In bis review OF Gen. Sherman's Memoirs
Gen. Doynton insists that Sherman Was to blame
Tor the failure to destroy the whols of the rebel
armT at Resaca in Nay, 1861. At ths outset Of the
March to the Sea, aud not afcpheEson, as Sher-
man intimases. Gen. Fitzpatrick, who Was
prominent actor in the events around Rosaca at
the tlme in question, wrote letter to tho New
York Times OF Wednesday, in Which be defends
the maneuvros OF Sherman, and declares that
the escape OF Johuaton's army Was dno to tho
e1cessiva caution OF Mcpherson in failing to cut
Tho railroad and occupy Resaca. The letter has
drawn ont q number Of others pro and con-, and
it IS probable tho opinions will bo as As diverse
rs have been those with regard to the merits of
Gen. Shernan's work. Samuel Buel, OF tha Gen.
eEal Theological Seminary. in New York, sends to
the Times extracts from letter Of his deceased
Hon, Col. D. n. Buel, Chief Ordnance Officer OF
the Army OF tbs Tennessee during Sherman'a
campaign in Georgia. Tho letter Ia dated Aug,

come and kill him unless he left the country
within twentv-four hours.
'tDick could not exactly Sec the point, and to-
gether with six or seven Of the Sutton bows
went to Clinton Monday, Dec. 81, to offer his
services to the Sheriff. AS they reached there
and dismonnted, the Taylors (ti7e men) at onco

Tho Hartford (Conn.) Courant p1ints the par

to see some one IN the bank. Nh. Abbott went
to the curb, where was standing Il carriage

seated. Introducing himself, she at once maco
known the object OF her visit, which was to as
certain the rates Of exchange on Glasgow, Scot

however, no one besldes the boy in or near the
bank, but it was surmlEed that some oue might

announcing that ho was III possession
Of valuable information. An Interview with
him was then had, and it became evident that he
was acting as attorney for the party or parties
who had possession Of the booty. He said thai
the currency could not be returned, but the
securities would be on a payment Of $4,000 in
cash, which would make total loss Of about
$1,000 to the bank. This offer WAS refused as

but the money for 3 consideration Of 81, 200 and
this amount Was paid and the property Was

A Bill of Romanca

After Rutherford B. Hayes gradu-
etod at the Harvard Law School in
1S45, he commenced the practice Of
law in Fremont, Ohio. and was con-
sidered brilliant, rising young mao.
He was fine appearing, intelligent,
and haodsomc, aud as IL was well
understood he was the heir Of. bis
bachelor uncle, 5ardis Biichard, q
well-known banker ond merchant Of
the town. young Hayes was consider
ed u good catch by mothers all moth
ers all over the State who had mar
riageabls daughters In 1S49 or
1850. young Hayes visited his moth
er at his birthplace, Delaware, Ohio.
DELAY ware was the seat Of The celebra-
ted OHIO Wesleyan University, q
Methodist institution used extensive
y as female college, which stood in
the midst Of tho town in the ccntre
of a large aud beautiful park. ..'he
feature of this ground is Its immense
spring, which gushes out of the
earth in huge jet cool and sparkling.
furnishing pure water for oil who
come. Around this spring seats have
been arranged, aud tastfully laid ont
littlo fower-beds embellished il. To
the evening this is tho most popular
spot.
Young hayes, in company with
other young men, used to go TO this
spring 10 the evening, generally
choosing their time when the Uuiver-
sity girls came there also Among
the bevy Of young ladies was one 10
particular who attracted Gvernor
hayes attention. She was sparkling.
bright aud witty, and the park al
ways rang with the echo OF her mer>
ry laug hter when she came to the
spring. This young lady was res
mark able for her long flowing black
hair, dark eyebrows. pearIy white
teeth, and beautiful eyes, and was fa-
nous for her laughter, and of course
was leader among the girls Of her
school. Before knowing her name
the young lawyer fell in love with her
aud ho made up his mind that the
gay, laughing girl he met at the col
1ege spring evening after evening
was the one ho was looking for US his
wife aud future companian in life,
and so he opened his heart to his uu-
Gle and mother.
In the course Of time the lawyer
and lady were introduced, and she
turDed out to be Miss Webb, Of
Chillicothc, Ohio, a descendant of
most excellent family. The love en-
gendered at the spring ripencd into
true and honest affection, which was
fully reciprocated by the lady, who
iu due course of time became Mrs
hayes. 1t was true love match
and u happy union it has proved
Mrs. Hayes has done much toward
making Gov. hayes popular. She is
modest aud retiring. with q raro fac
ulty for entertaining company. Her
virtues are extolled by all who
know her. She will provo an orua-
