The bravest, most intelligent, most gener-
Gus men IN the free States rushed to the
defence Of the nation and demanded to be
organized. That was an army which in
every soldierly element has never been
equalled But what sort of an army IS
that into which sons and nephews are inn
portuned and bored bv mothers and aunts
into soft place." General Sherman, as
honest as he is brave and wise, struggled
in the House and Military Committee
room against the endeavor Of the Ord
nance Corps to procure a repeal Of the law
which suspended promotions in that body.
The law was passed to stop the crowdmg
into it of useless officers, who desire to be
soldiers. but don't intend to fight. Cen
eral Hawley Vt Connecticut, Il member of
the committee moved check to General
Sherman with the remark that the Presl-

peal OF this restrictive law 70 this tie
General OF the Army replied Yes, he

Imothers and aunts who want to get their
