SENATOR VANCE IN PRINT.
Not the Rebel Brfgadier Referred tC hV SInArrnnnn

Not the Rebel Brfgadier Referred to by Sherman.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The following let ter is printed in to-day's Post
 To the Editor of the Post:
 As several newspaper reporters have inter- rogated me with reference to the letter men, tioned by General Sherman as having been written by President Davis to a southern senator threatening the coercion of any State that would attempt to leave the confederacy and as all of the reports of my. replies, that of your reporter especially, were more or less inaccurate, I have thought it best to speak for myself. Every letter ever written to me on political topic by President Davis is to be found faithfully copied on the off ciaI letter books of the executive depart ment of North Carolina Those letter books were taken from me by General Sherman's troops at the close of the war and are now in possession of the War department in this city. Aside from the letter books General Sherman never saw any letter addressed to me by President Davis. Although I have not seen those books and read their contents in almost twensg years, quite sure that no such letter can be found there. I could not have forgotten such letter had it been received by me. The suggestion. therefore, that am the person referred to in General Sherman's statement is entirely untrue. The attempt of some newspapers to give probability to this suggestion by alleging that I was in bit ter hostility whilst Governor of North Caro- lima to the administration of MT. Davis is based also upon 8 misrepresentation of the facts. It is well known by those acquainted with the history of those times that my difference with MT. Davis was pure ly in regard to matters of detail and that I supported him in his efforts to maintain the confederacy with all the zeal that could command and all the power of the State which could bring to bear. This MT. Davis letters all show. As to the letter of mine to MT. Davis of the 25th of October, 1862, the New York Tribune correspondent says no copy of any reply can be found and suggests that probably the statement to which General Sherman refers is contained in it. Certainly no effort was made to find that let ter. It is upon the latter book dated Noven- Der 1, 1862. It has been widely published and contains no such expression as threat against attempting to secede from the con federaey, but does contain this expression: fFI feel grateful to you for the cordial manner tion connected with the public defense" i I send you herewith a printed copy of that letter. This much is due to truth. I do not wish to pose as a martyr to the cir cumstaRces of those times or of one ready to turn upon his associates after defeat. I de- sire to take my full share of responsibility for everything did and said during those unhappy times. Great as were the abilities and high were the courage and faithfulness of Mr. Davis, have no disposition to load him with all the misfortunes of defeat.
 Respectfully yours, R. B. VANCE.
