WEDNESDAY MAY 26, 1875.
EMPTY.
BT EDOAB FAWCETT.
Yonr eotj crib is in the corner jet;
I sit and wstch it. Jost as dsj is dead.
Yon cannot press again, my vanished pet.
Its pillow with jour drowaj golden head.
You cannot reach plump arms to get mj kies,
Or dart about with rosy, naked feet,
Babbling soft syllables of this and that—
A tiny night-gowned fairy, blithe and sweet.
Once and for all you have been lain down to
rest.
Not to rise up because of birds or beams;
Once and for all, with white flowers on your
breast.
To slumber coldly and to dream no dreams.
Empty the home where, frolicsome and fair,
Yoar precious presence made so bright a
part;
Empty your little crib, your clothes, your
'chiur.
But emptiest of all your mother's heart'.
IP WE KNEW.
If we knew the care -and crosses.
Crowding round our neighbor's way ;
If we knew the little losses
Surely grievous day by day.
Would we then so often chide him
For the lack of thrift aDd gain—
Leaving on his heart a shadow.
Leaving on our hearts a stain ?
It we knew the clouds above ns.
Held by gentle blessings there.
Would we tarn away all trembling,
In our blind and weak despair i
Would we shrink from little shadows,
Lying on the dewy grass.
While 'tie only fires of Eden.
Just in mercy flying past ?
If we knew the silent story
Quivering through the heart of pain.
Would our womanhood dare doom them
Back to haunts of guilt again ?
Life has many a tangled crossing,
Joy had many a break of woe,
And the cheeks, tear-washed, are whitest—
This the blessed angels know.
Let ns reach into our bosoms
For the key to others lives,
And with love to erring nature
Cherish good that slill survives ;
So that when our robed spirits
Sosr to realms of light again.
We may say. dear Fattier. Judge us,
As we Judge our fellow-men.
—
NOTHING TO DO.
A strip of snowiest linen,
Half brotdered and stamped with blue,
And the gleam of the threadless needle
Piercing the pattern through.
The needle is ready, yet the sweet little lady
Sits sighing for something to do.
Heaped on the table beside her
Blossoms of every hue;
Delicate, odorous roses—
The rarest that ever grew.
The vase stands ready, while the sweet little
lady
Sits wishing for something to do.
Half hid under flowers, a volume
in daintent gold and bine,
Just parted, as if it would open
At "The Miller's Daughter” for yon:
The book lie - ready, yet the sweet little lady
Sits sighing for something to do.
A silent harp in the corner,
And melodies old and new
Scattered in pretty disorder—
Songs of the false and true !
The harp stands ready—still the sweet little
lady
Sits longing for something to do.
A sudden wind-sweep and flutter—
The door wide open blew ;
A step in the hall, and swiftly,
Lika a bird, to the threshold she flew ;
Blushing, already the sweet little lady
Forgets she lias nothing to do.
CASTLES.
There is a picture in my brain,
Tli at only fades to come again—
The sunlight, through a veil of rain
, To leeward gliding ;
A narrow stretch of brown sea sand,
A light house half a league ahead.
And two young lovers, hand in hand,
A castle building.
Upon the budded apple trees
The robins sing by twos and threes,
And ever at the faintest breeze
Down drops a blossom:
And ever would that lover bo
The wind that robs the bourgeon’d tree,
And lifts the soft trees daintily
On Beauty's bosom.
Ah ! gray beard, what a happy thing
It was when life was in its Spring,
To peep through love's betrothal ring
At Field’s Elysian.
To move and breathe in magic air,
To think that all that seems is fair—
Ah, ripe young mouth and golden hair,
Thou pretty vision!
Well, well, I think not on these two,
But the old wound breaks out anew,
And the old dream, as if 'twore true,
In my heart nestles;
Then tears came welling to my eyes,
For yonder, aii in Baintly guise,
As ’twere, a sweet dead woman lies >
Upon the trestle.

WHEN MARY WAS A LASSIE.
A WAIT.
The maple trees are tinged with red,
The brick with golden yellow.
And high above the orchard wall
Hang apples rich and mellow ;
And that's tho way. through yonder lane,
That looks so still and grassy—
The way I took one Sunday eve,
When Mary was a lassie.
You'd liardly think that patient face,
That looks bo thin and faded,
Was ouco the very sweetest oua
That ever bonnet shaded;
But when I went through yonder lane,
That looks bo still and grasey,
Those eyes woro bright, those cheeks were
fair.
When Mary was a lassie.
But many a tender sorrow,
And many a patient care
Havo made those furrows on the face
That used to bo so fair.
Four times to yonder church yard,
Through the lane so still and grassy,
We’ve home aud laid away our dead,
Since Mary was a lassie.
And bo you see I've grown to love
The wrinkles more than roses;
Earth's Winter flowers are sweeter far
Thau all Spring’s dewy fossils:
They’ll carry us through yonder lane
That looks so still aud grassy,
A down the lane I used to go
When Mary was a lassie.
ONLY A WOMAN.
Only a womau, shriveled and old!
The’ play of the winds and the prey of the
cold!
Cheeks that are shrunken,
Eves that are sunken,
tips that were never o’er bold.
Only a womau forsaken aud poor.
Asking an alms at the bronze church door.
Hark to the organ ! roll upon roll
The waves of the music go over her soul!
Silks rustle past her
Thicker and faster;
The great bell ceases its toll.
Fain would sho enter, but not for the poor
Swingeth wide open the bronze church door.
Only a woman—waiting alone,
Icily cold, on an ice-cold throne.
' What do they care for her ?
Mumbling a prayer for her.
Giving not bread, but a stone.
Under old laces their haughty hearts beat,
Mocking the woes of their kin in the Btreet.
Only a woman ! Iu the old days
Hope caroled to her her happiest lays ;
Somebody missed her,
Somebody kissed her.
Somebody crowned her with praise ;
Somebody faced up the battles of life
Strong for her sake who was mother, or wifo.
Somebody lies with a trese of her hair
Eight on his heart where the death shadows
are
Somebody waits for her.
Opening the gates for her,
Giving delight for despair.
Only a woman—nevermore poor—
Dead in the snow at the brouze church door !

AN AUTUMN JOY.
BT GEORGE ARNOLD.
It is a fair autumual day;
The ground is strewn with yellow leaves:
The maple stems gleam bare and gray;
The grain is bound in golden sheaves.
Afar I heart! the speckled quail
Pipe shrilly "mid tne stubble dry,
And muffled'beats from busy flails
Within the barn near by.
The latest roses now are dead;
Their portals scattered far and wide;
The sumach berries, ncbly red,
Bedeck the other side.
A dreamy calm is in the air—
A dreamy echo on She sea:
Ah 1 never was a day more fair
Than this, which blesses me 1
I see the shocks of ripened corn—
The yellowed mosses on the roof—
The diamond dew-drops of the mom
That string with gems the spider'e woof :
An azure blaze is hanging low
About the outline of the hills.
And chanting sea-fowls southward go
Front marshes, flats and kils.
