WHY do not the pre>eminently ioyal
neonle whose sensitive souls are shocked
at the bare mention of peace or compro
mise, open their batteries upon General
SHERMAN? Various rumors have been
afloat for some time past to the effect that
SHERMAN was negotiating peace with the
Governor OF Georgia. Certainly those who
have been go vehement in their denuncia'
tons of "peace men" and who have start
ed I'D aghast at the bare mention OF an
armistice, have some Billingsgate LETT tor
the commander of the army in Alsbsma.
He paws no respect to the " to whom it may
concern" letter, says he don't want their
negroes" and actually places himself in the
position occupied by McCLELIAN and those
dastardly Democrats who persist in endea
voripp to restore the Union. Here are
some passages from letter by Gen. SsER-
MAN to the mayor and citizens of Atlanta
81 know I had no hand in making this
war, and know | will make more sacrl
fees to day than any OF you to secure
peace. But you cannot have peace ana
division of our country. once
admit the Union, once more acknowledge
the authority of the national Government
and, instead of devOting your houses, ana
streets, and roads to the dread uses OF war,
|, and this army, become at once your pro
tectors and supporters, shielding you from
danger, let it come from what quarter 1t
may. we ooh "a"'
your negroes, or your horses, or your
houses, or your lands, or anything you
have: but we do want, aud will have,
Just obedience to the laws OF the United
States ~
1t will be observed that General SHEER
MAN expresses the exact sentiments, and
uses almost the exact language of McCLEL>
lAYs letter of acceptance. MCCLELLAN
says: l.o
"Ths re-establishment of the Union in
all its integrity, is, and must continue to
be the indispensable condition in any settle
ment," and We are at a loss to see wherein
that declaration differs from General SHER-
MANS sentiments as quoted above. Ger
tainly the abolitionsts will not psrmit
this glaring proof of "disloyalty" in Major
General in the army to pass by unrebuked.
In addition to the rank heresy of exhorting
the rebels to peace and Union, he says "we
don't want your negroes" Surely the hair
of every loyal Lacquer must stand on end in
contemplation Of the fat treason such q
declaration portrays. Negroes is very
impoite term, and, SHERMAN should know,
has long since been banished from the 70.
cabulary OF "loyalty"-"American citizens
of African descent is now the only loyal
style of designating that superior class OF
human beings while, to speak of "yonr ne
groes" as though one man can have prop
erty in the blood of his brother, is almost
too horrible to think Of
By all means let the big and little dogs
Of the Republican party, "mongrel, puppy
whelp, and hound, and ours of low degree, y
open at once upon General SHERMAN and,
by their full mouthed baying, drive from
the field man who dares TO talk of peace
and Union and who don't want negroes.
