The order of Gen. Sherman bauishing
the inhabitants of Atlanta from their
homes and their city. is without example
for barbarity in the annals of civilized
wsrfare. What possible harm to the
public service, could few old men, wo-
men ard children do? suppose they were
sympathizers with the rebels, they were
non-comb batants and harmless for serious
mischief to our army, if disposed The
order was shameful stretch Of military
authority and scandalous disgrace to the
age, the nation and the individual who
conceived it. The military officer who
makes war on women and children, can
never become great military hero. He
will sooner or later meet his reward
lIowa Statesman.
Here is a specimen of the way the Cop
perhead press of Iowa rnite with thei
Southern brethren to abuse our successful
Generals. Although Gen. Hood and th'
rebel press of the South did their best il
denouneing this military order Of Gen
Sherman's, none of them surpass the mt
lightly of this paragraph Of the leadin.

ssa- The Missouri Republican is in
great distress over tho declaration of Gen
Fremont in favor of Mr.. Lincoln. 1t sees
great many bad points, in Gen. Fremont
not before visible, and it is very urgent
that Fremont's followers should not fol
low him into the Union ranks and the
support of Lincoln and johnson. 1t says
that Gen. Fremont is entirely mistaken
in his statement that the Democracy ar.
in favor of reconstructirg the Union with
slavery.

TBoomfeld Guard.
Dan used to be Volunteer Agent of he
Underground Railroad at Fort Madison,
and it was frequent boast of his that he
hsd assisted more "Fugitives'' oa their
way than all Denmark combined.
He lectured US through The papers for
Our conservatism, and boasted that be
had voted for an amendment of the Con-
stitution allowing negroes to vote; and
in the same article he based his opposi-
ton 10 the reelection of Judge Stockton,
on the ground that that gentleman had
sustained the Compromise Of 1850 and
the Fugitive Slave Law.
These and such like facts are SO uoto-
rious hereabouts, that even Dan has not
the brass-copperish as he has become
to deny them.
