[ The general opinion has been that, ; ^ .while General Sherman commanded the I' army which marched from Atlanta to 11 Savannah and from thence to Richmond i 3 the conception of the plan belongs to,' .General Grant, it is well that this q ties- js tion should be decided. In many re-j( spects the march to the sea stands outjy from the rebel lion as the most brilliant;) achievement of the war. On the 12th of, September, 1SU-J, General Grant wrote to; c Sherman from City Point that he didjs not know exactly what to do with Slier-1 1 man's army, and was disturbed by the,e ditliculties of supplying it, anil iutima- c ted that it might be well to threaten Ma-| * cou* iid Augusta. To this letter Gener- 1 al Sherman replied, saying he would not)x liesitate to cross the State of Georgia 1 with 00,000 men, hauling some stores " and dep'euding on the country for the 1 balance; that "where millions of people r find subsistence my army won't starve." ? He did not believe in penetrating Ueor- * ? ;? wit it out an objective beyond. "It f fc"* " ? V would be productive of mucb good. I 1 <can start east, and make a circu't south and back, doing vast damage to the State N resulting in no permanent good, and by 1 threatening to do so I hold a rod over 11 .the Georgians, who are not over loyal to ' the South." He concludes by advising I that Grant's armies should be reinforced 11 and that he should keep Hood employed ' and put his army in line order for a J march on Augusta, Columbia and Char- 1 leston. "The possession oft he Savannah ? River is more fatal to the possibility of a the Southern independence. He may .stand the fall of Richmond, but not the fall of Georgia." "If you can whip Lee and I can march io the Atlantic, I think r Uncle Abe will give us twenty days' ab- v f/illru " Thic ;? c sence iu?<x . the first indication in thiscorrespondenc r " . of what afterward became the famous 1 march to the sea. e a GRANT ITESITATKD OVHR Tin: MARCH. t To this letter Grant answered, Septem- 1 ber 6. "It would be better to drive For- t re^t out of Tennessee, as a first step to do I anything else you may feel your force 1 sufficient for," lint Sherman would not 1 abandone this sea dream. On the 9th fof October he telegraphed to Thomas, 1 "I want to destroy all the roads below t Chatanooga, including Atlanta, and to >c make for the seacoast;" and again, to ^ i. ur no n m?Ll:o tliii: inn roll firwl onn t juram, x tun make Georgia howl." General J. H. f "Wilson was sent down (o command the < eavalry; Grant's idea evidently being 1 that Wilson at the head of the * cavalry force might do in Georgia what Sheridoii had done in Virginia; "and Grant" says .Sherman "advised that Wilson 1 Should be sent South to accomplish all 1 that I had proposed to do with the main a army, but I had not so much faith in ' cavalry as he had, and prefered the first." t Grant again urged Sherman to destroy J Hood's army before thinking of his * march across to the sea, and the next t day Sherman answered him that Thorn- * as. was strong enough to handle Hood, * and that the best results would follow r the contemplated movement through s Georgia." Evidently the despatch de- ' cided General Grant's mind, for the 2d < ot November he telegraphed:?"I do 11 not see that you can withdraw from * where you are to follow Hood without s giving up all we have gained in territo- ? rv. i say, uieii, git uii "This," says General Sherman, "was ' the first time that General Grant assent- t ed to the march to the sea, and although a many of his warm friends and admires * insist that he was the author and pro- a ject of that march, and that I simply ( execute his plans, General Grant has v never, in my opinion, thought so, or I said so." "I have often been asked by t well meaning friends when the thought i of that maryh first entered mj' mind. I c knew that an army which had penetra- ' ted Georgia as far as Atlanta could not f turn back?it must go ahead; but when, l how and where depended on many con- a siderations. As soon as Hood crossed c from Liverjoy's to Palmetto, I saw the t move in my mind's eve, and after Jeffer- r .son Davis' speech at ralmetto, on Sep- ( fember 25,1 was more positive in my t conviction. We think there can be no ? doubt of the fact that the march to the i " :'K V- ^ ea was thoroutily the Oohception of Sherman and that .he believed the sucess of the march\vvould .result in the all of Richmond. On the 7th of Noember, five days after this despatch, living formal assent, General Grant telgraphed approving the plans and sayng: "I think every thing here is favor-1 ,ble now. Great good fortune attend ou. I helieve you will be eminently uccessful, and at most can only make a narch less fruitful than hoped for." TUB MAliCIl TO THH SKA. On