GENERAL sHERMANs LETTER.

General SHERMAN, who upon most pub
lie questions is highly conservative, has
been brought TO confront one subject in
which his conservatism takes rather stall
wart form. This relates to distinction be-
tween the blue and gray which distin-
guished the contending forces when the
Union soldier who was periling his life to save
the Nation met the gray uniformed rebel
and traitor in battle array. General SHER-
MAN has recently been reminded Of this dis
tinctioD, though it is evident he has never
forgotten it, by the receipt of an invitation
to attend u meeting at Salisbury n. c., Of
the survivors of the Federal and Confed-
crate armies" He promptly declined the
invitation in letter, which must have con-
vinced those who may have fancied that he
would feel himself honored by such a
courtesy that he has not forgotten the
| pent-up hell at Salisbury in which Union
soldiers were starved and tortured during
the Southern attempt to destroy tho Re-
public, and could not consent to honor the
locality and occasion with his presence
He promptly declined the invitation in a
letter which conveys the unmistakable i'm
preston that while he desires reconciliation
and fraternity between the two sections of
our common country, he is not prepared to
admit by word or act that the rebel soldiers
were engaged in defending and sustaining
n cause which he can now. honor by his
presence. His letteris manly and courteous,
and may be studied with profit by those
sentimental gushers whonre ready TO shake
hands across the bloody chasm and cas-
into oblivion recollection of what it cos
in life and treasure to save this Nation from
a cruel and bloody rebellion to take its life

THE willful exoggerations of tho average
Democratic editor when he writes of the
war are always aud naturally directed to
the purpose of vlifying some prominent
Union general Thus the Democratic organ,
alluding to General GRANTS rebellion SER
vices yesterday, remarked as follows:
We do not expect any mention TO be made
of the thousands Of bravo men slain in
GRANTS experiments in tho Wilderness, at
Cold Harbor, and at a hundred other places
where he sent infantry columns to certain de-
structon in hopeless front assaults on well.
planned, well-constructed and well-manned
lines of oarthworks.
Perhaps it would have been the Demo-
cratic way of conquering the rebellion-it
was MCCLBLLAN's way--to sit down Tin the
wilderness, at Cold Harbor, and at hum
'dred other Places and wait for those won
derlul rebel earthworks to come into camp
and surrender of their own accord. But we
defy any one to enumerate those hundreds
of other places, or even one hundred Of
them. If it had been necessary GRANT
would certainly have charged not only
hundreds, but thousands of these we'll
|
and he did only what was really necessary.
The people had grown weary and heart
sick with loyal yearning for victory, and it
would have been crime TO have continued
the do-nothing policy any longer; would
have been wasteful extravaganza of the
public resources, and would have finally
ended in disaster. But GRANT came East
and began to make war in earnest-so ear
nest that the rebellion was conquered in
less than years time, and blood ceased tC
flow, taxes began to decrease and the Ma
ton ono more stood erect, strong in the
evidence of its own perpetuity. The reel
tai of these truths will never make Gen
eral GRANT unpopular, save with those to
whose disoyal ears they are distasteful

where the Government has repositories of

resides in the ability of the Government to
sustain resumption; and wherever and
whenever the Secretary finds that the Gov

deeming its legal tenders, it is but the part
of duty for him enlarge the area of redemp-
