Proposed Reunion Of Federal and Con-
federate soldiers at salisbury, n. c.
Gen. SheFman's Open Letter.

| Gen. bheFmans open Letter.
CINCINNATI, o., September 18.-A spec
ial to the Enquirer from Salisbury, N. O..
says A grand reunion Of the survivors
Of the Confederate and Federal armies has
been arranged to take place here on the
Sd Of October. Invitations have been sent
TO both armies. Lieutenant.G General sheri.
dan politely declined on account ot a
pressing business engagement. He ex.
pressed his hope OF the success OF the
movement. Gen. W. T. Sherman wrote q
letter which has created no little excite.
ment The letter Is as follows:
The time is too remote for me 10 make a
promise, but ] assure you that 1t would be
most agreeable 10 me personally and 90.
cially 70 meet you on any suitable oeca.
sion. There is no use In my minCinR
terms. Whenever and wherever the hon
est men Of North Carolina seek 10 allay
sectional and party ,animosities, and TO
cultivate feelings Of iraternal respect for
their tellow.citizens Of the United States,
1t will be 10 me most tempting to come
to Salisbury. Iwould far prefer to come
alone than as before, with vast army,
leaving desolation behind. But I must
not be construed as asserting 10
the proposition that Coniederates and
Union men were alike worthy OF
celebration for the terrible history
Of 1s6l.65. 1would much prefer TO come
on some civic occasion, when all are
absolutely equal, all alike interested In
the present and future glory Of our
common country. There were a few
Union soldiers Ia North Carolina during
the war, though we believe the people
generally were opposed TO secession, and
will say that your meetings II confined to
the surviving soldiers Of North Carolina,
will be In fact o confederate reunion,
where ! would certainly be out Of place.
All soldiers in their social reunions
glorify in their deeds Of heroism and this
reunion will hardly be an exception, and
Y would be a strange sight for General
Sherman TO cheer to the victories Of his
enemies and respond to the claim, that be.
cause the soldiers OF North Carolina
were brave and true to their
State, their cause was as sacred as ours,
which finally triuIpphed and made our
Union more glorious than before. Were
natural feeling, t would feel myself an in in.
truder, marring the natural happiness OF
q festive, occasion. Iknow that the sol |
der element was the arst to lay aside
angry partisan 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 the COM
mon ground Of North Carolina to celebrate
some revolutionary event, or TO encourage
some modern enterprise, it will give me
great pleasure TO come to Salisbury, to
Raleigh, to Guilford Court House, or anv
other place in the old North State"

THE "THUNDERER" on THE AFGHAN
TROUBLEg,

LONDON, September 1e..The Times, in q
leading editorial article, says: It Is not
the policy to surrender and withdraw from
Afghanistan, that Is now really formida-
BILE settlement, on which the Nation was
last year agreed, but tits rather move
ment for annexation and adventure, which
is to be dreaded and resisted, and which
Is being deliberately advocated by some
who opposed last years campaign. It Is
simply waste OF time TO speculate on the
significance Of certain wordy vaporines In
Russian newspapers, and the assertions
are certainly not to be accepted without
proof concerning Russian instigation in
the massacre.

Both murderer and victim were negroes,

was made 10 secure Communication OF the
sentence to life imprisonment, but It met
with little sympathy, as familiarity with
