The Eject Of Sherman's March through
GnOvCrio

Georgia
ttrOm tho Macon Telegraph
Sherman in his march through Georgia
destroyed many thiugs-dwellugs, corn
cribs, agricultural implements, gin houses,
clothing Of women and children, and in
short all that tends to make life comfort.
able was ruthlessly given to the flames.
Cattle, horses, hogs sheep and goats were
destroyed. Nothing was spared but life.
Thank God, amid the universal ruin, ono
thing was oxtirpated, root and branch,
which amply Compensatcs for all other
loss. We mean the idea Of reconstruc-
ton.
Wherever the hostile tread OF Sherr0an's
legions passed, ali hopes, and thoughts,
and desires orIcConstruclion we're tramp.
led out Of existence. The logic of the
buyonet aud the rhetoric of the iucen-
diary convinced the most conservative"
that nothing remained TO tho pe0Dl0 Of
the South but triumph or DEGRADATION.
which would make life jntolerable. BY
the light Of his burning dwelling, reflect
ing on the pale and frightened faces OF
his wife and children, the conservative
saw the true object Of the war and the
real points at issue. The flames which
consumed the labor Of a lifetime, pdrited
the political atmosphere and kindled in
lhe heart Of the sufferer the fires
OF paCi iOus".. 1'L~.o Hrns no maj, who
can see his rooCree burned, his iands-deo-
vastated, his property stolen, his wife and
children turned peuniless upon the world,
without resolving on revenge.
But greater wrong than those enumera-
ted has been perpertrated by the hounds
that follow the footsteps Of Sherman.
Women pure and spotless, have been VIC
lated, The people OF Georgia have had
the bilterest cup Of misery placed to their
lips, and oeeu made to drain il to the
dregs. They have felt
tho incapable wrong,
The unuttorUblo shame.
That turns tho cowurd's heart to steel,
The sluggari's blood to fame.
From the blackened track which marks
the route of sherman, there comes no cry
Tor reconstruo,ion and submission, but
rather a shout, like the sound of many
waters, for Independence and revenge.
And o,with full appreciation Of the ruin
which has overtaken someof our worlhiest
0nd best, and with tho warmest sympathy
for their dcsolaJion, We cannot, in view Of
the publication Of the State from all tain,
Of Reconstruction, help ejaculating, thank

Of fire, and have come forth purified

this city, recently turned at their water
saw mill in Trimbclle, Wis, about six
teen miles from this place, one thousand
rocking chair rods, two feet long, in
three hours, ten minutes to sharpen tools
included. He has also turned four thou
sand and eight spindles, sixteen inches
long, in ten hours, and kept bis tools in
order, or spindles enough to make one
thousand aud two chairs in one day.
Mr.. Kitchens frequently turns all the
stock for two hundred chairs. requiring
twenty-eight hundred different pieces, in
one day, and does not consider it over
average work.
Messrs. Herzog & Corson are getting
ont stock sufficient at their mill for ten
thousand chairs. besides eight hundred
rocking and..s;x hundred chidren's chairs,
and material for hundreds of bedstead,
tables. bureaus. etc. They are deter
mined not TO refuse to supply dealers as
they were compelled to do last season,
when they were offered cash on delivery
of goods. Mr.. Herzog tells us that they
got out stock for twenty five hundred
chairs last year, and could have sod four
times that amount had they the stock on
hand to work Hastings Cosser-
