SHERMAN, inehis march through Geor

SHERMAN, in nrhis march through Geor-
gia, says the Macon Telegraph, destroyed
many things-dwcllings, corn cribs, agri-
cultural Implements, gin-houscs, clothing
of women and children. and in short, all
that tends to make life comfortable, was
ruthlessly given to the flames. Cattle,
horses, hogs, sheep and goats were dctroy-
ed. Nothing was spared but life. Thank
God, amlidst-the universal ruin, one thing
was cxtirpatcd, root and branch, which
amply compensates for all other loss. A
thing noxious rank and unclean: A thing
that, like foul and vcnomous toad, leer-
cd on the graves of our slain and made
light Of their blood. A thing that spat
on the hallowcd mound of the deal and
croalzed dishonour to the living-This
foul atortion-this political Caliba9aa this
spawn Ct cowardice and treason was re

kcc paper says: Hon. John Covode, who
has been for several days in conference
with the authorities about the exchange
of prisoners, left for his home this even
ing. He had several interviews with the
President, the Secretary of War, and
with Colonel Milford on the subject OF
an carly exchange, and received from
them the assurance that, as soon as few
preliminaries could be arranged, the ex-
change would be Immediately resumed.
AS soon as certain intelligence is~re-
ceived from General Sherman, which is
daily expected, Colonel Milford will be
sent to Richmapd tocompletc the arrange

THE. Virginia Sentinel, in reply to some
structures of the Charlottesville (va)
Chronicle, says: The maneuvrcs of Gen.
Lees campaigns have been all his ocn.
Admirable manevres they have been 1;
and most happily adapted to the circum-
stances of tho country. They have won
for him q rcnown Of which we have no
doubt the President would be extremely
proud, if it were fairly his; but he de-
serves no moro of it than belongs to cor
dial approval Of the policy of the distin:
guished general, and an adskation of the
genius which conceived it.

RICHMOND, Jan. 24.-The Legislature
of Virginia adopted resolutions on the
18th, declaring the appointment Of Lee to
all the armies of the Confederate States
would promote their efficiency and oper-
ate powerfully to reahimate the spirits of
the armies as we'll as the people of the
several,states, and inspiresincreascd con-
fidencc in the final success of our cause.
This resolution was communicated to the
President, WHO, in reply, says Virginia
cannot havc.a higher regard for General
Lee, or greater confidence in his character
and ability. than is entertained by him
Gen. Lee has always expressed his inabil-
ity to assume command Of other armies
than now confded to him, unless relieved
of immediate command in the field, OF Of
those now opposed to Grant. In conclu-
sion, the President assures the General
Assembly of Virginia that whenever it
shall be found practicable for Gen. Lee to
assume command of all the armies in tho
Confederate, States, without withdrawing
him from the direct command of the army
of Northern Virginia, he will deem it pro-
motive of the public interest to place him

The following incident, related by the
Louisvilec'Jounag, shows on what slender
circumstances great fortunes sometimes
hang:
;5ssssWe learn that another distinguished
major-gencral was in.:this city last week
with orders to the front to supercede
General Thomas. II seems that his pol
icy was not understood; his retreat upon
Nashville was thought to be wrong, and
when he retreated there he was too slow,
and the people and the authorities CON-
planned, so his recall was decided upon.
His successor was appointed and reached
Louisville, on his way to Nashville, bpt
paused in our city, when it was announc-
ed that Thomas had rcmounted his cav
airy, furnished his artillery with fresh
horses, and made;a sally on the left Of
the rebel line, and, in twenty four hours,
doubled Hoods divisions upon one anoth-
er in maze Of entanglcment. His success
sor returned to other fields.

correspondence of the Mercury says: "a
distinguished member of Congress called
on General Lee few days ago, to talk
over the state of the country. General
Lee said he saw nothing in the military
situation to justify dependency, much less
despair His only fear was that the dis
ease of depression might be permitted to
spread among the people. If this could
be prevented, he was sanguinc ofsucccss.
The member of Congress was opposed to
the use of slaves as soldiers, but General
Lees arguments induced him to with
draw all opposition. Gen. Longstreet
and Ewell concur with Gen. Lee.

BUFFERS CANAL NOT A SuccEss.--Atter
all it turns out that Buffers canal is not a
success. The bulllhead which was blown
out fell back very near the spot from
which it was forced. A letter from the
headquarters Of the army Of the Poto-
n1ac,' says:
In .deIpaltment the operations OF Of
the new year were to day inaugurateeby
the blowing out of tie bulkhead, which
for some time past, has been the only bar
ria preventing the waters of the James
river from passing entirely through Dutch
Gap canal J. do not harningly announce
the great success Of the turning of tho
channel Of the James river through Dutch
Gap canal, nor any of that sort of thing,
simply for the reason that, although the
bulllhead is blown out so as to allow the
water to pass into the canal through the
opening thus made, the explosion did not
sufficiently scatter the debris to prevent
it settling Jack gerry near tie spot 1shence 1t
forced it, zcaving much la6onr get to be done'
ere the water can be turned into its new
channel in volumes. sufficient to ensure
the passage of our armed boats through it.
However it seems to be the prevailing
opinion that with the dredging machine
used in clearing out the lower portion of
the canal, the loosoned debris can easily
be removed, leaving the channel entirely
unobstructcd and naEigabIe.

Soon after Hunters resignation last

because of his general odium, to look for

EACH day bringsits own duties, and
carries them along with it; and they are
as waves broken on the shore, many like
them coming after but none ever. the
same.
GRIEF humblcs to the dust, but also ex-
ats to the clouds; it shakes as with an
aguc, but also steadies like frost; it sick
ems the heart, but also heals its infrmities.
IT is far from being one of the best fea-
lures OF human nature, that, whilst we
love those whom we have benefited, we
often hate those who have benefited us.
You may gain applause by one great,
wise, or fortunate action; to avoid CEN

saying one bad orgoolish thing.
VIRTUE has its pains, but the greatest
happiness still abides with it, as the great
est unhappiness ever abides with crime.
