A REMARKABLE discovery is said to
have been made in Washington. 1t is
to the effect that the enforcement of an
order issued by Secretary Stanton in
1862, and continuing until 1866, levying
a tax of SIS per month upon the wages of
each colored attache of the military
service, designed to create fund for the
temporary maintenance of freedmen
amounted to an enormous sum, of which
$15, 100000 were never expended in the
manner contemplated, but remained in
the hands of Quarter masters, who,
being under no legal obligation to turn
over or account for the money, have had
it ever since. The Secretary of War
refuses to entertain a claim for the re-
storation of the money to the employees
from whose wages it was duducted, hay
ing no funds wherewith to pay such
claims, if allowed, and so an appeal is
to be made to Congress for an appropri-
alton. It has a queer look, this pro-
posed haul of $15, 1000, ,000,-as though
it might be Democratic bid for the
colored vote, OF probably magnificent
scheme concocted by parties into whose
hands the claims have fallen for mere
song. It is matter which will bear
looking into.

.RATAN AND LINCOLN.

Then came the march through the
Carolinas from Charleston steadily north
and The burning of Columbia, which
Sherman believes 20 have been an acci-
dent arising from the criminal folly of
the Confederates in setting fire to their
cotton. When the army leached Colds
boro, Sherman took a run up to City
Point to meet Lincoln. The President
remembered him perfectly, and they en-
gagged IN the most interesting converse
ton. Having made good long social
visit, they took leave and went to Grant s
quarters, where Mrs. Grant had provid-
ed tea. "While at the table," says
Sherman, ''Mrs. Grant inquired if we
had seea Mrs. Lincoln" ''No," said
the General, ST did not ask for her and
L added that I did not even know that
she was on board. Mrs. Grant then ex
claimed, ''Well, you are pretty pair, %
and added that our neglect was unpar
donable, when the General said we
would call again the next day and made
amends for the unintended slight. The
next day they called, and Mrs. Lincoln,
who was not we'll, didnot see them. Gen.
Sherman gives full notes of his CONVEX
sation with President Lincoln. s'Of all
the men [ ever met he seemed to possess
more of the clements of greatness, COM
bined with goodness, than any other.
When at rest or listening his legs and
arms seemed to hang almost ifeless,
and his face was carewo1n and haggard; J;
but the moment he began to talk his
face lightened up, his tall form as it
were unfolded, and he was the very i'm
personation of good hu1nor and fellow
ship. The last words I recall as adj
dressed to me were that he would feel
better when [ was back at Goldsboro.
We parted at the gangway of TIE River
Queen about noon of March %, and [
never saw HIM again. During this
conversation Gen. Sherman asked Pres
ident Lincoln what should be done to
Jefferson Davis and the political leaders.
''As to Jefferson Davis, says Sherman,
ssAfr- Lincoln was hardly at liberty to
speak his mind fully, but intimated that
he had better clear out, escape the corln-
try, only it would not do for him TO say
50 openly" AS usual he illustrated his
meaning by a story. A man who once
had taken the total abstinence pledge
when visiting q friend was invited to
take q drink, but declined on the score
of his pledge. when his friend suggested
lemonade, which was accepted. In pre-
pairing the lemonade the friend pointed
to the brandy bottle, and said that the
lemonade would be more palatable if he
were to pour in a little brandy, and his
guest said if he could do SO unbeknown
to him lie would not object, from which
illustration 1 inferred that Mr.. Davis
was to escape unbeknow to him.

THE bill presented by Minister Dufa-
ure for the regulation of the public pow
ers in France certainly contemplates a
long step toward Americanizing the in
stitutions of than country. The legis-
lative department is to consist of two
bodies, the Senate and the Chamber of
Deputies, which are to meet annually in
January. The President can communi-
cate with the Legislature only by mes
sage. When measure has passed both
houses, it will be sent to the President,
and if he disapproves, they are obliged
to reconsider their action, though it ap-
pears that bill can be passed over a
veto by majority vote. The President
and his ministers are subject to impeach-
ment the charges must be presented by
the lower House, and the case tried by
the Senate. 1t is easy to see that our
constitution was drawn on for the lead
ing features of the Government that is
to secure perpetuity to the French Re
public.

