e .11 r t r) FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1865. A LEAF OF HISTORY. Important Letters Between Generals Grant t;iad Sherman, what Each thought Of awl:Puler when the Lieutenant oeneralshia was Reereated. The following two historleal letters are taken from the advance sheets of Colonel Bowman's history of " Sherman and his Cam paign," shortly to be published by C. B. Rich pr4son, of Now York, Colonel Bowman writes; GENERAL GRANT TO GENERAL SHERMAN On the 4th of March, 1864, at Nashville, Major General Grant received telegraph orders to report in person at WashingtonL Congress bad passed an act authorizing the appoint ment of a Lieutenant General to command the armies of the United States, and the President, had nominated General Grant for the appoint- Ment. Before starting on his journey, Grant pelzed his pen, and in the very moment of his greatest elevation, filled with generosity to ward those others, to whose exertions he mod. catty chose to itSeribe WS own amervoa re. - ward, hastily wrote these touching lines: "Dzelienita3lA7c: The bill revivingthe grade of Lieutenant General in the army has become a law, and my name has been sent to the Se nate for the place. I now receive orders to re port to Washington immediately in person, which indicates a confirmation, or a likelihood of confirmation. "I start in the morning to comply with the order.l "Whilst I have been eminently successful in this war, in at least gaining the confidence of the public, no one feels more than I how much of this success is due to the energy, skill, and the harmonious putting forth of that energy and skill, of those whom it has been my good Sunnite to have Occupying subordinate posi lions under me. "There are many officers to whom these re- Inarks are applicable, to a greater or less de gree, proportionate to their ability as 501- d iers but what I want is to express my thanks to you and AlePherson,as the men to whom, above all others, I feel indebted ter whatever have had of success. "How far your advice and assistance hav'e been of help to me, you know. How far your execution of whatever has been given you to do entitles you to the reward I am receiving, 3-ou cannot know as well as I. "I feel all the gratitude this letter would ex press, giving it the most flattering construc tion. " The word you I use in the plural, intending it for McPherson also. 1 should write to him, and will some day, but starting in the morn ing, I do not know that I will find time just now. Your friend, "U. S. GRANT, Major erelteral." Sherman received this letter near Memphis lon the 10th of Ai arch and immediately-replied "DEAR GENERAL I have your more than'kind rind characteristic letter of the 4th instant. I will send a copy to General McPherson at Duce. "You do yourself injustice and us too much lonor in assigning to us too large a share of the merits which have led to your high ad vancement. I know you approve the friend phip I have ever professed to 3 - ou, and will permit me to continue, as heretofore, to maul lest it on all proper occasions. " You are now IVashington's legitimate suc cessor, and occupy a position of almost ;dangerous elevation ; but if you can con tinue, as heretofore, to be yourself, simple, honest and unpretending, you will enjoy through life the respect and love of friends, .tind the homage of millions of human beitioN that will award you a large share in securing lo them and their descendants a government iof law and stability. " I repeat, you do Gen, 'McPherson and my. Pelf too much honor. At Belmont you mani fested your traits—neither of us being, near. -At Donelson, also, you illustrated your whole character. 1 was not near, and Gen. MoPher pon in too subordinate a capacity to influence you. "Until you bad won Donelson, I confess I was almost cowed by the terrible array of anarchical elements that presented them :selves at every point; but that admitted a ray or light I have followed since. "I believe you are as brave, patriotic and just as the great prototype, Washington—as mnselfish, kind-hearted and honest as a man be—but 'the chief characteristic is the Eimple faith in success you have always mani fested, which I can liken to nothing else than Ile faith a Christian has in the Saviour. This faith gave you victory at Shiloh and "Vicksburg. Also, when you have completed your preparations, you go into battle without hesitation, as at Chattanooga—no doubts, no reserves; and I tell you, it was this that made vs act with confidence. I knew, wherever I vas. that Ton thought of me, and if I got in a right place you would help me out, if alive. "My only point of doubt was, in your know ledge of grand strategy, and of books of Science and