Army of the Cumberland Of Washington, Nov.
90, Gen. Sherman read letters from Mrs. E. B.
Anderson and her daughter, Eva, denying
charges of disioyality against Gov. Robert
Anderson and asking the society to take some
action on the matter. Gen. Sherman then
offered the following resolution and 1t was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved: That the heartfelt sympathy of
the Society of the Army of the Cumberland is
hereby rendered to the widow and daughter
of the first commander of the Army of the
Cumberland; that the society will ever bear
in honorable memory his pure and noble
character and his heroi; devotion to his
country, and that they ever regret his health
in 1861 prevented him from reaping the fruits
of his valor and courage il the cause of the
Union, and it will ever be remembered that
the Army of the Cumberland owes great
debt for the leadership Of Ieu. Anderson, and
that nothing but poverty prevents them from
erecting suitable testimonial over his hon.
ored grave at West Point Gen. JEFF. G. Davis
paid tribute to the patriotism and loyalty OF
Gen. Anderson. Nobody who had ever seen
that soldier at Fort Sumter wonld question
his loyalty. Columbia made no mistake
when she had sent down Robert Anderson
ITO let slip the dogs of war;" (Cheers)

The Mark Lane RGp,ess of Nov. 10
says: Except in few cases the harvest is now
| secured in England. In the Scotch uplandl
cereal crops are still being harvested, mostly
in an unripe state. The Scotch harvest, how
| ever, viii probably be terminated in q weel
or ten days. The farmers generally avail
| themselves of the favorable weather for field
/ operations. The recent uncontradicted est
mate of this years crop shows that 1t viii
be necessary to import 18000,OO(
quarters Of foreign wheat Doubtless
with every allowance for possible exag
gerations the crop is desperately bad
The Mark Lane and country markets havt
! been dull with liberal arrivals from abroad
Prices have fallen shilling for all descrip
tons of wheat. There was not much pressur,
tV sell, but the enormous visible supply il

extent of the surplus available for export
thence caused pretty general abstention o
buyers. Until something more definite Il
known trade must feel Its way cautiously. II
