WASHINGTON, January Is, 1880.
| dy Dear Sir: | regret extremely that the stu
| alton OF affairs in Colorado and New Mexico, and
the absence OF Sheridan, renders it impossible for
me to leave my post Of duty for single day, even
for so tempting an occasion California has almost
realized the Grecian fable of AphTodite,
| the Goddess Of Love and Beauty, who came
forth perfect woman from the foam of the
sea. With her majestic harbors and cities,
with her gold glittering in the western
sunlight, her luxury and extravaganza rivaling the
Oldest cities of the EARTH with her fruits and flowers
gladdening the eye of the most refined, and with
railroads and telegraphs everywhere, California
stands forth today the envy Of mankind. No Won
der, then, that those who remember her as poor,
subJugated Mexican province when bread had to be
imported from Chill and Guaymas when tortillas &c
mas trso, and carnesa were the best TO be had
when the traveller from Monterey TO Suffers Fort
| required ten days for his journey, and had
| 10 carry his food on his horse or
| mule, slept by the roadside on his sad
die blanket, wrapped in his serapa, and swim all
the intervening rivers-no wonder I repeat that
! we, who remember these things, should assemble
! IN New York bear testimony TO the American
ergy which has worked out this grand transforms
tlon Therefore, although cannot be with you in
body, beg YOU will cousrue me as present in spirit
your friend and fellow pioneer.
W. T. SHERMAN.

There is not an officer living of the ship in which