history 5 but, I confess, your corn anon sense seems to have supplied allthese. Now as to the future. Don't stay in Wash in gto4 ; come West; take to yourself the - IA - hole' Mississippi Valley. Let us make it dead sure, and I tell you the Atlantic slopes and the Pacific shores will follow its destiny, as sure as the limbs of a tree live or die with the main trunk. We have done much, but still Much remains. Time and time's influences are with us. We could almost alford to sit still and let these influences work. " Here lies the seat of the comincomingempire ; and from the West, when our task is done, we %ill make short work of Charleston and Rich mond, and the impoverished coast of the At an tic. Your sincere friend." Public Amusenatents. ACADENT or Music.—Marge and fashionable audience greeted the reappearance of Mr. and 31rs. Charles Kean yesterday evening. The play of "Henry the Eighth," which Mr. Grant White thinks was Shakspeare's latest produc tion (written at Stratford in 1613), was razded into three acts—the fall of Wolsey being the finale. There is -no occasion to criticise any but the two leading performers, but justice compels us to say that Mr. Mayo, who has at tained his reputation in California, rendered the character of blug King Hall judiciouslyand effectively—his make-up, after the well•lcnown portrait byMobein, was excellent : that Mr. J. Y. Cathcart and Mr. Geo. Everett respectively represented Thomas Cromwell and Lord Surrey in a satisfactory. .manner, and that—in voice, !emphasis, and action—the part of the Duke of Euekingham was made the comic character of the piece. Mrs. Kean played Queen Katherine in a manner which may be pronounced mose respectable than superior. She has a line presence, for the gliding years have matured leer into a comely and buxoin matron, but her Voice haslost some of its old sweetness. It is impossible, however, that she could lose the fine judgment which made her the favorite actress we recollect her as, and, therefore, giale sustained the part of Katherine in a generally satisfactory manner. Her ap peal to the King, in the trial-scene, was effective, and -touching in its tender pa --0.61.--The great point, "To yau I speak, Lord Cardinal," of which, t radition tells us, Mrs. ;Siddons made so much, was not delivered 'with sufficient power; we think, in short, that Mrs. Kean does not play this character as Well as Madame Ponosi tlOts, Of Mr. Kean our judgment is far more favorable. He looked the great Churchman, and yet his ''make-up" was of the simplest. He reserved jihnself for the last act, the construction of me play permitting it, and achieved. a striking success. His bye-play was won derfully good. The well-known soliloquy, coretnaleingi oFarewell 1 a long fare -well to all my greatness, ,, was cer tainly one of the finest pieces of elocution We ever heard, and when ended a cordial round Of applause, simultaneously given from all parts of the house, acknowledged its excel lence. Mr. Kean retains most of his old man nerisms, and there is the old hitch in his pro nunciation, and the occasional bark to break the monotones of his voice; but he manages these peculiarities with Such singular skill that one almost forgets them- Ile has almost 'wholly lost the frequent hiss in his utter- Once, which used to be unpleasant. -In short, 'jig is a fine actor, who has become so by practice, perseverance, and great study. Col man's comedy of "The Jealous Wife," out dOWn into an afterpiecei followed the play. Mr. Kean took the part of Mr. Oakley, Mrs. Kean that of Mn.e Oakley. Those who recol lect how well Mr. Kean used to play Don Felix in Mrs. Ceutlivre's Portuguese play, could not leave been surprised by the ease and natural ness with which he rendered the part of Mr. Oakley. .As the Jealous Wife, Mrs. Kean made Several fine points, but as a whole, we cannot say that she is equal to Mrs. Drew in this part. n'o-morrow evening, she will play Portia in The Merchant of Venice," to her husbancPs iShylock, and the character will suit her present capabilities better than either of those she represented last night. CHESTICUT•STREET THEATRE—The melo•dra 7na of "Monte Cristo," founded on Dumas , Veil -- 00i D tetnallCe i has been reViyed ;it this theatre, and put upon the stage in a very at tractive manner. The masquerade scene' is particularly /splendid and successful, its peenie and other effects being increased by the performances of a full and excellent corps de ballet As a spectacular piece " Monte Cristo," as played here, has rarely been equal led. Miss Orton, who is at once very pretty And very talented—better, in fact, than half of Vie so-called "stars," who " Keep theword ofpromiseto the ear And break it to the hope,"" is cast in a part to which she does justice. It appears to us, merely " a looker-on in Venice," 'before the scenes, that the manager has made a mistake in not putting Mr. G. H. Clarke into the part of Mottle Cristo, instead of Mr. Mor daunt. The Count, as drawn by Dumas, is a gentleman of - varied accomplishments, ex tremely attractive in manner, elegant in per eon—altogether a sort of human chef d'oeuvre, rarlacn nature and education have combined to Snake perfect. Mr. Mordaunt is too " heavy" tor such a part, though he plays very well when a eharatiter suits him and he suite the Character. His face is deficient in expression, pis figure is too rotund, his voice is too harsh, and his manner angular whenn is not brusque. lir, Clarke. on the contrary, has a line voice, Isis face is han d som e and expressive, his action graceful and his figure light. He is a good actor, too. and of this we would desire no bet xer the able manner with which ,he played CopluittSalan in " The Angel of Mid xight." It bas been said that Mr. Clarke is tiellelent in force; we cannot say, because we have never seen him in a character in which his was called upon to be forcible. He is one of our most promising actors ; and if he be as young as lie looks on the stage, and take pains to advance in his profession, by 'thoughtful Ittudy—trying to play a poor part as if it wore a great one—cannot fail, ere long, to stand very high in his profession. • WAIdiUT-STEBET BOwers, we beg to remind her friends, will take a benefit this evening. Her engagement has been very successful. On the whole, (though the drama. tic version which she plays is a misera ble paste-and-scissors manufacture, in which many of the novelist's line points are onlittea or spelled,) Aire. Bowers has been most sue cesEtu/ in `lEast Lynne." After seeing her in the duplicated character of Lady Isabel and Madame Tine, one wonders at the miserable taste of audienees who could admire the ex aggerations and affectations of Lucille West ern. In a small part in this play Miss Effie Germon, who hits grown somewhat eareless of late, shows a great deal of natural ability. If she would only study, so as thoroughly to un dcrstand and - deliver the dramatist's thoughts, ' she would be one of the best, - as she is among the prettiest soubrettes on the stage. In " East Lynne," too, Mr. John McCullough renders the part of Ili% aertyle with a great deal Of judgment. Mr. Barton Hill, as Sir .Pranqis Levison, shows that another besides Mr. Lauer gan (who played. it here, two years ago), can make this non-descript character effective. In his hands, the fascinating, well-dressed, easy .mannered, cold-blooded heartless man of fashion is rendered to the life. It is a mere sketch in the novel and in the play, but he fills it up with consummate ability, and succeeds in avoiding over-acting, with strong tempta tions to fall into it. There is a rumor that/ lifter the close of Mrs. Bowers' engagement' Mr. Barton Hill is to leave Walnut-street Theatre. All we would say is, that, instead of diseardinl, right-bower? which Mr. B. Hill certainly is, the manager would do well to strengthen his hand by getting a few more trumps into it. The stoat eompaay at this theatre, instead of being weakened by parting with its bestperformer, ought be strengthened by the addition of a clever leading lady and of an " old-woman" actress, Where so much competition prevails, a theatrical company can scarcely be too strong. ARCH-STREET THEATRE.—Mrs. I% W. Lander's engagement terminates this week, and she has a benefit this evening. The company at this theatre is undoubtely the best in the city—not equalled in New York, except at Wel lack,s theatre. Mrs. Drew exercises the at, _ . most liberality also, In the manner in which the performances. here are placed upon the stage. Mrs. Lander will have a tollhouse this evening, and merits public favor on personal as well as upon professional grounds. Her grievously afflicted by the war, in which her gal/ant husband perished...all but the memory of a brave man and true patriot—she fulfilled, at the bed-side of our wounded warriors, that part of woman's mission in which humanity is moat actively employed. Mr. and Mrs. : Barney Williams, who succeed Mrs. Lander at this theatre, appear on Mon. day. The public may safely calculate on having a few weeks; hearty laughter with and at "the Yankee gal" and "the Irish boy." We give thepas to the lady—first, because sheis a lady, and next because she was the first to play the "native American" parts, in which she has never had an equal. On dit, that Bar ney Williams has added several now and aree, tive plays to his repertoire, Willett will be pro duced during this engagement. Truth to say' a few novelties would not be unwelcome, though, no doubt, the public would continue to laugh at the accustomed performances. NEW AMERICAN THEATRE.