THE NEWS.

ing jack, It must not be imagined that our
comnandcls in The field are 1ausing iron. tue
work Of crushing the rebellion to watch for
white flags Or white feathers. They know
That to abaic one turn Of the screw in the
VIII engine would feed the pride Of the rebels
and sct the Southern heart T. its vaporings
:s'eain. Just now, indeed, there is q
JUL in arms, but 1t will not be
for long period. Winter rains aud
Southern mud may clog the wheels ef
1he war chariots but cannot. stop them. Gen.
Thomas is pressing to find Hood ut Corinth,
and portion Of his army which had come
mp to Paducah in transports hes set out for
such destination. Preparations arc on foot
dorEa great battle In Georgia, whittier the
1cbcls arc sending troops to crush on: Shrr-
man, who is being largely reinforced from
the No, ,h-,000 having lctl New York by
steamers within the past len duys, be-
1icrcd to have such destination The
rebels soc TINT their cause is lost if
General Sherman once firmly plants the
old flag in Georgia. and calls ont from among
its people, disgustcd with the rebellion, the
dast springiDg tendrils which Will grow to
clasps Of steel for the Union as against dcs-
potism, for Peace under Liberty, in place of
a g1applc in the dark and in tue face Of q
scorning world, in behalf Of Human Chat
tclism.
Adyiccs from Savannah indicate the wisdom
and prudence with which Gen. Sherman has
begun his rule, and everything promises the
speedy rehabilitation Of that city, its restora-
lion to sanity and security, its setting clothed
and in Its right mind, with tho stars and
stripes above its homes.
We find no peace symptom more satisfac-
1ory or promising t4au the generous sympa-
thy that runs through all our loyal com.nuni-
ties ut the first tale Of suffering and want
among our Southern crring brethren. The
appeal from Sayannah hGs been mc: with
generosity that Is full Of beautiful sug1
gcstivcntss. These, indeed, he they
that clutchcd at our national lie,
the agents In revolt inspired by
not one humane principle, who fought
only to preserve the sum Of all vit1ainfes
And yet, SCARED US all tho land is by their
act, the wounds Will heal by FIRST intention,
and the process be speedy Of complete re-
union, when the rebels have lain down their
=rme and turned over TO the verdict and sen
teucc Of the people that which will remain