the 10th of November, 18U-1, Sher-j nan set out his march, llis army was lividedintoa right and left wing un ler the command of Gens. Howard and ; Mocum, and was composed of about | 10,000 men. Most extraordinary cllorts] lad been made to purge it from non-j ombatants and sick men, and every oldier in the ranks was "well equipped | ,nd prov'ded as well as human foresight' :ould with all the essentials of life, I trength and vigorous action." Proviions enough for twenty days and for-! :ge for live were taken. Sherman's lescriptiou of the morning when the narch began is vivid and picturesque: 'We stood upon the very ground wherein was fought the bloody battle of July 2. and could see the copse of wood i-here MoPherson fell. Behind us lay Vtlanta smouldering and In *ruins, the ilaek smoke rising liigh in the air*and langing like a pall over the ruined ity." "Bight before us the Fourteenth orps, .marching, steadily and rapidly villi a cheery and swinging pace, made ight of the many hundred miles that ay between us Kichmod. Some band! truck up the anthem of John Brown. J [*he men caught up the strain, and lever before or since have 1 heard the, horns done with more spirit and better' larmony of time and place. Then we nrned our horses' heads to the east. ? ! Atlanta was lost behind the screen of rees and became a thing of the past.? Vround it clings many a thought of lesperate battle, of hope and fear, vhich now seems like the memory of a Iream, and I have never seen the place: lince. The day was extremely beautiul; clcar sunlight, with bracing air, ind an unusual feeling of inspiration tn nprvflflft ill 1 niillds ? tllC feel ng of something to come, vague and mdefined, still full of venture and inensc interest. Even the common sol-j liers caught the inspiration, and manv t group called out to me as I worked ny way past them, 'Uncle Billy, I fuess Grant is waiting for us in Richnond.' Indeed the general sentiment vas that we were marching for Richmond, where we should end the war." 'I had no purpose to march direct for Richmond by way of Augusta and Jharlotteville, but always did desire to each the seacoast at Savannah or Port Royal t and even kept in mind the al crnative or 1'ensacoia." TIIK ROMAXCK OF TJIK MARCH. General Sherman's style becomes picaresque and vivid in treatiiig of this narcli to the sea. At Covington the legroes were simply frantic with joy, tnd clustered about his horse, shouting md praying in their quaint style, vhich had a peculiar eloquence "that vill move a stone," and "I can now see t poor girl, in the very ecstacy of the dethodist shout, hugging the tattered ninner of one of our regiments and umping up to the feet of Jesus." Then here came an old, gray-haired negro? 'about as fine a head as I ever saw. I isked him if he understood about the var and its progress. lie said that he i.- i?t i?.. i??i. 11(1 J llliU DC* JSilU Ul'l'll miming iui uic in^el of the Lord ever since he was cnee-high, and though he professed to >e fighting for the Union he supposed hat slavery was the cause, and our suc:ess be his freedom. I asked him if all he negro slaves comprehended this fact, ind lie said they surely did." It was l hard time with the plantation of Howell Cobb, the famous rebel general, vhen Sherman reached it. Ho gave >rders to General Davis to spare nothng, and that night the plantation was Iestoyed. "Sitting in front of tho fire hat evening," says the General, "I became conscious that a negro with a talow candle iu his hand was scanning] ny face closely. [ inquired, 'What do! ,-ou want, old man?' He answered,! Dey say you is Massa Sherman.' I an-l iwered 'that such was the case, and inliiired what he wanted. He only wantid to look at me, and kept muttering dis nigger can't sleep any dis night,'? riiere were appeals from the Southerntn mnan jirwl (lnfprnl thf?ir iinHvo oil, bilt Sherman kept marchingsteadiy on. "When the soldiers took Milidgcvillo they organized a Legislature >f their own and had many pranks.? Jeauregard called on the Georgians to ise for the defence of their soil, as he vas hastening to join them. Senator {ill telegraphed from Richmond that very citizen with his gun and every legro with his spade could do the work >f the soldier, and members of Congress telegraphed to assail the invader in Vont, Hank and rear by night and by lay and let him have no rest. At one joint there were torpedoes on the road, md a handsome young officer's foot vas blown to pieces. Sherman formed lis prisoners into an advance guard, md made them march at the head of lis column and remove the torpedoes, finally on the 13th day of December, ibout a month after the departure from Atlanta, Sherman's troops captured <"ort McAllister, alid his army was on he seacoast under the protection