For paper 50 Intensely loyal as the
New York Times, the following sober views
in reference to Gen. Sherman raid through
Georgia are singular We read something
very much Ike this in the Chicago Times, a
week or two ago:
We are not Of those who expected vast ad-
vantages from General Sherman's advance
through Georgia, viewed merely as rad.
Georgia is undoubtedly the granary Of the
Couiederacy, and to destroy its harvests will
cripple Lee 5 army this winter. The carrying
of of cattle and horses viii beside lame the
Transporting power OF the rebel Confcd-
racv All these are benefits of some import
ance which we shall derive from Sherman's
invasion.
But, on the other hand, the Confcdracy is
essentially an agricultural State. Vast
breadths of land in South. Carolina, Eastern
Georgia, and North Carolina, formerly
planted with cotton, have been, during the
last year. so~n with wheat and corn. 1t Will
be exceedingly difficult to starve out such
q community.
Again, a destructive invasion of this kind
creates a vast number of new enemies.
Every man robbed and stripped by the tempest
of destruction now sweeping through Georgia
is hcnccforth hundred-told more bitter
hater of the North and the Union than ever
before All doubtful and lukewarm Southern
ers in that State have undoubtly become in
tense seccssionists. Ii is Just a j; would be

amendment to the act Of lolJ, has repealed
SO much at least OF the act of 1915, as, it is
contendned, excmpts the property:in question
from taxation. This seems to be too evident
to bear discussion, for, By the act of 1858,
the general assembly has enacted that all
property, real or personal shall be subject to
tGr,HioH, except that therein expressly en-
empted and We look in vain in that act for
any exemption Of property situated as is
that in controversy. 1t is evident that the
general assembly designed by this act to
deprive religious societies Of the privilege Of
holding so much property exempt from taxa
ton as they could under the act of lSi5.-
