mercy.

cotton possible, and that in a financial
point of view it is absolutely essential al

Yankees, taking all the portable property
they could find, and selling such as they
did not want. Wheeler and his officers

TRYING TO RALLY.
South Carolina papers comm ant upon
the expected advance of General Sherman,
and think he designs doing serious dam
age to the Palmetto State. They make an
earnest call for the people to rally. One
psper SAYS Let the march of the enemy

prove themselves worthy descendants OF
those of '76.
