sr The Hon. James Speed, of Ken
tucky, recently appointed Attorney-
General of the United States, is not on
ly a laWyer of eminence, but
,has long
been distinguished among the eminent
men of his own State. As early as
1849 he was a reader of the email party
which endeay.)red to make Kentucky a
free State. Since then he has been de
voted to the practice of his profession.
The sincerity of his anti-slavery opinions
is shown by his voluntary emancipation
of his own slaves about three years ago.
fir Chief Justice Chase is the author
of the phrase, "Congress has no more
power to make a slave than to make a
king." The sentence is contained in

Chase wrote most of the resolutions, of

gar At Troy, N. Y., the other day,

THE. HERO.—Major General William
Tecumseh Sherman, is the full name of
the hero who has marched upon Savan
nah. He was born at Lancaster, Ohio,
in 1820; his father, the Hon. Chas. R.
Sherman, one ol,tbe Justices of the
Ohio Supreme Court, and elder brother
of Senator Sherman. He was educated
in the family of the Hon. Thomas Ewing
the distinguished lawyer, whose daugh-.
ter he married, becoming brother-in-law
to the now General Thomas Ewing.
At sixteen he entered, and in 1840 gra
duated from West Point. In 1841 he
was stationed at Fort 'Moultrie, Charles.
ton ; in 1848 was breveted captitin for
exican services; in 1853 he took
charge of the banking house of Lucas,
Turner & Co., at San Francisco ; and
in 1860 was President of the State Mil
itary Academy of Louisiana, a position,
which he resigned on the first indica
tions of secession, declaring to Govern
er.Moore that "on no earthly account"
would he "do any act or think any
thought hostile to the Government of
the United States." Sheiman was the
hero of the victory of Shiloh, where,
General Rousseau says, "he gave us our
first lessons in the field in the face of
an • enemy ; and of all She men I ever
saw he was the most untiring, vigilant,
and patient." Grant gave him the cred
it of the victory. Sherman's was lately
described as not a remarkable face,
"save the nose, which organ was high,
thin, and planted with a curve as Vehe
ment as the curl of- a Malay cutlass.
the face , and neck were rough and cov
ered •with reddish hair, the eye light in
color, and animated ; but, though rest
less and bounding like a ball from one
object to another, neither piercing nor
brilliant,; the mouth well closed but
common, the ears large, the hands and
feet long and thin, the gait a little roll
ing, but firm and active. In dress and
manner there was not the slightest trace
of pretension. He spoke rapidly, and
generally with an inquisitive smile.
To this ensemble I must add a hat which
was the reverse of dignified or disti , -
guished, a simple ; lt affair, with a roe
crown and drooping brim."
Gir There is quite a strong opini
in Begland that Muller did not conf es
on the gallows, as alleged. A law. r
calls loudly through the columns f
Public Opinion for the mauuscript. p -
pared by Muller before his executi .
It is alleged that , this is public proper ,
and that the Aldermen have no rigit
to keep it from the people, as they. ar .
doing: „;Louis Blanc has written strong
ly against the ides that Muller confess
ed. The ioarsoa who alone heard the
alleged coufession has , given two •or
three different versions of it already.
He was laboring under such an excited
conviction, hat Muller was guilty, and
vehement superstition that he would
"go straight to, hell if he didn't confess,'
that his account, totally. unsupported as
it is, is scarcely creditable.
ar The singular epithets of "bears"
and "bulls" were first applied , to spec•
ulators in stocks on the London Ex
change about 1834. When two parties
contract, the one to deliver and the
other to take stocks on a future day at
a specified price, it is , the interest of the
delivering party, in the intervening pe
riod. to deprei'm stocks, , and of the re
ceiving party to raise them. The for
mer is styled a "bear," in allusion to the
habit of that animal to pull things down
with his paws, and the latter a "bull"
from the custom of that beast to throw
an object up with his horns.
