ShermanS Railroad Communications
why they have not been cut Off


A correspondent of the Savannah Re
publican-now with the army of the Ten
nessee-on June l3, writes.
The question is frequently asked, in
spirit Of complaint, by persons outside of
the army, why Gen. johnson has neglec-
ted to send his cavalry to the rear of the
enemy and cnt his railroad communica-
tions. The answer is simply that Gen.
Wheeler cannot be spared for an hour
from his present position on the fanks.
The commander-in-chiefh has relied on 9TH
er means and repeatedly urged their adop-
ton. What these terms are it may not
be advisable to state, but the fault if any
there be, rests upon far higher authority
than that Of Gen. Johnston.
Tne President is fully aware Of the
necessity of operations in the rear of Sher-
man. and it is not for those beyond the pale
of official circles to complain, that even
he is not doing his duty to the best of his
ability. When you remember the impor-
tant sailroads to be defended by the caval-
~ attached to this army, now within a
day's ride or less Of the enemy, it will be
readily seen that Gen. wheeler cannot,
without risking the safety of our com
municatiOns, be detnched for other service
than that in which he is now engaged;
while on the contrary, the revelation of
history may show that there is work else
where to be done, which prevents the en-
pIoyrnent of the eDther body-of cavalry for

found that she had lost fearfully. Her deck

scuppers ran with blood. Her commander,

1hlAFaNDA--s
Some # the surgeons attached TO the
Provost MaTshals' offices in this city have
devised a new and very effective scheme
for the treatment of persons who propose
to enlist, but arc found physically incom-
petent to endure the handships Of the ser
vice. Such persons are "msrked' upon
their backs. 1t is understood that the sur
geons object tothe use Of theword brand
ed"
1t is alleged on bthalf Of the surgeons
that this "marFing" is done for their own
convenience and pro lection; that it is
private arrangement of theirs; that the
Proves Marshal-Generals Department
has nothing 70 do with it. and has no know
ledge of the facts and that the. result is a
positive benefit to. the service, because il
obyiates the possibility Of accepting man
who has been nranarlr,oed f.i.y7s; ally III
competent to dOiduty.
The abuse at which this measure is aim
ed is extensively practised by the brokers,
who take men rejected at one office to
another one, and If again rejected, TO still
another, and so on, in hope that they may
stin find a surgeon who will overlook the
cause Of disability, and accept the recruit.
If successful in his efforts the broker gets
HIGH compensation. The process of 'mark-
ing" men is not publicly known, and the
physicians do not divulge their secret. The
work Is done duriug the examination, and
so quickly, it is said, that tho person does
not know when the operation is perform
ed upon him. The mark is sometimes in
the form of a cross.-N. j. Er. Post.

Of course. was less effective on account Of

Powell. In passing the fort the Oneida
received shot, which temporarily disabled