For many years the An:nmn brought
A solemn sadness to my soul;
It eembered e’en my brightest thought.
And on my gayest moments stole:
Twassad, yet sweet—a strange alloy
Of hope "and sorrow intertwined —
This Autumn brings me only joy.
No shadow haunts my mind.
And whv is this ? The dead leaves fall—
The blossoms wither as of old:
And Winter comes, with snowy pall.
To wrap ti e earth bo still an cold.
The sea-fowls, strong athwart the sky,
Still chant their plaintive monotone:
And whv. when leavee aud blossoms die,
Should I feel joy alcne ?
O ask me not—l most not tell:
I dare not all my heart disclose—
A fairy wove a magic spall
A outid me: when decayed the rose.
Two gifts did fading Summer bring—
Two sjmbols of unfailing bliss—
Upon my finger glows a ring,
Upon my Ups a kiss!
A printer, hard of hearing, at a spell
ing match the other evening, asked the

so a fellow can tell what ’tia.”
SHERMAN’S BOOK.
Memoirs of Gen. W. T. Sherman—His
Views of Important Military Opera
tions - Interesting Excerpts.
[New York Herald.]
The Fall of Atlanta.
Atlanta fell, as men will remember
who recall the anxiety that pervaded the
country during that trying time of 1864.
McClellan had .been nominated for the
Presidency against Lincoln, and the
Hummer had almost passed before the
anticipated successes of Grant had b en
realized. The Confederate armies were
making a gallant resistance in Virginia
aud the West. Grant was steadily “peg
ging away” through the Wilderness, aud
Sherman was slowly forcing his army
into the mouniains of Georgia. The
country had almost despaired of a vic
tory, when suddenly the Confederate
troops abandoned Atlanta, which town
was occupied by General Slocum. When
steady, serious old Thomas heard the
news lie “ snapped his fingers, whistled
and almost danced.” “As the news
spread through the army, the shouts
that arose from the army,” says Sher
man, “ the wild hallooing and glorious
laughter were to us a fall recompense
for the labor and toil au4 hardships
through which we hud pased in the pre
vious three months.” Letters of con
gratulation were sent by Lincoln and
Grant and a salute of shotted guns was
fired from the batteries around Rich
mond. Sherman became the most popu
lar soldier of the war. His campaign
defeated McClellan aud decided the re- j
election of President Lincoln. Sherman;
took possession of Atlanta and carried j
out a s vere measure, for which he was |
criticised at the time. He ordeied all the j
inhabitants to leave. General Hood, j
who commanded the Confederates, an
swered that the measure “transcends in j
studied and ingenious cruelty all acts j
that ever before were brought to my at
tention in the dark history of war.” The
correspondence was angry and eloquent,
Sherman arraigned Hood and the whole
Sonth in fervent aud not always wise
rhetoric. Hood replied that the course
of General Bntler in New Orleans was
even more hnmaue and considerate than
that of Sherman, and “better a thous
and deaths than to live under Sherman
End his negro allies.” But Sherman was
imperative in his resolution. “If,” he
said to Halleek at the time, “the people
raise a howl against my barbarity and
cruelty, I will answer that war is war
and not popularity seeking. If they
want peace, they and their relatives
must stop the war.” But if Sherman’s
course was severe it was justified by the.
orders from Washington. Halleck’s
letter to Sherman, commenting upon
the controversy with Hood, shows the
angry feeling which animated even cairn
officers of the regular army. “I would,”
says Halleek, “destroy every mill aud
factory within reach which I did not
want for my own use. This the rebels
have done, not only in Maryland and
Pennsylvania, but also in Virginia and
other rebel States, when compelled to
fall back before our arms. In many
sections of the country they have not
left a mill to grind corn for their own
suffering families, lest we might use
them to supply our armies. We must
do the same."
Who Planned the March to the Sea.
The general opinion has been that,
while General Sherman commanded the
army which marched from Atlanta to
Savannah, and from thence to Rich
mond, the conception of the plan be
longs to General Grant. It is well tha'
this question should be decided. In
many respects the march to the sea
stands out from the rebellion as the most
brilliant achievement of the war. On
the 12th of September, 1804, General
Grant wrote to Sherman from City
Point that he did not know exactly what
to do with Sherman’s' army, and was
disturbed by tho difficulties of supply
ing it, and intimated that it might be
well (o threaten Macon and Augusta.
To this letter General Sherman replied,
saying he would not hesitate to cross
the State of Georgia with 60,000 men,
hauling come stores and depending ou
the country for the balance ; that
“where a million of people find subsist
ence my army won’t starve.” He did
not believe in penetrating Georgia with
out an objective beyoud. “It would be
productive of much good. I can start,
east, and make a circuit south and back,
doing vast damage to the State, but re
sulting in no permanent good, and by
threatening to do so I hold a rod over
the Georgians, who are not over loyal to
the South.” He concludes by advising
that Grant’s and Cuuby’s armies should
be reinforced, and that he should keep
Hood employed and put his own army
in fine order for a march on Augusta,
I Columbia and Charleston. “The pos-
I session of the Savannah river is more
| fatal to the possibility of Southern iu
| dependence. He may stand the fall of
j Richmond, but not the fall of Georgia.”
I “If yon cau whip Lee and I can march
j to the Atlantic, I think Uneie Abe will
I give us twenty days’ absence to see the
young folks.” This is the first indica
tion in this correspondence of what af
terward became the famous march to
the sea.
Ghaut Hesitates Over the March.
To this letter Gen. Giant answered,
September 6, “It would be better to
drive Forrest out of Tennessee, as a
first step to do anything else you may
feel your force sufficient for.” But
Sherman would not abandon his sea
dream. On the 9th of October he tele
graphed to Thomas, “I want to destroy
all the roads below Chattanooga, includ
ing Atlanta, and to make for the sea
coast;” aud again, to Grant, “1 can
make this march and can make Georgia
howl.” General J. H. Wilson was sent,
down to command the cavalry, Graut’s
idea evidently being that Wilson at the
head of the cavalry force ndgnt do in
Georgia what Sheridan had done in Vir
ginia; “and Grant,” says ShermaD, “ad
vised that Wilsou should be sent South
to accomplish all that I had proposed to
do with the main army; but I had not
so much faith iu cavalry as he had, and
preferred the first.” Grant nguin urged
Sherman to destroy Hood’s army before
thinking of his march across to the sea,
and the next day Sherman answered him
that Thomas was strong enough to
handle Hood, aud that “the best results
would follow the contemplated move
ment through Georgia.” Evidently this
dispatch decided Gen. Grant’s mind, for
the 2d of November he telegraphed: “I
do not see that you can withdraw from
where you are to follow Hood without
giving up all we havo gained iu ter
tory. I say. then, go on as you
propose.” “This,” says Gen. Sherman,
“was the first time that General Grant
assented to the march to the sen, and
although many of his friends aud ad
mirers insist that he was the author aud
projector of that march, and that I
simply executed plans, General Grant
has never, in my opinion, thought so or
said so.” “I have often been asked by
well-meaning frieuds when the thought
of that march first eutered my mind. I
knew that au army which had penetrated
Georgia as far as Atlanta could not turn
back—it must go ahead ; but when, how
aud where depended on many consider
ations. As soon as Hood crossed from
liovejoy’s to Palmetto, I saw the move
in my mind’s eye, aud after Jefferson
Davis’ speech at Palmetto, on Beptem
l>er 2G, 1 was more positive in my con
viction, but was iu doubt as to the time
and manner.” We think there can be
no doubt of the fact that the march to
the sea was thoroughly the conception
of Sherman aud that he believed the
success of the march woulJ result iu the
fall of Richmond. On the 7th of No
vember, five days after this dispatch,
giving formal assent, General Grant
telegraphed approving the plans and
saving : “ I think everything here is
favorable now. Great good fortune at
tend yon. I believe you will be eminent
ly successful, and at most can only make
a* march less fruitful than hoped for.”
