Cotrnplriioy Afjalnst Old "Toi'ump.1 Lord \Vol cloy , the British military critic nnd commander , has boon writing a sorlos of articles on thn Into General William Tpcura- soh Shorinan aivd his share in the civil war. in the lust Installment appears the following intorostint ; account of the origin of the oft- ropoatoil story which tended to question the unity of the great leader : bhorman was not destined to take part In any of McUlullnn's campaigns. About the ndddlo of August , ISO ! , ho was appointed to bo brigadlor-gonoral of volunteers in the de partment of the Cumberland. Ho rojoiccd , as ho told Mr. Lincoln , that his was to bo a subordinate position. Ills "oxtromo dcslro" was "in no event to ho loft In a supcriorcom- mand. " I have not road of any famous gen eral who was ai llrst so diflldcnt of his own powers and rapacity. Karly In Octoberthoro occurred what ho most droailod. The general commanding , worn by anxiety , resigned , ami ho had to take bis plaro as senior ofllcor , though , as ho says , "much agiilnst the grain , and in direct viola tion of Air Lincoln's ' promise to me. " Ho ronoweit his request to bo allowed to occupy his position , and was assured that General JJuoll would bo sent to rollovo him of his re sponsibility. At this tlmo General Sidney Johnson , a very able soldier , commanded the confed erate army nt Howling Green , and General XalllcolTi'r that at Somerset , both in the state of Kentucky. Why they did not join hands and take Louisville a very simple op eration it would Imvo been passes all com prehension. This was the condition of things when Mr. Cameron , the secretory of war , paid Sher man a visit. Much serious conversation took plaro as to the condition of things in Ken tucky , and Shormun told him , in the presence - once o ( sovend others , and at least ono news paper corro-ipoiidont , whom Mr. Cameron in sisted upon being present , that for the moro protection of his HiH ) miles of front ho required - quired ut least liU.iKX ) mon ; that if tbo rebel lion was to bo put down Itvai necessary to us MI mo the olTensivo , and for this purpose an army of " 00,000 mon would ba required. Bhurnmn's views were absolutely right , but this honest statement of them was not politi cally convenient. U did not than suit Mr. Cameron's party to acknowledge that any such enormous efforts would bit required before - fore the seceding states could bo brought back Into the union. Tim general who hold such vlow.s and did not boil- tate to nnnunciato thorn was not to bo tolorutod. It muttered nothing if these views worn trnoj it was not then politically convenient to recognlzo their truth. Sher man mutt , thcroloro , ba robbed of all public consideration , uo that bis opinion should bo generally regarded as valueless. Ho was , consequently , at once referred to mast allRbtlngly in the press and dubbed "insano and cnuy , " nuparently on the authority nnd by the connlvenco of the secretary of war. The Impulsion was carefully spread abroad thnt "tho cares , perplexities and anxieties of the situation had unbalanced his Judgment and mind. " Innlottorof November 4. 18(11 ( , Sherman said ha loft tbo fuuiro to decide whether bo bad or had not overestimated the number of union troops required to destroy all armed opposition in the valley of tbo Mis- isslppl It Is , perhaps , superfluous to add that tbu educated general was rlfht and the civilian secretary of war was wrong. lie winds up his olllcial report of November 0 , IMil , on"tno situation of affairs In the department of the Cumber land as follows : "Uo not conclude , as be- f01 o. thnt 1 exaggerate the facts. They am as stated , and the fnturn looks as dmlt as possible. It would bo better if some mrn of sauguiiio mind were hero , for I am forced to order according to my convictions. " The upshot of this cabal ugalnst him was his suporsosslon by Brigadier General Ruoll in the middle of November nnd his transfer to servo under General Hallcck in the depart ment of Missoutl. Hut oven hero the news papers followed him with statements "haiplug on his insanity. " His wife toolc alarm and wont to St. Louis to see him. With her ho returned homo on twenty duvs' leave , there being nothing doing with the army In this period of midwinter. ' 1 hose ii.