Tni: deaths of Oenernl Sherman and
Admiral Porter bring home the fact that
the great heroi of the war are going fast.
Home idea of the strain of that great
rtrurgle avsy lie pained from the equally
noth-eable fact that, with these two ex
ceptions, nearly all the other leaders died
at an age which men in other professions
usually regard as their period of greatest
useful ness. Of that great group of gen
erals which led the I'nion armies on to
victory, tleneral Shennsn was the only

ill only on Snnday last, hii Tlat birthday,
when symptomi of erysipelas developed.
At this morning's consultation of the
physicians it was determined that the change
for the worse in the tJenerals condition was
so decided as to justify ttiem in notifying the
family that be was dyinp, and that tbe end
was only a itieti-in ofbimrs. IJereft of

sadly awaited tbe inevitable conclusion.

His tongue was swollen, and his jaws were

Iiachel and I.Cuie remained kneeling, one at
each side of the bed, during tbe last hour of
the hie of their father. Neither priest nor

FKETCH OF UtX. SHLDMtX.
Wiliiam Tecumseh Sherman was born at
Ijmcaster. Obio, February. 8, 1SJ0. His
father wss Charles Robert Sherman, once a
judge of the suerior court of Ohio, and bis
mother's maiden name was Mary Hoyi.
II wss a brother of John 8herman, now a
F. 8. Senator. After the doslb of his fath
er, which occurred in IHJil, the future gen
eral was aJopted as a son by Thomas
F.wing, a member of Congress. He entered
the military academy at West Point in Is.JG,
whence he graduated in 1J0, standing sixth
in bis class of 40 members, among whom
were tieor-re If. Thomas and Richard 8
Fwell, both of whom, along with Sherman,
became famous in tbe civil war. Hs served
jn thramr m H-,U wj,n ,,e miUl
u pain and engaged in bank-
iR husiness in Ran Francisco. For about a
ynr before the war he was superintendent
ol'the L uisia military academy at New
Orleans.
At the opening of tbe rebellion he seemed,
more than anyone else, to comprehend the
greatness of tbe crisis, and he aptiealed,
without avail, to the authorities at ashing
! ton to prepare for war ou a large scale.
With the rank of colonel he commanded
a brigade at the first battle of Hull Kun,
jju!y2t, 1SU. On August he was com
missioned brigadier general of volunteers.
and in October assumed command of the de-
nartmetit of KenlnrVv W),n ak1 hvthe

tbe department of Tennessee. He took a
conspicuous part in tit engagements at
Missionary Ridge and Chattanooga, Nov. -I
and .'.. and three diys later started with his
army for tbe relief of Burnsideal Knoxville,
where he arrived ju after General Breckin
ridge had raised tbe siege and fled.
When Graut was transferred to Virginia
in March I sot, Sherman was appointed to
tbe command of the military division of tbe
Mississippi river and the Allegheny Moun
tains. On tbe r.ih of May he moved against
the army of Gen. Jos. K. Johnston with a
force of !797 men and 2.r4 cannons. By a
series of brilliant maneuvers and successes
on tbe battlefield be forced the enemy from
one position to another till Atlanta was
reached and captured on the 1st of Septem
ber. On Nov. 14, !sfi4. Gen. Sherman, with
65.10 men. started on his famous march to

