"The campaign in the spring before we
captured Atlanta" he continued, "was a
very hard one, our. boys fighting eighty

Sullivan Speaks.

LONDON, Aug. llO.-T. D. Sullivan,
member of parliament for Dublin, at a
meeting Of the National League held here
to day, made a speech, in which he main
tanned that until the tenants in Ireland
had sufficient food and clothing for them
selves and families, their landlords could
have no just claim to rent. Sullivan
counselled the Irish people to act accord
ing to the plan Of self preservation,
which he reminded them was the first law
OF nature. The Belfast riot, he argued,
was based upon preiudices and feelings
that had grown up under the encouraging
influence Of foreign misrule, and was
of a nature utterly at variance with the
wishes of the real Irish people.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. l0-A letter
hitherto unpublished, written by Gen.
George Il. Meade. commander of the
army of the Potomac, i'll relation to his
victory at Gettysburg, and which, with
comments by Col. Benedict, of Burling
ton, Vt, will be published in the Phila-
delphia Weekly Press series OF war articles
to morrow, is a most important chapter in
the controversy concerning Gen Sickles'
conduct in battle, carried on in that jour.
nal by Gen. Lafayette McLaws, Gen
Sickles and Col Biddle. OF Meade's staff.
Gen. Meade's letter holds Gen. Sickles
responsible for Gripping the army OF che
Potomac. gives entirely new evidence of
Gen. Ewell (confederatc) in support Of
the wisdom vi the sometimes misconstrued
Pipe creek order, and explains why Gen
Butterfeld. Gen. Hookcr's chief Of staff,
happened to be retained temporarily by
Gen Meade. This was because, accord
ing to the letter, Gen. Meade did not
desire TO withdraw ten Humphreys from
the Sd corps. OF which he was the main
stay. Gems. Williams and Warren were
asked to act temporarily, but declined.
Under these circumstances Meade said he
asked Gen. Butterfeld to remain till per
manent ARRANGEMENTS we're made. A few
days later Gen. Buttcrield was struck
with a fragment of a spent shell in the
arm. A few days later Gen. Humphreys
accepted the invitation. The letter says.
My defense against the charges and in
situations of Generals Sickles and Butter

large leopard by pack ofwild dogs.
Whether OR not the dogs had set out
with the intention of capturing the
leopard, he could not tell. He saw
them start up the great cat in a low
jungle. The leopard made no effort
at first to fight off its assailnts; but.
with a series of prodigions springs,
sought shelter in the only refuge the
plan afforded "a tree which had
partially fallen,
There the hunted beast stood,
snarling and growing in a manner
that would have frightened off anv
ordinary foe. Thesavage dogs, how.
ever, never hesitated moment. but
with agile leaps ran up the sloping
trunk, and gave instant battle tn
their furious game, One after an
other, the dogs were hurled back
each stroke of the terrible paw max.
ing one foe the less. Yet they con.
tinued to throw themselves against
the enraged creature, nntil, wearied