- jnrmus and lylnir reports not only damaged his reputation but nflortcn hU health. ( Jon- em ! Ilnllook , under whom ho was serving at the time , reported to McC'lellan : "I am sat isfied that General Sherman's physical and mental system Is so completely broken by labor nnd care as to render him , for the present , unlit for duty. Perhaps a few weeks' lost may restore him. " A Ill-loric ; Kollo. Mr. C. II. Dillon of Colorado Springs is the possessor of a rare relic of the rebellion. It is a fragment of the confederate HagstafT raised at Charleston when South Carolina seceded from the union. Mr. Dillon was a member of Company O , First Now York engineers , under Lieutenant Kdwards , stationed on Morris Island In 1804-S.r ( > . Ho had charge of the night detail , The flag staff stood nt the corner of Mooting and Market streets , 110 feet high , nnd in ono of the inost conspicuous places In Charleston. In the early part of ISfu , Sherman was marchIng - Ing his conquering hosts from Savannvah northward back of Charleston. The battles of Honey Hill and Uo Vnulo's Nock had boon fought ami won by Sherman's army. Tlio foicos on Morris island crossed over nnd took possession of the birthplace of secession. Lieutenant Kdwards wanted the flagstaff taken down and removed to the > gonernl's headquarters. This was a dlfllcult task on account of the length of the polo nnd the nar rowness of the streets. Lieutenant. Kdwards was atalobs , when Mr Dillon volunteered to rcmova it. Ho succcdod In lowering it by a system of ropes and moved It to headquar ters. There it was raised again and painted , and from Its top unfurled the stars and stripes whore n few short hours before the stars and bars bad fluttered In the brcc/o. U ho polo was of Georgia hard plno. A sco- tlon was taken out , from which n few mom. uors secured relics , ono of which Is now in Colorado Springs , nnd could not bo purchased for ton times its weight in gold , bovoml itartlas have offered largo sums for it , but Mr. Ulllon tells thorn All that so long as Ins name is pcriwtnntod on earth tbo old rullo must bo a family heritage. Didn't Know tlio War Wno Over. According to n story In Albert Lawson's "War Anecdotes" the last confederate did not surrender until fifteen months after Ap- potnatox. On tbo morning of the fourth of July , IBM , tbo secretary ot war , who planned a fishing excursion to tbo Falls of the 1'oto- mc , received a telegram from the provojt marshal at Illchmond , saying that a squad of THAT HAS ANY 5EN5E , AND MANY THERE BE WE HOPE , V/ILL / 5PEND HER CENTS FOR A USERjTcAKEl OF FAIRBANKS-SANTA-GLAUS-SOAP' The extraction of teeth rendered Painless by using- the wonderful dis covery , a drug which , when locally ap plied , deadens all sensation to pain.

Knowing th.it joking of thut.sortould sub ject the porpelrator to court-murtlal , the sec-rotary hastened to the White House to consult President Johnson. The result was a tclecrram to the provost martial : "Who are they , and where did thov come from I" Answer was prompt and to the point : "Seigt. Towsbury and truard from Dismal Swamp. Did not know the war was over. " Aflor a good deal of laughter tlio provost marshal was ordered to receive their capitu lation , which was conducted in duo form. Towsbury. nn old Virxinl.ni , ordered his squad n coupio of Georgians to give up their guns nnd sign the papois , reserving himself as the last muii of all the confeder ate forces to surrender. " The old sergeant's description of tlio way ho found out the war was over wiu amusing. Ho and his companions hud been posted on thn cdgo of the swnmn to watch movements of the union troop- , from Norfolk , with orilorj to remain until relieved , und subsisted on gnmo nnd llsli for tlueo jours. At last hemet met nn old negro wtio told him the war had beer , over for about u year , which "tickled him hotter than if ho nud been kicked by a mulii , " as bo expressed it. A Votoi-nn of 1HI2. A benefit was tondorcd to General Abra ham Dally , a veteran of the war of 1813 , in the Twenty-fifth street Baptist church , Now Vork , recently. The ugod soldier was seat ed on the platform clothed in a Continental uniform. When Introduce 1 to the 100 per sons who hnd paid S5 cents ouch to see him , ho was helped to his feet iiy Captain Johh Norman nnd Lieutenant Foster. Dolling his cocked hut ho walked ft-obly to the platform and said In a voice audible to every ono In tlio building : "Ladles and Gentlemen I nm now ninety- sl < c years old very nearly the oldest muii liv ing. I carried arms against Great lirltuln , ami wo cndod the light gloriously for this country , and the British have never troubled us since thnt tlmo.

" Two continentals seized the veteran's arms and led him tottering down the stops of the platform to tbo middle nlslo of the c'uirch , while tbo flfo and drum corps played "Tbo Kcd , White nnd Hluo. " The veteran was placed in a carrlugo drawn by two white horses and driven to tbo sldu of his dead boy ut IS Maujor street , Brooklyn. Captain Norman said : "Tho general lias often told mo ho uovor expected to raise thnt boy. " Kniiiiirratlon of Votcrnns. Commander Vcazoy of the G.
