Garret, his private secretary: General Thomas Ewing, his brother-in-law, and Itoctors Alexander and Green, who have attended him constantly during his last illness. They all had been watching by his dying bed-side since the early honrs of the morning, for when they were first summoned from their beds at half-past five o'eloek yesterday morning it was belicv^kthat he might die at any moment. ^

His long struggle hatteompletely exhausted him. and it ^Was only his remarkable vitality and will power that enabled him to eling to life so long after ail hope had been given up. From time to time during the morning some of the family would leave the room, but only to be summoned bai-k hastily when it was thought that the end was approaching. It was in those moments that he clung to the thread of life that remained for nearly five hours after he became completely unconscious. !>r. Alexander watehed beside the General incessantly, observing the slightest changes in his pulse anil breathing. After eleven o’elock it was expected that every moment would bring the end, and telegrams were prered to send to all his friends and the «ers of the Government at Washings ton iKgoon a dissolution occurred. al moment there was no appreciable Change in the appearance oi the sufferer.'si{e had been lying as on? dead for severalhours. Dr. Alexander, who. had his hantb^on the General s breast, for he could nbvdetenuine the heart-heats in his pulse, was watching hfe face intently. He lookrihup quiet £y at just ten minutes to two ow^x-k and told the grief-stricken family thJfttiis patient had passed away. General Ewing immediately left the4, room and went down to the door to announce the fact to the representatives of the newspapers who had beeta v. nttfP ing the house anxiously forfour days. He was visibly affeetetOijf'nis grief at, the death of his ulrt'irieud. and could say no mora^tttan to make the unnounceipedfthat the General had passed -> A few minutes after this Secretary Barrett came to the telegraph oflBee on Columbus avenue with a large batch of dispatches which were addressed to President Harrison, each of the members of his Cabinet, and to relatives and friends of the family at Washington and elsewhere. They contained the simple announcement that General Sherman had died at 1:50 p. m., and were most of them signed by I.ieutenant Thackarr* Late yesterday afternoon General Ewing said that death ensued from the accumulation of mucous in the longs. The General made an effort to throw it off, hut had not the strength. He gave one convulsive gasp, and that was the end.

Mr. Barrett was so completely prostrated by the sad event of the day that, he could talk with no one, and he hurried back to the house as soon as he had filed the dispatches. General Ewing was seen and said: “General Sherman's death was absolutely painless, for he unconscious forseveral hours. His previous sufferings had worn him out completely, and we all expected that death would come much sooner than it did. For some time before the end he scarcely seemed to breathe at all, and the respirations became fainter and Breaker until they gradually ceased altogether. The old General has shown a wonderful amouit of will-power during his illness, and that alone has kept him alive for the last two days. As long as he was conscious he was determined to resist to the end, and if his physical power had been a little greater he might hare won. As it was, the end came so easily that for a moment it was not possible to realize that all was over."’ At three o’clock Undertaker Robert Wigger, a nephew of Bishop Wigger. and whoEurfed Mrs. Sherman, arrived at the khuse and embalmed the General’s body. The funeral arrangements have been placed in the hands of Generais Howard and Slocum.