A GENTLEMAN at the Windsor hotel,
New York, was greatly disturbed by
hearing some one walking heavily in the
room overhead, up and down, ceaselessly
by the hour. Finally, thinking the per-
son might be in great distress, and be-
ing anxious to relieve him if possible,
the gentleman rushed up the stairs and
knocked at the door. 4 voice bade him
enter, and upon doing so he saw young
man, apparently in great distress OF
mind, standing in the middle of the
room. sMy FRIEND" said the humane
caller, ''what is the matter?" 'sOh, sir, -
was the reply, 'I am ruined. I have
S5, 600 to pay in the morning, and can't
raise dollar els that all ?" was the
soothing response; ''then go to bed,
young man, go to bed and let the other
man walk!'' There is whole chapter
Of modern American philosophy in that
yarn, and it ought to be true.

RECENTLY cat played the following
prank upon Syracuse gentleman The
person had retired to bed, and had lain
there some time, when his wife, in the
next room, heard singular noise. She
inferred from the sound that her hus-
band was sleeping soundly but the
noise grew more intense, and she con-
cluded to find out what it might be. She
went into the sleeping apartment, and
found the family cat with its nose thrust
into her husbands mouth, and its paws
tightly clasped about his throat. 1t re-
quired considerable exertion to remove
the animal, as it clung tightly to its po-
sition. The gentleman was nearly suffo-
Gated, and but for the timely interference
of his wife, would have been killed.

FORESTS IN GERMANY.-Few people
have any idea of the extent of forest
land in Germany, and most imagine that
of the Black Forest little is left except a
tradition and a conventional blister of
woodland, so named. On the contrary.
in Honover alone there are 900, OOC acres
of wood under State management, while
nearly fourth part of the area of
Prussia is in forest, although half of that
IS in private hands. As is well known.
the forest administration in particular
districts has long been famous, especial
ly III Thuringia and the Harz mountains.
In North Germany generally the re.
sponsibiities are allotted in districts
among carefully organized body of
officers, presided over by forest di-
rector.

THE CAPTURE OF SAVANNAH.

We learn from the memoirs of Gen.
Sherman that the capture Of Savannah
was also his own act, against the wishes
of Gen. Grant. AS soon as Sherman ar
rived at Savannah Grant wrote to him
to fortify himself on the seacoast, leave
behind artillery and cavalry and bring
the balance of his command to Richmond.
Sherman replied that he would prefer to
take Savannah, thence to march toward
Columbia and Raleigh. Thomas had
not attacked Hood as was expected and
Grant, impatient for the contest, had
thought of going to Nashville in person,
but contented himself with sending out
Logan to relieve Thomas. In obedience
to Sherman's urgency, Grant changed
his mind about embarking his troops,
and the result was the capture Dec. o.,
1864, and an order from Grant to carry
out his own ideas and to march with his
army by land.

TIE ROMANCE OF THE MARCH.
Gen. Sherman's style becomes pictur-
esque and vivid in treating of this march
to the sea. at Covington the negroes
were simply frantic with JOY, and clus-
tered about his horse, shouting and
praying III their quaint style, which has
a peculiar eloquence 'sthat will move a
stone, and 81 can now see a poor girl,
in the very ecstacy of the Methodist
shout, hugging the tattered banner of
one of the regiments and jumping up
TO the feet of Jesus" Then there CAME
an old, gray-haired dnegro-'.about as fine
@ head as [ ever saw. [ asked him if he
understood about the war and its pro-
gress. He said that he did; that he had
been looking for the angel of the Lord
we professed to be fighting for the
Union he supposed that slavery was the
cause, and our success would be his
freedom. I asked him if all the negro
slaves comprehended this fact, and he
said they surely did," It was a hard
time with the plantation of Howell Cobb,
the famous rebel general, when Sher-
man reached it. He gave orders to Gen.
Davis to spare nothing, and that night
the plantation was destroyed. ''Sitting
III front OF the fire that evening"" says
the general, 81 became conscious that a
negro with tallow candle in his hand
was scanning my face closely. Iinquir-
ed, what do you want, old mani He
answered tDey say you is Massa Sher-
man. [ answered that such was the
case, and inquired what he wanted. He
only wanted to look at me and kept NUT
terlng dis nigger can't sleep dis night.
There were appeals from the Southern
erS TO rouse and de1end Ine1r native soil,
but Sherman kept marching steadily on.
'sWhen the soldiers took MilIedgeville
they organized a Legislature of their
own and had merry pranks. Beauregard
called on the Georgians to rise for the
defense OF their soil, as he was hasten
ing to join them. Senator Hill tele-
graphed from Richmond that every citi
zen with his gun and every negro with
his spade could do the work of the SOL
der, and members of Congress tele-
graphed to assail the invader in front,
flank and rear by night and by day and
let him have no rest. At one point
there We're torpedoes on the road, and
handsome young officer had his foot
blown to pieces. Sherman formed his
prisoners into an advance guard, and
made them march at the head of the
column and remove the torpedoes.
Finally on the 18th of December, about
a month after tie departure from Allan
"a, Sherman's troops captured Fort Nc
AlGster, and his army was on the sea-
coast under the protection of the gnns
of the federal army, and with abundant

SHERMAN AND STANTON.

