SATURDAY, NOVEMBER &c, 1874
THE NEWS.
The military situation is full Of absorbing
Interest, md Sherman is It's center. The dis
patches begin to teen with reports and ru-
1nors, that, trembling with easerncss and
panic, arr pressed on rebel chnpnels of com.
anunication, and reach lis through their Jour
mails at Richmond and Savannah. It's certain
That Sherman is well at his work, and MI
Georgia is frantic with alarm. Her people
will not be greatly consolcd BY orders hoarsc-
~ bawled from Richmond to burn everything,
destroy everything, and ay. Georgia was but
lily pleased before at the military manage
7ncnt that stripped her soil Of all defcnscs md
1hc master]y strategy now suggested to ner
people, ofnlakiug their State desert to starve
t,ut Sherman, will not add to the popularity
of the rebellion among the ercconstructionists.
1'ot though Bcaurcgurd sends to tell them
That he is coming to their aid. More than the
visible effects along his war path will grow
out Of this march Of Shcrnan's presently, and
1t will add to the annals Of this campaign the
most important page, the elimination Of
marching and fighting. These had built M
the standpoint from which Sherman has
swung boldly of to reach the very heart Of
The confederacy. He is there We shall pre-

United States transport steamers Atlanta and
Blackstone Ind arrived from Savannah,
bringing Savannah and Hilton Head datesto
The 21st inst. These steamers bring 125 Of
our soldiers who have been prisoners Of war

gia to laF waste aad destroy everything
around Shcrman-in his front, rear, and upon
ills tlank-and announcing that he should
soon be with them. When The steamers left
Savannah, report had just reached there that
Macon and Millcdgeville had been captured
and burned by Sherman.
It is dreadful to note that the absurd MIR
ger is stln distracting the rebel Congress.
Didn't they tcar the nation in twain to get O
quiet corner to themselves. What have they
not been willing to pay for silence on this
question, and now the very air Of Richmond
is vocal with babel Of agitation On the sub
ject Of slavery. Why will it not die oute
The case Of the female co-laborers with the
rebellion is likely to become very painful to
them unless they cease from taking under
1he shelter Of their sex duties that the war
makes deadly to male evil Goers. Loyal men
everywhere have right to protest against

that If they would employ agents that can
work their worst purposes unharmed, they
must sail under the broad pennant Of petit

Our Chattanooga letter gives us an inter-
1eresting summary Of news in that quarter,
both military and general. Among its state
mcnts is a most touching reference to the
condition of hundreds of refugees from North
ern Georgia, who have arrived at that place,
and who hare been furnished, by the kindness
of the military authorities, with transporta-
1,on to Nashville. Subsistence has been fur
nishcd them from the Government stores.
These refugees were compelled to leave their
homes to escape the pcrils Of guerillasswarfarc
and threatened starvation. The country has
been literally stripped of food, and q very
large portion Of them are entirely destitute.
Fnghtful indeed is the penalty the South is
paying 10 nvcngc the wrongs Of the colored
race, aud to record fresh proof in history
That the Almighty Will avenge the oppres-
6ed.
