remarkable reputation among the Con-
federates for overcoming difficulties, !"

Army of the Tennessee to a reporter
for the Washington Star.
THE general had some of the best
engineers in the business with him,
and whenever a road or bridge was to
be constructed it was TO be done in a
hurry. When he wanted bridge built
he just sent out Gen. Dodge the great

might be.
Il remember one time on the cam
paign to the sea the Confederates
were planning to blow up a tunnel
that Gen. Sherman was intending to
use. The matter was discussed by
the 'Johnnies,' and one of the officers
remarked that he thought the blow.
ing up of the tunnel would be an effec.
tive move, when another officer, who
appreciated Gen. Sherman's ability to
surmount obstacles, said:
What's the use of blowing up the
tunnel? Sherman carries tunnels right
along with him.
