THE Sci
A a recent meeting of F4rragut Post,
9 A. r.. OF Denver. a Discussion of
Sherman's march 10 the sea came up,
and was generally participated in by the
members. One member claimed that
the ideaof the march was not conceived
by Sherman, but by Gen. Hector Tyndall
After much discussion pro and con it
was resolved 70 write to Gen. Sherman
on the subject. Sherman's answer is as
follows:
Headquarters Army OF the United States, 4
WAsHESGroN, Oct. 6, 1853
John Z. Kennedy, Post Master Farragut Post,
Denver, Colorado.
BY DEAR SIR: am just back from
my long tour, during which l had the
satisfaction 10 meet you In the beautiful
city of Denver, and find here among a
vast mass OF letters awaiting my action
yours of September 20 asking hard
question. surely have no knowledge
of the fact alluded To by you that
Gen. Hector Tyndall had proposed
to march the army lightly
equipped from the Mississippi river 70
some point on the southeastern coast
and would answer simply. why did he
not do il? / don't remember such a
| general at all, and / am ig0oFant Of the
fact that he had such an army 70 march
any time between 1892 and 1866.
have no doubs that hundreds and thou.
sands OF men thought Of such Q scheme
but the truth Is nobody did it'll va
did in 1864 and 1855. A march 20 the
sea was a fayoE1te thought in 1852, bu
nobody successfully accomplished i
till the time was ripe, till the southern
armies had been shattered by the con
stant hammerIng we gave
them during 1858 and 1884
and until we had an army 1T to do tht
work and in the right place TO star
from. All the armies which started
from the Ohio river and went south
and all that started cOastwise from III
Mississippi, were marching toward thu
sea-" and doubtless their generals, col
onels. and even privates thought thel
would reach the sea. but none OF then
did till we got to Savannah In Decem
Der, 1864. ! am glad the old soldler
feel an interest in these questions of thu
war. and any time yOu want my opinion
I will be glad to give Ii. With grea
respect, your friend.
W. T. SHERMAN.

Rlot at Canton.

San Francisco, October ia coolie
mob made 3 desperate attack on the
foreign residences and corporations of
Canton on the 18th of September. As
the steamer Hankow was leaving the
wharf a Chinaman fell into the water
and was drowned. The mob accused
the Waterman Of throwing him over
board. Unable to wroak vengeance on
the officers of the vessel. they marched
in q body to tho town and set FIRE to tho
building of Thomas Rowe, Smith 81
Co., and the residences OF W. Sanders,
imperial customs examiner; Howell,
deputy commissioner Of customs; DIR.
Wales, Of the custom house; Rev. J.
Grun6y and several others. The con-
suls, fearing the attack would become
general, hauled down their flags and
dispatched a boat to Hong Kong for
assistance, the foreigners seeking shell
ter aboard the vessels in port.
A company of Chinese military was
ordered out, but they remained impass-
i've spectators of the deprsdstions being
committed. After destroying the
buildings the mob burned the steam
launch Hsnkow, then set fire to the
wharf, and Afterwards proceeded to
burn the French cathedral, but the
French residents, who had gathered in
force, informed the mob IL they carried
out the attempt the French men-of-
war would anchor OF tho town and
open fire.
kilograms were sent to the viceroy,
who ordered 5000 troops forward to
suell the disturbance. When the mob
were informed OF this they dispersed.
Two British gunboats were SEM from
Hong Kong, but did not arrive until
the trouble was over. Three Chinese
were killed and one foreigner wounded.

torney Harris made application for an
injunction against Messrs. Moore and
Dillon, editors of the POST Dispatch, to
restrain them from publishing, using
or destroying the short hand notes of
Witnesses testimony before the last
grand jury alleged to be in their pos
session. The court refused to grant
this injunction on the constitutional
grounds that 1t has no right to inter
fere with the liberty of the press.
The Post Dispatch publishes this ev-
sning the testimony of eI-Police Com
missioner John H. MaIon and Alexan-
ander Kinkead.
Msxon swore that Governor Critten-
den intimated to him that it was either
his desire, or he ought to let up on
gamblers since it would rebound to the
qualification of eI-Lieutenant Governor
Charles P. johnson, who had procured
the passage of the law, making gam
bling a felony, and whom he regarded
as an enemy. He further swore to
Governor Crittenden's demanding
blank designations from some Of his ap-
pOintees.

Chicago, October 15.-Pacer John
ston, who paced a mile over the Chicago
track last Tuesday in 2:10. beats all
former records at trotting or pacing,
has just been SOLD to Commodore N. W.
Nittson, of st. Paul, the owner of Lit
tie Brown jug, record 2:114, next fast
est PAGER, Vonarnim, Fanny Wither-
spoon, and other trotters. The price
paid was S25 1000. Peter V. Johnston,
his driver says, is confident his horse
a go eve faster. 1t seems almost
incredible, but he asserts he has driven
Johnston a quarter in 29t seconds,
which is at the rate OF 1853 for a mile,
and half a mile In 1:03, or at the rate
of 2:06.
