NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
His Appearance ~ Aitiia,

From the Agusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
We think, too, that General Sherman
Las made great mistake in boasting OF
the b'utalites which accompanied and
diSgraced his famous march to the sea.
Had he attempted to excuse or palliale
the unnecessary atrocities of that move
ment, we should not have banned him
for any effort to etface the foul blot upon
his soldiers escutcheon. Instead ofdolng
this General Sherman boasts of his bru-
tai exploits. He has a pride in what Is
his shame, and takes care to blszon MS
own disgrace. There are those now
who blinded by passion and swayed by
partizanship, will praise any crime com com
mitted against rebels but II Is no DIM
cult task TO forecast pnsterity-that TIL
bunal before which ali heroes must APP
pear. and by which great men and their
acts must be judged. Posterity has
never denied the generalship of Attlla IN
ancient or of Suwaroti in modern times
of the vanquisher of the Romans ana
the conqueror of Ismael; but history ana
poetry have both united to make their
barbarism and the crueltIes infamous
among men. GeneralSherman may now
boast of the red ruin which marked his
prssage through Georgia and the Caro-
iinas, but the world will declare that
the fame of great soldier was stained
by the acts of cruelty and brutality
which would have disgraced the chiet-
tian of II tribe of Indians or the leader
of a band of brigands.
