A VISIT TO AND INTERVIEW WITH BZMATOft
8TEVENSON BT A HERALD CORBESPON DEKT ?
WHAT 8ECBITABT OF LEQATIOX Bl'II RE
MEMBERS.
Puilapelfhia. May 17, 1?7S?
However it may be with tbe date o. Ma? 30,
1776, in me blsrory oi North Carolina, tner* is at
iea?t do doubt tbat oa May 81, of toe tain* year, tbe
Mecklenburg people pat forth a declaration of
their position in regard to the mother country,
and in mat paper sketched an outline or ft ?ml
polity lor themselves, to be fined oat as even's
migbt de'ermme. There is as llltie doubt mat
the ?ngusn government was iu,ly I a formed of tots
at tr>e time, and mat Martin, tbe Royal Ooveroor,
?ent forward to me Colonial Offlce, in legitimate
Siscbarge of bit duty, a publsued copy of the
paper thus <s?oed, wlta Hi* own report
of tnc circumstances aai possibly bi* comments.
Attention I* naturally tamed to tbat report la
tne nunt lor evidence regarding tne History ot tr.e
sotb of Mar. ior u seems bat rational tbat wntiog
within so few days of that event no sbcaid alio
ref-r to it, am to tt.e declaration tben made, or
to some previous report or feu own on the subject.
WHERE IS MARTIN'S RIPORTf
Natnra.lv. therefore, the Royal Governor's re
port or tne occurrences attending the is?ue or tbe
paper o: May 21, becomes or conseanonce la tftu
loqa ry. Bat waere Is It? It has supped oat
of sight. It nas disappeared from Its ap
propnae corner In the Brl lau Record Offlce, and
no e>e? seem sharp enoujn to say wnere it naw
lies Hidden?whether in tbe rorgotten rab-lab of
aone garret, wnether reduced to aaaes and soat
tered years since in some anremembered conds
gratiou, or woetuer carefully treasured by some
siy gatherer ot tnc secrets or the past. It appeara
that this document was in the archives of tne Brtt
is . Colonial Offlce down io tbe time when oar gov
ernment was represented la London by Andrew
Stevenson, or Virginia, wno held th? post of
CnrM Sra'ei Minister from 1SJ4 to 1M1.
It was withdrawn wniie Mr. Stevenson was nor
representat ve, *nd the records or the Colonial
Offlce indie ite that it was issued at the request of
tbe Minister or t? some person wno e application
for it bad received his support. Apparently tbe
usage of tbe offlce required tbat nome guarantee
or that son sboald oe given for the sft'ety or doc
uments so withdrawn, tne Record Offlce contem
plating tsat papers thus leaned were construct
ively la tbe eu?tody of the Minuter, and boning
bim responxibie for their return. In this now the
honor of the iHeventon lamily is Implicated la the
loas or this very prectoaa document.
A HERALD CGRREWJNPBNT'S SEARCH.
Mr. Stevenson was not in active politics tor tbe
remainder of ms lire after his retara from London;
and it has been generally thought that bis papers
bad remained to tft* present time untouched in
the boxes in whlca they cam* with him across
tne Atisa'ic. Perhaps tbe lost report was In one
oi tnose boxes. It w?? cerrainiy there ir the paper
withdrawn f'om trie Colonial Offlce was withdrawn
for tne Minister's ass; wnno If it was witndrawn
ror any otber person and subsequently returned
oy him to the Minister and Inftivertently re
tained bv this gentlemao, then also It was sure
to b? jacked away wi-h the same oozes. As
?tther theory, therefore, gave a bigt probability
tbat the document was among tbs Minister's pa
pers, Its valoa seemed to jastiry aa effort to exam
ine them, or to laara If any otber had examined
them.
Ascertaining that the papers were la tbe coito
dy of the Minister's son, senator Stevenson, of
Kentuckv. and acting under tno instruction to
"Had tbe paper If possible," I went to Covington
and called upon the Senator at bis bouse.
??I nave my fathers pspers," be sftiOt directly
tbe object of my visit was stated.
"And may I inquire their condition t"
"ooatrarilr to waat yon have been informed,
they have not remained aaopeaed aince ibfttr re*
turn from London."
"Tney have been examined then*"
"Tea," replied tue Senator, "They are all in
aoearate order, and tne con ten ta of every box la
known. Indeed, tbey were all methodically eoplad
out and bound under tbe directions of my ratfear
daring his lite."
"You say, sir, that the oontants of tba boxes are
known t"
"Tee, sir."
'?Can yoo, then, give me any Information or tbe
paper aoied at the colonial Offlce. aa withdrawn

?But 10 iu Mead?" tie continued; and here
gu.n tlie 1 or esmed an suddenly opened to tue

?Aoi vou remember ihit name, of course?"
".\o: I have fb'Kotten tt."

