Notice being called to the fact particularly, Sherman said, I mean just that; and gave his reason that it was the only way to have perfect peace. He had previously offered to furnish a vessel to take away any such persons as Mr. Davis might select, to be freighted with whatever personal property they might want to take with them, and
