CEN. W. SHERMAN
How He Wrote from the
Field on War.
Letterfto ChaS. a. Dana-Problep ms
of Transportation and Food
Laws of War.

When Gen. Sherman was asked, dur
ing the war, to aid people in reaching
their friends at the front. so as to help
the Sick and the suffering, he wrote a
letter 10 Charles A. Dana, then assist
ant Secretary of War. from which the
following extract is taken:
4 had no time to hesitate. for but a
short month was left me TO prepare.
and l must be ready to put in motion
near 10O,O 900 men to move when naught
remains to save life. 1 figured up the
mathematics, and saw that l must
have daily 145 carloads of essentials
for thirty days to enable me to fill the
requirement. Only seventy-five daily
was all the roads were doing. Now
have got it up to 135. Troops march,
cattle go by the road, sanitary and suit
ler's stores limited, and all is done
that human energy can accomplish.
Yet come these pressing claims of
charity, by men and women who can
not grasp the great problem. My
usual answer is, 'Shom me that
your presence at the front is more
valuable that 200 pounds of pow
der bread or oats and it Is gem
orally conclusive. | have given Mr.
Slavery pass on your letter, and it
takes 200 pounds of bread from our
soldiers. or the same of oats from our
patient mules; but. could not promise
to feed the suffering Quakers at the
expense of our army. [ have ordered
all who cannot provide food at the
front TO be allowed transportation back
in our empty cars; but cannot under
take to transport the food needed by
the worthy East TennesSeeans or any
of them. In peace there is beautiful
harmony in all departments of life
they all fit together like a Chinese
puzzle; but in war all is ajar Moth
ing fits, and it is the struggle between
the stronger and weaker; and the lat
ter, however it may appeal to the bet
ter feelings of our nature, must kick
the beam. To make war we must and
will harden our hearts.
Therefore, when preachers clamOr
and the sanitaries wall, don't join in,
but know that war, like the thunder
bolt. follows its laws, and turns not
aside even if the beautiful, the Vlrtu-
GUS and charitable stand in its path.
When the day and the hour comes,
I'll strike Joe Johnston, be the result
what it may; but in the time allotted
to me for preparation l must and will
be selfish in making those prepare

FOR MR.. CLEVELAND.

NEW YORK.-The Princeton alum
nj and friends of the university who
are conversant with its affairs have
not waited for the trustees to meet and
act upon the recent anonymous gift of
100000 to endow a professorship OF
general politics in the institution. but
have settled upon former President
Grover Cleveland as the occupant of
the chair. Il is even said that the
donor of the fund had Mr.. Cleveland
in mind, and that the place has been
created in order that he may be for
mally attached to the university in
which he has shown such a lively in
terest since he has LEFT the White
House.
As the university already has a pro-
fessOrship of Jurisprudence and poll
tics, which is filled by Professor Wood
row Wilson, there was some specula-
ton as to the purpose of creating
new chair for general politics until Mr.
Cleveland's name was mentioned in
connection with the place. It was ex-
planned that the new professorship
would embrace international law. po-
litical science, diplomacy and the fun
damental principles Of government.
The field to be covered will be supple
mentary TO that covered by Professor
Wilson.
