LETTER FROM THE SOUTH.
T CONCLUDED FROM LAST WEEK.

CONCLUDED FROM LAST WEEK.
The bummers were an important
factor and living issue in that cam
paign; recruited from every walk in
life without regard to nativity or pre-
vious condition, white, black Or "yal-
Ier," no limitation to age or sex; the
only qualifications required that they
be willing ''to tote for rations." Such a
rabble of humanity never was wit
messed by mortal eyes; from start to
finish it was one grand picnic to them,
which to the army was most apparent
when at night the caravan began to
assemble, some on foot, others on
mules, horses, or oxen laden with
every conceivable thing in existence,
chickens, geese, ducks and provisions
of all kinds. Then by the CLEAN of
the huge fires the shambling dancing
of the darkies begins to the the dis
cordant music of reed instruments
and every article from which they
could extract noise, the hilarity re-
sulting from imbibing apple jack or
peach brandy. This would continue
through the entire night were they
not compelled by military discipline
to cease at taps.
The morning hours would call forth
the salute in the discordant notes from
the stock of fowls, the bleating Of
goats and the strident bray of the
mule, together with the hundreds of
dogs barking in grand chorus, all lent
enchantment to the gravity of the
campaign. The niger and the dog
are boon companions; one is essential
to the existence of the other. A dar-
key always when possible makes his
purchases on the installment plan.
One dollar down and a dog week is
his understanding of a contract. Dis
tances between points he computes
by barks of dog. The color of dog
and the time in night or day they are
wont to bark means good or i'll omen
to the master and his household.
The force of the command increased
as it advanced until instead of well
disciplined army of veterans it became
a mob of plunderers, unwieldy and
unmanageable, and at times caused
Gen. Sherman to enforce severe pun
ishment, even to infict in two instances
the death penalty for diabolical
assaults. No doubt it was the results
of this campaign that induced Sher-
nam to define war as hell.
G.
Sherman lost no time in sending his

GOV. P1GE'S FRIENDS PRODUCE
COPY OF THE POWERS LETTER.

Hyde Park, April 23.-Your editorial
in Saturdays issue headed "Charges
of Rotten Politics Denied' warrants a
statement of the facts.
At the Rutland and Burlington con-
ventions Gov. Pages friends did
charge that the preponderence of
Powers sentiment was the result of
premeditated attempt to pack the
conventions. Powers, through the
st. Adams Messenger denied the
charge and an investigation immedi-
ately followed. The result is disclo-
sure of the fact that Powers had writ
ten letters calling upon his friends to
be at those conventions in force.
Here is an exact copy of letter
written by recognized Powers lead
er, to- day holding Office as postmas-
ter, to a gentleman, who has held
high honor in an elective Office in this
state:
''I have just received letter from
Congressman Powers and he would
like to have you have two or three
delegates elected. [ do not know
how many you are entitled to, to the
convention to be held in Rutland,
April II, favorable to him. He wants
his friends there in force. Can you
do this? If so I will see that your car
fare is paid up and back and dinner
at hotel. Let me know by return
mail.n
If the authenticity of this letter is
denied the names of both receiver and
sender will be given.-L. FL. Lea0is IN

ONLY WIDOWS LIVE THERE.

ION the coast of Norway" says an
exchange, there is a small island that
is inhabited only by widows. 1t is
called Aarlud, and is bleak, cheer
less place. Up to a few years ago
there resided upon the island a happy
community Of about one hundred souls.
The men were fishermen and egg
hunters. A member Of the community
was killed by falling from cliff, and
rs a mark of sympathy and respect all
the men determined TO attend the
funeral Of the deceased, which was to
take place at the cemetery at Hauge-
sund. on the mainland. In returning
a storm came up and all the men were
drowned.
This story must seem rather fshy TO
those who know how fascinating and
attractive widows are. II no men have
ioined the widows on the Island OF
Aarlud Il must be because there are no
unmarried men within 100 miles Of the
place.
