Appearaace OF sherman,s FOragers.

4
Appearance OF Sherman's FOFagers.
A correspondent OF the New York
Times gives the following account of the
! appearance Of Shermans foragers on
their arrival at Goldsboro:
In the rear of each division followed
the foragers, or "bumm mmers. as they are
called by the soldiers, constituting a
motley group which strongly recalls the
memory of Falstaf $ ragged army,
though they are by no means men in
buRkram. The men having worn out all
their clothing and shoes during the
march, were obliged to provide them
selves the best way they could as they
went along
/ Here came men strutting in mimic
] .snity in an old swallow-tailed coat,
with plug hats, the tops knocked in;
| there group in seedy coats and pants
Of rebel gray, with arms and legs pro.
tF4ding beyond all semblance of fit or of
fas shion; short jackets, long-tailed s1r-
todts, and coats of every cast--with
brbad tails, narrow tails, and no tails at
=all of the most antiqnated styles.
/ Some wore womens bonnets, or young
ladies' hats, with streamers Of faded
ribbons floating Enthusiastically in the
vii I'D.
IN The procession of vehicles aud ami
! mails was of the most grotesque descrip-
dn There were donkeys, large and
small, almost smothered under burdens
of tnrkies; geese, and other kinds Of
panltry; OK carts; skinny horses pulliRg
ia the fills Of some parish doctors; old
sulkies, farn wagons and buggies, rocka-
ways, hacks, chaises, aristocratie and
family carriages, all filed with plander
and provisions. s4t $3.50
There was bacon, ham, potatoes, -four,
pork, sorghum, and freshly slaug Uttered
pigs, sheep and poultry dangling from
saadle-tree and wsgon--enough, one
would suppose, to feed the army for q
fortnight. ,1na sai = 10 .sat
All this provender was turned over to
the Chief Commissary of each division,
and was regularly issued to the troops
asrationss s ss4-f -
| The troops found dabundance of every
thing during the march in North Caro-
lima, much more, in fact, than they did
before crossing the border Of South
| Carolina; but, by general consent, no
burning of buildings was tolerated, and
In many cases something was left for the
family yhen they remained by their
| homes.
RefuRees, white and black, followedin
mournful procession in the arear Of the
| army. ane eheerfiallg shared with the
soldiers the food which had been taken
| from theifown homes and farms. There
was but little muFmuring or complain
ing, and but little exhibition Of bitter
feeling towards the troops. 49,

The LArE ELEcrIoNs.--It was plain
enough to all men who had studied the
past history of parties, that when the
Democratic party arrayed itself against
the prosecution of the war against the
rebels, and gave shelter and consequence
TO all tae traitors in the North, it was
bringing upon itself swift destruction.
Its defeat in November was next to an
Inhalation, but the spring elections show
that it is weaker now than then. The
Union majorities at the State elections
in New Hampshire and Connecticut are
larger than those given to Mr.. Lincoln,
and the municipal elections recently
held show increased majorities in cities
of Union politics, while Columbus. Ohio
and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, have wheeled
into line, and for the first time have re
pudiaued the Democracy.
Treason has killed the party, and it
remains should. for decencys sake, b