The March to the Sea.
On the 10th of November, 1864, Sher
mau set out upon bis march. His army
was divided into a right and left wing
under the command of General* How
ard and Slocnm, and was composed of
about 60,000 men. Most extraordinary
efforts bad been made to purge it from
non-combatants aud sick men, and every
soldier in the ranks was “well equipped
and provided as well as human foresight
could with all the essentials of life,
streugth and vigorons action.” Pro
visions enough for twenty days and
forage for five were taken. Sherman’s
description of the morning when the
march began is vivid aud picturesque:
“We stood upon the very ground where
on was fought the bloody battle of July
22, and could see the copse of woo’d
where McPherson feiL Behind ns lay
Atlanta smouldering and iu ruins, the
black smoke rising high in air and hang
ing like a pall over the ruined city.”
“Bight before us the fourteenth corps,
marching steadily and rapidly with a
cheery and swinging pace, njade light
of the many hnudred miles that iay be
tween us and Richmond. Some band
struck np the anthem of John Brown.
The men caught up the strain, and never
before or siuee have I heard the chorus
done with more spirit or better harmony
of time and place. Then we turned our
horses’ heads to the east. Atlanta was
soon lost behind the screen of trees and
became a thing of the past. Around it
clings many a thought of desperate bat
tle, of hope and fear, which now seem
like the memory of a dream, and I have
never seen the" place since. The day
was extremely beautiful; clear sunlight,
with bracing air, and an unusual feeling
of inspiration seemed to pervade ali
minds—the feeling of something to
come, vague aud undefined, still full of
venture and intense interest. Even the
common soldiers caught the inspiration,
. an ’
and many a group called out to me as I
worked my way past them, ‘Uncle Bil
ly, I gness Grant is waiting for ns :n
Richmond.’ Indeed the general senti
ment was that we were marching for
Richmond, where we shonld end the
war.” “I had no purpose to march di
rect for Richmond by way of Augusta
and Charlotteville, but always did de
sign to reach the seac mst at Savannah
or Port Royal, and ever kept in mind
the alternative of Pensacola.”
The Capture of Savannah.
We learn from the memoirs of Gen
eral Sherman that the capture of Savan
nah was also his own act, against the
wishes of General Grant. As soon as
Sherman arrived at Savannah Grant
wrote to him to fortify himself on the
seaeoast, leave behind artillery and
cavalry and to bring the balance of'bis
command to Richmond. Sherman re
plied that he would prefer to take Sa
vannah, thence to march toward Colum
bia and Raleigh. Thomas had not at
tacked Hood, as * was expected ; and
Grant, impatient for the contest, had
thought of going to Nashville in per
son, but contented himself with send
ing out Logan to relieve Thomas. In
obedience to Sherman’s urgency, Grant
changed his niind abont embarking his
troops, and the result was the capture of
Savannah on December 22J, 1804, and
an order from Grant to carry out his
own ideas and to march with his entire
army by land.
Sherman and Lincoln.
Then came the march through the
Carolinas from Charleston steadily
north and the burning of Columbia,
which General Sherman believes to have
been an accident arising from the crimi
nal folly of the Confederates in setting
fire to their cotton. When the army
reached Goldsboro Sherman took a run
up to City Point to meet Lincoln. The
President remembered him perfectly,
and they engaged in the most interest
ing conversation. Having made a good
long social visit, they took their leave
and went to General Grant’s quarters,
where Mrs. Grant had provided tea.
“While at the table,” says Sherman,
“Mrs. Grant inquired if we had seen
Mrs. Lincoln.” “No,” said the Gener
al, “I did not ask for her and I added
that I did nofeeven know that she was
on board.” "Mrs. Grant then exclaimed,
“Well, you are a pretty pair,” and ad
ded that our neglect was unpardonable,
when the General said we would call
again the next day aDd make amends
for the uuintended slight. The next
day they called, and Mrs. Lincoln, who
was not well, did not see them. Gen
eral Sherman gives full notes of his con
versation with President Lincoln. “Of
all the men 1 ever have met he seemed
to possess more of the elements of great
ness, combined with goodness, than any
other. Whan at rest or listening his
legs and arms seemed to hang almost
lifeless, and his face was careworn and
haggard; but the moment he began to
talk his face lightened up, his tali form
as it were unfolded, and he was the very
impersonation of good humor and fel
lowship. The last words I recall as ad
dressed to me were that he would feel
better when I was back at Goldsboro,
We parted at the gangway of the River
Queen about noon of March 28, and I
never saw him again.” During this con
versation General Sherman asked Presi
dent Lincoln what should be done to
Jefferson Davis and the political lead
ers. *yAs to Jefferson Davis,” says
Sherman, “Mr. Lineolu was hardly at
liberty to speak his mind fully, but inti
mated that be had better clear out, es
cape the country, only it would not do
for him to say so openly. As usual he
illustrated his meaning by a story. A
man who once had taken the total absti
nence pledge when visiting a friend was
invited to take a drink, but declined on
the score of his pledge, when his friend
suggested lemonade, which was accept
ed. In preparing the lemonade the
friend pointed to the brandy bottle, and
said that the lemonade would be more
palatable if lie were to pour in a little
brandy, and his guest said if he could
do so unbeknown to him, he would not
object, from which illustration I infer
red that Mr. Davis was to escape unbe
known-to him.”
Preparing for Atlanta.
Still greater events were impending.