It s emed to be ;? t for inference that the memo,
raadnm ??s inaooeeelble. and that tue lapse of
the -#n?u r'* memory thns attain opened the gulf
tbi separated the Inquirer from all trace or clew
t? Oovaruor Martin's report. At leaat Mr. bte

SHERMAN'S MEMOIR
,
SIXONBOX B SHOT THAT RILLED BISHOP POLK?
THE TRAGEDY GRAPHICALLY DESCRIBED BY All
EYE-WITNESS.
To tbb Editor of the Herald:?
In jour renew of ?? Sherman's Memoirs" what
purports to be a statement of the manner in which
General l oin was killed is given, from which It
appear* that Sherman called General Howard's
attention to a group ol offio rs on Pine Mounts in,
and "ordered him to compel It to keep uuder
cover." Will you permit one who was attached to
General Howard's headquarters, and who was by
his side daily on toe Atlanta campaign?one who,
with Howard and other officer*, sut our horses
beside the Filth Indiana battery that fired the
latal shot?to give the true story ftom my notes
made that morning and published In a Western
dally a few weeks aiterward ? There certainly
la a grievous error either In jour review or in
Sherman's description of the tragedy. General
Sherman was not there and cunld not have seen
the shot fired. General Sherman may have,
however, as he rode to the rear, where he met
Howard, called hit attention to wnat he (Howard)
wonld aee when oar party reached General David
Stanley's iront: The facts?in which I am aure I
will be sustained In tne matn by Generals Howard
and Stanley and the staff officers present?are
these :?
On June 14 General Howard and staff left their
headquarters lor the front, where Stanley's di
vision of Howard's (Fourtn) corps bad broken
camp and were awaiting the order to attack Pine
Mountain. It was just after sunrise. A mtle or
two In rear of the advance Howard met Snerinan,
but the conversation between them 1 did not
hear, as the two generals conversed aside. How
ard and stuff joined Stanley and his staff on the
roid, in full* view of Pine Mountain, and as we
drew rein and exchanged greetings Stanley ex
claimed:?
?'Howard, do you see that group up there on the
crest of the mountain? 1 wonder who they are."
We all brought our field glasses to bear upon
the point Indicated and could plainly see three
persons standing in front ot a line of breastworks
and a larger group In the background. We could
not tell whether they were omcers or privates,
but as it was evident that tney were watchlug our
movements Stanley suggested that a lew shots
be tired to drive them under cover. . Howard, who
had suggested that perhaps Btsr.oi) Polk was In
the party, made no objections, when Stanley
turned to Captain Simonson, his chief of artillery,
with the remark:?
"M uonson, can't you unitmber, put a shot into
the group and give tne Bishop a morning saluta
tion F"
? I'll try!" was Slmonson's laconic replv. And
away he galloped to the rear. A few minutes
later a section of tar Filth Indiana battery
(Mmonson'*) was uniimbered within twenty feet
of us. Tne Lieutenant signced the gun and the
?noi exploded over and to th* runt of the group.
Here iuj mem rr fails uie, but my impression is a
secoud shot was sigh ed and bred by tne
Lica'euant with ni> better effect. Simonson, when
tn? sun had been reloaded, demounted and said.
"Here, Lieutenant, lei me try It" He took the
rati* ? and tno tnes.-enger of death sped on its
mission. Our glares were bent upon t he group
and we observed a commotion as the snot took
etf?ci iu me group that scattered to (ne rear.
White Winona u was upon his knees sighting tin
guu for a other discharge. Captain Leonard, chief
Of Howard's ?iirna! corps. siting on nis norae be
side me. read tne Confederate signal code that
our officer* hud interpreteJ at Lookout Mountain
and oanglit tn- word*
"General polk 1* killed 1" With a took of amaze
men i Leouard turned to Howard and Stau.ey
and ex> .aiaied :?
"itisaop Polk la killed I"
??Wnat*" esc.aimed Uoward} "have yon Inter
pret tne stguai correctly f"
e.?, General; smionson'a last shot killed him.
Taev ?re Meaning it along the Hue."
1 be toung ineo or the sisff woo were cracking
jok-s ina antiv cease u, ana lor a moment noue
spoke. Then Howard said
??H ell, a < n-r an has laiien. Such is war."
Jus i n*u Miuonson caught the words, "Biaoop
poik la kiiifu!"
He * - sighting the gun. and, lifting his eyes,
that glared .eariuii*. exclaimed
"What is toa:. Leonarut"
"Bishop Pot* is killed! Your laat shot did it.
The* are signalling u over the mountain," 1 re
siled.
SimotiHoii'a head dropped upon the "vent,'*
wnsre it reeled a moment. Ihen, raising his
eyes he exclaimed
?ihaok'.od! Yesterday t ey killed mv dear
brotnrr; i nave kiilej a lieutenant general and

Tne writer snowed mat tna present r.ulroad cor
porations are overcoming, by their bign cnurges
tor tretgiit, the advantages winch this citv
has us an entrepot from its geographical
position. He allowed that as tne railroaos

udva -tasre of the long-conriuueo closing of tne

reason ior New York to lie alarm d at the policy
ol the existing railway corporations In Mm met
ti at if me irelght rates are not cheapened trotn
the West when the Mississippi improve
ments are completed, New Orieaus may supersede

nally, Mr. Morgan suggests a rtnedy in tbe con
struction of
A NI.'.V RAILWAY

widen State is the centre oi tne Mississippi
region, to this city. lie 1 says tnst cue

that his intimiitu knowledge oi the ? ay lioni Ne-v
Yoi k to the Mississippi etiaiiies him to declare
thai a railway can be uuilt between inese t' r.uini,
which will not have to overcome grades of more
than lliteon icct in coming east, nor of more than
twenty-five feet going west. Alter a statement
of lacts which bis exocrlenco has taU/Ut

the equivalent oi the weight oi a nushei ot wheat'.
But he said tnat the i'eight cars must ne hunt iu
some proper proportion to the loads tbey are to
carry, Instead of a* tney are at present, being mide
very little less in weight than tneir lad toads;
and tne ruiiway must uc well ballasted. Mr. toor
ga.i aiso shnned that tbe average cost ol bring
ing a busnel of wheat irom ciucago to New York
is now tl.teen cents and that uuder no circum
