cere in his tender treatment of the people of Georgia, and only seeking thereby to establish a Union feeling in that country. The correspondent must have seen by Lincoln's ultimatum that no such motive could have entered the hero's mind. He was only following the natural instincts of a magnanimous soul.

iple of "You let me alone and I will let you alone." We prefer to believe, in the language of the correspondent, that he is "possessed of manliness, generosity and humanity,"all of which were illustrated in his so-called "extermination proclamations." Those proclamations, rightly interpreted, prove that he is the most humane and merciful of Federal generals. He only proposed to put the Southern people at once out of their misery, and translate them to better world. We regret that the Carolinian's correspondent should qualify his praises of Sherman by the intimation that he may have been insincere in his tender treatment of the people of Georgia, and only seeking thereby to establish a Union feeling in that country. The correspondent must have seen by Lincoln's ultimatum that no such motive could have entered the hero's mind. He was only following the natural instincts of a magnanimous soul.

fact of the great exaggeration in reference to the destruction of property by the enemy. In fact, with the exception of a few burnt houses and bad roads, there are no other visible signs of a hostile army ever having passed through the country. Mills, factories and gin-houses were spared, and but few dwellings burnt. It is true that some of all of them were destroyed, but then the inhabitants allege that it was done by straggling parties; nor did I meet one person who thought that any commanve could have entered the hero's mind. He was only following the natural instincts of a magnanimous soul. We congratulate the people of South Carolina that they are assured in advance of similar leniency on his march through that Commonwealth. "Mills, factories and ginhouses" will be spared in South Carolina, as well as Georgia, and no dwelling-houses burnt "except by stragglers.

The progress of Sherman through Georgia is said, by a correspondent of a South Carolina paper, to have bral Sherman or any other high official say "that in Georgia he could restrain his men, but in South Carolina heg officers will show the same leniency as he did in Georgia. And if he fails to create a Union feeling in the is his object to do, and in which he has failed in Georgia--still I do not believe the people of South Carolinmage to them by the enemy than what the citizens of Georgia have already suffered."

h the decorum of a civilized people, she will find General Sherman a cruelly-mis-represented man. She need not, in that event, "apprehend any more damage by the enemy than the citizens of Georgia have already suffered." That is, on the march; nor is it at all likely, for various reasons, that any injury need be anticipated hereafter. They must have seen by this time, from the legislation of the Yankee Congress, and the reply of Lincoln to our Commissioners, that there is nothing the United States so much desire as Peace. The terms announced in that reply were so exceedingly liberal that the world will stand aghast at the audacious obstinacy of the South in not accepting them at once. When you ask a gentle- man for both his money and his life, it can never enter your head that he will meet you with a flat refusal, and thus justify you in taking both upon the spot.

Atlanta (Georgia, United States) (search for this): article 2
ng traveled over a part of the section of the country through which General Sherman passed from Atlanta to Savannah, I thought I would give you a brief account of the effect produced upon it, and alsough which Sherman passed. Indeed, I have heard persons who were living in the neighborhood of Atlanta, and even between Dalton and Atlanta, state they were much surprised at the small extent of injAtlanta, state they were much surprised at the small extent of injury they had sustained at the hands of the enemy. In connection with this statement, and what we daily hear from Savannah, is it not reasonable to suppose that Sherman has inaugurated a new policy —proclamations at various points of the Southwest, his wholesale banishment of the population of Atlanta, and the brilliant illuminations he got up in that city, show that he is one of the most frank motives, to be courteous and humane.--Uncharitable persons may suggest that Sherman's march to Atlanta was a retreat instead of an advance, and that he acted upon the principle of "You let me alone