The difficulty between Gen. Sherman
and Secretary Stanton was one of the
painful events of the war and to be at
tributed solely, we think, to the pecu-
liar temperament of the two men.
Stanton paid Sherman visit on the 18th
of january and ordered all this cotton to
be sent North. By the orders of Star
ton all the marks were obliterated from
the cotton, which Sherman "thought
strangely of at the time and even more
so now.' ''For [ am assured" he says,
''that claims, real and fictious, have
been proved up against this identical
cotton of three times the quantity actu-
ally captured, and that reclamations
have been allowed for more than the
actual quantity csptured-31, 900 bales"
Stanton remained with Sherman some
days, seemingly very curious about
matters and things in general" He
did not think that some of Sherman's
generals had shown kindness to the
negro, and he complained OF Gen. jeff
erson c.. Davis. Sherman defended his
generals, claiming that they felt SYM
pathy for the negroes, but ''of differ
ent sort from that of Mr. Stanton, which
was not the power of humanity but of
politics." There was O conference be-
tween Secretary Stanton and a delega-
ton of negroes, and among the questions
addressed to them was this: estate
what is the feeling of the colored people
toward Gen. Sherman, and how far do
they regard his sentiments and actions
as friendly to their interests or other
wise" The answer was that they had
the utmost confidence in Sherman "as
man in the providence of God set apart
specially to accomplish this work
This was certainly singular interview;
and Sherman, commenting upon it,
says with naive and, we think, pardon
able vanity: ''It certainly was strange
fact that the Secretary of War should
have catechised negroes concerning the
character of General who had COM
manded 100, 900 men in battle, had cap
tured cities, conducted Is, 900 men sue
cessfully across 1000 miles of hostile ter
ritory and had just brought tens of
thousands of freedmen to place of Sc
curity. But because he had not loaded
down his army by hundreds and thous-
ands OF freedmen negroes it was con-
strTled by others as hostile to the black
race" My aim, says Gen. Sherman,
twas to whip the rebels and humble
their pride and follow them to their in
most recesses to make them fear and
dread us. Stanton was not in good
health, although he appeared robust and
strong, he complained a good deal of
internal pains, which threatened his life
and which would compel him soon to
quit public Office. He said that the
price of everything had so risen, in
comparison with the deprecated money,
that there was danger of national bank
ruptcy. and be appealed to me as q SOL

THE MARCH TO THE SEA.

On the 10th of November, 1864, Sher-
man set out upon his march. His army
was divided into a right and left wing
under the command of Gems. Howard
and Slocum, and was composed of about
go, 900 men. Most extraordinary efforts
We're made to purge it from non-combat-
ants and sick men, and every soldier in
the army was "well equipped and pro-
vide6 as well az human foresight could
with all the essentials of life, strength
and vigorous action. Provisions for
twenty days and forage for five were
taken. Sherman's description of the
morning when the march began is vivid
and picturesque: ''We stood upon the
very ground whereon was fought the
bloody battle of July %, and could see the
copse of wood where. Mcpherson fell.
Behind us lay Atlanta smouldering and
In ruins, the black smoke rising high in
the air and hanging like a pail over the
ruined city S'Right before Us the
18th corps, marching steadily and rapid
ly with & CHEEKY and swinging pace,
made light of the many hundred miles
that lay between Us and Richmond.
Some band struck up the anthem of
John Brown. The men caught up the
strain, and never before or since have /
heard the chorus done with more music
or harmony of time and place. Then
we turned our horses heads ito the east.
Atlanta was soon lost behind the screen
of trees and became thing of the past
Around it clings many a thought of des-
perate battle, of hope and fear, which
now seem like the memory Of dream,
and have never seen the place since
The day was extremely beautiful; clear
sunlight, with bracing sir, aud an unus-
ual feeling of inspiration seemed to pre-
wade all minds-the feeling of something
to come, vague and underlined, still full
of venture and intesa interest. Even
the common soldiers caught the inspira
