An ENGLISH LnoK ArsnERMAN.

. A late number Of the Manchester England
Weekly Times, which we have received, thus
dlscourses in regard to SHERMAN's march
between Atlanta and Savannah =
$50 far as regards military movements, there
is so much that Is Strange, that the intelligence Is
either hardy credible, or scarcely TO be under
stood. In the hrst place, SHERMAN is said 20
Rave burned Atlanta, and to have set out for
Charleston, taking with him f0rty thousand men
and ratuns Tor forty tiye days. Charleston is
about three hundred miles from Atlanta, and il
his 10 ellirentc be correct which, however, we
strongly cuubti SHERMAN has placed himseltin an
immiucuty critical situation. The difficulties he
would have 20 encounter would be enormous.
ln the first place, the roads are bad second he Is
marching through an enemy's COuatTy; third, it
IS the wort casun OF the year, in which the natu-
rally sWRmpy country rs Transformed in,O a
morass; fourth, he has cut himself loose from
all communication with his friends; hcUb
bis enemy will have abundant time "
throw reniOrCements into Savannah or Charles
ton; and, sixth, the enormous quantity OF
supplies which Sherman would have 10 carry
with him through a difficult, sWRmpy, and
rOadless country, would sufficiently task his army
if not a single enemy appeared on the field. IL
is true he would have some days start Of HOOD
and the COniederates, still, the difficulties in his
path are so great, that we may well question his
having taken such a step until we have fuller in
formation. At Atlanta he was In the heart OF
country from whence he could move in any di-
enemy over a wide disrict but in Charleston
and Savannah his opportunities for mischief
would be incomparably fewer. Nothing but ne
cessty would have caused him TO eYacuate At
lanta, and If we estimated his position by the
recent news from the Border States, there GER
tainly appeared 10 be no necessity for movement
so singular and 90 dangerous"
Now that this stupendous march has been
successful, SHERMAN himself assuring us that
his troops are in better condition than when
they left Atlanta, it is interesting to consider
in what light he win be regarded by English
editors now. He has extrieated himself from
his "imminently critical situatiOn;" he has
vanquished the enormous" difficulties he had
70 encounter. He has been more than equal
to the several disadvantages enumerated,
yiz.:-The badness Of the roads, the fact OF
marching through On enemy's country,
the fact Of It's being the worst sea-
son Of the year, the fact Of bis
having cut himself loose from all

A SOLDIERS LIBRARY.

The Christian Commission has on hand an
enterprise by which library is to be pro-
yided for our soldiers. Three hundred thou
sand volumes of good choice books are
wanted for our fighting men. We have spread
for our soldiers many feast, and have pro-
vided for them many comfort to ameliorate
their hours Of agony. In the thronged hos
pitals many Of the auXilaries of art have been
introduced, and even music and flowers have
yielded their attractions to while away the
hours. Don't soldiers, like any other men,
need books? They are in want of mental
stimulus. They cannot do without something
to strengthen the muscles Of the mind; some
thing as recuperative as palatable, on which
its lbres can feed. The purpose Of the Chris
tan Commission can at once be realized by
every one at home purchasing book and for
warding it to their headquarters. Thence the
contributions will be despatched to the
soldiers.

The Christmas and New Years holidays
are drawing near and people are beginning to
prepare for them. There may not be so lavish
an expenditure this season in the way Of pur-
chases for gifts, but the habit of the time is
tCo firmly established in our affections, is too
much law, as it were, of our nature, to be
entirely overcome even by the present dis
tlacted condition OF our beloved country and
tie increased cost Of the necessaries as well
as the Mxuries of life. Thousands of children
in our midst will not be put off by any con-
siderations of economy and retrenchment
They must have their annual presents Of toys
and sugar-plums, and books, and the like,
though banks break and merchants fail.
Kriss Kringle is veritable, unmythical per-
sonage, TO their apprehension; and the little
girls and boys, when they retire TO bed on
Christmas Eve, go to sleep with as solemn a
faith that the Jolly old elf will, while they are
dreaming, come in his little sleigh, glide down
the chimney with his pack ou his back, and
I'll their stockings with presents, as they ever
put in anything requiring childish trust.
This pleasant, happy superstition Of our
children we cannot disspate by dsappoint-
ment, whatever may be the condition of the
country or the currency We must lay in a
supply of whistles, rattles, tops, puzzles, pic
ture-books, etcetera, and hang them up at the
bed.post, or the crib foot, if only to preserve
the integrity of that genial, blessed old Saint
Nicholas, who has delighted the imagination
of childhood ever since the Christian era
/ Therefore we say to all the merchants and
shopmen who have confectionery and
/ toys, and such like matters to sell
, get your stores in order, complete and
brush up your stock, display on your counters
and windows, and above all, advertise in THF

