The March to the Sea.

Gen. Sherman wrote from Allan ia
Sept. 20, 1864, the following letter ad
dressed to Gen. Grant, then Commander
in Chief, at City Point, Virginia.
The reduction of that city (Savannah)
is the next question. 1t once in our
possession, and the river open to us. ]
would not hesitate to cross the State
of Georgia with 10000 men hauling
some stores, and depending on the coun-
try for the balance. Where million of
people find subsistence, my army won't
starve. If the enemy knew that we had
our boats in the Savannah River, l
could rapidly move to Milledgeville.
/ will therefore give it as
my opinion that your army and Canby's
should be reinforced to the maximum;
that, after you get Wilmington, you
should strike for Savannah and its river;
that l should keep Hood
employed, and put my army in fine or
der for a march on Augusta, Columbia
and Charleston, and start as soon as
Wilmington is sealed TO commerce, and
The city of Savannah is in our posses
sion.
The letter winds up with this para
graph, which cannot be read, even now,
without emotion:
In the meantime, you know that
admire your dogged perseverance and
plnck more than ever. If you can whip
Lee and l can march to the Atlantic,
think Uncle Abe will give us a twenty
days leave of absence to see the young
folks. Yours, as ever,
w. T. Sherman,
Major General

STEAM HILL CLIMBER.-A new loco
motive for use on Ithaca Hill, n. Y,
has made its appearance. The incline
has five tracks, of which the two outer
are of the usual width, used in the ordi-
nary manner. When the engine starts
up the hill, it rests npon pair of rails
inst within the usual track and upon
set of double fanged small driving
wheels which are upon the same axles
with the big drivers-they being only
about thirty inches in diameter; this in
side track is raised about fifteen TO eigh-
teen inches above the outer one, and
high enough so that the big drivers do
not touch the track at all; the engine
rests now upon the SMALL drivers, and is
independent of the outer ones; then in
the center of the track is placed WIDE
cocged rail, which is exactly meshes into
the cog wheel which is between these
small drivers, directly under the center
of the locomotive. Thus it will be seen
that, by applying power to the big
drivers. in the ordinary way. the power
is applied to the cogsed wheel, which
does the climbing. The cogs are about
three inches from tip to tip, and the
wheel is eight inches wide.

was nominated tor Lieutenant tTOVernOr.
The Convention was largely attended,
and it's proceedings were marked with
high degree of enthusiasm throughout.
The following is
THE PLATFORM.
The following platform was unani-
monslv adopted without discussions:
"The Republican party of Ohio in
Convention assembled, reaffirming the
cardinal principles of their organization,
which have become received maxims Of
policy, State and National, declare on
specific points the series of sentiments
following:
"First-The States are one aa a Nation,
and all citizens are equal under the laws,
and entitled to their fullest protection.
"Secohd-That policy Of finance
should be steadily pursued which, with
out unnecessary shock to business or
trade, will ultimately equalize the pur-
chasing capacity of the coin and paper
dollar.
"Third-We are in favor of tariff
for revenue, with incidental protection
to American industry.
"Fourth-We stand by free education
our public school system, the taxation
of all for its support. and no division of
the school fund.
"Fifth-Under our Republican sys-
tenn of Government, there should be no
|
Church and State. and we oppose all
legislation in the ir terest of any partic-
ular sect. Upon this subject we should
not fail to profit by the experience of
foreign Governments, where the efforts
of the Church to control the State consti-
tute an evil of great magnitude, and en-
dangers the power and prosperity of the
| people.
"Sixth-we demand such a revision
of the patent laws as will relieve indus
try from the oppression of monoPolies
in administration.
"Seventh-A grateful people can new
er cease to remember the services of our
soldiers and sailors, and it is due to them
that liberality and generosity should
obtain in the adjustment of pay and
bounties.
"Eighth-That we demand that the
pnblic domain shall be scrupulously re-
served for occupancy by actual settlers.
"Ninth-The department of the Gov
ernment to collect the revenue and pre-
vent and punish frauds has our unquali-
fed approval.
"Tenth--That the power of municipal
corporations to create debts should be
} restricted, and local and other expendi-
lures should be so reduced as to dimin-
ish taxation.
'Eleventh--The observance of Wash
ington's example in retiring at the close
! of a second Presidential term will be in
the future, as 1t has been in the past,
regarded as a fundamental rule in the
. unwritten law of the Republic.
Twelfth---The distinguished success
of his administration, which to the fame
of the patriot and soldier has added that
; of the capable and judicious statesman
entities President Grant to the gratitude
of his countrymen."
