sherman's Nov What the Rebel
Press North and south Say About It.
General Sherman, undoubtedly one of the
ablest commanders Of modern times, Is sweep
ing through the heart of the enemy's territory
at the head of large, we'll equipped and vete
ran army-and TO all persons disposed to look
at events with their eyes open, 1t is evident
that his operations must have immense military
results-and that it may conduce to the termi-
nation of this war. General Sherman comes
toward the Atlantic coast to clear up and fin
ish some old scoresi Charleston, Savannah
and Wilmington remain to be taken, though the
Navy Departments has for three years declared
it's readiness to take them all when the War
Department should furnish q cooperative
army. General Sherman having fought bis way
through across the continent, now approaches
the coast with that army. His movement
against any or all Of these points will be the
joint movement Of sixty thousand infantry and
fifty or sixty ships-and II will be timed in
accordance with other movements by
Generals Grant and Sheridan. This shows
how ridiculous 1t il to talk of the pos
sibility of successful resistance at any
of those points, and will give an idea Of
the wonderfully formidable character Of the
operation. By contrast with the idea thus
given, it is worth while to notice what the
enemy has to say ON this sutherland to
observe the peculiar way in which he shuts bis
eyes to this greatest event in his history-like
the salmon who forces his head under the bank
to avoid the blow aimed at his body, and be-
lieves that bis pursacr does not see him be-
cause be does not see bis pursuer.
