Gen. Sherman and His Aids.

COILS. ToURTELoTTE AND BACON DENY PUB
LISHED STORY.
1t is reported that the law which allows General
Sherman full pay after his retirement will also
permit OF his having one or more aids, and that
General Sherman intends to retain upon his stan
ColOnels Tourte!otte and Bacon to assist him in
the work which Will necessarily devolve upon him
for number OF years after his retirement.
A STAR reporter asked Col. TourtelOtte about the
matter and he replied: general Sherman has no
such intention that am aware of. The story arose
probably from the fact that both Colonel Bacon
and myself Will without doubt go to St Louis with
General Sherman when he leaves Washington in
November or early In December, and will remain
with him until the Sth OF February, when he re-
tires We Will be upon his staff until that date OF
course, but Immediately afterwards we expect to
join our respective regiments. 1 have no doubt
continued Col. Tourte!otte, sthat General Sher-
man will need some assistance in performing
numerous duties that will be required, which
will. OF course. gradually decrease with years. but
neither OF us have any idea OF being detailed for
that purpose. AS / said, will join our regi-
ments as soon as General Sherman is placed upon
the retired list"
Col Bacon, who was present, confirmed the
statement made by Col Tourtelotte regarding
the matter.

The Railroad War I'm the West.


ST. Louis. Sept 6.-The only new feature in the
railroad war Is report current last night that the
Ohio and Missl l,sippi company has restored, or
VIII to-day restore, the Chattanooga rate TO $455.
This Is regarded as showing disposition on the
part OF the Ohio and Mississippi to Withdraw its
opposition to the Louisville and Nashville road,
leaving the fight to proceed between the Ohio and
Mississippi and the Air line 1t Is also thought 10y
some to be preliminary step 10 negotiations
which will end the War. The Ohio ami MisSIs-
Spp and the Air line continued the dollar rate to
Louisville yesterday, buI t Ie OliO AMI MiSSiS-
slpp1 still ch. rged $50 TO Cincinnati.
Several efforts have been In Ide to obtain an px-
PLANTATION or this war, but statements differ so
much 1T is difficult to determine what the facts
are. The most plausible reason seems to be that
the Air line on August ,t, TN Fl S. trip rate to
Louisville, and $40 round trip rate during the
holding OF the exposition in that city. The
straight rate Of S was objected TO by the Ohio
and Mississippi, and the latter road was ch arged
with allowing commissions on Louisville tickets.
This led to cuts on both sides. The OHIO and Mis-
SisSipp1 then announced a $3.50 rate TO Chatta-
nOoga and $l75 to Evansville. This interf le 1
with the Louisville and Nashville interests. and in
retaliation that road made 1t 81 so from Gin
cinnau to ST. Louis, and the Air line dropped
down to 81. between Louisville and ST. Louis.
The Ohio and MiSsissipp: met the latter cut, but
maintained a S.. so rate TO Cincinnati II WAS pre-
dcted last night that the war would be over be-
fore the end or the week.
