SUE UMAX.« * * Then he lurhed to one ofIns quartermasters, and they sat down to business. -Here I found a different kind of a man from. Grant—a hftrd, weather* beaten soldier, wLlh naturally a corrugated face, a nervous, restless, active man, with all the equipments of a soldier on him, and every inch a general. Yet that pleasant, general look that belonged • to Grant’s face wag wanting in Serraan.I wa3 notv I must confess, much impressed with Gen. Sherman on my first interview, although unfavorable impressions wore off as eoon as the quartermaster went away and he conld attend to me.Ho turned ^ to ward mo in the most pleasant way, poked the ’ fire, ana talked as if he had known mo all his life. Sherman, unlike Grant, wa3 very talkative* Ho told me all he had done, what he was doing, and what be intended to do, jumping np every three minutes to send a message to some one. I saw that Sherman differed from Grant in one res-pcct. Sherman attended to all details j himself, white Grant left them to others, ]alw ay a'selecting good men to perform ihawork*Sherman’s eye was also the reverse of Grant’s; it was black, piercing and restless, and appeared in strong contrast with his sandy complexion, „bair and beard. Grant's eye was calm and cold, alt hough,when he was angry,it would light up with a Gercenesa not pleasant to encounter.J don’t suppose there ever wa3 a greater contrast between-two army men than that between Grant and Sherman. They were unlike in everything thing evcept^ in their skill as soldiers, ye* they agreed ‘ perfectly.