—We suspect that Mr. Fox is making a great deal of money in this second Walnut-street Theatre. The per• formances can scarcely be quoted as belonging altogether to the " legitimate " drama, but they are very good of their sort, and draw crowded houses. The plays for this evening are "Handsome Jack," in which dashing Miss Fisher plays what is called a " breeches" part, that of George Wader, and plays it well, too. Then there is an interlutle of dancing, after which the farce of " Life in India." In this the chief comic characters are Tont 2hpc and Salty Scruggs. Mr. S. Bemple, as the former, gives us a lively and rather broad performance—. laughable enough, but Hemple all over. Every part he plays is liemple. The costume makes the principal difference. As Tbm 21tpe, however, he varied it somewhat, though his imitations are but middling. Miss Nellie John son, who is very pretty, has not begun to have a correct idea how the part of Sally Scraggs should be played. Tomorrow afternoon, as a matinee performance, "The French Spy on Horseback," - will be given. Miss Fisher's ape °laity is in the equestrian line, and she is very attractive in the saddle. By the way, the au diences at this house are adtlirable listeners, while whO do not sanction private conversation any performer is speaking. MtsicAL FUND Harr.—The concert at this hall, last evening, was devoid of the o-vzvontOCl chief attrectieo—the singing of Master itichard Coker. Master C. had contracted a very se vere cold whilst on his way from New York, and was, therefore, unable to appear. The tickets were returned to those present, and an announcement made that the concert would be given this evening, in the • same place. So that our citizens will not be deprived of hear ing this wonderful youth. ENGLISH PIcTomALs.--Fromlllr. J. J. Kromer, 403 Chestnut street, we have the illustrated London Now of September 30th, the Illustrated News of the 'World of. same date, and the News of the Phrld of October let. THE CITY. THE GRAND CRICKET MATCH FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP. The Philadelphians Viotc>rioxis Yesterday the grand contest at cricket, be tween the Philadelphia Clnb, of this city, and the St. George's Club, of New York, was finished, the Philadelphians winning. The game was closely contested throughout. The excitement has been very great since it was announced that these clubs, the first in the United States, were to play, and decide be tween them which should be the champion club of the North American continent. . . . _ Feeling has run high upon the subject, and many of the friend of the clubs were ready to stake large amounts of money on the suc cess of their favorite organizations. Bets were freely offered and as freely taken, and a considerable amount of money must have changed hands. The result, however, has been DO surprise , except to the New - Yorkers and their friends, who thought that nothing good could come out of what they were pleased to term a village. They have been fairly and honorably beaten in two games, and Phila delphia may now pride herself upon being first not only in base ball but in cricket, also. The genie closed on Wednesday with a score Of 79 to 07, the Philadelphians taking the highest number. Yesterday Messrs. Hatfield and Mumford opened the game, with Messrs. Barclay and George Wright as bowlers. Mr. Minnford was soon deprived of his bat, and was followed by Mr. Gibbes with Harry Wright as bowler, scoring 9 in magnificent style, when he, too from force of circum stances, dropped thebat. Mr. S. Wright fol lowed and was caught out, but not until the score of the St. George had been considerably increased. • Kendall followed and scored 10, when he was put out by Large. Harry Wright followed, making a score of 43,. and was suc ceeded by Mr. Megrath, who finished with 9, making the total score of the New Yorkers 91. Notwithstanding all this the Philadelphians were confident of victory, and went to their work in splendid style. The gentlemen from the Metropolis were jubilant, and fully relied on taking their own ball and another one .to Gotham, but they soon found out that their hopes were vain. The most noticeable scores made by the Phi ladelphians were 17 by Barclay and 20 by .7-ar ils, Who was still ready when gamefwas call ed and the wickets were drawn by the umpire. The game was decided for the Philadelphians, and the New Yorkers gracefully yieided the ball. The following is the score of the game ST. GEORGE, Hatfield, b. Barclay. Myanford, b. Barclay Gibbes, b.

