TELLING THE TRUTH. Interesting Facts Coming to Light About the Atlanta Campaign. “A Memoir of the Life and Public Ser vices of Joseph Eggleston Johnston, for 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 ward A- Co., of Baltimore. The work is now about to be issued from the press, and the advance sheets, covering the Atlanta campaign, the conclusion that the volume 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 justify I was an official in whose capacity and will he judgment in railroad affairs all who had CUT PRICES Still the ule at Beall & Oakley’s. one of great interest and value. One of tlie opportunity of knowing anything of the most interesting chapters deals with I *‘ is oflicial management bad the utmost the fail of Atlanta and Sherman's raid, confidence. 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 God-fearing, country-loving fathers and mothers chivalro and their sides, in tion, whip the listed solely fr high-minded, uerotiK soldiers as ever t or drew saber. But by 10 inconsiderable propor- 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 tory. edge of the Central system, and particu larly of his division and its needs.—Sa vannah News. 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. Try BLACK.DRAUGHT tea for Dyspepsia. Interesting Reading.

We expect to have a word or two to say about 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. • BLACK-DRAUGHT tea cures Constipation. 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 tho diseases that are cured by that powerful medicine, P. P. P. The Hamll Building.
