Whilst Sherman advances northward, the sea closes behind him, and lifts up its unfettered hands on high. He leaves not even a trace of his conquering keel over the vast expanse he has crossed. The subjugation of such a territory as that of the Confederacy is simply an impossibility, if the people are true to themselves.

All the farm-houses from Savannah to Columbia from which the inhabitants had fled were burned. This seems to have been peculiarly joyous to the correspondent, who, in a gush of delight, says: Think of this black swath extending from Barnwell to the coast, and figure upon the value of Southeastern South Carolina at the present day. Even the negroes were weary — afraid, in some instances, to trust themselves among the men who made this fearful work on the country. White table-cloths were suspended from window
the conquest of the South. It believes that, although the South is now virtually shut out from the world, it will continue to show unabated obstinacy in defence. The Daily News contents itself by editorially detailing the operations of General Sherman in a strain of enology.

The Convent (the Mother Superior of which is said to have been instrumental in the education of the niece and daughter of General Sherman) was broken open and the innocent Sisters of Mercy and other inmates stripped of their all. The very altars were desecrated, and the Lady Superior, while appealing, with cross in hand, to the humanity of the soldiers, was rudely thrust aside