As a soldier he was one of tbe very few
men who could handle with masterly skill
and without confusion an army of a hun
dred thousand men or more. His willing
ness to share their privations and dangers
and his care in looking after their avery
want and comfort gained for him the love
of his soldiers lo a degree enjoyed by few
commanders.
Death of Admiral Portei A
Dies with Him.
Tltls
Wash is.. Tox, February 13 Admiral Da
vid D. Porter, who has lieen in failing health
for some years, died suddenly at H;l " o'clock
Friday morning at his residence in this city
of fatty dru-enf ration of the heart. Dr. Wales
the physician attending Admiral Porter was
hastily summoned to Ids bedside when tbe
altacc came, but the Admiral was dead be
lore he arrived. All the-membersof the fum
ily were at home at the time of his death.
Almost as long as there has been an Amer
ican navy the name of 1'orter has been hon
orably connected with it. Five generations
of the family have gone don to the sea iu
ships, and'ail have acquitted themselves with
bravery. And uow. with the death of Da
vid Dixon Forter, the title of Admiral in
the American navy dies, too.
Admiral Forter was born in Chester, Dela
ware county. Pa , on June S. 113. He stud
ied in the Columbian College, at Washing
ton, P. '., but the traditions of the family
were utroiig upon hiiu. It was impossible
for the son of a man who was a naval hero
of the war of 1M- not to turn naturally to
the sea. In he sailed with his father
on the John Adams to suppress piracy in
the West Indies, and was soon alicrwaro ap
pointed midshipman in the Mexican navy.
At the opening of the cival war Admiral
Porter was assigned to the Gulf squadron
on the Powhatan. In April. 1SG1. be was
appointed commander and placed in com.
mand of the mortar fleet, with which he
subsequently joined Farragut below New Or
leans. He bombarded and reduced Fort Jackson
anil Fort St. PLilip, and going up tbe river
assisted Farrasr.it in the lalter's oiierntions
between New Orleans and Vick!mrg. He
successfully bombarded all the forts, and en
abled the fleet to ps in safety.
The intrepid sailor soon alter triumphant
ly ran tbe gauntlet of forts at Yicksburg, put
himself in communication with Gen. Grant
and aided materially in tbe glorious capture
of that place on the 4th of July, ls-i!. Dur
ing the remainder of the ytar Admiral Por
ter's squadron was emp oyed in keeping the
Mississippi river open to unobstructed navi
gation. In eomm..J nf- MlnTitic n-''1ron in
1S04 he look part in the bombardment of
Fort F.sber at tbe mouth of Caj-e Fear river.
Porter received the thanks of Congress for
this service, tbe fourth he bad been given
during the war. He as made vice admi
ral in lti and on August 15 1S70, was pro
moted to the rank of admiral of tbe navy,
which i-osition he has held continuoiuly
ever since.
Admiral Porter is the author of several
books, and was the originator of a peculiar
type of gunboat, of which, however, note
has vet been built.

The weather during tbe week at the State I is generally admitted, that the retail lijuor
CuDital has been verv mild even spring- i business increases the number ol cases that
likt. The greatest objection anyone can
find to the place, as it is tbia week, is the
extremely raoj.iy condition of the streets,
resulting from tbe heavy fall of snow that
visited this section of the State more than a
week ago. It seems that the authorities of
this city pay no attention to the matter of i
politv ing the streets and keeping the rrofs- j
inirs iu even a reasonably fair condition. ;
The dailies keep you posted on the pro
gress of legislation, so that I need my bnt
little on that subject. Harriaburg has U en
swarming with lobby ists during the cntiie
week. Publication bouses have them here
to prevent any charge ir. tbe method of
supplying school books. They are here to
work for legislation favorable to tbe working
classes notably tbe Miners' Association of
the State. A goodly number are on hand to
woik, for and against, tbe proposed revision
of the Revenue laws of tbe Commonwealth.
The various institutions f tbe Stale a.-king
for appropriations have forces at work in
their several interests, oil oj-erators are
here, some favoring and some op-osing the
attempt that is being made to force the
Standard Oil Cj. to transmit their produc
tions to tbe markets at fixed rates, belnw
their present schedule of prices, and to re
duce the price charged for storing the same
in the tanks provided for thai purpose by
tbe company. On Wednesday evening a
hearing was given by the Senate Finar.ee
Committee to all persons interested in the
last named measure. To one uuacqtiaiuied
with the claims as presented by both pa -ties
in interest, it would seem from the argu
ments on one side that the Standard Oil Co.
is a gigantic nvmrthiug that stands ready to
throttle every interest that comes in its way,
and that it is, with a high hand, oppressing
and depressing tbe citizens of tbe Slate,
wresting from wage-workers the honest fruit
of tbeir toil, a'id saying to business men,
especially in tbeir own line, "Keep out of
our way, or prepare to hand in your checks.'
The aiiiments on the other side impress
you that this ssme 'orporalion is an iisti-
tution conceived in charity and founded in
benevolencs ; that it sprung into existence
from a "necessity existing iu the entire of j
things" ; that it entered upon its course of
benevolence to mankind at a time whei, for
want of organized effort, the oil inleress of
the Slate were languishing ; when there was
no market for the surplus product, and wlen
producers who had spent millions of doiltrs
in the development of the oil territory if
the State were in great danger of losing tbe
inves'ments, and the whole industry wis n j
danger of being overthrown, and that by th I
combination of capital it has succeeded !
in providing cheap transportation Or the;
commodity to the seaboard, where, by the
use of scientific appliances, too expensive
for individual operators to employ, it has
put in operation extensive oil refinerief, by
tbe aid of which the crude product is pre
pared for the market at a price so low that
tbe American dealers can control the mar
kets of the world, and sell tbeir product
even in Russia where the oil fields are as
extensive and fertile as any found in this
country at a price so low as to render Rus
sian capitalists unable to compete with
them iu their own markets. Tbe result of
this, they argue, is to bring into this country
millions of dollars from foreign lauds, which
employs thousands of men and. in various
ways brings cheer and comfort into hun
dreds of American hemes.
The strangest thing connecUd with this
discussion is tbe disagreement among local
producers. Some of them arue that nnless j
the Stale interferes aud reduces the rates
chargud by the company for transportation
and storage, they will be obliged to give up
the business, as there is no prolit left them
for their production of etude oil. Other
producers of the same class, with equal
earnestness, insirt that any interference on
the part of the State will strike a death-blo
to them. They say that if these rates are
reduced below what they are now paying,
or if tbe company is compelled to accept a
price fixed by law, its pii-es will be taken
awsy from all the small producers, and with
no transportation equally low in price with
that which this company affords, their busi
ness will be broken down and raasy of ihciu

