Sherman's Memoirs stirred up a great buzz among miliary men, but his brother officers have hitherto been chary of committing themselves to formal replies. CJen. J. H. Wilson' of cavalry fame has at bust, however, thrown down the gauntlet. Two articles m relent numbers of one of the magazines i The are from his pen. They review Sherman candidly but not kindly, declare of him that he cannot be assigned the highest rank among the great captains of the world, or even of j our own country; that neither his judgement nor his courage is of the highest order, and that they are not in harmonious equiliprium. lieu. Wilson further contends that Sherman is not] the equal of Grant in judgement or courage, though he excels him in bril- j Jiancy ; that ho is inferior to Thomas in steadiness and resolution, far surpassed by Sheridan in courage, and excelled J by Upton as a tactician and general stu-i ' ""f iniliijirv art.

The success|| < *... i.? i f,>?! t )I .AllCll iur UUVt'I'IlUI', uuu Vsiiiuj mi ? Lieutenant-Governor, is confidently ex- s pected by the whole country.

Two t runendments to the State Constitution > will be submitted to the people?the one t conferring woman suffrage, and the | other negro suHrage. The new Legis- ( hit lire will elcct one United States Sen- i ator. In Nebraska the election is for Judges to supply vacancies in the Legislature, | and more important than these will be j the vote on the new Constitution, j On the 20th California holds a judicial j election, and also one for ils Superin- j tendent of Education. The Democratic ( majority at the last election for Gover- j nor was near 1,000. , On the2-ith, elections are to be held in | Oregon and Colorado ; in the first to fill t a vacancy in Congress; and in the sec- i oiul for members of a convention to j. form a State Constitution. i The last election will bo held in Missouri, when a new Constitution is to be submitted to the popular vote.

' Cotton Manufactures iu Iudia. ? 1 Tt appears that uutil recently Indian j cotton manufacturers have not been re-!( quired to pay any duty upon imported ! coLlon, and which is used in connection i, with the native cotton in their monu-lj factures, whilst Manchester goods ex- j I ported to India pay an import duty ' which amounts to $4,001),000 annually. J j in iIk. f'iw> of this ilutv. tho Manchester manufacturer found himself unable to j ] compete with the Eastern manufacturer, iand the legislative council of India hasjj come to his assistance by passing a law j. imposing an import duty of five per cent, on nearly all the imported cotton.! If Manchester is unable to compete I with India under these circumstances,!) how much greater would be thedisad-jj vantages under which her manufacture ers would labor in competition with ISouthern manufacturers. j] When the business of cotton manu-'< facturing, now in its infancy at tlicj; South, is fully developed, our manufact- j urers?with the best cotton in the world j | at their doors, free from impost duties?; i I.,. ..I.In 11,-vf /.till? <r> n/.Hiniitn urilll'i Will UU UUJU 1IUI WII1J ivr WUJJ/VIV *???. r i.riiish manufacturers ju the markets of rlie world, but to monopolize the trade i i iu many countries now supplied by Kn-'j gland.

