CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE MAYOR OF
ATLANcA AND GEN. SHERMAN.
ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. IL, 1864.
Najor General ". I. Sherman:
S1R The undersigned, Mayor and two
members of tho Council for the city of At
lanta, for the time being the only legal Or
gan Of the people Of the said city, to ex-
press their wants and wishes, ask leave
most earnestly bat respectfully to petition
you to reconsider the order requiring them
to leave Atlanta.
At first view it struck MS that the meas
ure would involve extraordinary hardship
and loss bnt since We have seen the prac-
:tical execution Of it, so far Us it has pro-
crossed, and the individual condition of
many Of the people, and heard their state
ments as to the Inconvenience loss and
suffering attending it, we are satisfied that
the amount of it will involve in tile acsre.
gate, consequences appalling and heart
rending.
Many poor women are in an advanced
state of pregnancy; others now having
young children; and whose husbands, for
the greater part, are either in the army, pris-
oners or dead. Some say 81 have such an
one sick at my house. Who will wait on
them when am gomez" Others say,
"What are we to do? We have no houses
to 60 to, and no means to build, buy or
to rent any mo parents, relatives or friends
to 60 to-" Another says,"l will try and
take this and that article of property; but
such and such things must leave behind.
though [ need them much" We reply to
them, "Gen. Sherman will carry your
property to Rough and Ready, and Gen.
Hood will take it thence on" and they
will reply to that: I" But want to leave
the railroad at such place and cannot
get conveyance there on"
| We only refer to few facts to try to il.
iustrate in part how this measure will Cd
crate in practice. As you advanced, the
people north of us fell back, and before
you arrived hero, a large portion Of the
people had retired South 50 that the ceun
try South OF this is already crowded, and
without houses enough to accommodate the

people; and we are informed that many
are STAYING in churches and ontbuildings.
This being so, how is it possible tor the
people still here, (mostly women and chill
dren) to find any shelter and how can
they live through the winterin the woods
no shelter or subsistence, in the midst OF
strangers and without the power to assist
them much if they were willing to do so.
This is but feeble picture of the conse-
ouences of this measure. You know the
woe, the horror, and the suffering cannot
he described by words. Imagination can
only conceive Of it, and we ask you to take
these things into consideration.
We know your mind and time are con-
stantly occupied with the duties Of your
command, which almost deters us from
asking your attention to this matter, but
thought it might be, that you had not COLI
sidered the subject, in all its awful conse-
uuences, and that on more reflection, you,
we hope, would not make this people an
exception to all mankind, for we know OF
no such instance ever having occurred,
surely, none such in the United States, and
what has this helpless people done, that
they should be driven from their homes to
wander as strangers, outcasts and sxiles,
and to subsist on charityG
We do not know, as yet, the number Of
people still here. Of those who are, if al
lowed to remain here, we are satisfied a
respectable number, if allowed to remain
at home, could sabsist for months without
assistance, and respectable number for
a much longer time and who might not
need assistance at any time.
In conclusion, we most earnestly and
solemnly petition you to reconsider this
order or modify it, and suffer this unfor-
tunate people to remain at home and en-
Joy what little means they have.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES NJ. CALHOUN, Mayor.