General Sherman’s three officers—Thom
as, McPherson and Schofield—were men
of education and experience, “who pos
sessed special qualities of mind and
character which,” he says, “fitted them
in the highest degree for the work then
in contemplation.” The number of
troops under his command amounted in
all to about 350,000 men, of which he
regarded more than 180,000 as lit for
duty. General Sherman’s first plan was
to take 100,000 men as a compact army
for active operations, leaving 80,000 for
garrison aud to guard the lines of sup
plies. He organized three armies—the
Cumberland, Tennessee and the Ohio
and, to make the movements as swift
and mobile as possible, he allowed only
one wagon and one ambulance to a regi
ment, and compelled each officer aud
soldier to carry food and clothing
enough for five days on his person. The
army of the Cumberland was intrusted
to the command of General Thomas, the
Tennesseo to that of General McPher
son, and the Ohio to that of General
Schofield. It was difficult to enforce the
regulation in reference to the paucity of
baggage, and dear old General Thomas
could not make up his mind to sleep on
the ground like the soldiers. Sherman
frequently called his attention to the
orders upon the subject, rather jestingly
than seriously. “Thomas,” he says,
“would break out against his officers for
hating such luxuries, but, needing a
tent himself and being good naturedand
slow to act, he never enforced my orders
perfectly. In addition to his regular
wagon train he had a big wagon, which
could be converted into an office, aud
this we used to call ‘Thomas’ Circus.’ ”
Sometimes the General would find quar
termasters had hidden away teuts and
mess fixtures of the most comfortable de
scription, and these he always broke up.
The result of his efforts was that he
doubts if any army ever went forth to
battle with fewer impediments.
The Atlanta Campaign.
So, with 100,000 men ready in hand,
Sherman made ready to move against
Joseph E. Johnston, who commanded
the forces of the South. Upon assum
ing command of the army of the United
States, General Grant issued orders as
signing Sherman his part in the cam
paign, which was to work toward a com
mon centre. In reading this letter of
General Grant to General Sherman,
written April 4, 1804, we find the pur
pose of Grant was to fight only the
Southern armies. Banks was in Lou
isiana, about to move upon his unhappy
aud disastrous Red River expedition.
Sigcl was in West Virginia, protecting
the railroads. Grant did not anticipate
much from Sigel, but, as he quaintly ex
pressed it in his letter to Sherman, “ If
Sigel can’t skin himself, he can hold a
leg while someone else skins.” His
only instructions to General Sherman
were “ to move against Johnston’s army,
to break it up and to get into the inte
rior of the enemy’s country as far as
you can, inflicting all the damage you
cau agaiust their war resources. ” This
letter, writteu on the 4th of April, 1864,
demonstrates clearly that President
Grant had no idea at that time of what
it was possible for Sherman to do; that
he bad not conceived either the possible
fall of Atlanta, or that brilliant march
through Georgia to the sea which has
given immortality to Sherman’s name.
Sherman, in replying to this letter
a week later, intimated that he
might possibly attack Atlanta, but >
the best he could hope for was to
march into Georgia. “ Georgia,” he;
writes, “ has a million of inhabit
ants. If they oan live we shonld hot;
starve.” “I will inspire my command, j
if successful, with the feeling that beef
and salt are all that is absolutely neces
sary to life, aud that parched corn once j
fed Qeuecul Jackson’s army on that very
ground." Grant replied admonishing
Sherman to beware, lest the enemy
in a fit of desperation, might abandon
Richmond aud fall back upon him to
crush him, and telling him that if John
ston “shows signs of joining follow him
up to the full extent of your ability. I
will prevent the concentration of Lee
upon your front if it is jn the power of
bis arinv to do it.” So instructed Sher
man eat forth upon the sth of May on
his campaign into Georgia, the day ap
pointed by Grant for bin own campaign in
Virginia. His army was in light raareh
ing trim; he himself had less accommo
dation than an prdinary brigade com
mander, desiring, as he did, to set the
army an example of being “able to start
at a moment’s notice and to subsist on
the scantiest food.” He had obtained
records of the census tables showing the
population and statistics of every Bounty
in Georgia, the number of horses and
cattle sud the probable agricultural re
sources—a wise precaution considering
that he meant to live os the country.
McPherson, he thinks, could have taken
Resaca on 11th of May, but he fell back.
“Suehan opportunity,” Sherman says,
“does not ooour tjricp in a single life,
but at the critical moment ifcPhefssn
seems to have been a little timid; still
he was perfectly justified by his orders.”
Dl- sessions In the Confederate Army.
The question has often been asked
whv it was that the Confederate army
did' not fight a pitched battle in ik
neighborhood of Cassville. Sherman
himself found at Cassville all the pre
paration for a grand battle, and among
them a long line of fresh intreuchments.
Johnston had under his command three
army corps, those of Hood, Pola and
Hardee, numbering in all about 60,000
men. After the war, he says, ho met
General Johnston, and they talked their
I battle* over at the friendly card table.
Johnston said that he intended to fight
Sherman at Cassville, and the action
was to begin in the morning. While at'
supper, however, Genera! Hood inform
ed him that his army was enfiladed by
the Union artillery—an opinion confirmed
by General Polk and other of his com
manders. Hood and Polk both feared
that they could not hold their men.
General Johnston, says Sherman, “ was
provoked, accused them of having
been in conference, with being
beaten before battle, and added
that he was unwilling to engage
in a critical battle with an army so su
perior to his own in numbers, with two
of his three corps commanders dissatis
fied with the ground and positions as
signed them.” Consequently he re
treated south of the Allatoona range.
The close of May left Sherman in com
mand of this range and opened the way
to the Kenesaw Mountains.
The Death of General Polk.
Sherman kept pushing his way down
toward Atlanta. It was in this ca npaign
that General Leonidas Polk, who
had been a Bishop of the Southern
Episcopal Church, lost his life. The
story of his death is one of the drama
tic incidents of the war, reminding us
of the death of the famous French Gen
eral Moreau, who was killed by a shot
from a battery which had been fired by
the special order of Napoleon. On June
14th General Sherman, in conversation
with General Howard, observed, at the
distance of 800 yards, a group of Con
federate officers, evidently watching the
Federal troops through glasses. Sher
man called General Howard’s attention
to this group and ordered him to com
pel it to keep behind its cover. Howard
answered that his orders from Gen
eral Thomas were to spare ar
tillery ammunition. “ That was
right according to the general
policy,” says Sherman. “I explained to
him that we must keep up the morale
of the bold offensive ; that he must use
his artillery to force the enemy to re
main on the timid defensive, and order
ed him to cause a battery close by to
fire three volleys.” One of these volleys
killed General Polk. General Johnston
afterward explained to General Sherman
the exact manner of General Polk’s
death. He had ridden to Pine Moun
tain, accompanied by Generals Hardee
and Polk. He noticed the preparation
at Sherman’s battery to fire and caused
the soldiers to scatter. “They did so,”
says Johnston, “and he likewise hurried
behind the parapet, from which he had
an equally good view of the position,
but General Polk, who was dignified
and corpulent, walked slowly, not wish
ing to appear too hurried or cautious in
the presence of the men, and was struck
across the breast by an exploded shell,
which killed him instantly.” “It has
lieen charged,” says Sherman, “that I
fired the shot which killed Gen. Polk,
and that I knew it was directed against
that General. The fact is, that at that
distance we could not even tell that the
group were officers at all. I was on
horseback a couple of hundred yards off
before my orders to fire were' executed,
and had no idea that our shot had taken
effect.”
The March to the Sea.
