a.perai sherman IN the FIELD.


A frontispiece portrait of General
Sherman and an important Biographical
sketch by T. V. 5 Snalley arc timely
featdres of the January Century. OF
his habits in the field, the writer says:
"Sherman's habits during his cam
paigns were of the simplest. lie rose
early in the morning, and was up late
ut night. In the face of the enemy, five
hours sleep sufliced him. Before the
rcveille sounded, he was often in the
saddle and out on the most exposed
parts of his line The orders were al
ways to arouse him at any hour Of the
night, il reports came in. During the
Atlanta campaign he set the example
to lis troops OF discarding tents and
reducing baggage to minimum
There was but one tent attached TO his
headquarters, and that was used 10y
his acknowledgement and his clerks
With his staff he slept on the grolnd
under tent fly, which was stretched
at night over n pole resting In the
crotches of some convenient saphngs
IL used to be said that his head-quar-
ters were in Il candle-boX, because one
or two small boxes, cmptied of the
candles they originally had contained,
served TO transport his papers. The
soldiers called him Old Tecums' and
Uncle Billy, the latter nickname COM
ing into general use in the army dur
ing the March TO the Sea- At his
headquarters single sentry stood
guard but nobody, whether officer or
private soldier, who wanted to speak to
II (Nnnnrnl or L. ,t,,,., So,
had cordial and encouraging word tor
the soldiers when he rode along the
lines in front of the enemy or passed n
marching column. For the details of
M litary etiquette and ceremony he
cared nothing; but for steadiness in ac-
ton and endurance in hard marching
no had quick eye and ready word
Ot praise. He was usually cOmmuni-
cative and outspoken, unless his plans
demanded secrecy. Sometimes his
frankness deceived the enemy more
than concealment would have done.
After he captured Savannah, he sent a
flag of truce boat to Charleston and
gave permission TO go upon it TO the
families of confederate officers who
wished TO get inside the confederate
lines. Among the applicants for passes
was the wife of u confederate surgeon,
who told the General she wanted 10 90
to Columbia, South Carolina, to JON
her husband. Don't 90 to Columbia.
madam exclaimed Sherman. Il shall
be there myself in few days with my
whole army. You are at liberty TO tell
that to your rebel friends in Charleston
The lady made haste to communicate
this information to the confederate
commanders in Charleston as soon as
she arrived; but all agreed that, il
Sherman actually meant to mach to
Columbia. he would never have said
so. His advance reached Columbia a
day after the surgeons wife arrived. -

Recruits Welcome.
NJ. Val. Td..I,n,a

This is about the first campaign we have ever
seen in which any one thought it undesirable
for the Republican party to gain votes. Sup
pose, for instance, that the. Republicans Of 1856
had resisted the entrance of sturdy Free-Sol
Democrats like Cassius NJ. Clay or Francis P.
Blair, because they came from Slave States. Or
suppose that in 1864 the aid of Logan and Butler
had been rejected, because they had once been
intensely pro- slavery. Or suppose that in 1880
the party had stationed tall policemen at its gates
to drive away every workingman who wanted to
support the policy of protection, but who had un-
fortunately voted for Democratic candidates be-
fore.
Any party that is managed after that fashion
,-iu 90 to the dogs before long, The business of
q political party is to gain recruits if it 1t
has little chance of carrying elections unless it
can muster in recruits, for the physical and the
intellectual deaths are sure to thin the ranks of
any party in power. If party cannot convince
somebody of the justice of its cause, and so win
his vote, it ought to 60 into bankruptcy. The
Republican party is gaining the support of a
great many workingmen, and, the Pharisees say,
these recruits ought to be instantly rejected on
the pretext that they are socialists. 1t happens
that they are not but if they were, who can
prevent them if they prefer Republican to a
Democratic ticket.
We shall have to make room in the Republ-
can camp for great many recruits this year.
Most of them will be just as valuable members as
the sturdy heroes who came from Democracy to
suppress the rebellion and save the Union. And
they will be as wecome-to everybody except
the deserters.