Philadelphia First innings 57 79 Second innings 01 • Thus ended the most closely contested game of cricket, we believe, that has ever been played in this eity.4ll CANINE SAoAcrry.—A short time ago, while a gentleman of our acquaintance was gunning in the lower part of the city, in com pany with a friend having a small spaniel with him, the dog, while endeavoring to jump over a well, miscalculated the distance and Tell in. The surface of the water was about seven feet below the top of the well. The dog swam around until nearly exhausted, and our friend thought thathe was about to lose a valuable animal, when the other gentleman noticed that he was making frequent but vain attempts to Catch a twig thathlang a abort distance down the well. Thi. suggested to him the idea - of making the animal's sagacity the means of sa ving his life. The handkerchiefs and neckties of both parties were instantly called into re. quisition and tied together. A small knot was made at one end, which was let down to the dog, when he immediately serzed it in his mouth and holding on with grim tenacity was drawn out of the water and landed safely on terra firma. Ills pleasure was extreme, and he testified it as only a dog can. He wagged his tail until it was impossible to count the vibra tions, so rapid were they, and he shook himself until the water flow olf in every direction, And so was a dog's life saved by his sagacity. ON WEDNESDAY EYENINqr an adjourned stated meeting of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion was held in the Supreme Court room. A number of gentlemen were elected members, and the names of others were re ferred to a committee of investigation into their record. This organization Is very popu• lar, and district coommanderies are about being organized at Lancaster, Norristown and flex riihurg. Its object is most laudable—that of cementing the friendships made in the service and perpetuating a military .feeling in the old comrades-in-arms. Numerous distinguished officers of the army and navy have joined, and upon its roster are found the names of many gentlemen now civilians who, during the past rebellion, distinguished themselves as officers in the cause of freedom and off mace. THE MAMMOTH FAU AT THE ANEEIOAA ACADEMY OF Music.—The arrangements for the mat fair to he held within the gilded walls of thin palatial building, at the corner of Broad and Locust streets, for the Soldiers , and Sailors' Home, are progressing finely.- The fair will open on the 23d Mat. Among other things, it is proposed to print a daily journal, which shall be a model in every respect. Me subscription price will be 0.50. A committee of gentlemen who have had much newspaper experience will superin tend the publication. The paper will be of medium size, handsomely printed, and no , effort will be spared to make it the most inte resting of the kind ever published. Distin guished literary ladies and gentlemen have consented to contribute to its columns. The articles will be generallyshort. full of variety, which is conceded to be the spice of life, It is already understood, from articles pub lished in. .The Press, that the Home is a char tered institution, that inaugurated several years since. Although it is located in Phila delphia, its benefactions are not limited by State boundaries. Its doors are freely opened to every deserving soldier and sailor of the Republic who seeks admission. The management contemplate an Industrial Department, in the institution, in which the inmates who are able to work at their trades may find employment,and thus be relieved from the position of mere dependents on pub lic charity. It contemplates also a depart ment where children of those who have died in the service will be tenderly protected and carefully educated and prepared for suitable vocations. The orphan children, whose fathers have fallen in our great struggle, are also spe cially entitled to the public favor and protec tion. Let us provide a home worthy of their acceptance, and worthy of a people whose property they have protected, whose liberty they have secured, whose Government they have saved, and whose hearts they have glad dened by their splendid achievements. VISITING FIREMEN.—Quite a number of fire companies from abroad intend starting from their 'respective locations, on Saturday, for Philadelphia, to take part in the grand de monstration' on Dionday next. These compa nies may be expected to arrive at different times on Saturday night, and some of them on the day following. The various presents in tended for them are numerous as they are beautiful and appropriate, as mementoes of the greatest parade of firemen. The amount of money required to get up such a demonstra tion is immense, and as it flows through and for the benefit of the working classes it must be the means of doing good to a great.number of operatives. It is estimated that half a mil lion of dollars will change hands through the medium of the firemen's parade. Money, like the blood in the human system, should. Circu late, in order to do good. The firemen have done their share in the present instance. BASE-BALL TOMINAMENT.