General Sherman’s style becomes pic
turesque and vivid in treating of this
march to the sea. At Covington the
negroes were simply frantic with joy,
and clustered about his horse, shouting
and praying in their quaint style, which
had a peculiar eloquence “ that will
move a stone,” and “ I can now see a
poor girl, in the very ecstaey of the
Methodist shout, hugging the tattered
banner of one of the regiments and
jumping up to the feet of Jesus.” Then
there came an old gray-haired negro—
“ about as fine a head as I ever saw. I
asked him if he understood abont the
war and its progress. He said that he
did, that he had been looking for the
angel of the Lord ever since he was
knee high, and, though we professed to
be figlitiug for the Union, he supposed
that slavery was the cause, and our suc
cess would be his freedom. I asked
him if all the negro slaves comprehend
ed this fact, and he said they surely
did.” It was a hard time with the plan
tation of Howell Cobb, the famous rebel
general, when Sherman reached it. He
gave orders to General Davis to spare
nothing, and that night the plantation
was destroyed. “ Sitting in front of
the fire that evening,” says the General,
“I became conscious that a negro, with
a tallow candle in his hand, was scan
ning my face closely. I inquired ‘ What
do you want, old man ?’ He answered,
‘ Dey Tjay yon is Massa Sherman.’ I
answered that such was the case, an 3 in
quired what he wanted. He only wauted
to look at me and kept muttering
‘disnigger can’t sleep dis night.’—
There were appeals from the
Southerners to rouse and defend tlieir
native soil, but Shermau kept marching
steadily od. “When the soldiers took
Milledgeville they organized a Legisla
ture of their own and had merry pranks.
Beauregard called on the Georgians to
rise for the defense of their soil, as he
was hastening to join them. Senator
Hill telegraphed from Richmond that
every citizen with his gun and every ne
gro with his spade could do the work of
the soldier, and members of Congress
telegraphed to assail the invader in
front, flank and rear by night and by
day, and let him have no rest. At one
point there were torpedoes on the road,
and a handsome young officer’s foot was
blown to pieces. Sherman formed his
prisoners into an ad vane; guard, and
made them march at the head of his
column and remove the torpedoes. Fi
nally, on the 13th day of December,
about a mouth after the departure from
Atlanta, Sherman’s troops captured Fort
McAllister, and his army was on the
seaeoast under the protection of the
guns of the Federal army, and with
abundant supplies.
The Surrender and the Stanton
Quarrel.
The surrender of Lee and the assas
sination of Lincoln came swiftly upon
each other. Sherman first learned of it
in a private dispatch oil the morning of
April 17. He kept the news quiet until
he had occasion to see Geueral Joseph
Johnston, to discuss the surrender. “As
soon as we were alone together,” says
Sherman, speaking of his visit to Gen.
Johnston, “I showed him the dis
patch announcing Mr. Lincoln’s as
sassination and watched him closely.
The perspiration came out in large
drops on his forehead, and he did not
attempt to conceal his distress. He de
nounced the act as a disgrace to the age,
and hoped I did not charge it to the
Confederate Government. I told him I
could not believe that he or Gen. Lee or
the officers of the Confederate army
could possibly be privy to acts of assas
sination, but* IVould not say as much
of Jefferson Davis,Geo. Sanders aud men
of that tribe. We talked about the ef
fect of this act on the country at large
and the armies, and he realized that it
made my situation extremely delicate.”
Sherman urged upon Johnston the pro
priety of surrender. This the Confed
erate*General admitted, saying that any
further fighting would be murder. Out
of this conversation arose a cartel signed
between Johnston and Sherman, Gen.
Breckenridge being present and consent
ing thereto. This cartel or basis of
agreement agreed to recommend the
restoration of the States to their old
rights aud privileges. Sherman con
tended that he, in doing this, had fol
lowed out the advice of Mr. Lincoln,
and certainly his information on that
subject justifies this conclusion; but
Johnson was President and the country
was maddened at the assassination of
the President. There was uo cry so
loud as that of revenge. Stanton, who,
with all his great qualities as an organ
izer and Secretary, had an imperious,
ungovernable temper, and disapproved
Sherman’s cartel and virtually disgraced
him by sending Grant to supersede him.
He issued orders to Gens. Sheridan, Scho
field and Wilson, and other commanders,
not to obey Sherman’s orders. It was
thought that Sherman had been a
traitor, and a dispatch was put in eir
dilation, under tlje apparent sanction of
the Secretary of War, to the effect that
Jefferson Davis had escaped with a mil
lion of specie from Richmond banks,
with which they hoped to make terms
with Sherman or some other commander
for an escape to Mexico. It is hard to
realize that so cruel, so unfounded an
accusation could have been sanctioned
by a Cabinet against an officer of the
distinguished fame and service of Gen
eral German. General Grant went to
North Carolina, but behaved with the
qtgjost delicacy toward General Sher
man, not even appending in the arajy
but allowing Sherman to complete his
surrender with Johnston. The millions
of specie which Jefferson Davis was
carrying South in wagons, turned out to
be a few thousand dollars that could
have been carried in a valise. Sherman
came oiti+ with bis army and boiling
with rage. “To say,” bo says, “ that I
was merely angry at the tone and sub
stance of this public proceeding of the
War Department could hardly express
the state of my feelings. I was outraged
beyond measure and was resolved to re
sent the insult, cost what it would- Re
declined Halleck’s proffers of friendship
because Up bud repeated fbe orders of
Stanton over liis own signature. He re
fused to allow Halleek to review one of
his corps. On reaching Washington he
called on President Johnson, who took
pains to disavow Stanton’s war bulletin.
General Grant endeavored to effect a re
conciliation between Sherman and
Stanton, but as the Secretary made no
friendly advances Shermau “ resolved
to resent what he considered an insult
as publicly as it was made. ”
Trouble With Hooker.
It is noted that in this campaign Gen.
Sherman took pains to never go into
I camp without intrenching. He had a
special service of men for this work, and
during the campaign hundreds, and
perhaps thousands, of miles of entrench
ments were built by both armies, and,
“a3 a rale, whichever party attacked,
that one got the worst of it." It rained
most of the time. Rain, according to
Sherman, having a favorable effect on
troops in action and in the march, bat
not in the woods. On one occasion
Hooker, who, after his failure in the
East, had been given another oppor
tunity in the West, aud commanded a
corps in tho army of Thomas, tele
graphed to General Shermau, ignoring
Thomas, that he had practically won a
victory. Sherman was annoyed at this
action of Hooker. “Geueral Thomas
had, before this occasion,” he says,
complained to him of “Gen. Hooker’s
disposition to switch off, leaving wide
gaps in his lines, so as to be independ
ent, and to make glory on his own ac
count. I therefore resolved not to
overlook this breach of discipline and
propriety.” Riding over to Hooker’s
quarters Sherman showed the dispatch
and the injustice it had done to General
Schofield also, and there were high
words between the two Generals, Scho
field and Hooker. “As we rode away
from that church,” says Sherman, “Gen
eral Hooker was by my side, and I told
him that such a thing must not occur
again. In other words, I reproved him,
more gently than the occasion demand
ed, and from that time he began to sulk.
