i?KBi AXl) INK SKETCH OF OKA'. SHE K.MAX. An army correspondent gives tlis h>llowiiig description or' (ion. Sherman, as he appeared in Kingston, Ga., a tew day3 i O'.iru <1 r .lit Ilia irfi'llt PVItl>lll)l.)ll ..V.W.V. UvjMUUlg vyw ..w W....... . j Newspaper correspondents are nsunlly very sliv of Sherman, owing to the mistaken impression that he is the sworn enemy of the whole Bohemian fraternity.' I confess that until Friday night I feareil Sherman almost us much as his SaUuie ; majesty, f.ud many a time have I taken [ refuge behind some well-dressed staff j officer, lest Sherman's eagle eye should j detect my citizen suit, and his austere voice order me to leave his lines, uot-; withstanding I carried Grant s pass in i my pocket, and had given no aid and ' comlprt to the enemy. The other night, ' however, I was entrapped, and, with no , line of retreat open, I braced myself for the charge. Sitting in the tent of two of ^ his gentlemanly start', listening to the en- j livening music of Col. Humbright's Lan- ; caster, Penn., Band, who were serenad-: ing the General, before I was aware ofI the close proximity of the Chieftain, whose wrath I so much feared, one of the ; ?nrl?l *nlr presented himself at the entrance; and addressing me, I moved to j the entrance, when there immediately j stood before me the terror of newspaper ! correspondent* ? Major-Geu. Sherman I 44 (General, permit me to make you acquainted with Capt. remarked j the Aid; and before I had time to recov-: er Irom my astonishment, the General j ? had extended liis left hand, which I j grasped, and a moment alter, we were 1 sitting in the tent, engaged in as social conversation as though we had been acquainted for years. The moment ray palm touched that of Sherman, ami his voice uttered, " I am delighted to meet you," all terror and embarrassment disappeared, and I sat there for half an hour, listening to his compliments of the band, 1 liis laconic replies to business papers presented for endorsement, and his clear ideas upon every subject referred to.? Sitting there beneath the canvas lent, which wes lighted up by a crackling tire j burning at the entrance, I had an excellent chance to study that strange genius whose word decides the destinies of more than one state, and to whose fiat every bayonet yields submission. The General sat in an army chair, over Ilia back of 1 which one arm hung down; his small j piercing eyes, one moment gazing upon j the ruby tiames, the next peering into j the darkness beyond, as thbugh striving I to see the lungs lrotn which the exquisite j music ol the band issued- The Adjutant General presents a paper lor endorsement. Sherman's eyes lull; in au instaut he kuows its contents, and before he has refolded it, his lips dictate the endorsement, which Capt. Dayton's admirable business practise enables him to comprehend at ouco. Sherman's eyes once more peer out: his ear is turned to catch the clear music of the opera of the Three Shepherds; his head seen is to move involuntarily in hannony with the notes; the simple remark " beautiful,'' escapes him ; Uis eyes drop to the tloor?rest tucre tor a moment so intently that one supposes he is sketching a four month's campaign in liis great mind?the eyes are raised abruptly, and he utters a few brief words that show us he loves music and has a verr nice discrimination between good t and bad. lie detects every error and j follows it bj a nervons twitch of the body | that shows it does not n-st pleasant on his I ear. In conversation, he 1^quick, social j aud winning; conveying an idea in a ven* few words; never experiences embarrass- , ment in bis selection^' words tr? give his j thoughts expression, and in language so ' clear that no one can well misunderstand j him. He is indeed a remarkable man: j l.io opoa into ?n mnrp in one instant than ! most men's do in a mouth. In his pies- j euce half an hour, a visitor is almost con-! strained to believe that Sherman lms as ! many minds as a clock has wheels, all conforming to the mechanism of the grand ' whole, but each thiuking for its individual self. His is a strange organization, ; that few men can fully understand, but J one that all who meet him are certain to 1 admire and wonder at. General Sherman a few davs ago; wrote to his father-in-law, Hon. Ihouias F.wiug, that he was the loader of the bravest und best army that wvtr marched American soil. i i JOSH JJILLIXUS AN*\?AS:tS HIS CORll&SPOXD&Ms. QUcht?I luver have visited the Mor motis, but niv friend Artemus War.l has, ' nnil he tells trie they are a healthy people, i and fond ov feuwil society.

If that ; didn't seem tew inliuense me, I would issue proposals tew the lowest bidder to j be led for one year on bran bred and slip- ; pery eliu tea. 11 that didn't seem tew intluen.se me, I would sell my house and ; lot, and invest the proceeds in pat tent j medisin. and take the whole lot in rota- | shun. If that didn't scorn tew inflnensc me, I would cum tew the konklusion j that I had the water brash, or some other j d >h thing, I didn't rare which, and take a job ov thrashing out wet rye for ; evry tenth bushel, aud git?well.

ADVENTURE WITH A BENGAL TIGER. Just as daylight was failing us, and while we were still a couple of miles from [ camp. I observed a troop of monkeys ; crowded together on a trek which overhung a clump of long grass, bouuding : from branch to branch in a state of great i agitation, screaming,chattering, aud mak- j ing hideous grimaces, as if half eurageil j and half terrified at the sight of some ob- ! ject beneath them. 44 What is the matter with the monkeys ?" 1 inquired ot my guide in Hin- i dostanee. 44 It is a tiger, probably," he replied, puffing away at his cheroot with perfect ! coolness, and striding along as if it were 1 all a matter ot course. 44 The devil it is I" said I, thunderstruck j at the coolness ol the young nwcal; for ; the path we were pursuing being bounded | on I'Acli side hv imoonetrabiu iuiiirie. ; obliged us lo pass witliiu a few yards of the haunted thicket; and cocking both.1 barrels of my rilie, 1 stepped out at my best pace to escape from the dangerous i ueighborbood as quickly as possiole. We bad just passed the thicket, and ! were making a short turn round the end i of it, where, to my utter dismay, 1 lound J my&elf tace to lace, and within twenty j yards of a royal tiger busily engaged in tearing up the carcase of a wild boar he had just killed. My hair almost st ?oJ on end as the brute "raised his enormous ! bead, smeared with blond, and glared upon us with his malignant greeu eyes, i Mohadefu dropped his cheroot, and remained motionless us a statue, witu his keen rye stvadily fl v~! o.i ina'. ?<;' i .

No softner was his back turned, than Mohadeen, clapping his hands to his mouth, sent forth that peculiar wild yell which appears to strike j terror to the heart, of the most savage ani- ' mal, and we instantly heard the stealthy ; tread ?rt" the tiger change to a rapid gallop, tis he lied in dismay from that un- j earthly cry. " \Vehave made him cat dirt,"remark- j ed the young savage, coolly picking up i his cheroot, replacing it in the corner of ; his mouth, and walking off as il nothing remarkable had happened.
