Utuoral Shennau'd lettsr is ad- ressou to the secretary of war under the data f January ( i.

Sher- ittu continues : "Again , in l&lil , when wu vere in possession 01 Atlanta , Ga. , I saw fa- nlliarly a great number of gentleman of that tate , with whom I conversed freely. They poke openly and unreservedly of the tyranny t' the conlederata authorities in Hichmoml and of Davis particularly. " * * * * 5en. Sherman inserts tde latter of Alex , itephons. In the letter Stephens doubted Fell Davis1 good intentions , and tmapectod lim of inclining towards tha dictatorship. Ho ihows that In ISO I Davis suspected Stephens ind 13rown of disloyalty to him , and that the confederacy had ceasedtobetho confederacy of the sovereign etatea. He produces an odi- ; orial from a paper published as the organ of 7elT Davlf , entitled "State sovereignty ilaycd out. " lie cites numerous Instances to how that Davis was establishing a despotism. Speaking of the Appomotax ho says he re- : eived a loiter from Uovernur Voncu by the ame commissioners and cpntinuea : 'The commie - mie ioners Bald ta mo without rcssrve that vhen Governor Vance dispatched them from laleigh to my camp at Uulley'g ho wanted to nako terms witli the state , und afterwards bat he was afraid of Jclf Davis. At Knlulgh , hough a mass ot public records had been car- ied elf , yet a number wcru left behind at the tate huiue , and at tliu governor' * ) mansion , jalltd the 'palace , ' in JCalcigh , was a clerk's or uecretrtry's 'copy book' outlining ooso aheets and letter ? , among which was tha particular letter of Davis" to which I referred n my St. Louis 'speech ' I gave. It little at- .ention . at tha time because Davis was then limself n fugitive , and i-is opinions had little or no importance ; but it exolalned to uiy mind why Goveinor Vance , after sending tone no tliu commissioners to treat for his hUte icparatoly , had not awaited my answer. It vns the tubject of common talk about my leadqunrters ; or , as stated by Colonel Day- on In recent letter to mo from Cincinnati , 1 am sure we generally thonght ; it wai the desiio of Governor Vance and the state odi ilala to take North Carolina out of the con ederaey as I had stated , but they were afraid > f JeifoiBoa Davis and wanted protertion ' " General Shetmanthensayshewi'snever per- Bouallv acxuainted with Davis , and reviews .he lattor's tecord as the cause for hia ( Slier- inu'j ) prejudicecgainst him.

Special telegram to THE BEK. UKIILIN , January 10. Minister Kassou in'an ntcrview gave the following poiutu regarding lis participation in tha Congo conference as .ho . American representative , which has led to so much criticism : "The recent comments of f the Now Yosk press on the participation of .ho . United States in the African conference and respecting the conference has caused aomo amazement among those familiar with the : nct9. One New x"ork journalist , George William Curtis , in Harper s Weekly , speaks of a congrest to regulate the interior dlapoai- tion of another continent ; also of a proposi tion to guarantee | the inviolability the for eign territory. " Whan Kasson's attention was called to those articles hi ; eald they wera void of all foundation ; in fact , no such propositions liavo been mads or even suggested in the con ference. The United States plenipotentiary could never consent to such proceeding , and a single government could defeat It if offered. It is , In fact , outside of the sphere of the conference ferenco and its action. Not a soldier , or sailor , or a dollar of the United States is or can be pledged directly or indirectly for use in Africa. Not a boundary , or a post , or an aero of tha territory is or can ba Disposed of in Africa by the conference. It is not oven in discussion that a guaranty by the United States in any form or any subject exists or will bo permitted to eiiat. It is simply a question of equal tights of commerce and civilization to bj conceded by the possessory powers to the non-possessory powers and people ple in the interest of the future peace and de velopment of the country. It is not a congress , but a conference , having no final authority , and whoae action h.ai no force until approved by the homego ] vernmenta , and its action so faris especially in the interest of the non-poaseoaory and cojntrles. Each non-colonizing govern ment pledges only itself to respect the princi ples adopted , not to rnako.otbcrsrcspectthem. It willbeconclusively plainsays K8S3onwhen the correspondence shall bo published , that the American policy , instead of having been mnb rrasied , has been strengthened by the American participation in the settlement of questions of common interest for all. There is nu pretense of binding anybody except the governmnnts which Blull voluntarily uccept the declaration ol the conference. The conference - ferenco Is ashnriniesi to the American tradi tional policy as " was the Helgian conference upon the Scheldt navigation , that of Paris upon tbo international policy , or that cf Washington upon the prime meridian ; in all which the United States took a part and two of which were aisembled at their request.

