brilliant woman Of Tennessee, a Courier
Journal correspondent says:
Her father, a Baptist minister near Nash
vile, was refugeed because he refused an
oath to the Federal government. With n
large family, he took shelter in tenant ca
bins near my fathers homestead, on Buffalo
River, Tennessee. He, his wife, one daugh
ter and one son, died from the effects OF
unaccustomed exposures. This girl and
two sisters secured "rustic" schools as a
means of support, one near Tennessee River.
Their only remaining brother crossed over
Tennessee River from Forests command
to see his sisters, while on q scout. He
was reported" and chased by party of
Yankees to the river, where unfortunately
gunboat cut off his retreat. He dropped
his arms into the river, and was shot and
left lying partly in the water. The Yam
KEGS then went to the school house and told
these girls their id rebel brother was
wounded, and that they could so to him,
but refused to allow any one else to GO
The girls walked the two miles through
rain and mud, and found their brother still
alive They held him in their arms all
night, dark, cold and rainy, gave him water
from shoe, and next day, us the Yankees
had gone, he was buried in rude grave
near where he fell. Will the time ever
come when we may do justice to the memory
Of our loved and lost without raising a how
of the "bloody shirt ?"

published. This private letter says that
Gen. Hancock, rather than have the dis

on blindly. as it has done, would prefer
the publication of the supposed document
in question. Hancocks friends say that
he has nothing to fear from such publica-
ton. Originally, Gen. Sherman called
upon Gen. Hancock for statement Of his
views, when there was prospect of
CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY
at Washington. Gen. Hancock complied.
Nothing, il is said, is more illustrative of
the character of the man than his absolute
silence upon the subject since the question
of the letter and its alleged contents have
been discussed. 1t was private memo
randa intrusted to Gen. Sherman, and
therefore subject absolutely to the latter's
disposal A politician in Hancock's place
might have said to the public; Il did
write such letter and would be glad to
have it printed" even if he might have q
scruple against any detailed statement of
its contents: but Gen. Hancock's sense of
honor is so keen. his observance of official
defeat in the campaign rather than say
one word upon this subject without con-
