While
passing near the house of farmer the
cspicd little girl three or four years
old, playing in the road. Crouching,
sAc crawled bohird fence until
within short distance Of the child,
then, with n bound, cleared the
fence, III the next moment sciz-
ed the screaming little one,
and was away Mt tho top Of her
speed. Tho mother hearing tho
screams of her child, pursued, scream
ing yet moro loudly. Her husband,
attracted by tie cries Of both, hastonod
to the scene. The wild woman, finding
herself cncumbercd by tho weight of
the child, dropped it and escaped.
The latter was uuinjurcd, with tho
exception Of some scratches, which, no
donb: arc attributable to the long
nails of the strange 1cnizen of the
fields and forest.

Fire In GrCCnYillc.

The most disastrous fire that has
occurred in Greeuvillo for many
years, broke out about 8 O'CLOCK, to-
night, in the extensive planning, sash,
blind and carpcnt cring establishment
Of Cline g. Gibbes, on the river, below
the new bridge, involving complete
destruction of all tho machinery,
tools, glass, builders hardware, fin
isbcd work, etc. as also tho build
ings-amounting to loss of over
$4,000, without insurance. In the
ouilling was about $500 worth of
dressed flooring sash, doors, ETC., be-
longing to Captain j. w. Cagle also
attached to the building, was a saw
mill belonging to Alex. McBee, Esq. =,
loss about 200. No insurance.
The loss to Cline & Gibbes is very
severe, as they have several extensive
contracts in hand unfurnished. They
are energetic and reliable contractors,
and tho destruction of thoir establish.
mont is a serious loss to our city.
The fire is 10 doubt tho work an

R.bbery and Stock JObbing in South Caro-.
lima Tweed 0ntdonc.

The story which has recently obtain,
ed an energetic publicity concerning the
alleged ovcr-issnc OF South Carolina
bonds seems exaggerated, and does less
than justice to Il conspicuous class oi
scoundrels. The debt Of shat is grner.
ally understood to bo about ten millions
OF dollars, and, with tho exception Of
about one million cte,lilrd to villain
ons lnnI swndling scheme, it. was in
Cured with comparative honesty. The
Legislature authorized the conversion
and consolidation Of Lhis debt, and hv
virtue OF thus authority twenty millions
of bonds have been printed. .Appar-
emily there was some dishonest purpese
in printing so large quantity; but
whatever this purpose may have been
it does not appear to have been
executed to any such extent as the issue
Of tho whole amount.
Gov. Scott AYERS that he has nine
millions Of these signed. This state
ment is partially corroboratnd by the
Vice-Presldcnt of the American Bank
Note Company, who has informed us
that out of the twenty millions printed
he has still in his vault six millions
which lave not yet been delivered to
the State author ties. Now if Gov.
SCOTS assertion bo correct, and we have
no evidence to the contrary, the whole
Of tho twenty millions printel are &C
counted for, with the exception of one
million only. This million is not hard
to find. It is undoubtedly the million
which until the other day was hypothe
catcd for the money used in the purchase
OF the Greenvillc Railroad by the ring
OF carpet-bag robbers who now rule
South Carolina. They took these
and pledged them for their own bcnciis
and without any legal authority in
other words, they stole them. Like
other thieves, they doubtless hoped mol
to be found out but when the holders
OF this million Of stolen bonds failed to
receive the interest on their loan, and
saw their collateral decreasing in value
they threw the whole upon the market
IN order TO savo themselves.
This produced heavy decline in
South Carolina securities, ind the car
pot-bag thieves seem TO hs.o taken ad-
vantage Of thn public -I.saf Oil tic sub.
Ject to -depress their market price .still
further in order to buy in tie stolen
property for a song, 80 as to Escape pun
ishmcnt for their knavcrv. Whether
they have.accomplished this purpose or
not, the bonds have risen again in tho
market a week ago they sold at 2S,
and on Saturday they were firm at 80.
This shows that in financial circles the
opinion prevails that this special rob-
berry, instead of amounting to many
millions. has not exceeded single mil

an incident in the Life of Gen. Lcc.

One morning in February, 1865,
shortly after the battle of ltatchcr's
Run, General Lee, accompanied, as
was often his habit, BY single cou.
ricr, rode up to the headquarters Of
General Gordon, who at that time
commanded tho Confederate right,
and requested that oIlicer to 90 with
him to look at some carthworks then
icing thrown up noar Burgess mill, :,
on the Boydton plank road.
The writer, with several other staff
officers, accompanied Generals Lee
and Gordon, riding ont Of car-shot,
and SOME distance behind them. The
two Generals arrived ut Burgess
mills somewhat in advance Of us, and
as wc rode up, were engaged in oarn-
est conversation, in relation to por-
ton of tho breastworks which had
been very injudiciously located.
just as we came up General Lee, who
had been ~ intent on the oxamina-
ton Of the work, that hc seemed to be
unaware that our party could hear
him, remarked to General Gordon.
"fhc engineers appear to have stakcd
off this part of the line very badly"
when on looking mp and porcciving us,
he added, in louder tone, "but 1
reckon the engineers know their bust
ness better than we do"
The engineer who had general su-
pcrvision of the line was an officer of
high rank aud great skill, and the
mistake was that Of one Of his;subor-
dinatcs.
General Ice evidently made his
last remark to III, in order t, do away
With any Injustice to the officer, and
to exclude from our minds tho idea
that he intended to censure a supe-
rior Office in the presence of his u
niots. Although he must have known
as we knew, that he was recognized
as the greatest Of living engineers,
he did not hesit tate, in order to shield
his subordinate from the disparage.
mcnt which might have arison from
remark not intended to be heard by
us to use the strong language that
"the engineers knew their business
better than we do" This is but one
of the hundreds Of littlo ineidonts
wh:c! might-,,.be collected, showing
his iuvariable oars aud thoughtful
ness, even in tho smallest matters for
the feelings of his unhesitatirg as