Maj Byrne , In a forcible manner , asks the Americans and the moro Influential class ol the Irish race in America to interest them- eelves in the movement , which ho thinks wil lift the Irish question to a higher piano and place it beyond personal or political use ir this country.

IVANSAS CITT , January 10. The wife of Captain Phelan left this morning for Now York , to join her husband. Shu boars the trial with great fortitude , I'liolan Ia described as a man of remarkable courage , quick tem- ucr and fond of notoriety , At ono time ha traveled about the country giving exhibitions of bis skill as a marksman. His visit to New York was the result of a recent interview , published hero , but opinions differ aa towhoth- , er ho wont in rosponuo to summon ; , or for purposes of his own. It la generally nuppoieil , however , thatthcro was somo.misunderatand- intc regarding the interview , ho desired to clear up. The interview with Cniitain 1'holan pub lished in the Journal of this city , December 21 , ia devoted chiefly to the relation of a plot to blow up a steamer and a description of the manner of manipulating n dynamite machine ; . The story told by Thclon is substantially as follows : "In June , 1883 , ho made a voyage to Europe to secure information which would prevent the extradition of P. J. Sheridan , the Irish agitator , and hia removal to Kpgland. IIo visited Paria and accomplished 1m mis sion. Meanwhile , however , the llrititli gov ernment abandoned the elicit to extradita Sheridan and the matter wai dropped. Con tinuing the story Phcian said , before leaving Now York he mot a number of Irlstt agitators , among them John P. Kearney , who blew up the Caledonian railway station nt Glascow , and afterwards escaped to America. 1'hclan eailod to Belgravia and Kearney was to follow three days later in the Queen , and thov were to meet in Kdinlmrg. I'helan asked Kearney why ho had not carried out the plot. The latter replied that ho had placed a sullicleiit quantity of dynamite to blow up the pyramids in the vessel'ti hold , but when she got to Liverpool she anchored in the dtream , the pneBCiigore were taken elF in a tender. Kearney was not permitted to go into the hold , to came away leaving In the vessel fifteen pounds of dynamite , which would prob ably explode two weeks Inter and imperil hun dreds oflivoj. Phelan then determined to go to Liverpool and warn the officora nd learned they had received a cable message from Now York fifteen rnlnutea after the vessel landed describing the plot. which led to the dlncovery of the explosive and saving the vessel. Pliolan re mained n day or two iu Liverpool aware that lie was being constantly shadowed by duteo- tivoa. Ho w B approached by Inspector Mash of Liverpool , Head Constable Murphy of Ireland , and also Mr. Jenkinum , who had charge of the criminal ( prosecutions in Ire land , all of whom tiied to get him into thu service of the government. They told him the names of Hevoral pretended patriots who \vcru working for the government and ho began - gan to HOO how the authoritioa secured Bomu of their information. Hu could no conjoc- tnro how they discovered thu Queen plot , an Kearcey said it was known only to Kosea , Kearney and hiuifaelf. Hi' supposed eom i ono droppeU upon Kearney's pinna In Now York , Concluding his narrative , Phelan said ho was finally permitted to leave Liverpool. When 1m arrived at Glasgow ho found his valise had been broken open and Kuarchi-d , done , ho thought , by a man who in troduced himself in Edinburgh aa Jamea Pow ers , and whom Phelnn bolloved waa a liritieh detective , whs had shadowed him from New York and endeavored to get into his confi dence , Kearney had to lay very low , but Phelan finally succeeded in getting him out of Kngland by < liFgul iiig hiin elf as Kearney und throwing the oll'icei * elf the track , Tha captain also described the mechanism of the deadly battery. The machine in simple , but works with fat l precision , It consists of a reservoir of acid which drop upon a tuba enveloped in sheets of tisaua paper. It takes a inln- nto for the acid to oat through each hheet of paper. When the lat > t sheet is eaten through the acid inns down the tulmand upon the percueaion cap beneath , and then thu ex plosion follows. The machine is noiseless ami almost infallible is its working a terrible in jury. Speaking of himself , thu captain aaid1 , ho was a dynamiter , out-and-out , belonged to tholiinh national eociety mid WAS obedient to their call , having1 participated In many of their plots for terrorizing the Ktiglioh govern ment. Hu determined to return to Liverpool and save thu "Queen , * ' In order to protect thu lives < jf hundreds of people , who would fail en the next voyage , many of these his own race of men , women and children , going to join friends in America WASHINGTON , Januajy 10.