General Hooker had come from the East,
with great fame as a fighter, and at
Chattanooga he was glorified by his battle
above the clouds, which, I fear, turned
his head. He seemed jealous of all the
army commanders, because, in years
and former rank and experience, he
thought he was our superior.”
Dissensions and Troubles.
In fact, these army dissensions were
as frequent among our officers as in the
South. When it became necessary to
appoint an officer to command the army
of Tennessee, Johu A. Logan aud Frau
cis P. Blair, corps commanders, each ex
pected the appointment. Sherman says
he did not consider Logan equal to the
command of three corps; that between
him and Blair there existed a natural
rivalry; that both were men of great
courage and talent, but were poli
ticians by nature and experience.—
“I regarded;” he says, “both Gen
erals Logan and Blair as volunteers
that looked to personal fame aud
glory as auxiliary and secondary to
their political ambition and not as pro
fessional soldiers.” Consequently Gen.
O. O. Howard was given the command.
“All these promotions happened to fall
upon West Pointers,” says Sherman,
“ and doubtless Logan aud Blair had
some reason to believe that we intended
to monopolize the higher honors of the
war for the regular officers. I remem
ber well my own thoughts and feelings
at the time and feel sure that I was not,
intentionally, partial to any class. I
wanted to succeed in taking Atlanta and
needed commanders who were purely
and technically soldiers, men who would
obey orders and execute them promptly
ou time, for I knew that we would have
to execute some most delicate man
oeuvres, requiring the utmost skill,
nicety and precision.” The appoint
ment of Howard gave offense to General
Hooker. He asked to be relieved of the
command of his corps. Gen. Thomas
“ approved and heartily recommended ”
the application, and Gen. Slocum was
assigned to his command. Hooker was
offended because he was not chosen to
succeed McPherson, but, according to
Sherman, “his chances were not even
considered. lam told,” he says, “ that
Thomas and I were jealous of him, but
this is hardly probable, for we on the
spot did not rate his fighting qualities
as high as he did, and I am, more
over, convinced that he and Gen
eral Butterfield weDt to the rear
for personal reasons.” So Hooker re
tired from the army into a condition of
chronic discontent and criticism. The
judgment passed upon him by Geueral
Sherman is a terrible one, arid indicates
the frankness with which the General of
our armies is accustomed to express his
opinions. General Palmer, of Illinois,
afterward to become a conspicous re
form politician, also made trouble be
cause of a question as to whether he
did or did not ranlp Schofield. Shermau
settled this controversy, conceding Scho
field’s claim, but at the same time
telling General Palmer that the loss of
time occasioned by his folly “was equal
to the loss of 2,4)00 men !” Palmer in
sisted upon resigning. Although Sher
man urged him strongly as a friend not
to do so, “lest his motive might be mis
constructed and because it might dam
age his future career in civil life,” he
did resign and went to Illinois. It is
painful to read, in a time when private
citizens were making every sacrifice for
the country as soldiers, that other citi
zens, who had honor, rank, comparative
safety and a certainty of great political
distinction at the end of the war, should
imperil the cause by these paltry quar
rels as to the dates of commissions and
the right to exercise command.
The Death of McPherson.
The officer whose command gave rise
to so much bitterness of feeling was the
brilliant young McPherson, whose death
came upon the country so grievously at
the outset of this campaign. Hood had
been appointed to command the army of
the South, in place of Joe Johnston, be
cause of his being a “ better fighter.”
McPherson aud Hood had been in the
same class at West Point, and when it
was learned that Hood had been given
the command of the opposing army, it
was agreed that we ought to be unusu
ally eautious and prepared at all
times for sallies and hard fighting, for
Hood, though not deemed “ much of a
scholar, or of great mental capacity, was,
undoubtedly, a brave, determined and
rash man.” It was during the progress
of a sally, suddenly made by Hoed for
the purpose of turning Sherman’s rear,
that the noble young McPherson lost
his life. It was in the morning, about
11 o’clock. McPherson had called on
Sherman to talk abont the prospects of
the day. They walked to a road, a short
distance, and sat down at the foot of a
tree to study a map. There was an oc
casional musketry firing and artillery,but
suddenly in one part of the line an oc
casional shot began to be heard. Sher
man asked McPherson what it meant.
“We took my pocket compass, ” say s Sher
man, “which I always carried with me,and
by noting the direction of the sound we
became satisfied that the firing was too
far to our left rear to be explained by
known facts, and he hastily calied for
his horse, bis staff and orderlies. .Mc-
Pherson was then in his prime, about
thirty-four years old, over six feet high,
and a very handsome man in every way,
universally liked and had many noble
qualities. He had on his boots outside
his pantaloons, gauntlets on his hands,
had on his major-general’s uniform and
wore a sword belt but uo sword. He
hastily gathered his papers, save one,
which I now possess, into a pocket
book, put it in his breast pocket and
jumped on his horse, saying he would
hurry down his line and send me back
word, what this sound meant.’ ” In a
few minutes Sherman, who in the mean
time had gone back to the house, alarm
ed by the increase of the mysterious
firing, met one of McPherson’s staff, his
horse covered with sweat, who reported
that the General was either killed or a
prisoner. McPherson had ridden ahead,
giving au order to some troops to hurry
forward, and disappeared in the woods,
doubtless with a sense of absolute se
curity. The sound of musketry was t here
heard, and McPherson’s horse came back
bleeding, wounded and riderless. An
hour afterwards the body of McPher
son was found. A bullet had entered
his body near the heart, aud McPher
son must have died in a few seconds af
ter being hit. The remains were sent
back to Marietta, and from thence to
his home in Clyde, Ohio, where they
were received with groat honor, and are
now buried in a small cemetery close by
his mother’s house, which cemetery is
composed in part of the orchard in which
he used to play when a boy.
Sherman and Stqntoa-
The difficulty between General Sher
man and Secretary Stanton was one of
the painful events of the war and to he
attributed solely, we think, to the pe
culiar temperament of the two men.
Stanton paid Sherman a visit on the
Ilth of January and ordered all the cot
ton to be sent North. By the orders of
Stanton all the marks were obliterated
from this cotton, which Sherman
“thought strangely of at the time and
even more so now.” “For 1 am as
sured,” he says, “that claims, real and
fictitious, have been proved up against
this identical cotton of three times the
qnantity actually captured, and that re
clamations have been allowed for more
than the actual quantity captured—
namely, 81.000 bales.” Stanton remain
ed with Sherman some days, “seeming
ly very curious about matters and
things in general.” He did not think
that some of Sherman’s Generals had
shown kindness to the negro., and he
complained of Qeneral Jefferson C.
