My DEAR SIR am just back from my
long tour, during which | had the salts
faction to 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 General Hector
Iyndall had proposed to march an army,
lightly equipped, from the Mississippi
river 10 some point on the southeastern
coast, and would answer simply, Why did
he not do 1t. | don't remember such a
General at all, and | am ignorant of the
fact that he had such an army to march
any time between 1862 and 1863. | have no
doubt that hundreds and thousands of men
thought of such a scheme, but the truth
is nobody did it till we did in 1864 and
1860. \ march TO the sea was a favOrite
thought in 1862, but nobody successfully
accomplished il till the time was ripe. till
the Southern armies were shattered bv
the constant hammering we gave them
during 1868 and 1864, and until we had am
army fit to do the work and in the right
place to start from. All the armies which
started from the Ohio river and went
South, and all that started cOastwise from
the Mississippi. were marching toward
the sea- and doubtless their Generals.
COlOnels, and even privates thought they
would reach the sea, but none of them did
till we got to Savannah III December. 1864.
| am glad the old soldiers feel an interest
in these questions of the war, and any
time you want my opinion | will be glad
to give it. With great respect, your
friend. w. L. SHERMAN.

BLAINE AND GRANT.
\ New Alliance Proposed for the Sal
VatiOn of the taGrand Old PartY.D

walton of the "Grand Old Party
The following appeared editoriaIly in the
New York Graphic on the evening of the
22d: "There is a whisper that the pro-
posed reorganization of the Republican
party will be attempted, not under the
leadership of Blaine and COnkling, but
under that of Blaine and Grant. This
whisper has more of sense and substance
in it than all the rumors of a recOncilia-
ton between Blaine and COnkling and of
their joint leadership of the party put
together Blaine and Conkling are ire
concilable, and the Republican party has
had all of the management of the latter
gentleman that it desires.
''Blaine and Grant are very strong men.
The former is by all odds the most pOpu-
lar of Republicans, and his nomination
for President would command more Re-
publican enthusiasm than would that of
any other man. He is a statesman and a
good fellow. lie is man of liberal views,
and almost every man he meets becomes
his friend. He is a fine orator, and his
nomination would insure the people a
national campaign that would be alive
with dash, vigOr and ideas. Grant lacks
his magnetism, but he has the respect of
his party to an even greater extent. He
was as able and as good a President as
the country ever had and since he retired
he has grown more rapidly in popular Ie-
gard than any other man.
Nov suppose the friends of Blaine and
the friends of Grant were to unite for the
purpose of sending the former to the White
House and the latter to the United States
Senate from New York? There would be
Il combination worth talking about. Few
Republicans oppose Blaine except the
friends Of Conklng, and Conkling is in
private lite. No Republican opposes
Grant, and he certainly has the respect
of every Democrat. Place these two men
at the front and the Republican party
would take to itself new life. 1t is
rather late in the day to save it, but it can
he saved in no other way. Probably with
even this combination it would be beaten
in both the State and nation, but it would
at least make a splendid fight and 90 down
with its colOrs flying"

possible and even probable. many pain

each day one was visited, with the hope
of finding some friendly vessel. At last
one Of the islands, known as the VOL
laston, was visited by the captain, mate
and i've OF the crew, when they found
| two native families, apparently living
| in q Wretched- condition. They were
in q perfect state of barbarIsm, but nev-
ertheless treated the shipwrecked
people with the utmost kindness,
giving them what food they could.
This consisted of mussels, fish and ber-
, ries. The only particle of covering pos
sessed by the natives was the skin of a
seal. This was movable, and was placed
by the natives to cover that part of their
! bodies most exposed to the weather
The weather WAS very cold q keen wind
blowing across the island, accompanied
by sleet and snow.
The only weapon possessed by the ma
tIves was a sling. Some spare clothing
WAS distributed among the islanders
principally old trousers, which were
donned indiscriminaLely by mdn and
women. Tue backs wefo generally
placed in front, TO the amusement OF the
sailors. To trst the accuracy of the aim
with the sling, an exhibition was asked
by the mate, who erected q target.

the native, in 4 fit of rage and disap-
pOiatment, almos: tore OH his civilized
garments, aIlerward taking aim when
accoutered simply in his sealskin. On

The Flood.


ST.. LOUIS, June 81 Madison dyke,
between here and Alton, on the Illinois
side of the river, broke about O'Clock
this morning in two places, one near
Mitchell, abOnt:twelVe miles from East
st. Louis, the other further north. near
the head OF the dyke, not far from Alton.
The creVasses are not very wide yet, but
are growing rapidly and the water is
rushing through them at q fearful rate.
1t is expected the entire bottom north of
East ST. Louis, embracing so to 60
square miles, will be flooded. The
farmers are leaving their homes as rap
idly as possible, many of them going to
Alton, others to different points on the
bluffs, five or six miles back from the
river. The destruction of crops and
damage to farm properly will generally
be very great.
A special to the Post Dispatch from
Alton, Ill says the levee at Madison
broke at a quarter past this morning
| The break occurred at two places at the
same time. The pressure against the
banks, which wa the Immediate cause
of the disaster, ,;ne from the additions
| al rise in the Mis- ouri river, the mouth
of which Is dIrec iy opposite the head OF
the levee. A lspdy uf water about
twenty feet in ghI rushed through
the gaps and in few minutes fioodeIi
all the adjacent 'lottOm. The panic
among the peop..- Was very great and
! universal They Il d toward the bluffs
carrying with i':-In whatever of live
stick anu housed, Isl gen,is they could

drowned. There rs foot rise coming
down the river al this will no doubi
| augment the foods until the
water reaches the bluffs, seven
miles from the river. As it is all
over the country hetWeen Mitchell and
/ Venice, the total destruction to crops
will cause loss al hundreds of thOus-
ands of dollars. Not only are crops Fu.
| ined, but the force OF the overflow has
| torn the soil 10 pieces. and in many
places sand piles will take the place OF
fertile ground.
