\ The terms and spirit Of Sherman's order
Of march, will excite various COMMENT
Probably the Richmond press will quote
some paragraphs or sentences, suppressing

Probably the London press will do the
same thing. But to those who read the
whole order, IL will seem angular exam.
pie of moderation in enforcing the severa-
ties Of war, in circumstances which might
excuse the most pitiless exacttQns. Gen'l
Sherman directs his army to forage hber.
ally ON the country during the march, put
that il the ordinary method Of supplying
troops during their progress through hos
tile district. It ought to be, and IL this
case it il, restricted 90 far - to be kept
within the limits Of ordinary seizure by
regular military authority this, not
more for the protection Of the citizens from
indiscriminate pillaging than for the sake
Of the discipline Of the army. Gen. sher-
man displays an unwOnted s0Iicitud0 Tor
those who deserve as Rebels no tenderness
at his hands by requiring even his regular
foraging parties 70 leave, where II is prac-
ttcable, subsistence enough for the families
from whom they take their supplies of
grain. Soldiers are forbidden, also, even
TO enter the dwellings of the inhabitants,
and foraging parties are enjoined 70 refrain
from abusive or threatening language.
But Gen. Sherman, mercifnl Is be is
where mercy is possible, means that his
march shall be unmolested by the internal
outrages Of guerrilla warfare, and to that
end he establishes the only rule that Is
practicable in cases Of irregular hOstilities.
He proceeds upon the just theory that the
country is responsible for the guerrillas-
the latter being q predatory force, without
organization and without means ofsubsist-
ence except such as are furnished by those
who sympathize with them, and who must,
from the nature Of the case live near the
scene of their operations. It IL ordered,
therefore. that property is not to be de:
stroyed where the army marches without
opposition, 'sbut should guerrillas or BUSH
whackers modest our march, or should the
Inhabitants burn bridges, obstruct roads.
or otherwise manifest local hostility, then
army corps commanders should order and
enforce devastation more or less relentless,
according TO me measure Of such hostility"
Such an order ~ that is simply recogEi-
ton Of the necessity of the case, and JUS
tilted, il it needed any justification, by the
example Of military commanders in the
long history Of European warfare; by
Soult in Spain and by Napoleon in Russia,
to take two late instances. And even in
the course of this mostleniently conducted
conflict there are examples enough which
have passed into precedents; and II needs
only to mention Missouri, Kentucky, and
the Shenandoah Valley, to prove that the
Union party considers itself able to toler.
ate or to uphold the principle Of guerrilla
warfare.

Mr. j. ". Dol5eqr-Sir: We are de-
lighted and surprised at the ease with
which you have, in few hours, enabled
US to master the principles of PhOnog-
rsphy.
The system is brief, simple aud admit
rably adapted TO the wants of society.
It can never be opposed, except by those
who are ignorant of its principles. Your
peculiar method of teaching it, renders
its attainment not q task, but an attrac-
tive pleasure. The text book you nse
(Pitman's ManuaD lie admirably arranged
for the pupil. By the invention of this
wonderful art Pitman has placed his
name high on the roll of human bene-
factors, and we think it should be taught
to every child in the land.
To occupy the idle hours of camp life
it might be taught to every company in
the army, without in the least interfering
with the duties of the soldier, prevent q
worse use of those idle hours, and, we
believe its attainment would be valued
as highly as the pay received from the
Government.