Davis. Sherman defended his Gen
erals, claiming that they felt e sympa
thy for the negroes, but “of a different
sort from that of Mr. Stanton, which
was not the power of humanity but of
politics.” There was a conference be
tween Secretary Stanton and a delega
tion or npgroe§, and among the ques
tions addressed to them was this:
“State what is the feeling of the col
ored people toward General Sherman,
and how far do they regard these senti
ments and actions a3 friendly to their
interests or otherwise.” The answer
was that they had the utmost confidence
in Sherman “as a man in the providence
of God set apart specially to accomplish
this work. ’’• This was certainly a singu
lar interview, and Sherman, comment
ing upon it, says with naive and, we
think, pardonable vanity: “It certainly
was a strange fact, that the great, Secre
tary of War should have catechised ne
groes concerning the character of a Gen
eral who had commanded 100,000 men
in bittle, had captured cities, conducted
65.000 meu successfully across 4,000
miles of hostile territory aud had just
brought tens of thousands of freedmeu
to a place of security. But because he
had not loaded down his array by other
hundreds of thousands of freedmen ne
groes it was construed by others as hos
tile to the black race.” “My aim,” says
Gen. Sherman, “was io whip the rebels
and humble their pride and follow them
to their inmost recesses to make them
fear and dread ns. Stanton was not in
good health, although he appeared ro
bust aud strong; he complained a good
deal of internal pains, which threatened
his life aud which would compel him
soon to quit public oiiiee. iie said that
the price of everything had so risen, in
comparison with tiie depreciated money,
that there was danger of national bank
ruptcy, and lie appealed to me as u sol
dier and a patriot to hurry up matters
so as to briug the war to a close.”
Home Again.
On the 24tli of May, 1865, the aimies
were t-o he reviewed ; Sherman brought
his wife and her father, the venerable
Thomas Ewing, to see the sight. The
whole army of Georgia bivouacked
around the capital. The morning of the
24th of May was extremely beautiful.
Punctually at 9 o’clock, attended by
Howard and his staff, he rode slowly
down the avenue, crowds of men, women
and children flocking around him. As
he neared the brick house ou Lafayette
square he observed Seward, feeble and
bandaged, at one of the windows. “I
moved,” says Sherman, “in that direc
tion aud took oil my hat to Mr. Seward,
who sat at the window. He recognized
the salute and returned it, and then we
hurried on steadily, passed the Presi
dent, saluting with our swords. All on
his stand arose and acknowledged the
salute. Then turning into the gate of
the Presidential grounds we left onr
horses and orderlies aud went upon the
stand, where I found Mrs. Sherman,
with her father and sou. Passing them
I shook bauds with the President, Gen.
Grant aud each member of the Cabinet.
As I approached Mr. Stanton he offered
me his hand, but I declined it publicly,
aud the fact was universally noticed. I
then took my post on the left of the
President, and for six hours and a half
stood while the army passed. It was in
mv judgment the most magnificent
army in existence ; 65 000 men in splen
did physique, who had just completed a
march of nearly 2,000 miles in a hostile
country. Division after division passed,
each commander of an army corps com
ing on the stand during the passage of
his command, to be presented to the
President and Cabinet and spectators of
the steadiness and harmoniousness of
the tread, the careful dress on the guides,
the uniform intervals between the com
panies. All eyes were directly to the
front, and the tattered aud bullet riveu
flags, festooned with flowers, all attract
ed universal notice. For six hours and
a half that strong tread of the army of
the West resounded along Pennsylvania
avenue ; not a soul of that vast crowd of
spectators left his place, and, when the
rear of the column passed by, thousands
of spectators still lingered to express
their of confidence iu the strength
of the Government which could claim
such an army.”
THUOCOH SOUTH CAROLINA.
Mabistick Journeys to Columbia and
Charlotte, Lamenting the While the
Ch nge Wrought by the Whirligig
of Time—lJou. Massa Lampblack.
[Correspondence of the Courier-Journal.]
Columbia, May 10, 1875.—The ride
from Charleston to Columbia is one that
a blind man might possibly enjoy, lint
even to a one-eyed man it would be
overpoweringly monotonous. The coun
try merely changes from swamp to bar
ren sand hills covered with pine trees,
and as an agricultural country struck
me as being the poorest of the poor.
There was no attraction without and
none within the car. After having thor
oughly bored myself with an English
novel, wherein I found the inevitable
rector; the usual lord of man, acres ;
the English angel, the crisp bank notes;
the claret cup, picnic, and certain par
ties outside of the pale of gentility de
nominated “persons,” I threw the hook
aside with a yawn, and commenced
studying my neighbor, who was two
seats nearer to the end of her journey
than myself. This was a plump, pretty
woman, so restless that I first thought
she had swallowed a wasp. Her con
stant fidgeting and twisting gave me
many views of her face, and I found in
it an expression of so pecular a charac
ter that I concluded she either wanted
to “cuss” or kiss someone. At a stop
ping place another lady got in—thin and
of a “certain age.” The two women
stared at each other, turned their heads,
stared again, and then came the words,
“It is ; it isn’t; it is.” The pin nip one
flew at the other, and they kissed each
other vigorously six times, and hit the
mark every time. On arriving at. Colum
bia the rotnnd little angel was dismayed
to find that husband was not there to
meet her. I was sorry I wanted to see
what she would do with an opportunity
to develop her talent I believe she bit
that man’s ear off when she reached
him.
Columbia.
Is a pretty place, and the streets that
flow out of the main business thorough
fare are majestic avenues of trees, the
houses pretty, many of them beautiful,
and there is an air of quiet peacefulness
about this portion of the city that has a
seducing, winning way of appealing to
to the stranger to pitch his tent and lie
down to quiet dreams. But this is no
camping ground for the wanderer. The
slightest acquaintance with the place
will convince one of that fact. The
main business street, running from the
State House at one end to the new post
office at the other, is entirely new. The
buildings that formerly stood there
were burnt by Sherman and his bum
mers. The present structures are no
doubt far superior to the old ones. The
State House is an unfinished stone
building of Corinthian architecture.
The pediments a> e among the things of
the future, as well as the architrave and
friese. The walls not having been car
ried up to the intended height, have re
ceived a flat roof, and this, with the
wooden work over the columns, gives to
the building die appearance of having
fallen into disgrace. It is like a man
with a good suit of olothes, but with a
shocking bad bat jammed down over his
eyes, and is a fair type of the condition
of the State, with the nigger on top.
The o> era house is a very pretentious
building with a mansard roof, which
bulges up at one corner in the shape of
what might be a compromise between a
tower aud a dome. This building is the
opera house aud city hall—the most sin
gular conjunction I ever heard of. At
the other end of the street, on an emi
nence, stands the new post office, a flue
building of architectural pretension. It
is built of South Caroliua granite, taken
from a quarry only twenty miloa off. It
is very light in color, aud by far the
most beautiful granite, with the finest
grain, in this country. One of the
workmen told me that it was far supe
rior to any that be had ever seen. From
the centre of the main business street I
believe Davnl, or any other first class
slinger, oonid throw a stone into a
water power superior to that of Lowell.
If yon have forgotten your geography,
I will good uaturedly apprise you that
it is the Congareo river, which, playing
aud boiling and tumbling, speaks with
endless voice to the good people here
to wake up aud do something. One of
the Spragues owns one-half of this
water power, but I suppose, like other
capitalists, dares not to invest in the
black republic of South Carolina.
