TIE CAPTURE OF sAvAN-
NAH.

Che telegraph of Monday states that
SHERMAN has captured Savannah. On
tho Goth inst, HARDEE, withsmost Of the
garrison, crossed the Savannah river to
Uiion causeway and escaped On the
morning of the 21st General SHERMAN
occupied the city, capturing $50 large
guns, Is locomotives, 100 cars, $4,000
bales of cotton, 8 steamers, 800 prisoners,
and large amounts of ammunition. The
Confederate iron-clads were blown up by
HARDEE. The torpedoes in the channel
bad been removed OF passed over, and
Communication With the city was opened
by General FOSTER. We presume that
SHERMAN's next move will be against
Charleston or Augusta.

Opening the cate to pespotIsm

Mayor Gunther, of New York rs de-
nounced because she insists that the in-
cendaries of that city shall be convicted
before the civil courts. by due process OF
law" before they are punished. This
denunciation is by loyal newspapers,
based upon the assumption hat the New
York incsndialies are tsemissaries of the
rebellion. IF that should be shown, makes
any difference. The offense which they
have committed is punishable under the
laws of New York, and it would be
strange indeed if, in a case like the one
under consideration, the local civil au-
thorities are not, in every way competent
to the task of pursuing the offenders, and
bringing them to Justice. To take the
work out of the hands to which it has
been committed by the organic law of
the land, is equivalent to a declaration
that these hands are unfaithful or made
quate ; and to assume this in one case is
to assume it in all cases; which is to pro-
rounce against civil Government, and to
set up the summary processes of a mill
tary commission as the only ones that are
adapted to our state of society.-Can.

ENLIST.

We supposed when ABE Issued his call
for 100000 more, that all the Abolition,
patriots who voted for waryvould rush to
the recruiting Office and enlist. In this,
we were mistaken. The eowardly curses
will advocate war and denounce Demo-
crats, but they are very careful not to
risk their own carcasses within reach Of
Southern bullets. Walk up, ye "Loyal
Leaguers." and enlist. Don,t be back
ward. IF a rebel bullet should make
daylight shine through you, it would be
no great loss, for better men thar you
have been slaughtered in this accursed
war. Walk up and enlist-we
don't want to see you conscripted. Ger
not.

Effects Of war.

A French historian gives the follow
ing h~orrifying picture of the effect of war.
War brings on famine ; famine. pesti-
;~lence; andethis IN turn produces famine.
The year in which the massacre of Paris
took place (l4IS), wretchedness, fright
and despair brought on an epidemic which
is said to AVE carried off, in that city
since, $4,000 souls. They died in such
numbers, ard so fast that it was necessary
to dig large trenches in the burial grounds
into which they were. cast by thirfies and
~forties, packed like bacon, and scarcely
sprinkled over with earth. In 14l9
there were no harvests gathered in. The
husbandmen were dead or had fed. Pro-
visions rose to a fearful price. All over
Paris were heard the painful lamentations
of little children crying out. 81 am dying
of hunger" You might see on a dung
hill twenty or thirty children, boys and
girls. perishing with cold aud hunger.-
In 1421 a like and seyerer famine. The
men employed to kill thesdogs were fol-
lowed by crowds Of poor, who, as they
killed, devoured, all, flesh and CUTS
Floeks of wo!vcs secured the fields,
scratching up the corpses. They enter.
ed Paris by night. No fewer than TO-
600 houses were u~ntenated. Beggars
outnumbered the other persons, and the
country lsborers abandoned the fields
and said among themselves "Let US fly
to the woods with the wild beasts-fare-
well wives and children-let us do the
worst we canElet US give ourselves to
the devil"

ONLY A FEW KILLED.

Take up a journa! when You may, and
something like the above is sure to meet
your eyes. How frequently do wessee
these words; "only a few killed" and
pass on without stopping to think that
there is a volume of thought in them
Only a few more souls ushered without a
moments warning into an eternal world
to meet a just God. Only a few more
hearts made'sad or broken. Only n few
more mothers left to mourn for their sons
who will never return, or fond wives to
weep for husbands who were among the
feao who were killed. DULY a few more
orphans, dependant upon the strong arm
of a fond father, left without a supporter
and to cry for him who cannot ,eturn.-
Only a few more vacant seats around the
old hearth stone that before vas the cen
ter about which, the family we're accustom-
ed to gather aud spend their winter even
ipgs most pleasantly, without a single
sorrow.to mar their perfect happiness,
but now those there, aresad and weeping
because among the "few Killed" were
some who were accustomed to FIJI the va
cant chairs. Many q fond mothers heart
has bled, many a loving wifs's spirit has
sunk when they knew that their all was
lost in the sfew killed"
But humanity is dead and the awful
work of murder still goes on. The
dreadful car of war still moves forward
crushing beneath its destructive wheels
countless numbers of useful lives. The
mothers wall, the widows mour and the
orphans cry cannot be heard amid the
shouts for blood and carnage. Kind
fathers, afiectionate brothers and dutiful
SONS are forced to leave their happy
homes and go to the fields of slaughter ;
they are torn away from the dear ones at
home who are fearful that they may be
among the next @few killed"
How long will this work of inhumani-
~ and barbarism be carried on? Must
citizens continue to pour out
their hearts blood to satiate the political
purpose of the men in power2 Oh that
the war trumpet might cease to be heard
in our land and the copious streams of
tears that are being Wrung from the breakl
ing hearts of mothers and wives may be
dried up. Then would all be peace and
tranquility, and no more would be scen,
a .fc1 killed." .t

HUMANITY.
We clip the following from the Cincin-
natl Gazette of Monday last

We clip the following from the Cincin-
natl Gazette of Monday last
aThe brilliant victory of Col. CHEW
1NGToN over the Indians in Colorado
Territory, in which, with an Incredibly
small loss of white men, 500 Indians
were reported killed, it is now reported
was an atrociousf massacre of unarmed
men, women and children. For the cred
it of humanity we hope that this was not
the case" q
How very humane the editors of the
Gazette are becoming all at once Not
long ago they were gloating- like fends
because SHERMAN, one Of LINcoLN's
butchers, was laying waste the country
thro' which he passed, turning innocent
women and children ont of doors, burning
their homes and robbing them of all they
had to live upon, and then leaving them
to die of starvation. Yet these ~'.loyal''
pimps, because a few Indians have been
subjected to the same kind of treatment
that thousands of white and chill
dren of the South have received at the
hands of SHERMAN, says that 'for the
credit of humanity we hope hat this was
not tie CASE" We think that "humani-
ty" has very poor "credit" in these de-
generate days of Abolition rule. If there
is anything said against this wholesale
murder and robbery that LINCOLN & Co.,
have been engaged in for the last four
years, the offender is denounced as eds
loyal" etc. No matter how many thous-
ands of white men are led to the slaughter
mo matter how many hearthstones are
made desolate-no matter if oceans of
blood are flowing from the hearts of our
fellow citizens, such blood-thirsty hounds
as the editors of the Gazette never utter
a word about '~humaniry." What care
if orr fathers, brothers and sons are
murdered, and our once prosperous coun-
made a barren waste, so that the war is
prosecuted for..the purpose of freeing the
negro and enslaving the white man? !
