I Z~~~ .. . T if* —ZiHMaMI 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.