—The Alert Club, of Danville, Inntour county, has made arrangements for a grand base-ball tourna ment in that town, on the 10th and 20th of this month. • Db_ey have invited the Williamsport Club, the Wyoming 03.11), of §oranton, the Susquehanna Club, of Wilkesbarre, and the Athletic Club, of this city . . All these organi zations have accepted the invitation. The Athletics are expected to play against each of these invited clubs, and also wall the Alert, two gamem being played each day. A very pleasant time may be expected, as the Alert Club is a whole-souled organization of gentle men, who will do everything in their power to properly entertain their guests and have a tournament well worth witnessing. BROTHERLY LOVE,—Messrs. Geo. Hen sler. John A. Maburg, Geo. McEneu, Wm. Port er and Wm. McCoy will leave the city at 8 o'clock this morning for Reading. It is the duty or these gentlemen to formally extend an invitation to the Friendship Engine, of Reading, to visit the city and partake of the hospitalities of the Mechanic Steam-Fire En gine Company. It would be premature to tell tile Friendship boys of the good things in store for them, but what with the doings of the members of the Mechanic and the grand ar rangements made by the ladies in the neigh borhood, they may expect " a good time," and that means a great deal with the Mechanic. THE FAIR.—The fair at the Assembly Buildings for the benefit of the Sabbath- Scheel of the North Baptist Church continues. Last evening the contest for the fire-horn con tinued. The following was the vote as it stood at nine o'clock: South Penn Hose, 166; Co hoOksink, 97; Pennsylvania Hose. 7 g United States Engine, 6 ;Pair Mount Engine, 4• Em pire Hook and Ladder, 4 ,• Spring Garden Hose, 43 Lincoln Hose, 3 5 Good-Will Engine, 1; As sistanee Engine, L The vote for the silver tea service stood as follows : Rev.

Y. will start from that city for... Phil adelphia for the purpose of participating in the firemen's parade. The engine of this com pany decorated oroughly overhaulen, re paired, and everything d0m,3 0 • make it present, as it doubtless will, a fine - pearance. About fut 7 men will accomfa4, the Franklin on its trip. SERIOUS ACCIDERTS.—Ann. Cannon, 42 years of age, who lives in Northampton court, near Dilwyn and Callowhill streets, was working about her house last evening when she was seized with a fit, and fell against the stove. In so doing _she upset a large kettle full of boiling water upon her, and =was se riously scalded. Benjamin Fillon, twenty-five years old, while attempting to jump from a train of cars at Twenty-filth street and Pennsylvania avenue, last evening, fell, and the wheels passed over his lat leg, cutting it off below the knee. The right leg was alSo considerably lacerated. - Both of the sufferers were taken to the hospital. ATTRACTIVE PLACES. One or two neighborhoods that we perambulated yester qay semen to be appropriated almost exclu sively to displays of firemen's horns, wreaths, arches, festoons of artificial flowers, with gold or silver leaves and lace. The spectator might easily suppose for the time that he or she had been spirited away to such lAaces as may be read about in the Arabian Nights entertain ment. The storekeepers have evinced a com mendable spirit of enterprise in the produc tion of almost endless displays of fine, attrac tive and fancy work. • SAD DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN. —Last evening as the Rev, Dr. Lot Jones was leaving st. Luke's church he slipped and fell from the steps, striking his head against the stove, fracturing his skull terribly. He was -con veyed to the house No. 1602 Locust street, were medical aid was summoned, but to no effect, death ensuing in about two hours after the accident.

THE Sou:a:Ens' VOTE.—There are some soldiers who belong to Philadelphia stationed in various sections of the country: There are live companies of the 3d Pennsylvania Heavy Attilleryitt, Fortress Monroe, we believe, most of the members of which are legal voters. Their vote had not been received up to the closing of the Prothonotary's office yesterday. THE RETURN JUDGES.—The return judges are to meet in the Supreme Court-room, east wing of Independence Hall, at ten o'clock this morning.

I have made critical examinations and severe tests, particularly investigating all mechani cal points, principle, character of stitch, and gene ral practicability of twelve different machines claiming to be "first-class," and I am entirely satisfied that the " Wiilcox dl Gibbs" is so far above all others in practical worth, that it is u•ifiwut u rival. The complication of delicate machinery, so common in other maeliinery, seems to be wholly eliminated in the Willcox & Gibbs, and it will live to see other "first-class" machines forgotten. Mrs. Reid says it is est , - eciviy the best beyond comparison.
