On the 8th of September, Sherman had entered Atlanta in person, and on the 10th, he was instructed: As soon as your men are suffetired, and Early had followed him; so that on the Potomac also, the prospect was gloomy. Even Sherman's success, gratifying as it was, seemed isolated; the country had no idea that it had been facirsonal one, as close and as unselfish on both sides, as that already existing between Grant and Sherman.
