The real object of Nbrrinsa'a Baid—a Van-
Uee view of it.
The New York Times announces that it is no!
of those who expect vast advantages from Sher
man's advance through Georgia, viewed “merely
as a raid,” and it goes on to give what, in its view,
does constitute the advantages which are to aris-
from it:
Georgia is^undoubtedly the granary of the Con
federacy, and to destroy its harvest will crippb
Lee’s army this winter T he cairving off of cat
tie and horses will, besides, lame the transporting
power of the rebel Confederacy. All these art
benefits of some importance, which we shall de
rive from Sherman's invasion.
But, on the other hand, the Confederacy is es
sentially au agricultural Sta'e. Vast breadths ot
land in South Carolina, Eastern Georgia and
North U arc ffi ,la formerly planted with cotton,
have been, during the last y ear, sown with wheat
and corn It will be exceedingly difficult to
- tarve out such a community
Again, a destructive iifvasion of this kind cre
ates a number of new enemies. Every mau rob
bed and stripped by the tempest of destruction
now sweeping through Georgia, is henceforth a
hundred fold a more bitter hater of the North and
the. Union than ever before. All doubtful and
lukewarm Southerners in that Stole have undoubt
edly become now iufin.-e’secessionists. It is just
os it would be here if Lee should sweep fhe banks
ot the Hudson in a Inoad track of desolation from
Albany to New York leaving nothing but black
ened homesteads and wasted forms. There would
be but one effect. Every Coppetbead would be
come at orfee a violent < nionist, or even perhaps
of which his withdrawal from Nashville was the
necessary preliminary, we, of course, do not
know. We think it reasonable to suppose, howev
er, that this plan involved the transfer of his
army further north. We have never imagined
that Gen. Hood intended to take Nashville by
issault. We can readily conceive, however, that
it might have been necessary, or proper, to make
a strong demonstration against that city in order
to facilitate his operations in its rear. By doing
so he has been able to detach Gen. Lyon with a
considerab'o force to blockade the Cumberland
and move into Kentucky, aud to send Forrest on
on a similar expedition to interrupt railroad com
muuication. It may have been important, too.
thus to employ Thomas’ attention in order to
transfer Breckinridge's command in safety to a
proper position. We do not know the where
abouts of this officer, but we do know that Bur
nridge entered Bristol a short time sinemwitha
few thousand men—a thing that could not hare
been done had Breckinridge been any where with
m the lines of his old department Late news
from the west places Gen B at Gallatin. Tenn
If this be not true to the letter we feel" quite tve! ;
assured that it approximates the truth. Hood,
having everything ready for the movement, now
turns Nashville and marches into Kentucky. Ii
he he joined there by Lyon, Breckinridge and
and Forrest, the programme we have marked out
for him will have been carried out. and the con
fusion of the Yankee General and the consterna
tion of the Yankee peop e will be the result.

in his message Lincoln recommends that the

invader, would be ten fold more strong; for there
is a certain limit, b.yond which, if von injure a j
man, nothing is loft but hate and despair. Every
raid, into the South or North, has a tendency’,
without question, to “encourage enlistments” on
the other side- Still, these are the necessary evils

exert on the Virginia campaign. Gen. Sherman
we may be sure, with his long head, is aiming at
something more than burning towns, grain, corn
cribs, or capturing useless cities. He is, besides,
only a lieutenant of General Grant; his move
ment is merely part of the great stragetic plan
which covers the whole country.
Having gained a new basis on the Georgia
coast, reprovisioned bis trains, renewed his am
munition and lested his men we maj’confidently
expect that his next movement will be Northward
He may . veil pass by Savannah and Charleston
bitth, make a new base at Bull’s bay, and a se
cm Jury base t Branchville and thus easily hold
», ;h ;i;ics of the rebel railroad system—the upper
and lower. From this point he could easily oper
ate toward North Carolina, sweeping the country
before him, until he bad formed a new base on the
North Carolina coast and begun his grand final
march into Virginia and the rear of Lee.
This would be the closing act of the rebellion,
and Lee would be placed in a worse position than
was Cornwallis at Yorktown.
One contretemps, however, might occur which
these supposed movements could not prevent. If

