I have quite a large family, and when I resigned my place in Louisiana, on account of secession, I had no time to lose; and, therefore, after my hasty visit to Washington, where I saw no chance of employment, I came to St. Louis, have accepted a place in this company, have rented a house, and incurred other obligations, so that I am not at liberty to change. I thank you for the compliment contained in your offer, and assure you that I wish the administration all success in its almost impossible task of governing this distracted and anarchical people. Yours truly, W. T. Sherman. I was afterward told that this, letter gave offense, and that some of Mr. Lincoln's cabinet concluded that I too would prove false to the country. Later in that month, after t'ae capture of Fort Sumter by the Confederate authorities, a Dr. Cornyn came to our house on Locust street, one night after I had gone to bed, and told me he had been sent by Frank Blair, who was not well, and waDted to see me that night at his house. I dressed and walked over to his house on Washington avenue, near Fourteenth, and found there, in the front room, several gentlemen, among whom I recall Henry T. Blow. Blair was in the back room, closeted with some gentlemen, who soon left, and I was called in. He there told me that the government was mistrustful of General Harney, that a change in the command of the department was to be made; that he held it in his power to appoint a brigadier general and put him in command of the department, and he offered me the place.

BUCKEYE Dear Sir: I hold myself now, as to serve my country in always, ready the capacity for which I was trained. I did not and will not volunteer for three months, because 1 cannot throw my family on the cold charity of the call world. But for the three-year- s made by the President an officer can prepare his command and do good service. I will not volunteer as a soldier, because rightfully or wrongfully I feel unwilling to take a mere private's place, and, having for many years lived in California and Louisiana, the men are not well enough acquainted with me t elect me to my appropriate place. Should my services be needed, the records of the War Department will enable you to designate the station in which 1 can render the most service. Yours truly. W. T. Sherman. To this I do not think I received a direct answer: but, on the 14th of the same month, I was appointed Colonel of the Thirteenth Regular Iafantry.

Within the arsenal wall were drawn up in parallel lines four regiments of the Home Guards, and 1 saw men dis tributing cartridges to the boxes.
