ion of the Union by force of arms seemed to be farther off than ever. It was idle to rely upon the resources of the North, upon its stubbornness, or the strength which would accrue to it by the Emancipation Proclamation; there was good reason to doubt of its success when the results obtained came to be compared with the efforts they had cost. At the East the month of December alone had seen the Army of the Potomac exhaust its strength in vain against the redoubts of Fredericksburg, whilst Sherman, on the Mississippi, experienced a bloody check before Vicksburg; finally, at the centre, the last day of the year had been marked by the sad battle of Murfreesboroa, so desperately fought and yet so undecided. The Confederacy, as we have shown at the close of the preceding volume, seemed to gather strength in the midst of these attacks so frequently repulsed, and it was reasonable to believe that the North would be tired out before the South became exhausted. It will be seen how the

Sherman, who found himself thus forming the rear-guarand on the left, McPherson in the centre, and Sherman on the right, surrounded the place from the M City road, of which we have already spoken. Sherman, believing that the enemy had taken away the hat of the lines of countervallation, enabled Sherman to hold in check all the forces that Johnston[71 more...]

ding the extraordinary efforts of the free States, they had held their numerous soldiers in check everywhere. The year 1862 was brought to a close in the West by Sherman's disaster before Vicksburg and Grant's retreat; in the centre, by the indecisive battle of Murfreesborough; and in the East, by Burnside's disaster in front of Fod the loss of the depots of Holly Springs compelled Grant to beat a speedy retreat; whereas in the winter of 1864-65 the resources accumulated in Georgia enabled Sherman to accomplish his march to the coast, which two years previously would have been impossible. In the midst of these great difficulties the statesmen of the Soutard was no doubt endowed with as much coolness as courage, but he had not yet exhibited all those military qualities which at a later period distinguished him as Sherman's lieutenant. He had almost always been unlucky: the remembrances of the recent rout of the Eleventh corps—a rout for which he alone was wrongfully held responsi

ee, by J. Esten Cooke; Pickett and his Men, by W. Harrison; and for that of Vicksburg a narration of the siege by a resident has furnished us with some curious details. Let us quote, in short, among our authors, the most illustrious of all, General Sherman, to whom we owe, under the form of Memoirs, the most original, brilliant, and instructive pages which have ever been written on the war. General Sherman, who has never been ambitious for any political post nor solicited the votes of any poliGeneral Sherman, who has never been ambitious for any political post nor solicited the votes of any political party, has had the rare courage to say frankly in these Memoirs what he thought of the officers who served near or under him. Judgments without any reticence, thus expressed by the commander of an army, clash with many feelings of self-love, and sometimes wound legitimate susceptibilities and excite some manifestations of anger; but they halve, in the eyes of the historian, an incomparable value.
