il we allow that life has had any hand

SHERMAN AND THE SOUTH.


General sherman seems in a fair
way to receive tardv measure of
Justice from the South. OF all tho
northern commanders he has been
singled ont for lasting resentment. His
devastation OF the "cnemT's country"
from Atlanta to tho s"a and in the
South Carolina campaign has been
treated by tho Southern people and
their historians as Wanton cruelty
Now that Sherman's letters home
written in tho field of his family, are
published il is found that the gene
raj realized tho dreadfulncss OF the
destruction he left In his wake but
that he was impcllod to lay waste the
country by tho grim necessities of
war.
When these letters are attentivelY
read in the south a softening Of the
harsh Judgment which has persisted
after nearly all the scars Of the civil
War have been healed cannot fail to
follow. II may be that Shermar's Wig
orous views in opposition to the i'm
mediate enfranc hisement Of the slaves
may help the South to a kinGier feel
ing toward him Whether he was right
or wrong in differing from stanton

politicians may manufacture just 50

views arc those of the South to-day
For that reason the people below Ma
son and Dixon's line may arrive al
the more readily at the opinion thai

was not so black as he was painted.
