Capture of 400 Girls by Shcrnnn''
Army-Am EquivOcaE Subject.

[Georgia Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial
The same day on which the 23d Corps eff
fected crossing of the Chattahoochee lthe
Sth), Col. Garrard's cavalry also crossed at
Roosevelt but about an hour later than this
| Corps. Having marched rapidly, the day
| before, upon the large cotton factory atthat
point he took it altogether by surprise, de-
stroying q vast quantity of army canvas,
which was extensively manufactured there,
and taking captive four hundred factory
girls. The latter capture was certainly. a
novel one in the history of wars, and eXcit-
ed not a little discussion as. to the dispose
ton which was proper to be made OF the
fair captives. Giving ''aid and comfort to
the enemvn they most assuredly were, and
much valuable tent-cloth; but in the case
of many of them, 1t was an involuntary
service, since they had been confined and
compelled to labor there without cessation
from the breaking out Of the rebellion
Then, too, the cartel makes no provisions
touching the exchange of prisoners OF this
sort; neither would it 90 to send them
across the lines to their former employers,
since they would Immediately be set to the
manufacture of tents again; nor was 1t at
all safe to, discharge them Internationally
in the midst of two great armies, many OF
them far removed from their friends and
helpless. Thus red tape was about to be-
come involved in hopeless entangle-
ment with crinoline, tent-cloth and car
tells, when General Sherman interposed
and solved the knOtty question by load
ing them into one hundred and ten
wagons, and sending them to Marietta, to
be sent north of the Ohio, and set at liberty.
Only think of it! Four hundred weeping
and terrified Ellens, Susans and Maggies
transported, in the springless and seatless
army wagons, away from their lovers and
brothers of the sunny South, and all for the
offense of weaving tent-cloth and spinning

We are about revising and pruning our
exchange list. Manymore papers come to
us than we need, and yet we dislike to cut
off any; but the extraordinary price which
everything now brings, makes it necessary
for us to economise wherever we can. It's
with regret that we part company from
some of our Brethren of the Press; but "the
state of the country''seems to require it.
If we inadvertently strike from our list any
exchanges that are entitled to The STATES
,MANlfor printing our Prospectus, they will
please notify us of the mistake, and we will
.cheerfillly correct it.

Peace!

The news we publish this morning in re-
lation to the meeting Of HORACE GREELEY
and JOHN Hay, representing President LIN
coin, and Messrs. CLAY, THOMPSON, and
others, claiming to represent the Confeder-
ate States. with reference to propositions
looking to the termination of the present
war, will excite the widest and most intense
interest throughout the country. 1t ap-
pears certain that GREELEY and HAY were
authorized to act for President LINCOLN,
and there is good reason to believe that the
otter parties, if not directly authorized to
act for JEFF. DAVIS, are sincerely impressed
with the conviction that their action will
be recognized and respected by the South.
Any proposition looking to suspension
of this bloody and destructive war,
however remote, If not inconsistent
with the honor of the nation, will be re-
ceived with a thrill Of delight by the people
of the North. And we are satisfied that
the terms proposed by the Confederates, ii
accepted by the Administration, would he
enthusiastically ratified by the people and
the army. The terms are more favorable
than was expected, and embody all for
which the people of the North are now
fighting. A restoration of the Union--the
glorious old Union, around which have
clustered the grandest recollections and the
mightiest hopes of once great and happy
people-would fill the nation with trans
ports of unutterable joy. The negro ques-
tion might safely be left to time for its solu-
tion, and that barbarous dogma, that slave
ry, being the cause of the war, must be
abolished. would fall to the earth as an abb
surdity akin to that other absurdity, that
because religion has been the cause of war,
religion should be abolished.
II, as we hope and pray, these propositions
are made in earnest and by authority, and
ABRAHAM LINCOLN and his Cabinet refuse
the profered Peace because of their fanatic
al notions on the negro question, no power
on earth can preserve the Administration
from overwhelming defeat at the polls; and
ifLNcoLN assumes the tremendous respon-
sibility Of repudiating an honorable Peace,
the civilized world and all history will hold
him accountable for every life lost and
every drop of blood shed hereafter in this
war. The army itself will then see how
basely its heroism is perverted, and will be
the first to repudiate the men who would
betray itinto further sacrifices and more
sanguinary slaughter.

