If the reporter Of the Morning News
had called upon either Rev. L. Davi'

neighborhood of Taylor and Lombard
streets, he would not have made the
mistake he has in reporting that We
"were out riding when our horse tel
breaking shaft, &c. :,
Neither the Rev. Z. Davis or myself
were in carriage yesterday. The
facts in the case are these: As Brot her
Davis and myself We're sitting together
in my home at S15 Lombard street,
about five o'clock III the afternoon my
attention was called to a carriage going
down Taylor street, by seeing the horse
suddenly fall. We Immediately rushed
out to the ass stance of the occupants
of the carriage.
here were in the carriage a lady, a
small girl and lad who was driving;
They had been attending a tunera! and
were returning when the accident
occurred on Taylor between Lombard
and Pine. The horse was slightly hurt
and the carriage was injured no further
than the breaking of shaft. did noV
learn the names of the occupants, nor
to whom the team belonged.

Davis ON sherman.

Mr.. Jefferson Davis, In an interview
with reporter of the Indianapolis SEN
tinel, is reported to have said: "The
truth is that Sherman is vain man,
who has been ruined by success and
flattery, and is possessed of % chronic
haliucination that he is a great General.
He is really man of very mediocre tai
ents, either civil or military, and owed
his success entirely to superior numbers
and the lack of enterprise on the part
of his antagonist, who either could or
would do nothing but retreat, seeming
anxious to be called the FabiuS of the
Civil War. Had Stouewall Jackson
confronted Sherman in 1864, instead Of
Joe Johnston, different tale would
have been told in my book. That in
comparable body of infantry he led, SO
rapid Of march as to have earned the
title of foot cavalry would soon have
brought Sherman marches to an in
glorious end. His so-Called march to
the sea, so much Landed, was really
the most absurd of ilitary mannuvres
ever undertaken in all the tide of time.
1t was right in the Ceeth of all the rules
of war, and but for the fact the COnfed-
eracy was then in its death agonies,
must have resulted in the irretrievable
ruin of Sherman's whole army. That
his band of 'bummers, which was vir-
tually an organized gang of plunderers,
was not destroyed or captured was not
due to any generalship of sherman, but
to the folly of the hot-headed Hood, who,
instead OF falling back before Sherman,
went reeling Off into Tennessee like u
on the widest OF wild goose
chaseS."