of the ;uns of the federal army, and with ibundant supplies. THE CAPTURE OF SAVANNAH. We learn from the memoirs of Geneal Sherman the capture of Savannah vas also his own act, against the wishes if General Grant. As soon as Sliernan arrived at Savannah, Grant wrote o him to fortify himself on the seaoast, leave behind artillery and cavalry .nil to bring the balance of his comnand to Richmond. Sherman replied hat he would prefer to take Savannah, hence to march toward Columbia ana laleigh. Thomas had uot attacked tuuu as was expeeieu; ana v^rani mi-i >atient for the contest, had thought of ;oing to Nashville in person, but conented himself with sending out Logan o relieve Thomas. Iu obedience to Sherman's urgency, Grant changed his nind about embarking his troops, and he result was the capture of Savannah! >n December 22, 18G4, and an order troin j irant to carry out his own ideas and to narcli with his entire army by land. SlIEnMAN AND STANTON. The difficulty between General Shcrnan and Secretary Stanton was oue of lie painful events of the war and to be ittributed solely, we think, to the pecuiar tempcrment of the two men. Station paid Sherman a visit 011 the nth of lanuary and ordered all the cotton to >esent North. By the orders of Station all the marks were obliterated from j his cottou, which Sherman "thought' trangely of at the the time and even nore so now." "Fori am assured," he ays, "that claims, real and fictitious, lave been proved up ajieinst this identi-1 :al cotton of three times the quantity ictually captured?namely, ol,0uubales.' Stanton remained with Sherman for! ome days, "seemingly very curious j ibout matters and things in general." ie did not think that some of Slier-j nan's generals had shown kindness to | he negro, and he complained of Genertl Jefferson C. Davis. Sherman defend-1 ;d his generals, claiming that they felt i sympathy for the negroes, but "of a lifferent sort from that of Mr. Stanton, i vhich was not the power of humanity >jt of politics." There was a confer-1 nice between Secretary Stanton and a: lelecation of negroes, and among the (uestions addressed to them was this:? State what is the feeling of the colored )eople toward General Sherman, and low far do they regard his sentiments tnd actions as friendly to their interests >r otherwise." The answer was that hey had the utmost confidence in Sliernan "as a man in tho providence of 7 )d set apart specially to accomplish his work." This was certainly a singular interview; and Sherman com-, neiiting upon it, says with naive and, g| ) :^| ' ' ' ' s we think, pardonable vanity.:?"It certainly was a strange fact that the great Secretary of war should have catechized negroes concerning the character of a General who had commanded 100,000 men in battle, had capturcd cities, conducted 65,000 men successfully across 4,000 miles of hostile territory and had just brought tens ot thousands of freedmen to a place of security. But because he had not loaded down his army by other hundreds of thousands of frecdmen negroes it Mas construed by others as. hostile to the black race." ">r 1,1? '' HamahoI QKormon '4u?no "Aiy tuiu," snja ucnciai uiiviiu??, .. to whip the rebels and humble their pride and follow them to their inmost recesses to make them fear and dread lis: Stanton was not in good health, although he appcarod robust and strong, he complained a good deal of internal pains, which threatened his life and which would compel him soon to quit public office. He said that the price of everything had so risen, in comparison with depreciated money, that there was danger of national bankruptcy, and he appe.-fted to me as a soldier and a patriot to hurry up matters so as to bring the war to a close." SHERMAN AND LINCOLN. Then came the march through the Carolines- from Charleston steadily north and the burning of Columbia, which General Sherman believes to have been an accident arising trorn tne criminal folly of the Confederates in setting fire to their cotton. When the army reached Goldsboro Sherman took a run up to City Point to meet Lincoln. The President remembered him perfectly, and they engaged in the most interesting conversation. Having made a good long social visit, they took their leave and went to General Grant's quarters, where Mrs. Grant had provided | tea. "While at the table," says Sherman, "Mrs. Grant inquired if we had (seen Mrs. Lincoln." "No," said the ! General. "I did not ask for her and I .added that 1 did not even know that she was on board. Mrs. Grant exclaimed, | "Well, you are a pretty pair," and added that our neglect was unpardonable, J when the General said we would call again the next day and make amends for the unintended slight. The next day they called, and Mrs. Lincoln, who I wne