What Sherman practiced in his march through Georgia and South 'Carolina in 1864-65, he preached as early as 1863. Iu a letter to Gen. Hlledi'k, da'ted September 17, 1868, -he-says that "we (the army) will if meed be, take every life, every.sore of land, every particle of property, -eve,rytlaing that to us seems proper," and -that he would keep up war, pure and simple, and make Southern peo. ple "so bick of war that generations would .pass away before they wouid again appeal to it." This is in the -same vein os the declaration, a year later, that he would "make Georgia howl" and that the Fifteenth Corps does its work well. A simple perusal of the letters of Sherman, published by himself, will show that such orimes as the burning of Columbia "were, in his view, legitimate and proper-sots -of war. But against this we can set -the opinion of a better soldier and better man than Sherman, whose judgment was cool and dispassionate in things which came home to him .a-nd his people as in things with which he and hmis had no personal concern. When Gen. Lee visited -this State, not long before his death, a gentleman who knew him well, ask ed -his opinion of Sherman's eoduct. This, it must be remember,ed, was several years after the war, when there were the same means that there wero tihe same means that there are mow of forming a true ba'dgment.

Sherman, in his snach hrog.hthe country, justified, under the usages of war, in burning our homes over the heads of our women and children while we were in tihe field ?" G-en. Lee arose from hie chair with his eyes brightened, and said .:"No, sir I e, sir I it was the aet of a eavage. He was not justiAed under the usages of war." This we have from the lips of the gentleman to whom Gen. Lee said these worde. They are worthy of note, and.the phrase that (Gen. Lee used in speaking of Sherman will be remembered to Sherman's shame when every other bitterness of the war is forgotten :"It was the act of a savage !"-News and Courier. The experiment of destroying the body of a dead horse by crematt.on has been made at Milan in the prda. enco of several doctors and scien tists. The carcass was placed In a huge oven, through the lateral open ings of which four hundred jots of lighted gas were directed upon it, and three jets of gas and air applhed S to the three most difficult points of combustion. The operation hated a little over two hours. There was no residue from the combustion, and it was uniattended by hbad odor. The Two Races.

President ienley, of the Pole Bearers, opened the proceedings with a brief speech. He said they had not come together to disouss poli tics, but to "pull down the political and bring about peace, joy and union." AN OEFERING OF PEACE. President Henley then said: "Gen. Forrest, allow mo to introduce to you Miss Lou Lewis, who, as the repre. santative of the colored ladies, will present you with a bouquet, to as. sure you of the sincerity they enter. tain for the objects of this occasion [cheer] and as an offering of peace." Lou Lewis then advanced to where Gen. Iorreat was standing, and pre sented the bouquet with the follow. iog remarks : "Mr. Forrest, allow me to present you this bouquet as a token of recon. ailiation and an offering of peace and good will." [Applause.] nESPONSE OF GE1. FORREST.' Gen. Forrest received the bouquet, x-nd in response said: LAIXEs AND GENTLEMEN: I accept 4 the flowers as a memento of recon 3-iliavion between the white and color ed vaees of the Southern States. I kccept it more particularly as it 3omes from a colored lady, for if there is any one in God's earth who loves the ladies I believe -it is myself.

Pilloit made an address of I sensiderable length, in which he gave the colored people some sage I advioe. Hion. Casey V oung, who had expected to be present andi makde a speech, was umiable to do so on ae. scant of illness, sent a letter, which~ was read and wola received. Great enthusiasm was manifested by the colored peg9Dl throughout the proceedings, and the patriotic renti ments expressed by the speakers were frequently applauided. By telegraph from Atlanta, *.he sad news comes of the death of Gen.1 Elenry 1a. Benning. Hle was one ofI [*eorgia'a most gifted and. gallaut< mtatesmen, solirs and lawyers. In the army he was known as "~Old Rook," a familiar nickname given him by the boys In grey to denote the possession of that kinad of courage which 8tonewall Jackson possessed.

July 7.-At , the celebration at Hilldale, near Wash. sington, on Monday, by the colored people, there was anew Declaration of lndependenoce, Proreasor Langston and Frederick Douglass being in accord concerning the duty of their race. Theig remarks were frequent. ly applauded by their many listen era. Frederick Douglass declared the indedendence of the colored race frow pretended whibe friends, who, ( he said. have injured more than they t have helped the black men. Professor Langston, in a similar strain, remarked that he was tl4ere to declare his independence for .all who were his followers. The hour is come, he oontinued, when we must throw off this yoke of oppres sion, and stand up for our rights as freemen.

The captain, an affable gentlemen with a keen eye, and so troubled with rheumatiam that he has to employ a gool deal of leis. -ure-in attendi to it, :interbated me as having been the personal keeper of Mr. Jefferson Davis when ioarera ted in Fortress Monroe. He was unfor. tutato enough to have committed to him the painful duty of putting the Confederate ex-President in irone. It was one of those stupid blunders which, were it possible, should be doisigned to oblivion, but, sinoe that can bardly be, it is well enough to know that it was at the time regarded by sensible men liko Capt Titlow as a wholly -unnecessary as4i- gratuit4J insult. Tb offioer In command had orders from 8coretary Stanton to iron Mr. Davis should any exigency re quire it. But there was no sugh eil. genoy. He was seoure in the inner aparti-ent of a casement, with son . tries in th gun toom that opened from it, and other sentries outside in front and rear by night and 'day. When Capt. Titlow, as orderqd by his superior offioer, Gen.. M--, 'n. tered the. casemste, the blacksmith fullowing him with the irons,; Mr. Davis was seated on his cot,. O'Cre being no furniture besides bdt a stol and a few articles of tin.aase. When he glanced at the blacksmith: and Domprehended the situation, he' ex. ulaiaed, "My God I this indignity to be put on meI not while I have lif.,# At first he pleaded for opportunity to inquire of Secretary Stanton. ThOD his excitement rose to fury as he Pralked the cel, venting itlelf in al. most incoherent ravings. The @ap. ain at length calmly remnded him hat as a soldier he must bi aware 1wat, however disagreesble the duty ssigned, it must be performed, and ,hat, s in .duty boundj, be ahpild perform it. "None buta deg *Ould ,bey such orders," replied itr. Devib, . )mphasizing his detrmina'ion never o be mansolod alive by L sping the itool and aiming a very viious blow. 'ho sentries rushed forward to disarm ie, but were ordered back into heir'V'oes. Oapt-Titow explained hat such d1monstrations of self lefense were fooish and useless, and hat it would be much better for Mr. )avid to submit to the inevitable.no. essity. But, while receiving this dvice, he took the opportunity of reasping the musket of one of the entries, and in the furious endeavor o wrest it from him, quite a souffle neued. That ended, the captain ouk the precaution of clapping his and on his sword-hilt as he perceiv. d Mr. Davis' eye was on it, and at noe ordered the corporal of guard El c send into the casemate four of his trongest men without side-arms, as e teared they might get into the rrong posseamion and cause damage, 'hey were ordered to take the.pris aer as gently as possible, and, usiNg Lj o unnecessary force, to lay tipon be cot and there hold bhum down, t proved about as much is the four T ould do, the wrIthings' and uphe,av uge of the infuriated tuau develop. ug the strength of a maniac, until it ul minated in sheer exhaaustiond Yhmen the unhappy and shamefsl ju ask was done, Mr. Davis, after lying till a while, raised blrnuelf et sat on he side of the bed.
