General SHERMAN is a very fruitful themN
FOR conjecture and speculation. These facts,
however, may easily be argued from his anti
cipated capture of Savannah. He will thereby
obtain permanent base from which to ope-
rate through Georgia and South Carolina,
and will succeed in his great plan Of dividing
the Southern Confederacy, as he win control
the line of the Savannah river. His move
ment will render the retreat Of General HooD
impractlcable. HoOD must either cooperate
with LEE by means Of Eastern Tennessee or
Southwest Virginia, or else drag on a pre-
carious existence until his already waning
forces are exhausted.
The Southerners will find it impossible to
repair the railroads which SuERNAN has 50
dlsastrously destroyed. Even the attempt to
repair them would be rendered extremely
hazardous, through the operations of SuEB-
MANS cavalry. Meanwhile the towns which
he has plundered, and whose supplies he has
made his own, have weakened the enemy
by just so much as they have strengthened our
army. Not until the future proves otherwise,
can we be brought to believe tina. the hitherto
brilliant exploits Of SHERMAN will be crowned
with poor success. The Southern journals
themselves are the best witnesses Of the vigor
and brilliancy with which his progress has
been conducted.

Within the ten years prior to 1860 occurred
the deaths of two slaves in Alabama at the
age ofone hundred and thirtyyears each, and of
one in Georgia Of the age Of one hundred and
thirtySeven years. They beheld the first years
ofSlavery in this country. They were witnesses
to its early progress. They saw it in all the
vigOr and prime OF its prosperity. They eX-
perienced many Of its sufferings and miseries
and all the ameliorations which are said to be
attached to it. They were acquainted with it
in all its manifestations. And they, too, saw
it in its decay. II reason and the spirit of
prophesy, could have animated their worn-out
minds it is worth while rejecting with what
emotions they would regard the possibilities and
the certaintes which shall mark the fortunes
of slavery. 1t is a question which has been
submitted to the test Of years, and which
embraces in its bosom causes that stretch far
into the past, are results that greatly affect the
future. These old slaves who are gradually
dying off, and monuments of wrong and OPP

to the results of slavery which supersedes the

One of these old slaves we once met, and
the remembrance of him is suggestive Of the
very great change which has since resulted in
slavery and its prospects. As late as 1856,

TIE RICHmOND PHYSICIANS AND

The physicians Of Richmond have been con
victed Of a fondness for gold. Not content
with bleeding their patients, they have got TO
work at bleeding the Confederate purse. They
are willing to make sacrifices. They are
willing to be paid in gold. They are agreeable
on that condition to receiving for their profess
sional services one-haf Of the rates prior to the
war. They make this sacrifice because they
are exempt from military service, for the ac-
commodation Of the public. The Richmond
Whig thus feelingly alludes to the fact:-

services onchalf of the rates prior tU the war,

exempt from military service for the acc0mmo-
dation OF tho public IL is not very certain,
however, that the physicians have mado any
tsacridCe' in the change Of their terms. Learned
tnanciCrs have asserted and undertaken 60 de
monstrate that the intrinsic value OF gold In the
Confederate States has doubled since the COM
menccment Of the war, or, In other words, that a
