GEN. DICK TAYLOR.
The Authority for His Article in the
North American Review.

National Associated Press to the Star.
New YoRK, June 7.-Gen. Dick Taylor
writes from Winchester, Va, to the editor
of New York paper, as follow0 In your
journal of the 9th ult., is published a
chapter history, wherein General Grant
pronounces Fictitious" an account of a
tconference" written by me to the Janua-
ry number of the North American Review.
Hislanguage is: "The whole story is fab
rication, and whoever vouched for it to
Gen. Taylor vouched for fiction" My
authority for the story is the late Gen. Hal
Ieck,- who related it to me in New Orleans
in 1874 or 1875 and though not told me i'll
confidence, il would pot have been re-
peated, but FIR the following circumstance:
During the summer OF 1876, at White
Sulphur Springs, Va, General Joseph e.
Johnston gave me the Identical story, upon
the authority of an officer on duty at the
time in the War Office, at Washington.
My publication in the North American
Review excited some comment, and sent
a printed slip containing it to General
Johnston, with note asking him to cor.
rect any errors of memqxy into which
might have fallen. His reply was:
''RIcHMoND, Jan. 8, 1873
'MY DEAR GENERAL-Your note of the
9th and slip for my perusal just received.
My recollection of the conference in the
War Office between the President and Sec
retary of War and Gen Grant agrees with
yours as published in the slip, except that
in the latter Grants indifference to one
hundred thousand deaths is less pronounced
than in my recollection; not materially,
however. Very truly yours,
%. L. JOHNSTON"
Without at all entering into the question
of veraciCy raised by General Grant against
General Halleck and the officer from whom
Jim Johnston had the same story, l sub,
nit that there was justification for~the Ian,
guage employed, viz: 1.-The above came. to
me well authenticated, and have no doubt
of its correctness. X. TAYLOR.

night last, June I'd, as DR.. VIM A. Archer
was returning to his home from the house
of his neighbor Major Burton, about 10
o'clock, about midway between the resi-
dence of Captain Lejeane and his own, he
was fired on by six negro men who were
lying in ambush waiting for him,
Five of the negroes had double-barreled
guns and one a musket. DR.. Archer was
on horseback and riding on the top of the
levee. The assassins were concealed be-
hind two very large cottonwood trees,
standing within few feet of the levee, and
all of the negroes fired as the. Doctor was
passing these trees, his clothes being rid
died with bullet-holes, and he was thrown
from his horse, but fortunately not much
injured.
The assassins took to their heels, run
ming in different directions. Five of them
were recently captured by neighbors of the
Doctor and preparations were made to give
them speedy trial without the usual pro-
cess of law.
A Jury of twelve of the citizens was
chosen, who, after lengthy and thorough
examination, found the prisoners five in
number, one having made his escape),
guilty of shooting at DR.. VIM. B. Archer
with intent to kill. Many witnesses were
examined, all of whom were colored ac-
quaintances of the accused.
After the examination closed the prison
ers were conducted to a shady grove by all
of the citizens present, and after mature de,
liberation it was resolved to turn them over
to the law.
The prisoners were placed in charge of a
party and started in the direction OF the