Yankee reports of recent operations around
Nnahvillo give a not very cm»nracing view of
the “situation” in niai quarter. ’They are i,^*
tainly later than anything wo have received from
Confederate soure*s, and may speak truth as far
as they go; but we imagine that they do not
give, and were not intended to declare, the whole
truth. We are inclined to believe that Oeneral
Hood has fallen back from his position immedi
ately in front of Nashville. That he did this vol
untarily we derive ample assurance from the fact
that he drove Thomas behind his fortifications
around that city and, since then, the latter could
have received but few if any re-inforcements —
The railroads leading north from Nashville have
cm tainly been cut, and fte Cumberland river
b’oi’kadr-d, and it is hardly possible that any
.urge force could have st-aggled through by any
other avenue to the rescue of the beleaguered
ciiy. It is fair to suppose that General Hood s
lines in front of Nashville were introduced, and
the idea that, after having whipped the Yankee
army strongly fortified at Franklin, the latter
should turn the tables ujron him when positions
were reversed is unreasonable, if not absurd —
We may rely upon it that Thomas never showed
his head outside of his intrenchments nnt "
found that Hood was retiring. He then made a
great flourish, sounded the charge, leaped bravely
over abandoned breastworks, attacked th6 rear
guard, with, perhaps, some success, and then,,
most consistently, tickled the Yankee nation with
a l* e -
What may be General Hood a plan of campaign

Lincoln must want money badly, to propose
such a scheme for raisiur it. He does want it
badly, in spite of ali the boastful assertions of his
message. Ho not only wants it badly, but he is
at a loss where to get it. The New York Tribune
tells us that, during the year 1862, the Yankee na
tion exported $18 000,000, and during the year
1863, $58 000,000 more gold than it imported
What the excess is this year we are not told, but
the Tribune says it is much greater than it was last
year.—Rich. Whig.
Disappointed.
We have an abolition journal—the St. Louis
Democrat, of t' e 6th inst.,—before ns, which, af
ter assuming Sherman would certainly reach the
sea coast, speculates vauntingly as to the results
of the campaign. The injury that would be in
flicted upon the country along the lino of march,
the cities that would probably be sacked, and in
jury to our railroad system, are all cited as great
Federal advantages: and then, to the extent the
fleecing column was able to commit outrage, the
enemy have obtained. But the Democrat goes
further iu its jubilant inventory, and says:
‘•The moral effect muBt be great. The display
of the old flag in the heart of Georgia, where there
is supposed, to be considerable latent Union sen
timent still existing, must have a most damaging
influence upon the fortunes of the Confederacy.
Whatevever Union sentiment still lingers in the
breasts cf the people will be revived, and made to
take form and adion, in the belief that redemption
aud protection are near, while the hearts of the
rebels will be correspondingly depressed by the
consciousness that henceforward their homes are
nowhere secure.”
In this peculiar the enemy were most grievious-
ly disappointed. If they were humbugged into
believing that “in the heart of Georgia there was
considerable latent Union sentiment still exiting,”
^i-nerience of the invading army among the
people must nave . n? thf. delusion. At
no point were the people found lacking in leauj
to the government ot their choice. Everywhere
it was clearly demonstrated that tho expected
“Union sentiment in the breast of the people”
was a myth. The people were found true
to the Confederacy, and enemies of the invaders,
and that SHERMAN was satisfied of this, is proven
by the treatment of them. If the outrages com
mitted, every where and upon everybody, do not
establish the fact that the Yankee commander
considered he was dealing with enemies, we
would ask what proof could he give ? Georgians
were trn to their country, and a vindictive wrath
was visited upon them Abolitiondom found no
sympathizers in tho Empire State of the South.

I From the Front.
It is reported that Shertnan has sent a
force from his army around to tho assis
tance of Foster’s troops on the Coosa-
whatchie. The enemy’s batteries in that
quarter have increased, as evidenced by
the continuous shelling of the railroad,
doing, however, very litile damage. Our
cavalry .continue to scour the country
around Hardeaville. In other respects
•flairs in that quarter aro unchanged.
A gentleman who left Savannah Thurs
day night, states that Sherman had sent
about three regiments into the city as a
guard. The remainder of his army is en
camped outRide the city. Sherman, it was
stated, had offered the mayor every assis
tance in preserving order, and had station
ed guards for the protection of private
houses, stores and public buildings- So
far as our informant had observed citizens
were unmolested and private property
rcspocted.
Our informant states that Sherman de
manded tho surrender of tho city of Sa
vannah unconditionally, stating that if
complied with favorable terms would be
showD to the garrison, but if not that he
would proceed to take it either by assault,
investment., or the more sure process of
starvation; aud if taken in that manner
no quarter would be given to the garrison,
nor would he be responsible for the con
duct of his troops. He afterwards sent a
copy of Generals Hood’s demand for the
surrender of Dalton.
Sherman’s Inspector General who was
bearer of the flag of truce with this infor-
medjone of our officers, Captain Macbeth,
that Sherman came very near being killed
a day or two previous by a fragment of
shell from our side. His body servant, was
killed and Sherman barely escaped by
dodging behind a rock.
Const. 28///.
From a gentleman who visited Savannah
last Sunday under flag of-truce, we learn
that everything 16 perfectly quiet in the
city, a d that a number of steamboats
8warmed in the river, something like old
time6.
Private property has been respected, aud
that nothing has been burnt in the city ex
cept M.. Willinks, Ship Yard, and Mr.
Robert’s Mills.
Gen. Sherman’s Headquarters is at the
residence of Mr. Chas. Green; Slocum at
John E Wards; Gen. Howards at Mr. Mul-
yneux, and Gen. Ward’s at Mr. Wetter’s.
The city is to be garrisoned with negro
troops under the command of Gen. Fos
ter.
Gen. Shermfn has by an order refused
to receive any more flags of truce from >ub-
ordinate officers, and says if his boats run
ning on the river are fired into, he will
force every citizen in the city to leave
it immediately.—Cdnst ‘28th.

