Dalton, Ga. (Georgia, United States) (search for this): article 2
ly left destitute and totally in want. But few negroes were taken off, comparatively, and but few of these were compelled to go; some of which have been permitted to return, and so loose were they in their discipline, that many have run away and returned to their masters. The above statement accords with what I have heard in reference to other sections of the country through 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 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 — that of leniency to the people, in order to win them back to the Union? If not so, it is certainly a great relief to have an enemy who is so different to many others, who is possessed of manliness, generosity and humanity, in
Canaan, N. H. (New Hampshire, United States) (search for this): article 2
l-known characteristics of the Sons of the Pilgrims forbid the idea that, when they have succeeded in conquering the country, they should inflict any "damage" upon these whom they spared in an invading march. The Yankees have never looked from their barren rocks, with a covetous and greedy eye, upon the fat and fertile plains of the South. They have never envied the comparatively easy and comfortable life upon Southern plantations. They are Pilgrims upon the earth in pursuit of a heavenly Canaan and do not desire their attention to be distracted by the things of time and sense. Not one of Sherman's large surveying party cast a longing glance upon the fertile Georgia fields through which he passed, nor inwardly resolved that some time he could come back and "locate in them diggins."--Let us be just and generous to a chivalric foe and not embitter our minds by unworthy ideas of Yankee human nature. Let South Carolina exercise the cardinal virtues of courtesy and hospitality to t
Johnston (search for this): article 3
The organs of public sentiment throughout the South are earnest and unanimous in appealing for the restoration of General Johnston to his command. His name alone would be a tower of strength.--Without pretending to decide upon his military abilities, it is evident that he has the confidence of the people and the army, and that single fact would draw a host of men in Georgia and South Carolina to the standard of the Confederacy. The Army of the West would be inspired to new exertions, absentees would return, and, in a word, the whole moral and physical strength of the Southern States developed.

ing that we possess and of all that makes life worth having. It would be better to clothe the most competent military leader in the Confederacy with the unlimited power of Dictator than to permit the heel of a foreign tyrant to trample on our necks. And not to only is independent action necessary, but promptness. In one of Napoleon's campaigns in Italy, a splendid flank movement was attempted by the enemy, which would have been crowned with brilliant success but for the delay in its execution. The result was that the whole division that undertook the enterprise was captured. Napoleon made this brief comment on the circumstance: "These Germans do not understand the value of minutes."-- We commend the observation to the Confederate Congress. What is now wanted, above all things, is unity and decision of action. When the ship is within sound of the breakers, it is no time to hold long debates in the cabin. We want all the crew on deck and a single, powerful hand at the helm.
Napoleon (Ohio, United States) (search for this): article 4
untry at this time. There is no sacrifice that the people are not willing to make for deliverance from subjugation. That involves the involuntary sacrifice of everything that we possess and of all that makes life worth having.

Grant (search for this): article 5
The London Times favors the public with its views on the employment of African soldiers in the Confederate service. It says that in Europe there would be no hesitation on that subject at all.--It considers Grant's tactics simply this — give away two, three, ten Federal soldiers, if necessary, for one Confederate. The Federal supply is unlimited, the Confederate losses cannot be replenished, and it only requires time and patience to work out the problem. Under these circumstances, the Times thinks the Confederacy cannot dispense with the policy indicated. The New York Times has something to say on the same subject. It has heretofore ridiculed the idea of the slave being made to fight with, and for, his master. It now cannot conceal its delight that we have permitted, as it alleges, the time to pass within which this military element could be brought into the army and organized, disciplined and instructed in time for the spring campaign.
James Strick (search for this): article 6
Forty miles an hour at sea. --The Liverpool Mercury observes that Mr. James Strick, a working joiner of that town, has invented a screw propeller, and that he states, from experiments made on the Prince's Park Lake, that with this screw he can get four times the speed of the ordinary screw, with the same engine and the same pressure of steam. The screws are worked reverse by means of two wheels at the centre boxes of the screws, and can be replaced at sea at any time, and, being one-third above the water, can be unshipped without any difficulty.
Burlington (New Jersey, United States) (search for this): article 7
Lake Champlain froze over on Wednesday last, opposite Burlington. This is about two weeks earlier than the average time.
