their attention will probably create for them
more prestige aud glory than the capture Of
ten ordinary cities. Every available sol |
der in Shermans army has left Savannah
Beaufort aud Port Royal. Their destina-
ton is still mystery to the enemy, who
continue to guess that no matter where
they may be tending they will eventually
be seen in the vicinity of Charleston.
General Sherman has not given hint of
his programme and his troops have evinced
no curiosity in the matter.
Deserters from Hardee's army report the
enemy depend almost solely on the resist
ance made beyond the city to save it from
capture, and if our troops should march to
the rear their presence would be equivalent
to its possession.
A gentleman from New York writes to
the World an account Of an interview with
Gen. Sherman and gives the views of the
latter concerning trade with captured cities.
Sherman said he believed that whenever we
carry trade into captured cities we feed the
rebels out Of our resources. So they gain
more by their losses than we by our victo-
ries. He would exclude trade from every
captured city, and convert them into mill
itary posts The business community will
make money at the expense of our country's
interests and the honor Of our flag. He re-
ferred to Memphis, and said the results of
opening trade were to give Forrest all the
supplies he wanted and ten to twenty thou
sand men, besides by the opening of captur-
ed coast cities to trade by the Federal Gov
ernment, we should supply the rebels with
all the goods they used to receive by bl ock-
ade runners, at cheaper prices and less risk
and inconvenience

The Richmond Sentinel says "Among
the most mischievous in purpose and dan

State Conventions which are being made in

is in the army. The duties of citizens thus
engaged are such as would prevent them

though not probable.
