From the New York Hcrald's rc-
recently published, we reproduce the
subjoincd paragraph:
"Thcrc is long i"ttrr FROM Shcr-
man to lTallcck, written on the Eth
of September, 1863, in which he gives
his ideas about The rebellion and its
possible future. Lincoln was anxious
to publish this letter, but sherman
would not consent to it. lie opposed
the revival of the State Governments
in the South. Two more battles would
have to be fought before there could
be civil order, 'Onc near Meridian, in
November, and one near Shreveport
in the spring. AS for the farming and
artisan class in the South, they would
move with the politicians. AS for the
Union men of the South they were
beneath contempt, and the young
bloods,' sons of planters, lawyers, they
were good billiard players and sports
men, but they never did any work and
never will.
War suits them, and the rascaIs are
brave, fine riders, utterly reckless, who
must all be killed or employed before
there can be peace Civil government
would be ridiculouS.' There should
only be military rule until the armies
of the South were conquered. The
Union should be paramount, and there,
could he no compromise and the war
must be fought out to the end. If this
letter had been published at the time
it would have made IL profound i'm
preston but Sherman was rcsolutc in
his determination not TO take any part
in politics."
