CONDENSED NEWS.
Jefferson Davis VS.. Gen. W. t. Shcr@an.

The Baltimore Sun has a lpng letter
written by Jefferson Davis from Beauvoir,
| Miss, to Col. L. ). Scharff of Baltimore,
| replying to Gen. S~herman's so-called re-
mort to the war department, n which
the United States senat ordered printed
as "Ex-Doc. No. SO, FOrty-eighth congress,
second session" Davis says: "A contin-
uing sense Of the great injustice done to me
and TO the people | represented by the
senate, making the malicious assault OF
Gen. Sherman a public document, and CIV
ing to his Islander the Importance which
necessarily attaches to an executive COM
municatiOn to the senate, has recently
caused the request for a reply by me to be
pressed with very great earnestness. For
this reason | have decided to furnish my
reply TO you for publication. Mr.. Davis then
proceeds to dispute and deny the charges
brought against him by Gen. Sherman,
in which he declares that he did all in his
power to prevent the war and did not seek
the post Of chief executive. For all acts
OF my public life as president OF the Con
federate states | am responsible at the bar
Of history and mus accept her verdict,
which | shall do without the least appre-
hension that it will be swayed from truth
by the malicious falsehoods OF Gen. Sher-
man, even when stamped as ar "EX-doC,'
by the CnlteQ SldNeS SENATE. Inc
chief statement that Davis objects to is
that made by Gen. Sherman in
1884, before Blair post, G. A. r., that he
(Sherman) had a letter in Davis handwrit-
ing to the effect that Davis would turn
Lees army against any state that might
attempt to secede from the Southern con-
federacy. Davis concludes: | have, in this
vindication, not of myself only, but also
OF the people who honored mt with the
highest official position in their
gift, been compelled to group to-
gether instances Of repeated ialsehoods
deliberately spoken and written by
Gen Sherman. The Blair Post Islander OF
myself, the defamation of the character OF
Gen. Albert S.. Johnston, the disparagement
Of the military lame OF Gen. Grant, and the
shameful and corrupt charge against Gen.
Hampton. | have prepared this examina'
ton and exposure only because the senate
of the United States has given to ShermaR's
Islander an Endorsement which gives it
whatever claims it may have to public
attention. | have proved its author to be
an habitUal slanderer, and not having a
partisan senate to make a place for this
notice of a personal TRADE. which was nei-
ther an official report nor record made dur
ing the wal so as TO sntitls it to be receiv-
ed at the office OF archives submit it to
the public through the columns Of a news