Hunter the Mumbug.

| The following statement of the case O
Maj j.-Gen. HUNTER Is from the New Yorl
Tribune the special organ of all negro ia
natics
We learn from sources entitled to credit
that Mai .-Gen. Hunter has demanded to be
relieved from the command of the Depart
ment of West Virginia, in consequence o.
all his available troops having been ordered
10 report to Maj.-Gen. Wright, who Is In
charge of the column that is to pursue the
rebel forces under Gen. Early, recently en-
gagged In the invasion of Maryland. This
spursuitn Gen. Hunters friends regard Ell
| ther as farce or as disaster: farce II
| Gen. Early chooses with his superior force
| to retreat toward Richmond; disaster in
case Gen. Early having sent his trains three
DAYS march ahead of him, should see fit to
turn and whip or gobble up some part OF
the "pursuing forces" Gen. Hunter is un-
derstood to have urged that he should nave
been given his own forces, with which to
again push down the Shenandoah valley,
and destroy all the crops and grain in that
great granery Of the rebellion.
To say nothing of the impudence of this
exploded humbug, HUNTER, in staggering
about and endeavoring to cast the blame of
his disastrous and shameful retreat from
Lynchburg on General GRANT, when it is
notorious that GRANT was terribly crippled
by HUNTERS blunder-it is marvellous that
he should have the brass to demand to be
relieved from a position from which he
should have been dismissed in disgrace.
With six weeks experience of HUNTERS
generalship before him, it is easy to see
why GRANT wanted HUNTERS forces taken
from him. The gross mismanagement OF
the Lynchburg expedition clearly demon
strated that HUNTER is unfit to command
any thing more consequential than a negro
stealing and barn burning raid. SHad 1t not
been for the GOODNESS, skill and courage Of
General Crook, HUNTER would have lost
his whole army, and have been himself pa
raded through Richmond in cage. A
General who places his artillery and wagon
trains in the rear and colony OF negroes
in front, on retreat is proper person to
criticise General GRANT and complain of
being relieved Of his army! .rr
"HuNTER is understood to have urged that
he should have been given his own forces to
again push down the Shenandoah valley, |
and destroy" everything in his path. This
Is HUNTERS idea of war. While the rebels |
we're roaming over Maryland and thunder
ing at the gates of the National Capital, he
wanted to be sent out of harms way down
he undefended valley, to burn, pillage, and
He did not care about crossing |
he path of the invaders; he was not inter-
ested in the safety of the Capital or the
of GRANTS army; but he
was anxious to go somewhere and destroy |
grain and colleges, and capture contrabands.
He is now in a terrible pet because such an
excellent opportunity Ito destroy" was al
owed to escape. If by this system of bull
ying and roaring, HUNTER succeeds in
himself in the command, the
lisgrace which he has already brought up
IN the country and the Administration'will
De UNANIMOUSLY augmented.

SEIZURE OF HoRsEs.-During the late
raid, Gen. Wallace seized and impressed in
to the service considerable number OF
horses belonging to secessionists in Balti-
more, giving to the parties from whom they
were taken certificates. Colonel Eagan i'm
poses the just requirement, the claimants
not only to take the oath of allegiance, but
to prove by loyal witnesses that they were
loyal previous to the seizure of their prop
erty. Affidavits made before judges OF
county courts are rejected. They must be
made before the district courts.-Neg York
Tribune.

An Able and FOrcible Arraign-
ment Of the Administration.


