some means for breaking it in Sher
man’s rear; and thus forcing upon the
latter the alternative of retreat or star
vation. To this end, he and the Gov
ernor of Georgia made the strongest
appeals to the Richmond government
for Forrest’s cavalry to be brought from
Mississippi and kept actively at the
work of destruction upon the railroad
bridges, etc.; using the argument that
it was better to take the risk of Feder
al raids in northern Mississippi than
to lose the opportunity of forcing into
disastrous retreat the invading army
which was driving its advance like a
wedge of steel into the very heart of
the Confederacy.
These entreaties, however, were with
out success, and the Western & Atlan
tic Railroad, despite Sherman’s con
stant apprehensions of the realization
of Johnston’s wish, remained the chief
means by which the invasion was sus
tained, and crowned with the fall of
Atlanta.
As a prominent Federal authority
said, after the war, to a Western A
Atlantic official, “The Union element
cannot be too thankful for the fact that
your road was in existence.”
“Then,” was the remark, “ the W.
& A. road should be the pride of every
true American, if by reason of its ex
istence the Union was saved.”
Tit for Tat.
That is a good story whkh is told of
General Forrest, the Confederate cav
alry commander, who gave General
Bragg some sensible advice after the
great battle of Chickamauga.
The Federal army having been dis
astrously defeated and driven back
into Chattanooga, Forrest went to
General Bragg, and, with a stick, draw
ing marks in the sand to illustrate his
ideas, remarked :
“Now, Gineral, the thing to do is
to throw forward strong skirmish lines,
occupy Missionary Ridge and Lookout
Mountain, place a battery or two on
each, and let them drop some shells
into Chattanooga, keep up a strong
demonstration all along the front
around Chattanooga, and then take
nearly the whole of the army and go
across the gap to Bridgeport, and you
will then be between the Yankee army
and Nashville, its base of supplies, and
if they try to get anything across the
country we can break that up with
our cavalry, and in this way we will
soon starve them out and capture their
whole army.”
General Bragg, in his exact and po
lite tone, exclaimed: “But General
Forrest, that would be contrary to all
THE KENNESAW GAZETTE.
the rules of war. Ifweweie to make
that movement we would have the en
emy in our rear.”
“Yes,” said Forrest, with very de
cided earnestness, “that’ so; but would’nt
ice be in ther’nt”
General Rosecrans, register of the
treasury, certifies the cost of our four
great wars as follows :
With Great Britain, 1773-6 $6,000,000
With Great Britain, 1812-15, 115,000,000
With Mexico, 1845-8 135,000,000
Between ourselves, 6,189,920,005
Total $6,441,920,905
War is a luxury that comes high,
and when we had to share it with oth
er people, some economy was practiced.
But when we had it all to ourselves it
was conducted regardless of expense. —
Ex.
Oh, no, you are mistaken. It does
not prove that we practiced any less
economy when we had the fight all to
ourselves than when we had it with
other nations; but it proves that we
fought a crowd that it was harder to
whip.
From Dalton, it is an easy trip to
several mineral springs; the most not
ed being Gordon Springs, Cherokee
Springs, Catoosa Springs, Cohutta
Springs and the Mineral Springs at
the foot of Rocky Face Mountain.
Beaufort and Surroundings.
Probably one of the quaintest cities
in the southeast is Beaufort, S. C.,
which is reached from Augusta, Ga.‘
via the Port Royal & Augusta Rail
way-
Passengers leaving Cincinnati on the
sleeping cars which run between Boyce
and Atlanta, over the Western & At
lantic Railroad, make close connection
in the union depot at Atlanta for Au
gusta, where connection is made in the
union depot for Port Royal and Beau
fort.
The journey can be pleasantly bro
ken by stopping over a day in Augusta
and seeing this beautiful city, and rid
ing out upon the famous “sand-hills”
which are unrivaled as being a sanita
rium.
At Beaufort they are pleasantly ac
commodated at the Sea Island Hotel,
and the old residences are the best
types remaining of the former civiliza
tion of the South.
Excursions can be taken from Beau
fort, on small vessels, to Bay Point, fa
mous as being the location of Confed
erate batteries in the operations around
Port Royal during the war, and where
there is one of the prettiest beaches in
the entire South. The surf bathing
here is superb.
