Hint It was of that character. (Icneral Slier-

D.nis personally, (icneral Sherman had
by imitation attended a icunlen of an
army pest and In the eouise of some
impromptu icniarkH, as icperted by the
newspniers, perhaps eerieetly enough, said
he regarded Davis us net only u lebel hut a
conspirator, and that he had seen certain let

hScnaler Sherman proceeded te assail in
verv immlstnknble lnuguage the theory that
Jolferseii Davis wus u man of liener and a
patriot. Ills declaration Hint the papers tilled

Fer the purpose or preventing legislation hi
llie interests of the I'lilted States govern

but traitors te nud conspirators against their

for Ocuenil Sherman or inore respect for his
military Hjgaelty or genius than had Mr. n

by Ids feelings mid by misinformation Inte
an allegation and charge ngnmst Mr. Jell'er Jell'er
heii Davis which he could net sustain, which
no man could ever sustain and iv hlch was net

Anether disadvantage the Iiiicaster farmer
labors under with his 'si crop is that the lute
cuttings show unmistakable evidence or irntc
or very Uijhf vein. This condition of the leaf
Is Mid te Ik.' owing te the intensely het
weather of last Spplpiuber, which caused the

drawbacks the coniietilieu of Sumatra lent

stagnation of all branches of business, ami
the uncertainty us le the repc.il of tlie inter

mid few business men realized large returns
from their Investments or lnlsirs. With ref
erence te the Interests Included In the above

unfavorable oue from the bcglunlug tn llie

of leal were net adapted le the wants of
tnidesiuen, that cigar in-iniif.u-turers diil net

Sumatra leaf liail ls-cn fiecly consumed In
coms.-lltleii with domestic leaf; but these
points nil conceded would net account for
the general lotsenod demand for seed leaf
any niore Hum ler Hie diminished inquiry Ter
ether varieties of leliacis) and ether liiercm liiercm
tlle commodities. Tlie vcir was dull every
where and for everything, almeit : and that
Is the simple f.u-t, without further com
ment. Iu 1SHI the rejieitcit mIim of seed leaf In
the New Yerk market amounted te 7 1,707
cases ; iu lsil the rc)nrtcil sales vv ere 1 1 l,"iT7

Our opinion is that tlie crop of 1SSI netted
at least ii),(M) e.ises. The iicrcage was the
largest ever planted iu seed leaf, but the pre pre

reduces the bulk of the harvest. The season
was propitious, and It is generally believed
Hint the aggregate eropei lssl will prove it
serviceable one.