rmf wpII did not see them. Gener al Shermrn gives full notes of his conjversation with President Lincoln. "Of jail the men 1 ever have met he seemed [ to possess more of the elements of great[ ness, combined with goodness, than any other. When at rest or listening his | legs and arms seemed to hang almost lifeless, and his face was carcworn and haggard ; but the moment he began to talk his face lightened up, his tall form as it were unfolded, aud he was the very impersonation of good humor and fellowship. The last words I recall as I addressed to me were that he would 1 feel better when I was back at Golds! boro. We parted at the gangway of i the River Queen about noon of March j 28, and I never saw him again." juur! ing this conversation General Sherman asked President Lincoln what should , be done to Jefferson Davis and the politI ical leaders. "As to Jefferson Davis" says Sherman, "Mr. Lincoln was hardI ly at liberty to speak his mind fully, but intimated that he had better clear out, i escape the country, only it would not j do for him to say so openly. As usual I he illustrated his meaning by a story. A man who once had taken the total ! abstinence pledge when visiting a^frieud j was invited to take a drink, but declin; ed on the score of his pledge, when his j friend suggested lemonade, which was 'accepted. In preparing the lemonade j the friend pointed to the brandy bottle, I and said that the lemonade would be I more palatable if he were to pour in a | little brandy, and his guest said if he | could do so unbeknown to him, he j would not object, from which illustraII ion r inferred that Mr. Davis was to escapc unbeknown to him." THE SURRENDER AND THE STANTON" QUARREL ' The surrender of Lee and the assassination of Lincoln came swiftly upon eacli other. Sherman first learned of it in a privaae dispatch on the morning of April 17. He kept the news quiet until he had occasion to sec General Joseph Johnson, to discuss the surrender. "As soon as we were alone together," says Sherman, speaking of his visit to General Johnson^ "I showed him the despatch announcing Mr. Lincoln's assassination and watched him closely. The perspiration came out in large drops on his forehead and he did not attempt to conceal his distress. He denounced the act as a disgrace to the age, and hoped I^did not charge it to the Confederate government. 1 told luin I coulu not believe that he or Ueneral Lee or the officers of the Confederate army could possibly be privy to acts of assassination, but I would not say as much for Jefferson Davis, George Sanders, and men of that tribe. We talked about the effect of this act on tho country at large and the armies, and he realized that it made my situation extremely delicate." Sherman urged upon Johnson the propriety of surrender. This the Confederate General admitted, saying that any further fighting would be murder. Out of this conversation arose a cartel signed between Johnson and Sherman, General Breckenridge bting present and consenting thereto. This cartol or basis of agreement agreed to recommcnd the restoration of the States to their old right and privileges. Sherman contended that he, in doing this, had followed out the advice of Mr. Lincoln, and certainly his information on that subject justifies this conclusion : but Johnson was President and the country was maddened at the assassination of the President. There was no cry so loud as that of revenge* Stanton, who, with all his great qualities as an organizer and Secretary, had an imperious, ungovernable temper, and disapproved Sherman's cartel and virtually disgraced him by sending Grant to supercede him. He issued orders to Generals Sheridan, Schofield, and Wilson, and other commanders, not to obey Sherman's orders. It was thought that Sherman had been a traitor, and a dispatch was in circulation, under the apparent sanction of the Secretary of War, to the effect that Jeflercnn lki.ic l,.wl JUIIUO CSWjjfU WILLI 21 ililiJiWli of specie from Richmond bunks, with which they hoped to make terms with Sherman or some other commander for escape to Mexico. It is hard to realize that so cruel, so unfounded an accusation could have been sanctioned by a Cabinet against an ollicer of the distinguished fame and service of General Sherman. General Grant went to North Carolina, but behaved with the utmost delicacy toward General Sherman, not even appearing in the army, but allowing Sherman to complete his surrender with Johnson. The millions of specie which Jefferson Davis was carrying South in wagons, turned out to be a few thousand dollars that could have been carried in a valise. Sherman came North with his army and boiling with rage. "To say," he says, "That I was merely angry at the tone and substance of this public proceeding of the War Department could hardly express the state of my feelings. I was outraged beyond measure and was resolved to resent the insult, cost whatit would." He declined Halleck's proffers of friendship because he had repeated the orders of Stanton over his own signature. He refused to allow Halleck to review one of his corps. On reaching Washington he called on President Johnson, who took paius to disavow Stanton's war bulletin. General Grant endeavored to effect a reconciliation between Sherman and Stanton, but as the Secretary made no lriendiy advances Sherman "resolved to resent what he considered an insult as publicly as it was made." .

