Sherman and Wellington.

President Lincoln recently made one of his
brief characteristic speeches in which he said
of Gen. Sherman, "We all know where he
went in at, but can't tell where he will come
out at" Such is the fact and very plainly
told by the President. Much has been said
and written in relation to the dashing bold
ness and bravery of this plunging into an enc
my's country, far away from any base and be-
yond the reach Of help should the fortunes of
war demand help. 1t has been compared with
Napoleon's march to Moscow, and the kin
dred ill-fated enterprise of Charles the
Twelfth. .s.sia Inssg4'saa 80 la
The Providence Journal has found a closer
resemblance in the famous and triumphant ad-
vance of Wellington in the summer of 1913
from Portugal to the Pyrenees and the Bay of
Biscay. This celebrated English General
gathered large army on the Douro. and as
it crossed the boundary OF Spain; this great
commander, in his enthusiasm, rose in his stir
rups, and waving his hand, exclaimed, "Fare-
well Portugal" He cut loose entirely from
his base of supplies at Lisbon, and started for
the ports in north eastern Spain where Brit
ish fleet and British transports could come to
his aid.
Wellington was compelledto fight his way.
King Joseph, Napoleon's brother, with his
army, was before him. By brilliant strategy
this great Captain severed the connection of
French with the coast, drove them up the
rugged valley of the Douro, reached the ports
Sanlander and Bilboa, obtained his supplies,
won GROWING victory at Vittoria, and thus
delivered Spain from French rule. Wellington
in this bold and daring movement left 4 base
on one coast and found new one on another.
His army was one hundred thousand strong,
and he marched them six hundred miles in six
weeks, fighting as he went.
What farther resemblance there may be be-
tween Sherman's march and weliington's
time will edevelope. It will be seen by the
above brief history Of Wellington that Sher-
man is not the only General who has ventured
to leave his base and march across an enemy's
country. We have reason to- believe that
Sherman will safely reach the coast and there
find new base of supplies and such aid as he
may need, but "where he will come out at" is
more than the President knows, and Of coarse
we can't tell. Although not unprecedented
in the history of war as we have seen, yet the
movement is characterized by boldness
which but few generals ever possessed. -

Amalgamation.

The Argus has allowed somebody to enter
its columns under pretence of reporting GER
tain essential points in Mr.. Garrison's recent
lecture; and Of four passages quoted, three
are so nearly correctlas to raise the suspicion
that the fourth, being grossly inaccurate, is
designedly false. We quote the fourth:
"We are for amalgamation, and we are for
universal freedom and emancipation; and we
mean to have 1t, too" JEW
Now, every intelligent, candid nearer in
that large assembly knows that Mr. Garrison
said no such thing; and If the writer has the
slightest personal acquaintance with Mr.. Gar
rison, he too, knows Mr.. G. is not in favor of
amalgamstion.
1t would serve to crafty alittle curiosity,
perhaps, to know who the argus writer is.
But il the article in question furnishes the
least clew, or if it may be considered as fair
specimen Of his general character, it would be
no great venture to affirm that, outside of any
respectable medium of communication with
the public, he is absolutely beneath con-
tempt. s aF a7fgll.a fseai rae is78sa
Ii tne argus writer had but one of the fab
ulous hundred eyes.n he would not fail to see
that Mr.. Garrison and his associates have been
laboring, with zeal and sacrifice Of which be
can have no just conception, more than thirty
years, to prevent this very matter Of amalpa .
mation-whicb, meanwhile, has doubtless been
encouraged, if not largely shared, by the e ca
lumniators of Mr.. Garrison.

MASON & HAMLIN's CABINET ORGAN
Such an instrument is all that is needed In
any church of ordinary size; and even in
Trinity Church in this city, the grandest spec
linen of the Gothic architecture on the eonti-
nent, DIR. Cutler, the celebrated organist, has
introduced one of them into the chancel, as
better adapted to some parts of the service,
and to some classes of music, than the great
pipe organ, whose tones make the walls trem-
BILE. In the churches throughout the country
they answer every requirement, and have
already been widely sought for and introduce
ed. Such eminent artists and musicians as
Thalberg, Lowell Mason, Zundel, Root, and
many others, bear testimony to their merits
in the highest terms; and once hearing them
will satisfy the most skeptical that they are
just what the church has been waiting for
something to aid without drowning the sing
ing; something easily obtained, easily kept
in order, and giving power. majesty, and
melody in the. worship of God. For this
nothing is equal to the organ; and here we
have an organ, sweet, solemn, sonorous, and
grand, the Instrument you will love the Ion
ger you hear TN. Y. Observer,

arThe saco Democrat has not been received
OF our office for weeks. That kind Of papers
is becoming SO scarce that we don't like to be
deprived of the society of the remaining few;
especially of those which have been honest
enough to keep their real purposes undisguised.
We regard the Democrat as one of this kind (;
intensely metallic but frank and outspoken.

EThe Advertiser, in its spite against the

such reports as are published in its columns.
''The fact is, saysthat paper, s'the dispatches
of our paper are all that is of interest to the

New Orders in Relation to Substitutes and

In view of the fact that assertions from the

General has issued an order to Provost Mar
shals and mastering officers, directing that on

nized or permitted, except upon compliance
with the following requirements w =

vost Marshals, setting forth the names and de-

Many men have been enlisted for the SER
vice to whom large bounties have been paid,
but who never intended to earn the money
they received, but to avail themselves of the
first opportunity to desert, and there can be
no doubt that in many instances substitute
brokers have been parties to the fraud. We
think the order necessary and timely.
