No fear, however, that they will not be preserved in a permanent shape. In reviewing tbe entire narrative as fair ly given by Colonel Avery, it is pleasant to know that not even the Union citizens allowed office holders as to who is the fit test man to nominate at Chicago in June. They must be solid for Sherman, or he will know the reason why. I rather think they know it by this time, and that the requisite solidity will be forthcoming.
