March to the Sea" from which notable worl
we extract the following choice paragraphs
The skill and success Of the men in collecting
forage was one Of the features Of this march
Each brigade commander had authority to detail
q company Of foragers, usually about hfty men,
with one or two commissioned officers selected
for their boldness aad enterprise. This party
would be dispatched before daylight with q
knowledge Of the intended days march and
camp; would proceed on foot five or six miles
from the route travelled by their brigade, and
then visit every plantation and farm within range
They would usually procure wagon or family
carriage, load it with bacon, cornmeal, turkeys.
chickens, ducks, and everything that could be
used o. food or forage, and would then regain
the main road, usually in advance Of their train.
When this came up, they would deliver to the
brigade commissary the supplies thus gathered
Often would paes these foraging parties at
the roadside waiting for their wagons to come
up, and was amused ct their strange collections
mules, horses, even cattle, packed with old sad
dies and loaded with hams. bacon. bags OF corn
meal, and poultry Of every character and descrip-
ton. Although this foraging was attended with
great danger and hard work, there seemed to be
: charm about it that attracted the soldiers, aud
it was privilege to be detailed on such party:
Daily they returned mounted on all sorts Of
beasts, which were ct once taken from them and
appropriated to the general use; but the next day
they would start out again on foot, only to repeat
the experience Of the day before. No doubt many
acts Of pillage, robbery and violence were COM
mitted by these parties OF foragers, usually called
'bummers;" for have since heard OF jevelry
taken from women, snd the plumber OF articles
that never reached the cOmmissary; but these
acts were exceptional and incidental.
never heard OF any cases Of murder or rape ;
and no my could have carried along sufficient
food and forage for march Of 800 miles, 90 that
loraging in some shape was necessary. The
country vas sparsely settled, with no magis-
trates or civil authorities who could respond 10
acquisitions, - 10 done in al the wars of Europe,
90 that this system Of foraging was simply indis-
pensable to our success. By it our men were
wen supplied with al the essentials OF life and
health, while the wagons retained enough IN
case Of unexpected delay, and our animals we're
well fed. Indeed, when We reached Savannah,
the trains were pronounced by experts to be the
fnest in fiesh and appearance ever seen with any
army. I.

The State Pr hitting.

We notice that many Of the Dam ocratic
papers are pointing 10 the Increase IN cost
OF State printing, as au evidence OF he
publican extravaganza. IL is true that
the State printing, last year, cost about
$50, 00O-about $1,000 additional paid
during the year being for the printing the
previous year OF the volume on tie
Industrial productions oi Maine. We
thus have nominal increase OF about
Slj 900 in the cost OF state printing since
lSj0-an increase for which the State
printers are by no means responsible, for
they have simply printed what the laws
required. But about $1,000 OF this IN.
crease in cost OF printing was tor en9roSS
lug bills in pint, which was formerly
done in writing; S2l35 was for printing
for the new Insurance Department, which,
though charged to the account OF State
printing, vas really nearly all met 10y
the license fees OF insurance agents paid
into The State treasury $3.50 WAS Tor
printing tor R4iho Dad Commissioners -
officers who did not exist twenty years
since, but have become necessary by the
growth OF our railroads; $4,000 was Tor
the full report OF Savings Banks, which
have mainly grown up within twenty
\ ears, the cost OF which is practically ]
paid by the tax on Savings Bank; $4,000
is TOR the Increased size and numbers OF
tn Q Educational Report; and nearly
5000 is for the printing (nol to mention
5000 additional for binding) OF the
Agricultural Report, which has been
published in response 10 a supposed dc |
inand from the farmers OF the State |
within twenty yeals.
1t will be seen AZ z glance that these |
items show just where the Sl5. 900
Increase in cost of public printing has
been-to say nothing OF the increased
cost Of paper. These items were all
pointed out in the governors message to
the Legislature, last winter, in order that
hat body might reduce the amount
Ut printing in any direction, il they
thought it consistent with the public
Interests. The Legislature did reduce
he amount OF printing required by law
in several directions, and not one OF the
Iorty Democrats in that body made any
10 reduce the amount OF print
ng any further, or even publicly intimated
hat II could be done without injury.
A side from tho new items for printing 10
most OF which we have alluded. the cost
ii State printing is less than it was in
1856, as the contract price paid the state
printers is less. The white paper costs
more than it did in in 1856, and therefore
makes that part OF the expenditure larger.

Nelo York Democratic Conrension.

Netc York Democratic Contention
The Democracy OF New York met in
Convention last week. and placed their
candidates on hard money platform !;
and declared themselves in favor of specie
payment, favoring and sustaining the
policy OF the Republican party. This
action is entirely contrary and in opposi-
ton 10 the course pursued by the Demo
Gratis IN Pennsylvania and Ohio. Both OF
these great States have declared for infla.
lion and for the repeal OF the National
Banking Law and for more irredee mable
curency-more forced loan and more
depreciation. and fluctuation.
On this great question OF sound cur.
rency and national good faith and honor
1t is a matter Of rejoicing to see the Demo-
clats take . stand. at once so important,
so necessary, and so Just, The Democrats
OF the South favor more greenbacks.
Many Of those Of the West favor the
same heresy. The action Of New York
will have tendency to stay the tide OF
dishonesty and reputation. II Democracy
could have its way, its doctrines as held
in the South and West would control the
party IN spite of New York and the ex-
treme east and the extreme west. At
present 1t is gratifying to note that the
tide OF initiation is DISTRACTED by one OF
the most powerful and populous States,
in Us party action.
