The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalst, in re-
monstrating against the policy of burning the
cities Of the South as the Federal army advances,
says;
"a captured city, for instance, may serve only
a temporary convenience to an enemy, for the
occupation of troops If it be a strategic point,
he would hold 1t through its buildngs were
heap Of smOuldsring ruins. His tents would be
pitched among the rubbish or on the outskirts.
No General would leave il because his troops
did not have houses to live in. Nor would he
keep his army in the best built city. on account
of it's fine houses, if the plans of the campaign
required them elsewhere, or il the position could
not be held against superior force moving to
re possess il.
la referring TO rumor that Savannah would
be thus destroyed in case the enemy make good
their attack, the writer says:
eve protest against il as unwise, as iruitless
of any good result as not calculated TO be Of any
serious disadvantage to the enemy, while it
would infict q siupendous, permanent injury
upon the people of the city and Of The State. 1t
would involve q destruction of buildings that
otherwise might stand hundreds Of years TO
beautify that fair city, and subserye the uses Of
her people for ages after the present atrocous
set oil Yankee vandals have been driven back TO
their Northern homes To destroy the city
under the presumption that it could never be won
back would be to act as an unmanly fear, and TO
imply doubt of southern prowcss aud courage

MODERN CHOIR SIEdING.-.A correspondent Of
religious paper, who urges the necessity of
reform in church music, says that our amateur
choir singers are too fond Of IS executing diff
cult pieces, and coniounding common people
with reyebernling resonances. The Rector OF
st. Bardolph's takes off this style most laugha-
bly,, in describing the singing OF the following
stanzas:--
"True love is like that precious oil,
Which, poured on Aaron's head,

In the prodgous effort Of this performance,
tile ear.spliting combination of the several voices
hardly bore resemblance to that oily current
poured on Aaron's head, and which

One year ago, We held not foot Of Texas.
Now, Galveston, Sabine Pass, and other ports,

One year ago, Rebel expedition from
Texas bad OVerrun the greater part of New

whole vast Territory to Jefdom. Arizona was
already in the possession of the Rebels. Since

Our blockade Of the Rebel coast is far more
