nant who had won Vick<burg under his
directions. General S%herman's march
from Vicksburg to Chattanooga was, as
we showed at the time, one Of those
brilliant operations from which even eX-
perienced generals ARE apt TO shrink, aud
which in the hands Of inferior generals
become great disasters. The failure of
Sherman's great expedition into Alaba-
ma, which failed, though without disas-
ter, only from the failure of the support
ing cavalry not then under his command,
was an exception which strengthened the
evidence of his ability for such opera
tons. The march to Atlanta was not an
operation Of this kind. 1t was a regular
and most difficult campaign, but of course
one without which the recent expedition
would have been impossible. From
Yicksburg to Savannah General Sher-
mans career has proved his wv and &C.
neral Grants great capacity for knitting
together the most distant successes into
one great result more important than all
Of them taken together, because it shows
the magnitude of their military concep-
lions and the practical conference of their
plans.
And what is more, the Federal Gene
rails fad the v~astness of the spaces over
which they are compelled to pass in
making the various campaigns fit into
each other a source Of strength as we'll
as Of weakness. This last fact is due no
doubt to the root Of the whole matter
the slavery which is the Southern crime
aud weakness. Were the South a homo
seueous population of white men, the
armies that might penetrate it would
pierce The various States only at the cost
of dwindIing visibly with every days
march. AS it is, the invading army is a
sponge which sucks up strength aud aid
d il proceeds General Sherman has
reached The coast, we are told, with q lar
ger army than with that which he started
from Atlanta. The great march has not
been d loss, but a gain. THIS, however,
is not due to any general>hip, but 10 the
cause in which the North is fighting,
They have their reward in Il much more
eff ctlVe and satisfactory shape than any
slave insurreclion could have given Them.
AS 4 general result the North will
doubtless feel deeply the encouragement
of this great success. and venture 10 in
fer from it that the disasters Of mere
military capacity are substantially passed,
and that In each fresh campaign they
may look for greater and greater results
from the genius of their leaders and
their peoples natural prtponderanee in
strength. General Lee is now the only
Southern commander who can be regard
ed us the equal Of Generals Grant, Sher-
man, Sheridan, and Thomas 4; it has been
seen that the free States produce a great.
er crop even of military capacity, though
they Found it far more difficult to detect
on the spur of the moment, than the
Slave States, that the greatest weight
Of intellect accompanies the greatest
weight of material resources, that the
tendency OF every successive campaign
is to increase still more the chances of
the North,-that it only needs indomita-
BILE perseverance to succeed in the end.

great error when. he says "a heavy capitalist
or banker who owns capital in L. S. bonds

The capitalist who owns one hundred thous-
and dollars in u s. 7.30 bonds, pays the
Government yearly tax Of FIVE hundred and
ten dollars, thus; His interest amounts to
seven thousand three hundred dollars-on
fortyfo hundred Of that be pays FIVE y

pays ten Il cent.
