tance. For miles the country around,
it has been made such waste as to pre-
clude the possibility of the rebel army
again occupying II. Had We remained
there all winter, Hood and the rebel
cavalry would hang around us, harass
our communications, but fly before our
army. This they have been doing late
ly; this they would continue to do.
Sherman's active mind scorns such pet
ty warfare. He has struck out bold
course that will astonish the world that
will make Beauregard and Hood gnash
their teeth in despair, and give up their
raiding campaign in disgust.
In the mean time have patience; give
events time to develop themselves, For
weeks it was whispered around Atlanta
that the Gate City-alas, the Gate City

roads commenced transporting Gov
ernment stock to the North, and Gov
ernment works were stopped. What
was but q rumor at first soon became a

huddled together with their sole earth,

lionares a few years since, had to fly
without a dollar in their pockets.
Atlanta is no more. The Babylon
of the South has fallen, the voice and
hum of busy industry has ceased. Its
splendid houses and broad streets arc
deserted. The houses are in ruins, the
streets will soon be overgrown with
grass, and sportive children will play
through them and furtively peep through
the piles of brick and the ruins of facto
ries, foundries, and railroad depots, peo

Cheers Cheers, for our heroesi
Not those who wear stars
Not those who wear eagles,
And leaflets, and bars;
We know they are gallant,
And honor them, too;
For bravely maintaining
The Red, White and Bluei
But, cheers for cur soldiers.
Rough, wrinkled and brown:
The men who NAKE heroes
And ask no renOWn
Bnselfsh, untiriug,
Intrepid and true,

The Red, White and Blue
Our patriot soldiersl
When treason arose,
And Freedoms own children
Assailed her as foes;
When Anarchy threatened
And Order withdrew,
They rallied 10 rescue
The Red, White snd Blue
Upholding our banner,
On many a field,
The doom Of the traitor
They valiantly sealed
And worn with the conflict,
Found vigor anew,
Where Victory greeted
The Red, White and Blue.
Yet, loved ones have fallen
And still, where they sleep,
4 sOrrOwing Nation
Shall silently weep;
And springs fairest flowers,
In gratitude, strew,
Ger those who have cherished
The Red, White and Bluel
But, glory immortal
Is waiting them now
And chaplets aniading
Shall bind every brow,
When called by the trumpet
AT Times great review,
They stand, who defended
The Red, White and Blue