CHINESE SPOUT. Herds of pigs roam wild in tlio jungle, the peats of the Chinese squatters, whose sweet potatoes and other produce they ravenously devour. They afford good sport to Europeans. I once'went out pig shooting with a party, to spend the night in the J jungle. We put up at a small watch house, one of many such which are elevated in the j jungle, standing on posts of bamboo, about ! ten feet from the ground, and with a plat- - i form or flooring not more than six feot square; above is a thatched roof of palm leaves. We were a parfcy of four, one of us an American gentleman, the finest shot in the States?or supposed to be by many, j Having proceeded: to a clearing close to the ' jungle, we entered on the business of lying j in wait?a ceremony by no mean3 the most I enjoyable among those incident to the sport. These wild pigs feed in herds by night j so we spread a store of pineapples on the ( ground, and then, with such patience as we could master, we tarried to see what fortune would send us. Our clothes were 01 Uie lumnuBL; wiu auiiyiuy uuui w.-<? tired oftheir attacks; wliile the bloodthirsty mustjuitoes, buzzing about our heads and driving into our cars, supports! the invading armies of anta by hght incursions, which, harried our nocks and heads so that it beeamae moat difficult to > maintain the silence essential to the success of our expedition. At length, after 1 these protracted hours of weary watching and unreproachful agony, we heard tho distant snorts and grunts that heralded tho 1 approach of the swine. As turtle to aldermen, so are dainty pineapples to these denizens of the jungle. They had got scent of our bait, aau were moving in our cureuuou. They came on but uot incautiously. Now they come on in bristling phalanr, and anort for the encounter, and now thoy grunt a signal to halt. Swift and agile I already knew them to be> bat now, too, ' I* discovered in thom such a happy combination of prudence and boldness that I thought if undonicstieatod pigs could but overcome thoir greediness they might rank among the noblest creatures of the forest. But, alas! in this caao as in too many instances of the past, the prospect of a rich feast was a temptation too great for their groveling nature. On they came, crushing toward us, through the jungle in front. ( We grasped our rilles so as to sweep the ] clearing, and awaited the charge of the ' foe; but, unhappily, preferring American ( to English institutions, they swept suddenly round to the lield commanded by the doughty sportsman from the United States. TheuariHe report, a yelling, and a grunting, followed by the hasty pattering of the ' feet of enemies, as they turned their trotj 4.?? fnii m.rht iind In! wh?n we hur itCXO XU J. 14** . ? ried to the spot, expecting to find at least j ono victim to the trusty weapon of our friend, we, to our dismay, discovered him seated on the ground urn-sing ono leg, and threatening, in most unparliamentary Janguarge, Baboo, his native servant, who laughed and lurked behind a tree. It appeared that the leader of the herd, a huge hog, had charged our friend before he could take aim, had run through between his ' legs, and toppled him over in the act of | firing, and carried h?s followers into the jungle unscratchcd. Disappointed, but not discouraged, we ; determined to keep watch, in the hope that I. the pigs would return. So we fixed Baboo, , as a sentinel on the bamboo ladder of the hut, in such a way that he would not fall off it if ho went to sleep, and then ourselves retir nl to rest. When we awoke the hot sun was shiniug brightly. Baboo, coiled round the bidder like a snake, was still fast asleep, and tiio pigs, undisturbed, had feasted upon the pineapples beneath our feet, The 4th of Marcrt, i?77, comes on Sun day, and as the inangu?ntion of the new President will take place on Monday, Grant will have an extra day in office?a sort of third term, you know. Twice in iho history of the Republic has this occurred; in 1821, at the second inauguration of James Monroe, and in 1319, when Zachary Taylor wa? installed. I Greenville & Columbia R.
