Gen. Grant In February Century.
During the whole Of the first day | was
continuously engaged in passing from one
part of the field to another, giving direc-
tons to division commanders. In thus
moving along the line, however, l never
deemed it important to stay long with
Sherman. Although his troops were then
under fire for the first time, their com
mander, by his constant presence with
them. inspired a confidence in officers and
men that enabled them to render services
on that bloody battlefield worthy OF the
best veterans. McClernand was next to
Sherman, and the hardest fighting was in
front of these two divisions. McClernand
told me himself on that day, the 9th, that
he profted much by having so able a
commander supporting him. A casualty
to Sherman that would have taken him
from the field that day would have been a
sad one for the troops engaged at Shiloh.
And how near we came to this On the
9th Sherman was shot twice, once in the
hand, once in the shoulder. the ball cut
ting his coat and making a slight wound.
and a third ball passed through his hat.
In addition to this he had several horses
shot during the day.

Cotton Fires.

Editdr .HOrRiHG NelcS: Some days ago
Mr.. Richardson, of the firm OF Richard
son Il Barnard, informed me that bale
of cotton was being discharged in Boston
from the steamship City of Macon and
the iron tie, probably the buckle, struck
on a spike on the gangway. The contact
produced sparks, which ignited the cotton
in the bale, and it was run at once into
the snow and there eXtinguished. This
presents another solution of the frequent
fires, not only in vessels but in cars and
warehouses. In the first named the
attrtion of cargo working in
vessel may produce combustion
from the iron striking iron, or in striking
cotton down into the hold, or screwing it
tightly, sparks may be emitted with the
same result. In cars, the shaking may
cause friction and const quent ignition,
and in dumping cotton off them on others
already unlOaded, or even on spike in
the planking, fire may occur. The same
obtains in warehouses where cotton is be-
ing handled, thrown down from piles. or
discharged from drays. This origin of
fires in cotton has been mOoted before,
but has not been considered Of co =
sequence, and other causes, such as
parior matches and sparks from engines,
have been given more prominence. Now
here we have a case in point from thor
oughly reliable source. Those of US who
can remember the old ropes must also
concede that there were then fires as there
will be in all eXtra-haZardous substances,
such as cotton, wool, etc, but that they
were not so prevalent or destructive as
now is q fact. There is doubtless some
safety in iron bands, but the experience
of MessIs. Stubs Il Co.'s warehouse fire
here and others elsewhere do not place
them far ahead of the ''Old rope" if
at all. The salvage in cotton fires for
the last five years has been lamentably
small, and it is now question whether
ropes or iron bands are the better prOtec-
ton for bale of cotton.
The subject invites argument, being a
matter of vast Importance in view OF the
suffering insurance corporations and the
high rates they are now compelled to
charge on our great staple.
