Confederate SOldiers' ReuniOn--Bits OF
Wisdom, Patriotism and Sherman Eccen-
tricity.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 16.-An Enquirer special
from Salisbury, N. O., says grand reunion of
the survivors of the federal and confederate
armies has been arranged to take place here on
the third of October. Invitations were sent
to both armies Gen. Sheridan politely re-
fused on account of pressing business engage
ments. he expressed his hope of the success
of the movement. Gen. W. T. Sherman wrote
letter which has created no little excitement.
The letter is as follows: 1.-THE time is too re-
mote for me to make promise, but I assure
you that it would be most agreeable person.
ally and socially to meet you on any suitable
occasion. There is use in my mincing
terms. Whenever and wherever the honest
men of North Carolina seek to allay
to cultivate feelings of fraternsl
respect for their fellow citizens of the United
States, it will be to me most tempting to come
to Salisbury. would far prefer to come alone
than as before, with a vast army leaving desc.
lation behind, but am not to be construed as
consenting to the proposition that confederates
and union men were alike worthy of celebrat-
ing the terrible history of 1861 Is. I would
much prefer to come on some civic occasion,
Wuou Ill arc absolutely equa1 Ill 8uko 1uCcr-
ested in the present and future glory of our
common country. There were few union SOL
diers in North Carolina during the war, though
we believe the people generally were opposed
to secession. and will say that their meeting,
if confined to the surviving soldiers of North
Carolina, will be in fact federate reunion,
where would certainly be out of place. Ali
soldiers in their social realm gIorify
their deeds of heroism, and this reunion
will hardly be an exception, and it would
be strange sight for General Sherman to
cheer the victories of his enemies and respond
to the claim that because the soldiers of North
Carolina were bravo and true to their State
and section, their cause was as sacred as ours
which finally triumphed, and made our Union
more glorious and more Respondent than be-
fore. We're present and you should suppress
this natural feeling. would feel myself an
intruder, marring the natural happiness of the
festive occasion. know that the soldier ele-
ment was the first to lay aside the angry par
tisan feelings of the war, and are now leaders
in the new epoch which is sure to add wealth
and prosperity to our whole country; and
when some occasion arises when we may all
meet on common ground in North Carolina to
celebrate some revolutionary event or encour-
ago some modern enterprise, it will give me
great pleasure to come to Salisbury, to Raleigh,
to Guilford Court House, or any other place in
the old North State.

The Withdrawal of Thomas G. II. Ecczesin .
The following letters are published in the
New York papers:
Hon. Henry L. Clinton, Chairman of the Gen.
eral Committee on Tammany Hall.
SIR: On my return from the Democratic
convention. which met at Wieting Hall, at
Syracuse, on the 10th inst, pursuant to the
| call of the State Central committee, hasten
| to tender my resignation from the general
committee and the committee of organization
| of Tammanny Hall
For the following reasons:
Ipropose now, a. have ever, to support the
| regular Democratic sicket at the coming cleo
| tion. I have hitherto, in many instances, fol-
| lowed the lead of Mr.. John Kelly, even when
| that leadership led to disaster. I respectfully
decline to follow it when it can only lead to
| dishOnOr.
| While Tammany was faithful to Democratic
traditions and the properly constituted State
| authority, she received my support.
do not propose to swell the train of Cor
| nelrs following and march q captive into the
Republican camp. Mr.. Kelly's declaration that
he does not anticipate election, but merely
| hopes to defeat the regular candidate of the
Democracy, leaves no other course open to me
but the one now take.
If he attains the glory of defeating the Dem
| ocratic ticket, it is glory in which have no
ambition to share. If, as believe, his effort
will end, as it ought to end, in ridiculous fail
| ure, do not desire to deprive him of one title
of that glory either.
His effort can only end in dishonor or ridi-
Guile. I have no desire to be impaled on either
horn of that dilemma.
| did not follow him in his desertion of Rob
inson at Syracuse. lido not propose to follow
him in his support of Cornell in New York.
In severing my connection with Tammany
allow me to thank the many kind personal
friends that I leave behind me for their former
kindness to me, and to express tho hope that
we may be again united under better auspices
in brighter days to come. Very respectfully.
THos. @. E. ECCLEs1NE.

DEAR SIR: fully appreciate the high char

Whenever the policy of my party fails to salts
which suits me better but while Iremain in i

not consent to occupy position from which
any portion Of the Democracy might infer tn
contrary; and as many do not understand tn
difference between the Tammany society an,

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.
EuROpE's DANGER.

The Times says the extraordinary contro-
misunderstanding between Gorschakoff and
Bismarck shows what dangerous stuff is all
around us. A ring of interested spectators
in collision seems to have half persuaded the
illustrious statesmen, the greatness of one
mighty empire is ncompatible with the great
ness of the other. For the Russian and Ger
man nations at present the difficulty appears to
be to manufacture reasons for flying at each
Others throats. Their interests are in no re-
spect opposed. Neither own territory coveted
by the other. We believe much of this four
ishing of swords will be found to be merely the
exercise of fencing schools, but it is time the
masters came forward and reassure mistrust-
ful Europe.
