William Tecumseh Sherman is the full name of the new military lion of the North. It must have been a prophetic instinct that induced his father to name the future desolator of Georgia after the most noted Indian chief employed by the British in the late war. Our readers remember the old doggerel,-- ‘ "Rumpsey Dumpsey,
Colonel Johnson killed Tecumseh."
’ Perhaps his namesake may meet the same fate at the hands of General Johnston.
