The question "Why did not Gen. Sherman

nah" when he made his greet march through
Georgia has been SO often asked and commented
upon, aud without satisfactory solution, nat

Gently wrote Gen. Sherman on the subject and
now prints the Generals reply, as follows:
My DKAR SIR; i am just back from a visit to
my daughter. who resides at Rosemont. near Phil
adelphia, and find your letter of the 18th.
The march TO tho sea- from Atlanta was ro-
solved upon after Hood got well his way TO

force sufficient TO whip Hood, which he in Deem
ber 1864 very handsomely and conclusively did.

Then starting northward, the same problem pre-
scented itself at Augusta and Charleston. l figured

drive out the garrisons ahead of me at the crossings

Sam cent.
The truth Is, these incidents come back to me In
a humorous vein. OF course the civil should
have ended with Vieksburg and Gettysburg. Every
sensible man earth must have then seen there

PULL TOGETHER.

Nothing is 30 important 10 the interests of
the veterans, in view Of the early assembling
of Congress- AZ unanimity ofaction. An army
of stragglers never won battle. Many
beneicent measures have failed undoubtedly
siMply because advocates Of some par
ticular measure preferred to see everything
else fail unless they could get precisely what
they wanted. The multiplicity of measures
brought forward has repeatedly wearied the
patience of Congress, and chilled the ardor
Of the best friends Of the soldiers. We have
never ceased to urge upon the veterans the
absolute necessity of uniting their forces
upon that which at the time was most
likely to meet with success. We some
times have appeared to be at variance with
some Of our friends on this account but
have always advocated what our Judgment
dictated was most feasible of the MANY
benificent measures proposed.
Legislation for the soldier always has been
procured piece at time. Sometimes, in
deed, it has been scarcely half loaf. We
have maintained, however, that even the
short half a loaf was better than nothing.
and, having secured it, we have advanced
again to the attack with renewed vigor.

THE Imperial Conference has resulted
disastrously TO the Pope's dream of recover
ing his temporal power. Acting in the
interest of Italy, Bismarck has succeeded in
detaching from the Pope his most powerful
friend, the Emperor of Austro- Hungary, and
the great alliance will bring pressure to bear
upon Spain to force her to inform the Pope
that he cannot receive shelter there in case
he leaves Italy. Emboldened by this the
italian Government announces that If the
Pope leaves Rome he will not be allowed to
take with him the papal treasure, nor the
priceless contents of the Vatican. For the
first time in 1000 years the Bishop of Rome
has now no strong political ally. The Gov
ernments of all the great Catholic countries
are adverse to him.

USouEsTIoNABLY public sentiment had
much 10 do with the conviction of Mrs.
Maybriek for poisoning. The feeling in
Europe is very much stronger against this
form of crime than it is in this country, for
the reason that they have had so much more
of IL. Murders by poison have been very
rare in this country, and public sentiment
has not been aroused about 1t. Our muir
ders are usually those of open, hot-blooded
violence, while in Europe there has been
much of the more odious forms of secret as
sassination. OF all these that by poison is
the most abhorrent, especially to the frank,
open-minded English. Had the form of
murder been some other, with no stronger
evidence than was produced, Mrs. Maybrick
would probably have been acquitted. The
Queen has committed the sentence to penal
servitnde for life

A clover leaf at Gettysburg
Iplucked the other day,
Where, meath lurid Summer sun,
Contended blue and gray.
No armies stood around me then,
The very air around
Breathed peace and silence where was
Upon the battle-ground.
The airy leaves fell thick and fast
As men fell long ago,
And where the deadly cannon stood
Isaw the clover blow.
Again for me the rebel lines
Out of the forest came;
Iseemed TO see them melt away
Before the battles flame
Behind me Round Top rough and grim
Stood out against the sky,
And distant Seminary Ridge
Showed where men dared to die.
And In my front, n lovely sight.
Amid the falling leaves,
saw the wheatield where one day
Dead men lay thick as sheaves.
Around me once in battle fell
The South's heroic sons,
And Armistead as brayely died
In front of Cushing's guns.
Here valor beat rebellion back
Mid sulph'rous smoke and famo;
Here bravery gave to Gettysburg
Her dealhless wreath OF fame.
saw the gentle western wind
Bend low the elOver's crest,
As once it bent the pines above
The dying hero's breast.
And as stopped to pluck Leaf
Methought upon the plain
heard the shout OF victory swell
With loyal might and main.
Omen who fought at Gettysburg
Our ehevaliers In blue;
III keep my modest el0ver-lsaf
In memory Of you.
And when upon II / shall gaze
What memories viii throng;
Your cause, ii was forever right,
Your foes forever wrongI
Forever wFongi let history point
To Gettysburg with PRIDE
For Freedom triumphsd on It's field.
And strangled treason died.
Long may the pine tree bend her bougha
Where struggled blue and gray.
And may the sweet pink clover hlOo@.

