The Late General SuIly.

Under the above heading Major
John Hamilton, lst Artillery, writes
to the A'my and Macy JoarnaI as
follows:
Some articles on the death of Gen.
Sully bring up "reminiscences that |
state partly i'll correction. If | re
member Alright, Sully was married in
Monterey, Cal, in 1850, when IL lieu
tenant and regimental quartermaster
ID Infantry, to Dona Manucla Ximeno.
His wife was Il daughter to the Dona
Augustias De La Guerra Norriega,
spoken of by Gen. Sherman in his
"Memoirs," and whose wedding in
Santa Barbara to her husband Manuel
Nimeno is described by Dana in his
"Three Years Before the Mast Both
mother and daughter were beautiful
and brilliant women.
Sully's marriage was rather roman
tic; it was a-a-what shall | call it,
a-well, runnahweigh. Dona Au-
gustias was muy catolica, Sally, II
Protestant. With many misgivings
she gave partial consent to the cere-
mony, on which VIM. II. Chevers,
Esq. late of San Francisco, and son
of Chaplain Chevers of Fort Monroe
was dispatched to San Francisco and
procured a dispensation from Bishop
Alemany. Upon Chevers' return
Dona Augustus opposition broke out
aflesh from some new cause and she
refused her permission absolutely.
Under these circumstances Sully's
friends thought a littIt fnesse admis-
sible. Manuelita was invited to the
house of one of Sullys friends, and
being called out of the pallor from the
side of her escort for moment by her
hostess, they stepped across the hall to
the dining-room, and she was there
married to Sully by the Post Chap
lain, the Rev. Father Ramirez. Those
present were the late Gen. II. s. Bur
ton, Capt. +. X. Kane, A. Q. NJ,
Gen. Frederick Steele, then Adjutant
I'd Infantry, Sully's clerk, W. IL.
Chevers, Esq, Il couple OF ladies', Oil

became Icconciled to the principals,
but never to the seconds, (small blame
to her.) Poor, lovely, unfortunate

grandmother, died few days after
Sully was terribly overcome by it. 1t
Frustrated him.
These "reminiscences bring up many
others. Old Padre Ramirez, if YOU be
alive, may your shadow never be less
if dead, may your halo shine among
the brightest. What bonhommie, what
good fellowship, what wit, what spark

heretics, what loyalty to your Church

Under the above caption the jack
sonville Sentinel has the following:
Last Saturday there came to this
place an individual whose history
would adorn the pages of the most
thrilling romance. His name is
George Sylvester, and his parents
reside at the Dalles, whittier they re-
moved from Albany, Lynn county,
several years ago. The family crossed
the plains to California in 1851,
George being baby at the time,
aged about four years. While camped
at the sink of the Humboldt river,
George was stolen by the Piute In
dians. His mother became frantic
with grief at the loss of her child and
would not leave the place where he
was lost until the river was dragged
for miles and the country secured by
sympathizing friends for her lost dar-
ling. The search was in vain and the
grief stricken parents were compelled
to proceed on their journey with no
tidings ofthe fate of their missing child.
They arrived in California, but be-
coming dissatisfied with the country,
they came to Oregon and located in
Albany. The mother, with that love
and faith which surpasses human un-
derstanding and triumphs erdeath,
never despaired of again meeting her
boy. No argument could convince
her that he was drowned. Her hope
could not be stihed that her child
would, some day, be restored to her.
Years sped on. Other children were
born to her and loved and reared
with all intensity of paternal affec-
ton, but the lost child was not for
gotten, nor was her faith weakened
that he still lived. Fifteen years
passed and were recorded on the
tomb of buried time. Still that
mother, waited, watched and prayed.
The Sioux Indians became hostile,
and detachment of soldiers under
Colonel King went after them. An
engagement took place in the then
| vi ANtDiuSHd III WilltH lilt
Indians were routed and many killed
and made prisoners. Among the lat
ter white boy was found, but he had
no knowledge of his race and talked
only the language of the tribes of
Indians with whom he had been
raised. He was taken to lndcpen-
dence, Missouri, and the telegraph
announced the fact throughout the
country. a brother of Omar Syl-
vester, the father of the boy, who re-
sided in Quincy, Illinois, proceeded
at once to see him, and, from de-
scription which he had of the lost child
knew him to be the same. Telegrams
were sent to hisparents at Albany and
George was soon sent home to his moth
er. Buthe could not be induced tore
main. Civilization was too tame for
the tastehe had acquired during his
captivityand he soon returnedto the
East and entered the Government
service in the capacity of interpreter
with theCheyennes, Sioux and other
trbeswhose language he talks tluently.
He was with Crook, Custer, Reno and
other officers sent against these In
dans.
