Return of Confidence

CONFIDENCE in him had returned From time
~ to time previous to this Halleck had reported
HIM as "Convalescng, as Much better, =" His
health is pretty nearly recovered - At last Sher
man is, all agreeing, well again Expressions rather
amusing, seeing that he had been far from i'll and
hard at work all the time. But on February Il,
1862, Sherman received the following order:
You will Immediately repair Paducah Kentucky
and assume command OF that post.
H. W. HALLECK, Major General
Further confidence was evinced in the instruc-
tions which awaited him at Paducah Among them
this message:
Send General Grant everything you spare from
Paducah and Smithland. HALLEcK
Hard on this habilitaton came the inspiring
intelligence OF Grants victories Forts Henry and
Donelson. The strategy that Sherman had ested
earnestly at the St. Louis conference had been
splendidly executed. Sherman saw this victory in
its true significance. In sending his companion
Hurbut forward TO Grant he said The great cam
Paign has already begun l am part and parcel of
1t, and shall soon be with you.
Meanwhile however, he attended strictly to the
business at hand, getting reinforcements and sup
plies up the Tennessee and the Cumberland and
and Donelson He had learned to labor and to
wait. But at the same time he took wise precau-
tiOns.
Speaking of these days in his memoirs he saws.

The Long Delayed Opportunity
THE time SO anxlously awaited at last came sud-
tennessee with his troops and report General
{. +. Smith at Savannah, Tennessee. 1t was glad
day to Sherman (March A. 862) when he reached
the front lines with his division. Smith im1ne-

supply of ammunition.
Bowman and Erwin in their military biography
say, Sherman everywhere; encouraging his
troops, ralyin the stragglers, directing the bat
teres with his hands, advising with other
commanders, and supernt ending every movement
in person. Those who still fancied him crazy did
not after this deny his energy, cooness courage
On Monday Fat Shioh] he again wounded and
had three horses shot under him. but mounted
fourth and stayed on the field
Another Important Result
THIS battle of Shiloh was fateful in still another
respect; it the beg inning of intimacy
between Sherman and Grant which almost imme-
diately was to affect the destinies of the nation
Halleck had slight excuse for relieving Grant
after Donelson, because he did not quickly get
reports from Grant which he had ordered. But
Grants good faith was manifested just soon as
the facts became known. Again however, in re-
front Ha1leck for no good put Grant aside
into the nominal position of second in command"
with absolutely nothing to do.
1t was at this time that Sherman did Grant and
the country a great service. One day the former
was visiting him and found all Grants belongings
packed for departure. Grant with his immediate
staff was about to start for St. Louis. He had
already written his resignation but had not yet
submitted it to Halleck. Sherman, seeing how
things WERE pleaded with him earnestly not to GO.
The war is on, General; battles and campaigns
will succeed each other; and if you go away you
will be left out
getting his wish. The General, however, promised
to think over what he urged, and said, Il shall
you again, Sherman, before my final decision"
Shernan's arguments did prevail; Grant did
not go.
Shortly after this Halleck went to Washington

was restored to command. Grant and Sherman
did not always agree in opinion, as was demon

Exporters in Pensacola are prepar

Government of sums paid by them for
stamps during the period that the war
tax was effective, and if hc'claims arc
allowed fully $4,000 will be refunded

From 1898 to 1901 every cargo man
ifest of a vessel clearing through the
custom house here had a sta&P valued

from the pockets of the exporters.
During the three years it is estimated
that over $1,000 per year was cOliett-
