Special to the Indieeapolis Journal. Philadelphia, Oct 2. Philadelphia papers printed on Sunday a letter from Atlanta, Ga., whieh narrated, with much elaboration of detail, that a Wm. Markham, a wealthy and prominent Union man of that city daring the war, had recently declared that General Sherman, on his arrival at Atlanta in the fall of 1SG4, said to him in the roost positive way that his army would go no further than Atlanta, but would remain there until the fall of Richmond, when Grant and Meade would march to join Sherman at Atlanta. General Sherman has written the following characteristic letter concerning the story: "New Yokk, Sept. 20, 1S33. "J. R. Pennvpacker. Eq., Editor Weekly Tress: 'Dear Sir -Trash! lou would not buy a horse on such testimony. I do not even recall to memory Mr. .Markham. of Atlanta, who claims that I reposed in bim a confidence without precedent I hare published my memoirs in foil, covering all the period of whieh the writer treats, and General Grant has done the same. We a?ree substantially, and neither of aa la likelr to change. Mr. Markham" ereat loss, $114,000, though large for one man, was not enough to repay the United States government for one hour's cost of the war in which the people of the South involved the United States. Though not individually responsible, like "Poor Dog Tray," he was in bad company. I am glad to know he has recovered his wealth, thougn he has evidently lost his memory. Yours truly, W. T. Sherman.

Silva supposed he had killed the reptile and picked it up oy the tail to cut off tne rattles. Holding the snake almost at arm's length, he hacked at the cartilage connecting the rattle with the tail several times without severing it. He then gripped the snske by the body, and as the knife penetrated it, aa a last effort the venomous creature doubled nt.d struck htm on the little finger, hurrying its fangs deep in tbe tiesn.. The boy shook the snake off. and without an instant's hesitation cut the finger oU at the middle joint above the place where tbe reptile's teeth had entered. Even then his nerve did not desert him, and he made his way homeward, a considerable distance. Here he drank a large quantity of wcisky, and had his bleeding finger bandaged.

Bishop Taylor Thinks Stanley All Right. Springfield, III, Oct. 2. Bishop William Taylor, the distinguished African bishop of the Methodist Church, before leaving Spnnefield, expressed his news on the disappearance of Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer. He said that, from his knowledge of the condition of things in Africa, it was highly probable that Stanley bad gone into the interior of tbe country, wnere he could not be heard from for a year or two, and that interested persons were taking advantage of his absence to create friendship for individual schemes and to organize searching parties whose real object was something else than the recovery or assistance of Stanley. A desire for public sensation, perhaps, promptec many of the publications respecting the ex plorer.

THE LATE BEYOLT IN SAMOA

Additional and Accurate Details of the Trouble and the Causes Thereof, The Outbreak Originated From an Attempt By the Kinr to riunder the Feople Description of the Fight that Followed. Sa Francisco, Oat. 2.The Commercial Advertiser of Sept. 21, which was received here to-day by the steamer Australia, from Honolulu, published some private correspondence from an officer of tbe United States steamer Adams, which gives additional and accurate details of the recent trouble in Samoa. One letter, dated Sept 10, relates some cf the causes which led to the battle. .Among them is a mention of the fact that tome time ago Tam&seae issued orders through Brandeis, a Ger man, whom be had appointed prime minister, for the natives to turn in their fine mats, which are used there as money. Thia occasioned ereat discontent, which was increased by a decree of Tamasese that he would take the name ot Maltetoa, that of the deposed king, which means "Great Warrior." Tbe chiefs would not grant him this honor, and tbe different clans took to the bush about Sept 1. A few days before the cattle occurred those in rebellion had in creased to about 4,009 men, and Tainasese'e own immediate family and tribe had deserted him and be had gone to Mulinum. a strip of German territory near Apia. He bad with bim not mora than 200 or 200 followers. The officer of tbe Adams states that about this time he was informed that Tamasese wanted to abdicate, but that the Germans would not permit him to do so. The oScer also states that on Snt. 8 the German war-ship Aaler, under the pretext of protecting German property, but in reality to protect Tamasese. shelled a native village. Tne captain of tbe Adams protested against this, but the captain of tho Adler referred him to the German Consul, Mr. Becker. In a letter dated ept 15, the officer described the battle, which took place on the 12th, ae follows: i "Shortly after noon wa were aroused by a shell, followed immediately after by a volley from the direction of Mattaa Point. 700 or 600 yards from the ship. It seems tbe forces in rebellion against German rule and Tamasese bad attacked the fortifications in the rear of the point. About COO men were engaged on both eid9, although the revolutionists had 1,000 or 2,000 men in reserve. The forces of Mat ao fa, the king recently elected by the revolutionists, af.er several boura' brisk fighting, carried the intrenchments, and drove Tama sese s men into the tea and upon rafts and reefs. The last fort was taken by M ataxia's people at - a. m. on the 13tb, and skirmishing was carriod on three hours longer, making an almost continuous engagement of fifteen hours. Those in rebellion now have possession of the island of Apia. Tamasese. his prime minister and his few remainine followers are hemmed in at Mulinum, protected by the German corvette Adler, and a force of sixty-five sailors on shore in in trenchments. It is diCicnlt to learn the exact number of casualtits. There were twenty wounded and killed, on Mataafa's eide, and ten killed, wounded and unknown ou Tarnasese's side. It is believed fifty or sixty will cover all the casual tie. The German consul accuses the captain of the United States steam er, Adams, and the American consul gmeral, of encouraging the natives on Matafas side to fight" Tbe officer states that he believes if the Ger mans fire one gun upon Mataafa'a people, every German house on tne island will be burned. He also states that the Adams has received orders to return to San Francisco, but cannot leave Apia until coal and provisions arrive. He ex pressed the belief that, in the present unsettled condition of affairs, tbe captain cf the Adams will not leave Apia until he is relieved. Immigration Regulations In France. Pabis, Oct 2.