siderable.

NORTHANDsOUTH ALIKE SATISFIED.

The most charming feature which charac-
terizes this war is the harmony that subsists
between the people of the North aud South in
reference to army movements, They differ
upon the subject of the iustness of the war;
and upon questiors Of minor propriety; but
when ii comes to the matter of army move
ments, we witness nothing but perfect accord
The South is so complacent as to admit that
the North can do nothing amiss. Politeness
cannot exceed that.
We did imagine that SHERMAN's march into
Georgia would be far from pleasing to the
Rebels. That impression arose from the I'M
perfection of our judgment Never were we
more mistaken. We now perceive from re-
liable information, that the Rebels were de-
lighted. The Richmond Whig Of the 18th
instant, remarks that 'instead of cutting of
our communication with the Gulf States,
SHERMAN has restored to US the main line,
vastly more important than all the others for
the possession of which he fought so many bat
ties, and prosecuted so long and 80 wearya
campaign"
EBut Savannah is not the Con'ederlcy; nor
yet Georgia, nor yet anything more than
simply Savannah etc. Savannah is Savannah!
Savannah is rood deal, say Northerners-
we would like to have it. Savannah is moth
ing, say the Rebels; you are welcome, take it,
it is OF no consequence. This is generosity
quite Spanish. "What a superb ring that tsp
ssDon't mention it-i mere trile-'ti5 yOur's.n
''What fine animal you ridep "Uuworthy Of
your notice, Ambrose! take my bay horse to
the gentemans stable"
The exercise OF this fastdious polllenass IS
corroborated by letters from Secretary STAN
TON and General SHERMAN. STANTON says
that "SHERMAN's army is in splendid condi-
ton, having lived on its march on the turkeys,
chickens, sweet potatoes, and other good
things of the richest part Of Georgia" Gen
eral SHERMAN says that " the weather has
been fine, and supplies abundant. Our march
was most agreeable, and we were not at all
mOlested by guerlllas."
Our great fear is that, if this continue
sHERMAN's men win become too fat to move
His infantry may grow aldermanic in obesity
his cavalry break down their horses, and hi
flying artillery become about stationary. We
can see the long columnsof troops ponderously
progressing through the country each man rub
bing his stomach and smacking his lips after the
approved manner Of the RAVELs. It is out
or all reason for us to think of sending
Christmas dinners TO these fellows. The New
York Herald pFopOsedit, but that was before we
knew how much hospitality they had received.
1t is absurd TO think Of sending cold meats to
the land Of Cocagne. We heard that the
miserable remnants Of our army were being
hunted out Of Georgia. They turn up the
tAttiest and jOIliest dogs, after an easy pedes
iriAn tour, with just enough exercise TO giy'

TO throw reinforcsments into Savannah or
Charleston. The troops Of SHERMAN have
been living Off the Fat OF the land, and Il has
superseded the necessity Of their carrying an
enormous quantity OF supplies through "die
ncult, swampy, and roadless country" 1t
will be seen, too, whether SHERMAN's oppor-
tunites for mischief at Savannah are "incom-
parably fewer" than at Atlanta. His own
words state that he has taken Fort McAllister
and is going ahead. The next despatch will
state that he has consummated his purpose
and captured Savannah.
