town fighting one to four--fighting, falling back, grimly giving way to fight again. We saw him strike the Federal armies right and left in the Valley, and fill Washington with white faces. We found him at Fredericksburg on Lee's right; at Chancellorsville in Hooker's rear; at Manassas behind Pope, on his flank, in his front. We have found him at Gaines's Mill. Fate waited for him before striking a last blow. It was the hammer in his grasp which shattered the Federal position. Without him n the roar of cannon died away the groans of the wounded reached a heart which had a throb for every groan. Partisans may keep their bitterness of heart, but the world has spoken. The man whom they hate died forgiving all. Struck down at Chancellorsville, amid the roar of battle, he was removed to die amid the softest peace. Strong men wept like children when they saw that his last hour had come; but if they had a feeling of revenge down under their sorrow, he had none. With malice toward

The Commercial complains that Sherman was not banquetted at Atlanta. Had Sherman possessed the decency of a well-bred dog, he would never have shown himself in Atlanta after the atrocities he there committed. A Northern view of the Prison Question. Colonel John F. Mines, a well-known journalist, delivered a lecture in Utica on Life in a Richmond prison, in the course of which he said: Heretofore a large portion of the Radical orator's method of firing the northern heart, lay in the plea of so-called barbarities on the part of the Confederates to their prisoners of war. Whenever a southern congressman rises in his seat to speak in behalf of his constituents, the cry of rebel brigadier is raised, and when a street fight occurs in Vicksburg or New Orleans, there is a cry of barbarities, and an echo of Ander

ral of one of the more distinguished of the Federal prisoners. A Federal soldier's opinion of Stonewall Jackson. M. Quad, in some very fair and unusually accurate sketches which he has been writing in the Detroit Free Press, says: In these sketches Stonewall Jackson's battles have been taken in reverse. We found him first on the blood-stained field of Antietam — almost at the close of his career, instead of at the beginning. The world knows how he fought there. We found him at Kernstown fighting one to four--fighting, falling back, grimly giving way to fight again. We saw him strike the Federal armies right and left in the Valley, and fill Washington with white faces.

It is a remarkable fact that while the male natives of the South have ceased to bear animosity toward the grim old warrioe went out of his way to exercise heartless cruelty. Sherman ordered the women and children in Atlanta to leave their homes within five days. The Mayor of the city appealed to Sherman for mercy, repsigned to meet the humanities of the case. At the end of five days the women and children of Atlanta were expelled from their houses and driven from the city, and before they had passed into the Ceen permitted to take with them.

Notes and Queries. [from the free Trader.] Sherman in Atlanta. It is a remarkable fact that while the male natives of the South have ceased to bear animosity toward the grim old warrior who left a black souvenir of Georgia forty miles wide and 300 long, the women, on the contrary, will never forget that Sherman burned their homes, and they uniformly refuse to regard him as anything else than an invader, and a despoiler.--Cincinnati Commercial. The women of the South would be lost to all decency and self-respect if they ever should look upon Sherman as anything else than an invader, despoiler and brigand. Sherman went beyond his legitimate duties to tyranize over helpless women and children; he went out of his way to exercise heartless cruelty. Sherman ordered the women and children in Atlanta to leave their homes within five days. The Mayor of the city appealed to Sherman for mercy, representing in piteous language the woe, the horror, the suffering, not to be des

Whenever a southern congressman rises in his seat to speak in behalf of his constituents, the cry of rebel brigadier is raised, and when a street fight occurs in Vicksburg or New Orleans, there is a cry of barbarities, and an echo of Andersonville.

The key to Confederate treatment of the Federal prisoners was found in the fact that they had very little for themselves, and gave the best they had to their prisoners. While the northern officer in the Richmond prison had his baker's bread three times a day, and his meat twice a day, the Confederate sentinel had only his corn cake and molasses, varied by a little meat occasionally. If the northern officer in his quarters felt the rude blasts of winter, his sentinel, clad in thin homespun, shivered like a leaf as the keen wind swept through his slight rags, and held out skeleton hands to
