HOW sHERMAN's ARMY LOOKED.

It wss 8 noticeable feature of these men,
that although dusty and unclesnsed from
the soils of their long march, their ssldierly.
bearing shone clearly through all DISCUSSES.
The Western army has adopted the slonch
felt hat instead of the smart regulation cap,
being more protection from the hot sun,
and more comfortable in the cold. They
stepped into Washington this n orning'
fresh from q desert country. They have.
entered no civilized cityssincsr many of
them passed through Nsshville-no city
where the traces of war and devastation.
we're visible Could these men have been.
reviewed as they passed in review through
Goldsboro, they would have resembled.
Fslstsf's ragged recruits, with scarcely q
whole garment in the army. Most Of them
have been furnished with new psnts and
shoes, although we saw semsof them bare
footed. BARRIERS are evidently not pleuti-
full in the army of Sherman. All seemed,
to have we'll filed knspsacks; seven thous-
and miles of marching have taught them.

was, if possible, superior to that of yesbeI-.
