GEN. SHERM AN TO VISIT SAVANNAH
TO-DAY.
A despatch from our correspondent at
Hilton Head informs us that Gen. Sherman is
to visit us to-day.
JgGen- Sherman cornea to Savannah, as be
fore, after a great and successful campaign,
but under how different circumstances other
wise f Now, as then, he appears as the con
queror of Confederate armies, but with what
different feelings will he be received in the
city of Savannah ?
His march through Georgia, and the fall of
Savannah were then looked on as humilia
ting disasters to the Confederate arms in a
still actively progressing war. But the aur
-orender of Johnston and the capitulation of all
the forces in Florida, Georgia, and the Caro
linas must be regarded as the real termina
tion of the war—in the East, at all events.
This consummation is undoubtedly most grate
ful to all, at whatever cost obtained ; and
General Sherman, as the bringer' ol peace to
a war-worn State, will receive the wel
come of a friend from the people of Savan
nah-

POLITIC AH ASSASSINATION.
(From the New York World.)
I f, iß i? I lon S now sili ce a European ruler
really fell under the assassin’s dap-gtr that we
shall hardly be surprised to see the mad and
brutal murder ol the President taken ud bv
the press of England and France as a con
clusive proof of the incapacity of the Ameri
cans for self government, and of the failure
of republican institutions.
Yet nothing could well be more unfair
or more absurd. Had the assassination of
Mr. Lincoln stained the earlier stages of
our conflict; had the dagger been invoked
in the outset ol this great civil strife, such
an argument from its use might perhaps have
been tenable. But at this crisis of the great
struggle it plays a part, not of policy, but of
despair; it represents not the temper and
habits of a people, but the frenzy of a fac
tion or an individual. The dramatic features,
of the horrible transactions are perhaps prop
erly attributable to the professional training
and turn of mind of the reputed assassin ;
and, striking as they are, it is important that
we should bear this fact in mind in estima
ting, as well as under the stress of the excit
ed popular feeling of the hoifr we may. the
relations of this appalling crime to the
mighty history of which it must now forever
form so conspicuous an episode.
Agaiu and again, during the past half cen
tury, the live3 ol European princes and sove-‘
reigns hive been taken or threatened in like
v L°™ Philipe, during the eighteen
rei £ Q °ver France, escaped as
1 many attempts upon his existeuce : and Eu
| rope has scarcely yet recovered from tbs
political pommotion into which it was thrown
by the last and most formidable of several
similar efforts to solve the problem of im
perialism or republicanism in France by cut
ting the slender thread of the third Napo
leon’s life.
Under Jhe first French republic, men's
minds were dangerously familiarized with
the cheap and cruel expedient of meeting
political difficulties by putting out of the way
the leading representatives of one or another
political faith. Charlotte Corday, possessed
with a blind feminine horror of the excesses
of Marat, devoted herself to death in the
hope of ridding France of a despot of opinion,
who had made the guillotine an institution
and terror a religion.
When the arms of the French Republic
had triumphed over the Mussulman civiliza
tion in the East, a Syrian fanatic, in a kind
red spirit, sacrificed himself to the lrantic
expectation that the death of Kleber, the
successor of Bonaparte in the command of
the army of Egypt, would rid the Orient of
the accursed presence of the Giaour. Napo
leon himself, as First Consul and as Empe
ror, was called to confront a like peril; and
the darkest stain which’ rests upon his memo
ry, the capture and execution of the Duke de
Enghien, was excused to his own mind, and
is palliated by his admirers, on the ground
that the adherents of the old race of Bour
bon, the believer in the “right divine of kings
to govern wrong, ’’ had set a price upon his
life, and had erected assassination'into a part
of the lawful machinery of political warfare.
This excuse and palliation are sadly weak
ened by the fact that in his last will and tes
tament the exile of Bt. Helena bequeathed a
sum of money to a soldier of the empire,
who, after the definite failure of the cam
paign of 1815, undertook to redress the
wrongs of France and her elected chief by
the assassination of the Duke of Wellington,
the commander of the allied armies, and, as
the results of that campaign proved, the
best friend of French independence and
French liberty.
The Duke escaped the madman’s dagger ;
but had he fallen beneath it, his death would
have furnished, perhaps, the nearest parallel
that could be found in modern times to the
murder of Abraham Lincoln by a Southern
bravo at the very moment when he was strain l
ing to his utmost his executive authority to
restore peace to the Union on a basis of se
curity to tbe victorious North and of mercy
to the deluded South Were it possible now
to divert our minds from the intrinsic to the
spectacular aspects of the fearful scene on
which the attention of the civilized world
must now be fixed, the assassination of Gus
tavusllL, of Sweden, by Count Ankarstrom,
on the 16th of March 1702, would supply
a hardly less striking historical parallel.
Gustavus 111, haviug entered into an alli
ance with the continental monarchs to re
sist the invasions of France upon national in
dependence throughout Europe, wa9 com
pelled to levy burdensome taxes upon the
people. The discontent thus created was
made the excuse of a conspiracy against hi3
life, and at a masked ball in the palace, he was
approached from behind by, Ankarstrom,
who, armed with a pistol, and concealed by
his domino, shot the king through the back,
and made his escmuAjuMugh the crowd ere
he could be king died, and
the murderer, sulweqrontiy arrested and glo
rying in his crime, was put to death
Sweden, however, was not detached from
the European alliance; and the object aimed
at in this great crime was unattained. In
deed, if we except the political consequences
of the murder of the Duke of Berri, tbe
son of Charles X. of France, killed, like our
lamented President, at the theatre, in 1820, it
will not be easy to find a case in modern his
tory in which the results of a political assas
sination have not recoiled in ruin upon its
authors.
And even in the case of the Duke of Berri,
it is perhaps demonstrable that the cause of
the monarchy, aimed at in his person, was
notably strengthened and made longer ten
able, in spite of the folly of its supporters, by
the reaction of the public feeling against the
savage spirit which had actuated the assas
sins of an innocent and high-minded man.
Revolutions in all times and amODg all
races breed a feverish impatience of law, and
a contempt of the patient processes by Which
Providence accomplishes the welfare of na
tions, the natural tendency of which is to
stimulate hot and ill-balanced natures to su«h
crimes as that which now, for the first time
in our annals, appalls and maddens the
American people. But the ways ol God are,
and always have been, vindicated to man by
the sure though sometimes slow venneance
M.hich such crimes inevitably invoke, hoist
ing with their own petards the inventors and
engineers of those diabolical offences against
religion and humanity.