OUR -FOUR HUNDREDrH ANNIVERSARY

| OUR -FOUR HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY.
More American cities seem anxious to
celebrate the good luck of Columbus in
| sighting that little Bahama reef 400
years ago than claimed to be the exclusive
| birthplace of Homer. Col. Peyton, the pro-
fessional Centennial ceiebrant, probably first
suggested it. Indeed it is understood that
the Colonel has program made out ahead
for several centuries, to fit the various re-
| curing anniversaries, and only an abandon
ment of the present system of rotation in
the celestial machinery will interrupt his
| scheme.
It is believed that Chicago first declared
| her intentions through the columns of her
blanket-sheet newspapers, while certain pro-
jectors of big things followed soon after,
with program for the City of Mexico, for
which they professed to have secured the
countenance of the President and Cabinet of
our sister Republic. Nothing resulted but
peared and took the first businesslke steps
by forming an organization and starting an
agitation of the subject in Congress. This
was several years ago, but little if anything
had been accomplished, when big New York
came to the front with as much assurance
as though she had intended TO take care
that due formalities were observed in the
case of Columbus all the while. This made
Chicago very mad and ST. Louis little pro-
voked.
The Mayor of Gotham has gotten to-
gether committee of gentlemen whose
combined pocketbook is said TO hold $780,
100000, and the subcommittee have been
appointed and are at work selecting q site
and devising financial scheme of gigantic
proportions that would put to shame an
English syndicate looking for American
breweries Philadelphia and Boston seem
to have modestly yielded all claims TO New
York, while Chicago not having such rich
cousins points to Milwaukee and Oshkosh.
Yet, If she has not made quite 30 much
Roadway, she is still on the track and in
good spirits.
Meantime Baltimore and the Southern
cities have rallied TO the support of Wash
ington. 1000
The Capital seems to be chaing the least,
but that may be accounted for, perhaps, by
the habit of Washington 10 90 into a state
Of temporary coma every Summer. 90
The New York and Chicago papers fairly
glow with rage. "Your Croton water is not
fit 10 driak, says the Chicago editor. while
the New Yorker replies with, "You are built
on swamp, and we would ali catch typhoid
feyer.n New York makes q spiteful allusion
to the pneumatic powers of her Western
sister, while the latter points contemptu-
ously 10 the cerebral tumeiactions that mar
the beauty Of father Knickerbocker.
Washington has one practical advantage,
however, aud mnrmurs We amt saying
word. Congress boards with us in the busy
season.
The fact Is that all this preliminary DEM
onstration Is for effect on Congress, for with
out lis official sanction, independent of
financial considerations, there can be no
worlds fair in the United States in 1892.

THE Times Democrat, of New Orleans, con-
sidered one of the most progressive news
papers in the South, urges Gov. Lowry not to
allow the Boston brute, lately convicted
of prize fighting in Mississippi, to serve out
his time in prison; and, in fine, to drop the
matter. The ground for the advice to the Gov
ernor is that by the arrest and conviction of
Sullivan the law has been sufficiently vim
dicated, and that mercy should now be
exercised, and that no one be prosecuted
when seeking the hospitality of the South.
1t is to be hoped that pleading 30 repugnant
to common sense will be appreciated by
Gov. Lowry for what ii is worth. The idea
that the way to vindieate the law is to set
aside the verdict rendered under it when it
happens to be unpleasant to an offender is
novel On the same ground Gov. Hill should
have pardoned the four women-murderers
who were handged in New York city last
Friday because their conviction and sentence
had amply expiated their crimes. Gov.
Lowry will no doubt see that instead of
indicating the law by the method advised
by the Times Democrat he would be bringing
it into contempt. 1t is about time that the
country had some indication of the pene-
tration of civilized methods into the re-
cesses of Mississippi, and in all probability
better opportunity will not occur soon.
