PriYate Loss and Public Economy.

1t will be seen by reference to the Legis
lative Summary we publish this week, that
a communication was received in the Senate
on Saturday last, from the Supreme Court
Reporter, stating that in consequence of the
increased cost of paper and printing. che
could not furnish any further reports at the
prices established by law without loss -
Under this state of things, we presume the
Legislature will come to the relief of the
Supreme Court Reporter, and pay him liv-
ing prices. 1t certainly should do so. We
do not believe in allowing public officers to
set the price of labor or necessary articles
to be furnished and making that standard
for years regardless of the change in prices
1t costs at the very least 200 per cent. lnors
now to ordinary printing, than it did four
years ago, and yet Legislatures, Boards of
Supervisors and village corporations insist
on cutting down printers bills to the price
they paid before the war. This idea of pub
lilo economy at the expense of individual loss
is wrong With the view of saving the
county ten dollars, that would not amount
to the Tooth part of per cent. on the valu
alton when borne by the county at large, the
printer is robbed of that amount of his hard
earned wages There are public officers
that will do that and then boast of their
economy in saving 50 much for the county,
and thus lessening the taxes.

An Interview with Sherman.
from the Boston Adver.is,

from the Boston Advertiser.
We are permitted to make the following
extract frem private letter received from
an officer who met General Sherman soon
after his arrival at Savannah and the con-
clusion of his agreeable march:
We are just now full of Sherman, whose
advent in this quarter has stirred us up as
well as the rebels had the exceeding
qualification of passing several hours with
him OH board the flagship. Before he said
word about his campaign, he talked Of
--, and spoke of him in the same kind
way that all his army friends whom have
met have done, aud in high praise of him
as a soldier. Then he went on about his
march, though more in reply to questions
than otherwise, and modestIy enough. You
can fancy the interest of all this.
He has keen eye and most expressive
face, and no nonsense about him. He deals
with these villainous rebels in the right
vein, and takes down their high tone most
effectually, as we have seen by his letters,
and as an incident which he related shows
that he don't let slip an opportunity for
stripping them of their false pretensions.
The storming party at Fort McAliister lost
some lives by the torpedoes planted in the
ditch, and some hours after the surrender,
a soldier stepping on one was fatally wouRd-
ed. The garrison of the fort were set to
work to excavate them, and the Major ex
postulated about thus exposing their valua
bic lives. Sherman turned on him with -
THAT mans life is worth more than the
whole Southern Confederacy-worthm more
than JEFF. Davis life; he was an honest man
and a good soldier. | have a mind to put
you all in a house with these torpedoes, and
blow you up
Sherman said his army was as large as
he wanted it; he had as many men AS could
be handled, and he could go anywhere with
lt-haa not lost wagon on the way-had
not been harrassed in the least by the enc
my, who had never seen his main body at
all. He had left q trail behind him that
would marx his path fer a long time, and
had not left fence standing over a tract
forty miles wias, nor any live stock either,

on train numbers 1880. All the horses
and mules that gave out were shot Mid

Savannah fell into hands without resist
ance, and no doubt if the swampy nature of
The country will permit him to make his
way through it, he will take Charleston

A Fortress Monroe dispatch of the 18th
says the steamer Blackstone, Capt Berry,
arrived there that morning from off Fort
Fisher bringing 240 officers and privates
wounded in the late assault. The latest
news from Fort Fisher is that the reb-

works defending the entrance to Cape Fear
River. At the time of sailing, the smaller
gunboats had entered the river and were ao-
lively engaged searching for torpedoes pre-
paratory to an advance against Wilmington.
Shortly after the capture of Fort Fisher

The Work Of the Sanitary Commission.

The work of the Sanitary Commission is
well described in the following letter from
the Rev. Mr.. Phillips, now Chaplain in the
army, and formerly pastor of the Presbyte-
rian Church, Rondout, New York:
cot the great and good work of the SAM
tary Commission should like TO say some
thing, but hardly know how to speak of it
without using terms which, while to me
they seem to fall far below what truth and
justice demands, may to those unacquaint-
ed or mex perienced in its practical workings
seem exaggerations. But the fact is, it can
not be exaggerated, and language is made
quate. Following the soldier, as it does,
from his enlistment to his discharge, whetb-
er that be to his family or his long home, its
kind, and judicious, and prompt help is ever
ct hand, often times unconscious to him
self, but shedding its gentle influence and
ministrations of mercy as nothing else does
or can; and all this with an economy and
protection against imposition that is rarely
found III even our best benevolent enterprises.

Blair Returns to Richmond Hopeful Autici-
pati9nS.
New YORK, January q

ANEW 1Ohh3 ~. +
The HeraId's Washington special says:
''F. P. Blair, ST., will start for Richmond
again tomorrow. Since his return he mas
been in frequent and close consultation with
the President and other leading members of
the Administration, but what the character of
his communications have been, or with what
authority he is now clothed, is fact I'M
known. That he should so soon return is
indicative of his having been Oh arged with
some communication from jeff. Davis, the
terms of which have not been made public,
and in connection with the successes achiev-
ed by our forces since his interview with the
rebel Executive, and the evident disinclina-
ton Of the mass of the Southern people to
continue the war, induces belief on the
part of the Administration that the resour-
ces of craftsmanship may now be usefulIy
employed, in connection with vigorous
prosecution of military and naval operations,
to bring about termination of existing diff
culties. 1t is now certain that he returns
at once to the rebel capital. This would in
dictate that Mr.. Blairs first mission was far
more successful than was allowged to tran
spire."

produce for supplies needed by their fami-

case they or any Unien citizen of Georgia
