Government" There is a grandeur OF Sim
plioity III the preamble to this uiase which
approaches sublimiiy. "lhe Pyrcnaes exist
no longer" "the House Of Bragarza hss
ceased to reign" are nothing to "tLe city Of
Atlanta being exclusively for military pur-
posee." Since when, oh wondrous Sherman
Since when did God Almighty ordaiu thas

"At the proper time" continues Sherman,
! '.iust arrangements will be mrdn for the sup
/ ply to the troops of all articles they may need,
over and sboye clothing, provisions, etc, fur
nishcd by the government; end on no prctence
whatever will traders, manufacturers and rut-

solemuly declared him to be "an el6.uy Ct

most awful within their power Of ma'isop.--
! Does it not look very much as though G$nsrGi
Sherman werd anxious to declare VINE against
his decree is not only aotunl, but prospective.
The principle of cItermiuati0n is 10 s.prl5 to
oil Other cities he may capture. The South
ernsrs are literally to be driven from The face
of the Garth. As Sherman will be probably
! the idol of tho North during tho coming win
! tor, We may expect, should the remaining
ssrongholds Of tho Confcdcracy fa!l before the
| Union arms, to hear that the citics of Mobile,
Charleston, Petersburg, and Richmond 'be-
! ing exclusively for military purposes" mus.
he vacated by all, except the armies of the
/ United States.
With q cruel ocndesre 1RiGn, tho General
| has suffered tho e1pelied inhabitants to take
with them such "moveabe property" ns !!:ay
POSSESS; a other words, they may Just
contrive to get away from tho city with 4
chnngs Of clothes and o few dollars, leaving
! behind their furniture, their household goods
; their live stock, and the houses Of which they
were lawfully the possessnrs. There iB nU al;-
peal from Shermen Lie is absolutely and
entirely master Of the lives and fortunes Of The
! dofsncoless and unarmed. IIis Government
| has seemingly no inclination if it had,
would scarcely dnre-to interfere with him.
