Just Think OF 1t.

We would respectfully call the attention
of our Black Republican friends to the fol-
lowing extract from Gen. Sherman's order
providing for the repatriation OF the people
of Atlanta:
"All citizens are required to leave At
lanta and proceed either south or north
The government will furnish transporta-
ton south as far as Rough and Ready, and
north as far as Chattanooga All citizenS
may take their movable property with
them Transportation will be furnished
for all mOveables. NEGROES WHO
WISH TO DO SO MAY GO With
THEIR MASTERS. Other male negroes
will be put in the government employ
Negro tCOmen and children GciH be sent out
Of the lines"
After dIgesting tbis order. will the sfOre-
said Republican friends tell us what Gen.
SheI man THINKS of Abraham Lincoln's
Emancipation Proclamation. Will they
be good enough to tell US if that PrOclama-
ton enfrancbised the negroes by what
right Gen. Sherman remands them back to
slavery again, and finally will they tell Us
how many days OF grace do they propose
to give Sherman before they chop of his
head for such heterodOxy as we have quot
ed We Will not remind them OF Gen
Shermau's brilliant and effective military
career. tor such suggestions have no
weight with them.

WhaIIt Costs.

In this deplOrable war the expenditure
Of the nations treasure is sad enough, but
it sinks into utter insigDi6cancs 10 com
psrisOn With the terrible destruction of
men. Over two hundred Thousand men
have been destroyed during the summer in
Virgins alone. Gen Sherman's loss dur
ing his late campaign 10 Georgia, is esti-
mated at 81 800 aud the rebel loss at AZ,
100. % the Red River, and elsewhere at
least 25.OOO more have persisted, giving q
grand total OF more than three hundred
thousand Of the men of America destroyed
by each other within the past lew months.
These terrible figures sadden the thoughts
of the late brilliant victories OF the armies
Of the Union, and we cOnjure our country
men to ponder upon them. and say if they
VIII still have long war for the "aban-
Comment Of slaSery" or whether it shall be
brief and solely for the restoration Of the
Union.