conflicting statements from parties whose
interests are identical, it is diflioult for the
uninitiated to tell where the fault lies, or
whether any at all exists. :ie. inin is i
certain, and that is, wheuier aiiyo.xly is
making money out of the oil product or r.ot,
the consumer can not complain, fjr it lias
been noticeahle in the past that, with the
increase of the facilities of the Standard Oil
Co. for transporting and rtTinin petroleum,
there has been a steady decrease in the price
of re lined oil, until to day our houses all
over this land are made bright with the
chespest light (sunlight alone excepted I that
a beneficent Creator ever gave to man.
On Tuesday evening the House Committee
on Ways and Means gave a bearing to tbe
Pennsylvania R. R. Co. on the siihjsct of
tai legislation now pending. Col. Jordan,
of Philadelphia, appeared f-r the company,
and all who beard hi in left the committee
room with tbe impression that if no stronger
argument could be made against the Rev
enue Commission's bill than he nude, the
corporatioas of the State would either have
to resort to tbe old method of purclia.-m; '
iu defeat or give up tbe ghost. The weight
of bis argameat simply was that the State
was prospering under the present system of
taxation ; that our benevolent institutions
are being sustained and new ones being built
up; that our courts of justice have held their
place, to restrain evil and protect society,
and hence no change in the law to provide
revenue for all these purposes is needt-,1. He
failed to say one word, either in recognition
or denial, of the fact that while out State
government in all its departments bas main
tained its efficiency, and our various local
interests have kept pace with the progress of
tbe time, certain classes of property have
borne an 'titijust share of the burden, and
a portion of tbe population of our Common
wealth bave enjoyed a prosperity that is the
result of sacrifice which the present tax
laws of tbe State require a part of the people
to make for the benefit of the whole.
Siuce my last communication R'prtsenta
tive Miller, from your county, has offered a
bill to fix tbe measure and weight of the
standard bushel of charcoal, which was re
ported favorably and at this date is on
second reading. Also a bill amending tbe
life and fire insurance laws of the Stale so
as to exempt from certain provision of the
same beneficial orders doing business on tbe
fraternal or lodge system. The latter bill
was referred to the Committee on Insurance
and bas not yet been reported. .
Representative Weller is preparing and
expects to offer in the near future a bill pro
viding that tbe State appropriation to our
public schools shall be divider! on the basis
of the number of children of proper age to
attend school, instead of the taxable citizens,
which, if it should become a law, will ac
cording to present statistic?, give to your
county about 25 percent, more of the appro
priation than it now receives.

get into the tjuarter Sessions Court, and
thereby increases tbeexpenses of tbe county,
justice requires that whatever revenue is
derived from such licenses should go to in
crease the funds of the county treasury. His
elfort to secure the amendment was deter-
mined, but ou the question of adoption being
put, it was lost by two rotes,