We print on the first page of this issue Of
The STATESMAN q caustic and pertinent ar
ticle, which we copy from The National In
telligencer. 1t is an able, candid and a
forcible arraignment of the Admins ration
at Washington, for its stupidity and ineffi-
cheney in connection with the late invasion
by the rebels. 1t should everywhere re-
ceive careful and attentive perusal. Tho
Neg York World speaks of it thus; and we
agree with it in all it says:
THE case is presented SO forcibly and
truthfully that we do not see how any un-
prejudiced person could read it without be-
ing satisfied of the utter unftness of Mr.. LIN
colin and his associates to have the conduct
OF affairs during great war. There is not
an American but must hang his head with
shame at the recollection of what has oc-
CURED in the neighborhood of the capital
during the past three weeks. AsThe Intel
Rgencer shows, there is not the slightest ex-
cuse for any of the various invasions OF
Maryland. Had the plain directions OF
General MCCLELLAN to General DANKs,
contained in his order of March l6, 1852,
been needed, the rebels could never, by
any possibility, have crossed the upper Po-
tomac. The failure to apprehend the ne
cessity for General McCLELLAN's wise pre-
cautions, as expressed in his letter to Gen.
eral BANKS, cannot have cost the nation
less than eighty thousand lives, three hun
dred million dollars, two years of war, and
immense loss of prestige. How long, oh
how long, is this hideous madness and folly

A RISE IN THE PRICE OF DRINKs.-Lager-
bier, as well as all other luxuries and nee
essaries of life, has ''gone up" and Monday
about all the principal saloons in New York
and Brooklyn raised the price to ten cents
per glass. Liquors and tobacco are now
quite costly luxuries. Cobblers and juleps
cost from twenty to twenty-five cents each,
and good segars from ten to forty cents
apiece. The enormous tax on the material
for these, together with the paper curren-
cY, is what has done it. --.t

The Emperor of France has given his
verdict in the matter OF the Isthmus of Suez,
of which he directed that he should be

that the Pasha is quite free to buy back for

by his predecessor Said for nothing. The
compensation rmake-weight for the heavy
damages incurred by the too confident Said,
for having foolishly trusted to the fair deal

TO SUBSCRIBERS AND FRIENDS.

From and after Monday, July ii, 1854,
we shall charge for The DAILY ONO
STATESMAN, and for The TRI-WEEKLY
STATESMAN, the prices below specified. We
have not before made any material advance
in our subscription rates. Within two
years, the cost of publishing daily news
paper in Columbus has increased nearly
one hundred per cent. The price Of white
paper has advanced to twenty cents per
pound, and is still going up-being more
than double what it used to sell for; the
price of type-setting is more than fifty per
cent. higher than it was; press work is one
hundred per cent. higher; rents and fuel
have doubled, and every other item which
enters into the cost Of publication has ad-
vanced in like proportion. To meet these
increased expenses, we raised the price Of
advertising as much as practicable; but the
late sudden advance in the cost of white pa
per leaves no alternative but an advance of
subscription rates. 5s
1t will be seen that the new scale of prices
is an increase of but twenty-five per cent.
on the old rates, while the cost of publica-
ton and ofliving has increased nearly four
times that amount. We purpose to return
to the old standard of rates, whenever the
price OF "print'' and labor shall fall enough
to render it possible. We believe that no
fair-minded reader will object to the new
rates, nor consider them more than right
and necessary under the circumstances:

Sherman and a Reverend Specu-
IatOr.


Some time since, the Rev. w. P. Campbell,
of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
and loud-mouthed loyalist of Nashville,
addressed a letter to Gen. Sherman. stating
that there was in Nashville large quanti-
ty of Confederate money which he could
get hold of and take South, to buy cotton,
If permitted to go through the lines, assert
ing that his object was to realize a hand
some profit, for the purpose of building a
college at Nashville. Gen. Sherman re-
ceived and read the letter, and then threw
it aside without answering it, as he knew
nothing about the author, and supposed his
motives were really good, while his plans
were not permissible. =
The reverend gentleman waited for a con-
siderable length of time, when he address
ed the General as follows: ~
NASHVILLE, June A.
MAJOR GENERAL SHERMAN:-SIR-I wrote
you some time since relative to permit to
go South and purchase cotton with COnfed-
crate money, and have received no answer.
presume you thought my college project
was not feasible, and therefore did not give
it attention. Now will make this prOpo-
sition: will buy the cotton and divide the
profits with you.
Yours, truly, w. p. CAMPBELL.
General Sherman read the message, and
Immediately seized pen and ink and wrote
the following Endorsement on the back:
'This is Infamous. General Webster will
arrest this man, and punish him as his age
and standing in the community demand"
The order was transmitted to General
Webster, who, in consideration of his age
he was sixty-five-has only ordered him
north of the Ohio river.