Russell A. Alger ITeeenta the Old Soldier's View f the l'endiiiff Contest. Boston InterTisw. "We are only making one fiebt, and that is a business fight, with no mod slincinp, "continued General Alger, as be warmed no to his subier.t. '&o far as am coocernea, I take Air. Cleveland to be the bead and front and the type of Democracy, aod the best man in it. Granting that, of course be is all the more daugerous, being on the wrong aide, end on that account alone shculd bo defeated. We eld soldiers think we bave just cause of complaint becinee Mr. Cleveland has vetoed so many pension bilis, but bis vetoes are very largely, 1 am willing to believe, because he does not understand the situation. lie never was a soldier, and 1 don't thick he took an especially active interest in the war at the time, from all that I can learn. The point is this: At the close of thenar the great body of men were only too (ad t t e: home aud thought nothing about .:' c .mp-neatiou for what they had done, tat evidence required, according to existir g inv .ni tseulatione in the Pension Departm. dei.iQis that a man shall prove that his di;Vi!ity v; hro leht on by exposure or wounds rrceired in 1-attle. Tnis is tbe difficulty. A mai in.l in old or middle age that he is practically tiauded, and under the existing law he cannot prove a nlaim that will entitle bim to a pension, and ir he coald th chances are that the v.itn isses, his ofneers or companions, are dead or scattered and be is unable to procure the testimony that he is entitled to by the facte. If he could fiud it, in many cases, a great uacy caees. be could not pay the expense of getting 11 In that condition, an old soldier finds himself, as soldiers write to me, in absolute poverty, enable to support himself and bis family, indeed unable to take care of ' Limeelf. and a great many aro sent to ' soldiers' homes. There are, I am sorry to say, a great many o'd soldiers in poor-houses all over the country, though there are none in Michigan, because Michigan has a soldiers' home, and they are taken care of at the expense of the State. The onlr means that such a man has ot getting help from the general government is by act of Congress. He makes bis statements, gets such corroborative evidence as he can, and asks his member of Congress to introduce a bill to get him a pension. The bill is passed. It is presented to tbe President, and is reported upon, for instance, that the claim has been Investigated and rejected. Rejected, of course, for lack of evidence; and if the man had bad the evidence it would not have been necessary for him to go to Congress. The President says: 'There is no evidence that shows this man entitlsd to a pension." and therefore he vetoes the bill. Any man who has been in tbe service and really understands the situation can sea how utterly impossible it is for that roan to procure the evidence that would show that he received his disability during tbe service. My observation of old soldiers is such that I don't believe that any man ever paeeed through the shock of battle and of repeated battles witbont in a measure injorine his nervous strength, condition, health, or that any man ever campaigned it acd slept on the ground and endured the exposures that a soldier bad to endure without its telling upon his physical frame. While it mar not show itself, and he may battle against it for a ecore ot years, at the same time it will tell and is telling, and that is why so many of them are unable to support themselves, aod why the government uebt to . take eare of them. I am one of those who believe that every man who served thia government, and who ia now unable to care himself, should be cared for by a fair pension." ' Trjing to Teach Journalism. Ithaca, N. Y..