Civil Disorders.
The war is developing an incidental mischief so vast
and so serious as to threaten the subversion of public
order and private security, and, as a matter of course,
the crippling of all roeources for defence against the
common enemy.
We are credibly informed that representations and
complaints pour into the Executive office; from nearly
all quarters of the State—from the Tennessee to the
Florida border alleging the total insecurity alike ot
person and property from numerous bands of desertors
and stragglers, who, under every variety of pretence
or no pretence at all, commit most shameful acts of
violence and spoilation. In the northern counties these
banditti are made up of deserters from both the Fed
eral and Confederate armies. These rascals roam
round frotp house to house—from county to county—
plundering the scanty stores of the distressed and im
poverished people ; but they have the candor to avow
the precise character of their operations. They do not
seek to disguise the fact that they are eDgage.l in sim
ple robbery.
In the lower counties however, the system of univer
sal plunder is carried on under various pretences of
“impressment.” There it is performed almost wholly
by organized bands of stragglers and deserters from
the Confederate armies, who are generally mounted
and always claim to belong to some command not far
from the scene of their iabors. Like the Cowboys and
Skinners of the revolution, these scoundrels seek the
fairest, fattest and most quiet portion of our territory
for the theatre of their ai
epr
suddenly upon prosperous plantations, and sweep them
of the best laboring stock, and such stores of meat,
grain and forage as they can carry off, under pretence
of a legal impressment. If this be disputed, they
drop all attempt at satisfaction and begin to threaten
and bluster. At this, too, they are sometimes foiled, if
the proprietor show arms and a determination to use
them at all hazards; we have heard of instances where a
g iug of seven or eight has been frightened off for a
rime by therecklosscourage of a single man.
But these cases are rare. The maurauders are
strong—the planters are uuarmed or peacefully dis
posed, and often tlie spoil is unprotected by even a
singte’white man. Stripped otits fighting population to
fill the army, the most productive regions of Georgia
lie at the inercy of these armed and mounted brigands.
The plantations which must feed our brave armies in
t he field m e now daily exposed to these merciless spoli
ations. The gathered crops and the horses and mules
which are the dependence for future production, are
the constant subjects of these depredations. And
even worse than the material loss the insecurity nnd
terror produced by such « state of affairs. No man
will loug labor if the possession of the fruits of his indus
try can not be secured to him. The productive resources
ot the country must disappear under this incubus uuless
it can be removed and that speedily.
We submit that these public disorders show conclu
sively the impolicy and suicidial character of the prac
tice of “putting everybody who can carry a gun” into
the army. Enough of men besides mero octogenarians
must be kept at home not only to raise food bnt also
to maintain public order. The practical result of send
ing men over fifty-five into camp, has been and will
continue to be, to let out ofservice a still greater num
ber ander forty five, to disturb the quiet of a country
stripped of all its natural guardians.
But aside from this, it is clear that seme vigorous
policy must be adopted to crush this brigaudism and re
store public security. We have no more dangerous
foes to liberty, independence or property than these
gangs ».w —- nnw tfuawiug our vitals’.
From a bore Atlanta*
From tt gentleman from up the road we learn tho
following newH from tho country above Atlanta.
IJManassaa, formerly Caasville, the county seat of
Bartow county, was almost entirely destroyed by the
Yankees. Three churches and only four houses are all
that is left to mark the spot where lately stood a thn-
Vl jfoYhe1>usines8 houses in Calhoun, Gordon county,

“Whar is the Front?”—It is well known
that Wheeler has some splendid troops, and some
who are as bad as can be found. These last are
scattered from the Ohio river to Savannah. A
brave and gallant soldier tells the following;
He was going through north Alabama to rejoin
Lis command. Stopped at a house to dinner. To
old lady’s “Who’s youin’s?” replied “Wheeler’s
cavalry.” “WhargwineT” “To the front.” The
old lady put on her spectacles and eyed him in
tently, then drawled out. “Mister, some o’ them
fellers, you call Wheeler’s hoss critters, been
gwine by here every day. Some war gwine north,
sum gwine south, some east and some west,
some this way and some that—they a’l sed tbey
war gwine to the front, now roister kin yon tell
me whar is the front? The soldier left.