The experiment of woman's suffrage in Wyoming Territory?the oniv place ivhere it has been tested 011 an extensive scale?is said to have disappointed bolli Yiends ami foes, as neither the good nor ;vil predicted has resulted. The incompleteness of the experiment tcrhaps is in a great measure owing to ,he condition of the Territory, and the imaller proportion which the woman ,*oters hear to the whole population. vYhilst the Territory is twice the .size of nil- largest States, it has only the popualion <if our ordinary County, and of hose the women voters form only one,enth. Ho it is not to be .supposed that io small a handful of women could elect a great moraland political revolution n the condition of the Territory. . Beiiles, all oUlcers of importance arc appointed in Washington, and to that wient the right of suffrage is restricted. As to ollice-holding, very little change Kisbeen effected under the new system; ?nb- two women having been elected toj >tnce, as most women prefer to vole fori nun rather than women. Again, in he matter of mixed juries, where so nuch good was anticipated, there have jeen so many necessary exemptions unong the women, ami tiie system has jeen productive of so much inc.mve lieiice, lluil it. has been abandoned, level'to be revived. IS'o noticable imjrovemcnt in public morals seems to iave resulted irom the new suffrage novement. but matters remain preliy nuch in the same condition us before lie women assumed a share in the ights of government, and became the telive guardians of ilie public iulerests. The ell'ect of the new system is to senile better order at the polls, as ladies ire everywhere treated with the utmost espect. Another consequence is to increase the cost of running foroHice, as lie majority of the women will not vote uiless taken to the polls in carriages, vhich entails a heavy expense upon the iandidate. Upon the ladies themselves he operation of the new system is said lot lo have been attended with any narked influence; neither has it been H'oductive of those family disturbances vhicli many anticipated ; the wives for he most part voting with their tius)auds. Neither of the political parlies las been the gainer by the suffrage novement. It was introduced by a Democratic Legislature, and the repeal >f the law'by a subsequent Democratic Legislature was only arrested by liepubican voters in thecouncii. To stun up the whole matter, the results in Wyoming, of woman sud'rage, iave been so inconclusive, either for jood or evil, that they furnish 110 strong eason for departing from the good old tvavs trod by our lathers and mothers. We of ttie South are a conservative peo?h, and have no fancy for the newtangled theories, political, social, religious, and moral, which prevail in other iiuilinna Our \i*omr*n fulfill */(> !lnilstV Lheir appointed work in the home cirjle, ami have neither ambition norapli:ude to mingle iu the exciting eontesls jf the political arena. They wield a more potent influence in the domestic jiicle than they might hope to attain ilsevvhere, as all the agencies which move the youthful mind are under :heir control. Upon the mothers of the jountry are lo depend its weal or woe, nul not ii|ion the woman suffrage movement. ? <z> ? - riie Failure of tlie Indian Negotiations. The attempt to conclude a treaty with Hie Sioux Indians for the sale of the IJIaek Hills, has resulted In failure?the [nd'aus asking loo much for the counry; one of their propositions being that hey should be supported for two hunh-pil vp:irs. and another bcin^ that they should be paid ?70.000,000 for llie prop;rty. The commissioners wore not prepared to assent to such extravagant demands, and look their leave, after subletting a protocol, "first, to buy the i?ht to mine in the Jilack Hills for >400,000 per annum, this right to terminate at any time on a year's notice by ;he United States; second, to purchase .lie Jilack Hills from the Sioux nation, md to pay them for their interests there lie sum of $0,^50,000 in fifteen equal innual insUdlments, said sums to be innually appropriated for their subsistence and civilization, not less than S1U0,Jdi) of which shall be annually expended or the purposes of civilization; tliird, hat the President of the United States sliall, under proper restrictions and regulations, designate three routes to the lilaek Hills country. Jt was next pro?osed to purchase the Big Horn country or$50,000, paid annually for ten years, he money to be expended in food ami stock. Furthermore, it was proposed hat if the protocol be accepted, $50,000 je expended in presents to be distributed among the bands. This protocol tvas left with the Indians to discuss tills Winter." Koine of our exchanges suggest that lie whole scheme to purchase the 13lack hiilis country is but the effort of a ring 11 Washington to get possession of a it'll mining country, and for this pur>ose are using the authority of the Uovjrnnient, though it may imperil the leaee of the country. There has been io legislation by Congress looking to the emoval of the Indians, and perhaps lie interests both of the Indians and of liis (iovermncut, would be best sub>erved at present by dropping the whole natter. Tin-: Election in Ciraki,ics-ion? Pile municipal election in Charleston aino oil' on Wednesday last, and resulted in a majority of over 2,000 for the Cunningham party, composed of Conservatives and Independent Jtepubli;ans. The best citizens of Charleston supported this ticket, and we are glad to see that they have achieved so decisive i victory. . * i.P il.? Ml Tllli IIIII'R'SIS ui ine win uuiiuuc.-to je largely promoted by the defeat of the Bowen faction, and the triumph of Conservatism over the worst form of Uadical tyranny. The election passed ill* without serious disturbance, and the rood order is generally attributed to the firmness of the commissioners of election, who boldly maintained their rights is the guardians of the polls, and prepared a strong military force to support their authority, should it be resisted. After the stormy excitement of the past few weeks, the city needs repose, ind will enter upon a new career of prosperity, with the best of hopes inspired by the recent victory.

Stkaxgk Coalitions. ? In the first place we find the JS'cw York World, which professes to be the national organ of the Democracy, and a host of other Democratic journals in the Middle and New England States using every effort to defeat the Democratic ticket in unio, because of the inflation platform of the OhioDetnocracy, while the Democrats of the South and Northwest look upon the contest in the Buck Eye State as the turning point in the national CDiitest. Then we have the Ho i. \V. D. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, a double-dyed Republican, stumpi'ig Ohio for the Democratic ticket, and Carl Schurz, the late Greeley champion of liberalism, stumping for the Republican ticket, in Massachusetts, we see old Bcii Duller, and in Pennsylvania ex-Governor Curtin, belli musty old Radicals, siding with the Democratic inflationists. These are only a few of the singular sights presented in the American body politic. So we are not surprised to heat fro 1 the Chicar/o Tribune that Tilden, the Democratic Governor of New York, is seriously spoken of as the Republican candidate for the Presidency. ?Churlottc Observer.
