The President acted wisely in stop
ping the second raid through Georgia
of "A detachment of Federal troops
escorting a son OF Gen. W. T. Sher-
man. The raid Of the general, made
with a large and well equipped army,
with but little resistance. was mark
ed bv wholesale destruction and con-
fiscation of property and insults to
the helpless people in the line OF
march. The boast OF the Federal
commander was that he had not
only subsiSted his army on the I'M
poverished country, but had destroy
ed twice rs much as his army had
consumed. OF course this left the
women and children destitute and
dependent on their friends not To-
Gated on the line of march. Now, to
have n mimic march through
Georgia to the sea, with son OF
the victorious general as chief man
of the party, would be an insult and
an outrage to the people OF that
noble State, as well as OF the South.
We applaud the President for stop
ping the grand farce.
