OUR SOLDIERS IN SOUTH CARO-.
LIMA.

A late New York paper has letter
from an officer in Sherman's army. stating
that the soldiers were intensely anxious
to be led into South Carolina. They were
eager beyond measure to take promen-
ade through the Rattlesnake State"
The wish was natural. The 6re-eating
rebels of South Carolina have for long
time been hurting scorn and defiance.

making faces and grimaces At the people
of the North. Their insolence toward
US has been thousand times greater than
that of all other rebels. Their contempt
for Us has been too profound for mea-
surement-sheir hatred and ferocity too
intense for expression. The mouthings
Of their orators, the rantinSs Of their press
the measures and resolutions of their
Legislatures, the proclamations of their
Governors, have each exceeded the other
in wild extravaganza about the people OF
the North. It was South Carolina that
melted and forced the Southern States to
disunion; it was South Carolina that
passed the first ordinance of secession it
was South Carolina that began the war.

of the Federals, both as regards men and
money, are practically inexhaustible. And
80 great is the advantage they possess in
their navy and in the monopoly of water

pendent Of the New York World, who

mits the terrible blow to the South in the
loss of Savannah:
II it be true that the darkest hour is jus'

this morning which is of gloomier nature
than ! have ever received. The fall oil
Savannah is really a great blow to the
South, and so it is felt at Richmond. Il
is NOT the loss of the city itself that is felt.
That is mere bagatelle. It is the conse.
quence that must result from the capture
which gives the Southern leaders such
great concern. In this view, the Confed-
crate leaders are forced to admit that Gen.
Sherman has done well in abandoning
Atlanta for Savannah, because Savannah;
to the North is worth dozen Atlantas.

one of our shells, and that the flag was
laying upon the slope. The temptation
was strong. and the Lieutenant determined
to make il his own. He observed that
the ditch which ran along the front of the
fort toward him, did not extend beyond
the road, and hastily passing around be
gained the road and crawled upon the
glacis and seized the prize. and escaped
with it in safety. On this road ne OBJ

R.bel Cali for R.l.f.resweu,..


The Richmond Sentinel calls for rein
forcements in the following strain: Grant
has divided his two great armies into three
-Msade's Sherman's and Thomas. We
hall have to meet him with correspond
ing arrangement.
Sherman on the Atlantic coast is far less
formidable than Sherman in the interior.
BY the exchange of Atlanta for Savannah,
he has thrown away an advance and an
advantage that cost him campaign and
many tens of thousands of men. His new
position entails upon us no further incon-
venience than the necessity of making new
dispositions Of our own forces. That Is all,
and that is nothing. The great and anxious
duty that il now upon Us, Is suitably TO
strengthen our armies. We entreat Con-
gress, and we warn the people not to ne
ileet or delay that most imperative obliga-
ion through any self.quieting conceir OF
he merit Of our commanders. We must
not make our admiration and confidence
III our commanders either reason or an
excusefor withholding the means demand
ed by the work assigned Them. II an
army of eminent military generals could
alone have suffered, if distinguished talents
could have supplied the place of men, then
sherman could never have reached the
coast. while Beauregard and Bragg. and
Richard Taylor and Hardee appeared.
3ut even such as these and all Of these
we're comparatively powerless because
comparatively alone. They had not the
men to work with. The pressure of the
war threatens to fall on General Lee. We
snow not how this may prove. The en-
envy may perhaps join their packs to pull
him down. If they attempt it we must,
and we will, stand by him. To cramp
MIN with mere compliments when he asks
TOR men, would be to give him aistone in
answer to cry for bread. We must no.
expect impossibilities of him. II we do.
he gift Of God to our cause, for which We
cannot be sufficiently thankful, will prove
\ snare, and may work our ruin. Let the
work Of Strengthening our armies be now
nur great concern, as it is our first grea'
business. There is nothing else to excite
our solicitude. The military operations
Iver which the enemy are at present Joy
Gus amount to nothing. Sherman ma!
cackle over few thousand bales of tina
cotton of which we have millions, and h,
may exult over the city for which he has
paid another. AL this is nothing, but thu
reinforcement Of our armies We may not

During the war in Spain with the Moors

the Moors The Count was destitute OF

lemma he issued little bits of paper, on
which be inscribed various sums, both

by q miraculous kind of alchemy did the
Count turn worthless paper into precious
gold, and make his impoverished garrison
abound in money. The Count de Tendilla
redeemed his promises like an honest
knight; and this miracle, as it appeared
in those days, is the first instance on re-
cord of paper money, which has since in
