The Sherman and Davis Controversy.

To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette::
I respectfully request that public opinion
may be suspended Until certain tacts can be
prepared and certain letter written by
General Sherman in 1860 can be obtained.
The letter, think, will cause Gen. Sher-
man to regret the wanton and unprovoked
attack made on a gentleman, now in
private life. 1t will startle some Of the
Generals Northern loyal friends. All that
can at present be said of said letter
is that it was written in 1860; that it was
carefully preserved, and wasrin 1868 placed
in the hands of your present correspondent,
and by him commented on in the Richmond
papers, and then handed back to the gen
tleman to whom it was originally addressed.
I have some reason to hope and think it can
be obtained, and if so, General Sherman
and the public shall have the benefit Of it's
publication about the middle of January. If
not found, then the facts connected with it
will be given, so as to leave no doubt of its
having been written. Other "reminiscences,
never before published, will be given if
space is afforded me in the GAZETTE.

A PERILoUs Position. About 2 o'clock
Sunday morning week a special train was
sent out from Cranbury, n. c., over the
East Tennessee and Western North Caro-
line railroad in the direction of Johnson
City, Tenn. As train approached trestle
ninety-seven feet high, near the State line,
four men happened to be crossing it. The
night was very dark. and they were startled
by the noise of the train, and knew at once
that they could not pass over in time to
escape. In an instant they let themselves
do wn between The ties, and it is supposed
the engine passed without doing them in
Jury. One of the men, by the name Of
Winters, made a fatal mistake in raising
his head too early, or may have drawn him
self up to keep from falling. His head was
struck by the tender hsake.beam and torn
from bis body. The men were ninety feet
from the end of the trestle. After the train
passed the three survivors found the re-
mains of their companion and dragged him
the balance Of the way across the trestle
Neither engineer nor fireman saw the men
or trestle or knew anything of what had
happened till next morning.

FROM WARRINGTON.

Especial Correspondence Of tho Alexandria 9aEettel
WARRINGTON. D. G.. Dec. 80. 1884.
Mr.. Cleyeland's civil service letter is the
principal subject of conversation here to.
day among the few congressman at the
Capitol rs we'll as in the Government de-.
partments. Tho prevailing opinion among
those democratic Congressman who express
the real feelings Of the vast majority of their
party Is that the letter is too conservative !;
but others say it goes far enough, and that
In accordance with its terms every federal
0ficeholder in the entire South can be re-
moved Immediately after the 4th of March,
Irrespective of the term for which he may
have been appointed, as there is hardly q
single one of them who has not prostituted
his Office to the service of his party. The
republicans in the Government departments
here seem to be we'll pleased with the
letter, as in it they think they see grounds
for hoping for q longer feed at the public
crib.
The recent decision of the Treasury De
partment favorable to the whiskey disLillers
is the subject of no little comment among
all classes Of people here who take interest
in public affairs. The general tenor cfthis
comment is adverse, for the reason that as
the statutes with regard to the imposition
and collection of the internal revenue tax
on whiskey have not been repealed, they
should be executed, and that the laws Of
the country should not be set aside for the
benefit of the distillers any more than for
that of any other class of people.
