GEN. SHERMAN AND SHILOH.

teH. oHk1MAN WILL pfoOhD!y hnvo lis tiArld9
full With the controversies TINT hnye grown
out Of tho publication OF his "AIemoirs" It
would have boon impossible to publish any
book Of the kind without troading on somc-
bo.ly's toes and hurting somebody's feelings;
hartlly possible without making some mia-
takes and doing somo injustice. But Ger
tainly Gen. SHERMAN In entitled to the credit
accuracy Of statement, aud ho should not be
lightly charged with carosessnoss, which Is
tho very opposite of the military charnctor-
istio Of the man and his book. A recent in
stance Of tho anxiety in certain quarters to
give tho " Memoirs a reputation for inac-
curacy appeared in the Chicago Times few
days ago, which referred to Con. SukR9AN,s
remark that F" Gen. GRANT did not mako m
ofacial report Of the Bnttlo Of Shiloh" The
Times then proceeded to quote ut length
from letter written by Con. GBANr on or
Hbout the day of tho bottle. A representa-
tive of The TRIBUNE was put in communica-
ton with Gen. SHERMAN to ascertain his view
Of the matter, and it Was found that he did
not regard this letter rs in any sense an
official report; and, in confirmation Of this
opinion, ho referred TO printed document
entitled Battles Of Pittsburg Landing (Sen.
Er. Doc, No. G6: Thirty-soyenth Congress,
Second Session). This volume contains oil
tho documents which the Secretary of War
(Alr. SrAN1oN) was able to transmit to the
Senate in answer to q resolution Of that body
calling for them. In letter transmitting tho
samc, the secretary wrote: "1n answer to
the resolution Of tho senate calling for the
copies Of al otficial soports from all officers
in command relating to shs recent battles Of
Pittsburg Landing, I have the honor to
transmit herewith all tho reports (ono hun
dred and sixteeen in numbor) indicated by
tho resolution which havo yet been re-
ceived by this Department. This docu-
ment contains Gen. BuE1Ls report, and also
roporta from ffty-four Of tho subortlinates in
the Army OF the Cumberland It also COT
tains fifty-eight reports from subordinate
Commanders Of the Army Of the Tennessee,
but mono from Gen. GRANT. This document
is official, and shows ooncluBively that tho
Secretary of War had no report from Gen.
0nANr which he regarded as official. This Is

the fact that some Of their members had

urally Imagine that the high standard OF

have led them rather to shield and con-
ceal the fact that some OF their number
had been derelict in a matter OF that
kind than to proclaim it abroad through
the medium Of the public press. The
challenge they publish in the second res
.olution Is peculiarly disgusting, not only
because Of the very decided Olor OF bum

cause Of the unseemly eagerneSs they

In conclusion | would say to the local

tested his pOrCine propensity for sticking

REPoRT OF YIsIIISG CoNNuTTEE.-A
meeting Of The various Committees Of the
BSlisi, Association vas heldih The First
fttbbytsdah Church yesterday morning,
when reports from the various wards
were made, Tbs Committee on Visitation
reported about fifty cases OF families in
destitute circumstances, The highest
number was in the Fourth Ward, where
tlirleeA fdtlilipS were bupdl AeSt game
The SIKH with ten, and the others ranged
from three to six each.
The report developed several extreme
cases, among Others the one noticed by
US yesterday. lp the FiFst, Ward on
Sunday morning week, which was the
coolest day Of this year, woman gave
birth to a child. There mol being either
fire or food in the house, OF course the
child died. Since that time, until the
organization Of the Relief Association,
the family, which consisted Of two or
three small children, by some means
managed to exist Within . few days
the Ward Committee Of the Relief Asso-
citation furnished all necessary attention,
and now, under the care Of DR.. Baird,
the woman is doing as well rs could 10
expected.
In The Eighth Ward, a woman was bit
ten by dog a few days ago, and seriously
injured. She is the mother of three or
four children. The family were found
in u state Of abiect poverty, there being
not an article Of food or Gre in the house,
The woman is partially p4Ealyzed, and
liGrihhh 30 badly swollen that She Il per-
fpctly helpless. DR.. Hazlett, Chairman
Of the Eighth Ward Committee, rendered
immediate assistance, medical and other.
wise. DR.. Hazlett was instructed to re-
port the case to the Overseer Of the Poor
in Richie district aRtbif possible have
the unfortunate woman removed to the
Hospital, and IN case that official declines
to do SO, he was authorized to attend to
the matter himself.
