ulation 80 large, that it would take regular
army of two hundred thousand men to govern
and hold us in subjection. The support of
such an army would not only continue the
country In bankruptcy, but in the hands of the
Executive it would soon be used to subvert
even the form of the government, and change
it from q republic to monarchy Thus to
destroy our liberties must cost the northern
people their own; and the republicanism of
America must in future be reproach and q
by-word among all nations.
If President Lincoln and President Davis
will agree to stop the war and transfer the set.
the ballot box, leaving each sovereign State to
determine for herself what shall be her future
connection, and! who her future allies, the
present devastation, bloodshed and carnage
will cease, and peace and prosperity will be re-
stored to the whole country.
On the other hand, if this is not done, the
war will last for years to come, till both sides
are exhausted and overwhelmed with debt and
taxation, when it may degenerate into que
rilla strife, the end of which may not be seen
by the present generation, and the hate engen-
dered by which will last through future gen.
eratiOns.
Neither General Sherman nor can control
this, however much we may deplore it.

WAsHrSeToN, Tuesday, October H.
Gen. Sherman's official report of the
Atlanta campaign is published in the Off
cial army and Macy Gazette of thisweek.
1t is dated Sept. Is, and fills twenty COL
umns OF that paper. He estimates the
enemyis strength to have been between
forty-five thousand and fifty thousand in
fantry and artillery and ten thousand cav
airy. Gen. Sherman says that he main
tanned about the same strength during the
campaign the number of men Joining
from furlough and hospitals about compen-
sating for loss in battle and sickness.
The report is composed in Gen. Sher-
mans terse and trenchant style, and forms
most interesting history of perhaps the
most brilliant and complete campaign of
the war. He terminates his recital with
the following deserved tribute to his sub
ordinate commands:
