TELLING THE TRUTH.
Interesting Facts Coming to Light About
the Atlanta Campaign.
“A Memoir of the Life and Public Ser

merly the Quartermaster General of the
Army of the I'nited States, and a Gen
eral in the Army of the Confederate
States of America,” is the title of a hand
some volume written by Bradley T.
Johnson, and published by R. H. Wood

The work is now about to be issued
from the press, and the advance sheets,
covering the Atlanta campaign,

Superintendent Starr Removed.
Superintendent W. W. Starr of the
main stem division of the Central rail
road has been removed, and H. R. Dill,
formeily superintendent of the main
stem and recently assistant to General
Superintendent MeBee, has been pro
moted to the place.
This is one of the most unexpected
changes that lias yet been made by the
Richmond A Danville management. It
was a matter of general congratulation
in Savannah, when old officials of high
standing were being displaced, that!
Superintendent Starr was retained. He

The historian says: [ It was understood that his retention
The federal army contained regiments wa » largely due to his accurate knowl-
from many northern states. In the
ranks were men whose ancestors had
died at Bunker Hill or had fallen at
Bcuua Vista. They wore the sons of

mothers

uorcenaries, who had ei
m seltish consideration:
They knew noting; they had no c /untry:
they never felt a pulsation'of patriotism,
nor a throb of honest enthusiasm.
in all the scenes that followed Sher
man, in all the gruesome memories of
that fearful march, in all the lurid pic
tures of crime and suffering, the only
light is that of some bright young “yan-
1(00,” always American, who interposes
—sometimes officer against private
soldier, sometimes private soldier
against officer—to shelter women, old
men and children against the “hum
mers,” the outpourings of the jails and
penitentiaries of the north, and'the
dregs of the mob in the continental
cities.
No tongue can tell, no pen can paint
the horrors of that thirty days’ march
of Sherman from Atlauta to Savannah.
He left Atlanta November 15; he reached
Savannah December 15; and in that
thirty days was packed as much of hu
man suffering as ever was experienced in
the same period in all the history of all
time.
Every morning details were sent in
advance and on the flanks. Justice re
quired that the men who remained in
tho ranks should share in the advantages
of these details. Of course, energy, en
terprise and courage made itself felt at
once among the “bummers,” aud the
more daring and boldest forthwith sup
plied themselves with good horses and
kept well mounted by that means.
There were many thoroughbred horses
in southern Georgia, and the stables of
the rich planters were stocked with the
best blood of Virginia and South Caro
lina.
The hummers .spread themselves over
the whole country for miles beyond
either Hank of the marching columns,
aud they robbed everything. Tho ne
groes were no more safe than the whites.
The especial objects of their search
were watches, jewelry and women’s
triukets. The old galley slave, fresh
from Toulon aud the French hulks, with
the brand on his shoulder and the limp
of the shackles on his leg, found a wide
field for the exercise of those talents
which had brought him to grief in his
own country.
Tho detailed account of the marcli to
the sea fully sustains this general de
scription of its character. The testimo
ny of well kuown ladies and gentlemen
in Georgia is brought forward to prove
that the invaders and their chief dis
graced every step of tlioir way by the
most brutal acts of arson and rapine.
To many of our readers this story is
by no means new, hut it is now for the
first time told so fully and graphically
that it will revive public interest in the
most stirring chapter of our war his

larly of his division and its needs.—Sa

Mr. Starr has many acquaintances aud
friends in Americas who will hear with
much surprise and regret of this unex
pected move. It would not have occa
sioned so much comment if he had gone
(»ut with Messrs. Gabbett, Shellman and
other leading officials, hut after having
been retained for some time and actually
appointed to the superintendency of the
main stem division, his sudden removal
seems rather strange.
Mr. Starr is too good a railroad man
to remain out of a position, and he will
not he idle long.

Curious Telegrams.
Mi. George Stantield, the accommo
dating manager of the Western Union
Telegraph office in this city, tells of
some of tho amusing telegrams sent by
the descendants of 11am through his of-
lice. Negroes arc not given to sending
telegrams, but occasionally one steps in
and wants to use the wires. Recently a
colored brother stepped up to the coun
ter and wrote out his message. When
he handed it over the operator read the
following: “I want to know is you
dead.” Tho message was sent as it was
written, but the sender looked in vain
for a refily. It never came, and the
party to whom it was addressed was
probably dead sure enough.

Look Out For It
Professor Foster’s predicted storm, it
it comes,will cross the Rocky mountains
to-day and will reach here to-day or to
morrow. Americus had a good rain
yesterday, but very little wind. Very
hot weather, says Professor Foster, will
precede this storm-wave, and several
local storms may be expected. The
weather will average hot during the last
of August and the first half of Septem
ber, after which a decided change may
be expected.
Professor Foster says next winter will
be a very early and severe one.
Syphilis, Rheumatism, Old Sores and
Ulcett, Scrofula and Catarrh are exactly