'i'lie ilasit Extraordinary Animal,
However, of the lot is one Nagle, who
came rnshimj at the flesh pots, all the
way from Torkviile, without money
enough to pay his fare. I think ho still
owes it to the conductor. This party
become State Comptroller, and there
ian’t mathematical talent enough in the
State sufficient to tel! how much he
gathered in. He owns houses and lots
and flqeks and herds, and a whole toll
bridge all to his own plate—the bridge
over the Cougaree—and although out of
office does not find himself raueh the
worse for it. He lias a flue house in
which he resides, and having heard per
haps of pbeasaat shooting as practiced
in Hngianci has confounded it with pea
sants, and having ideas of his own upon
game laws, amuses himself when drunk
bv shooting the passers-by with a dou
ble-barreled shot gun. It is not an ex
pensive amusement. He is only lined
five dollars a shot. Qne day he became
recklessly extravagant and fired twenty
seven abate, whioh at five dollars a shot
footed up the sum of one hundred and
thirty five dollars. Even his wife could
not stand this, and no one will blame
her for hiding the shot gun.
Then and Now.
This eitv was once the home of the
haughtiest, the wealthiest and most
aristocratic families of South Carolina.
It is now ruled by the negro. Prom the
Judge oi the Supreme Court, a black,
ignorant brute, down to the lowest
magistrate, the power is iu the hands of
ignorance and vice. Whgt they have
done with this State for the last ten
years is a matter of history, and he who
p*at<inds to expect any other result in
the future from power thus misguided
is a philanthropic fool or a political
knave. The course of justice in the
Magistrates' Courts here is painfully
ludicrous. The ebony Judge is strong
on one point—that of fines. For a sim
pie assault the fine is ten dollars. If
the party fined does not have the money
the witness must pay it; or perhaps the
best dressed man is picked out aud di
rected to ante. Justice must receive
her dues.

Rationale of Sinking Funds.
[X. V. Graphic ]
Sinking funds have of late years been
the fashionable recourse of debt-con
tracting cities and commonwealths.—
Some of them Lave been astonishingly
ingenious, and it lias been demonstrated
over and over again that by borrowing
twice the amount of money that was
wanted and putting, out half of it at
compound interest a State would not
ouly find its debt paid up at the end of
thirty years, but have a handsome bal
auee iu baud, provided always the trans
actions were shivwdly managed. The
plan proved a.u admirable decoy, and
lured hundreds of municipalities and
States into debts fr m which it was al
most impossible to extricate themselves
and iu which many are entangled to the
verge of bankruptcy. Experience has
proven that however flue the scheme
looks on paper.it seldom, if ever, works
well anywhere else. The ouly way for a
city or State to deal with a debt is to
keep blear of it. All it is good for is to
keep out of. Aud sinking funds and all
such admirable devices and expedients
for paying for dead horses are the worst
sort of traps to catch the unwary. The
best way out is never to get iu ; but if
once iu there is no safety, no peace, no
honor but- in getting out, and the shorter
theent the quicker the deliverance.

KIDNEY COMPLAINT,
Probably there is no complaint that afflicts
the human system which is ho little unfloretood
at the preent time an Home of the varied forms
of Kidney ( omi'lantH.
There ih no diseane which ciuses such acute
pain or more alarming in it results than when
the kidney fail to secrete from the blood the
iirid acid am! other poisonous Huhwiftncos winch
the blood accumulates in its circulation through
the system.
if from any cause tho kidneys fail to per
form the functions devolving upon them, the
cumulations are taken up by the absorbents
amt the whole system thrown into a state of
disease, causing gtcat pain and suffering, and
very often immediate death Hence the im
portance of keeping the kidneys and blood in
a healthy condi ion through w.uicli all the im
purities of the body must pass.
PAIN l.\ THE BACK.
There is no remedy known to medical science
which liaH proved itself more valuable in cases
of Kidney Complaints than the VLGKTiNE.
It acts directly upon the so ret ions, cleanses
and purifies the blood, at and restores the whole
system to healthy action.
The following extraordinary cure of great
sufferers, who had been given up by the bast
pin siciaiiH as hopeles cases, will speak for
thems. Ives, and should challenge tho most
profound attention f the medical facility, as
well as < f those who are suffering fcrom Kidney
Complaint.
TIIE BEST MEDICINE.
East Mahshfif.ld, August 22, 1870.
Mn Stevens: Dear Sir I am seventy-one
years of age; have suffered many years with.
Kidney Com plaint, weakness in my back and
stomach. I was induced by friends to try your
VEGET‘INJfi. and 1 think it the best medicine
for weakness of the Kidneys I ever used. I
have tried many remedies for t is complaint,
and never found so much relief hh from the
VEGEIINE. It strengthens and invigorates
the whole system. Mmy of ray acquaintances
h ive taken it, and I believe it to be gopd for
all the complaints for which it is recommended.
Yours truly, JOSIAH H. BHEBMAN.
PRONDIIKCED IM lIItAKLE.
Boston. May 31), 1871.
11. B. Stevens, Esq : Dear sir—l liavo been
badly afflicted with Kidney Complaint for ten
years; have suffer and great pain in my back,
hips ad side, with gn at difficulty in passing
urine, which was often and in very small quan
tities. frequently accompanied with blood and
excruciating pain.
I have faithfully tried most of the pot nlar
remedies recommended for my c intpl ill; I
have been under the treatment of some ot the
most skillful physicians in Boston, all of whom
pronounced mv ase incurable. This was my
condition when I was advised by a friend to try
the VEGETiNE, and X could see the good ef
fects from the first i one I took, and from that
moment I kept on improving until I uas: en
tirely cured, taking in all, 1 should think, about
six bottles.
It is indeed a valuable medicine, and if I
should he afflicted again in the same way. I would
givo a dollar a dose, it I could not get it with
out. Respectfully. J. M. GILS.
3(11 Third Street. South Roston. ,
NEARLY BLIND.
H. R. Stevens: Dear Sir—ln expressing my
thanks to you for benefits derived from tbe
use * f VEGETINE, and to benefit others, I
will state:
When eight or nine years old I was afflicted
with Scrofula, which n ado its appearance in
my eyes, face and head, and 1 was very near
blind for two years All kinds of operations
were performed on mv eyes, and ail to no good
result. F nallv the disease principally settled
in mv body, limbs and feet, and at times in an
aggi aval ed way.
Last summer I wan, from some cause, weak
in my spine and ki Ineys. and it was at times
very hard to retain the urine. Seeing your ad
veriisement in lho ’* Commercial, I bought a
bottle of VEGETINE and commenced using
according to directions. In two or three days
I obtained great relief A ter using four or
five b 'tiles I noticed it had a wonderful effect
on he rough, scaly blotches .on my body and
legs. I still used VEGETINE and the humor
ous sores one after another di-appeared until
they were all gone, and I attribute the cure of
tbe two diseases to VEGETINE, and nothing
else.
If I am ever affected with anything of the
kind again I shall try VEGETIN e. as tho only
reltab e remedy. Once mo- e accept my thanks,
and believe me to be, very respectfully,
