SHEDMANW REBUKE TO HOOD.
When Gen. Sherman made Treason feel the
iron heel of the conqueror by ordering all rebel,
citizens out tilhis lines, so as to prevent an organ
ization of rebel spies by the people who live on
her bounty. : GOn.'Hood denoiumed the order as
"studied and ungenerous cruelty." To this Gen.
Sherman replied in the following pungent letter.
It would be well for NOrthern men who are always
complaining of Union armies and officers, to read .
what the Hero of Atlanta says:
MEADOI2I MII,PFAILY DWISION OF• MISSISSIPPI,
rn the Field; Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10, 1864..
Gen. J. - B. Hood, Cornianding Army of die Teetelusee.
Confederate Army:.
General—l have the &nor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of this date, at the hands of
Messrs. Ball and Crew, consenting to the arrange.
ment I had proposed to facilitate the removal
south of the-peoplC,of Atlanta who prefer to go in
that direction.'
I enclose you a 'copy of my orders, which will,
I am satisfied, accomplish my purimse perfectly. -
You style the meares proposed "unprecedent
ed," and appeal the "dark history of 'war" for
a parallel, "as an'act of studied and ungenerous
cruelty." - It is nee j unprecedented, for Gen. John
ston himself very „wisely and properly remora' the
families till the way from D a lton down, and I see
no reason why Atlanta should be excepted. Nor
is it necessary to appeal to the "dark history of war,'
when recent and modern examples are so handy.
You, yourself, burned dwelling houses along
your parapet, and I have seen to-day fifty houses
that von have rendered uninhabitable because they
stood in the way Of your forts and - men. You de
fended Atlaula on a line so -close =to town that,
every cannon shot, and many musket shots from
our line of in% estment,'that overshot their mark,
went into the habitations of women and children.
General Hardee did the same at Jonesboro', and
Gen. Johnston did the same last summer at Jack!
son, Miss.
I have not accused you for heartles zi, c r uelty
but merely instance those cases of very recent
occurrence, and could gu on and enumerate bun-.
dreils of others, and, challenge any fair man to_
jud'te which of us has the heart of pity -for the
families of "a brave people."
say, it is a kindness to these families of Atlan
ta to ream . % e -them now at 'once fPoni scenes that
women and children should not be exposed to;
and the "irate People" should scorn tb continue
their wires and children to the rude barbarians who
thus, as you say, 'violate, the laws of tent,, as illus
trated in the pages ofits,"dark history!' -
In the name Of corriciii sense; I ask you not to
"appeal to a just God*"`--,_ m such a sacriligious man
ner! You who, in thtmidst of peace and prosper
ity,haie plungeda nationinto war—dark and cruel
war—thus dared and badgered us to battle, insulted
oar flag, seized our arsenals and fortsthat were
left in the honorable custody of a peaceful ordnance
Sergeant ; seized and made prisoners of even the
very first garrisons sent to protect your people
against negroes and Indians long before any other.
act was committed by the (to you) "hateful Lincoln
Government;" tried to force Kentucky and Mis
souri into rebellion in Spite of themselves; falsified
the vote of Louisiana, turned loose - your privateers
to plunder unarmed ships expelled Union families
by the thousand, burned their houses, and declared
by act of your Congress the confiscation of altdebts
due Northern men
.1 or goods had and received. Talk
thus to the Marines, but not to me, Vi•ho have seen
these things; and who will this day make as much
as sacrifice for the peace and honor of the South
as the best born Southren among you! If we
must be enemies, let us bit men, and fight it out as
we propose to-day, and not deal in such hypocrit
ical appeals to God and humanity.
God Will judge us in, due time, and He willpro..
nounee whether it be more humane to fight with
a town full of women and the families of a "brave
people" at our back, tar, to remove them in time
to places of safe* , among their OSill friends and
people.
I respectfully, your obedient servant,
am, W. T:Sarjr.slAN, Maj. Gen. Coin.
THE RICHMOND EXAMINER ON THE
POLITICAL SITUATION.
The Richmond-Examiner, the-leading organ of
Jeff Davis, reviewed the political situation on the
Ist of Septeinber, and-pointed out with singular
distinctness that the hopeisOf Rebel independence
and Democratic success in the Presidential con
test depended entirely Upon the succeas of the
rebel armies. The Examiner thus states the ease:
" If Atlanta were to fall, or Petersburg, or if
Sheridan should drive Early back to Lynchburg—
yr itany one of these ercnts shenildbefall, then all
the peace principles and ycace Presidents of Chi
cago would bs at the election in November where last
year's snore is, and last night's moonshine. War,
for another Presidential term would sweep away
every vestige of opposition. But, ou the other ;
hand, if Grant's anti--Sherman' s armies should hare'
no more SUCTRAtit within the next three months than,
for the three last, and if Sheridan's army of the!
'Middle Department' should still be pretending to ] ,
look for Early and taleingeare not to find him, or!
else at the fit* sight of him, running straight away'
—as for the last few weeks—in this ease it will
not matter to us hi the, least if the Chicago Dem
ocrats break up in utter confusion, and the Fre
. wont party collapse, and the Davis-Wade party
wither up, and Lincoln and Seward reign supreme
—nothing stuuld avail—the scale of peace would
preponderate, and that of war would kick the beam.
"In other words, the issues of peace and war
are not in the hands of politicians and statesmen':
no, not in the slightest degree - they are :ituthe*
handi of soldiers. It is useless to rote war if your
last annies=are destroyed; useless to rote peace if
your arenies•are marching on flushed with victory,
to a splendid conquest. Further, those Yankees
who are war men-to-day will he peace then in
three mouths, if their campaign turn out ad until.
failure; dad flionewho are for peace , to-day s (with
a few exceptions) will foam for-war and yell for
blood within the same three months, if they sce
reason to, believe that the Confederacy is reeling
to its fall."

ARE THE GERMANS WRONG IN WVNT.
LNG OUR BONDS?
Not a' bit of it! No shrewder, thriftier people,
in matters of money, exist on earth. Our Jersey
peo - ple.and New England people are a frugal, in
dustrious people, but they can't save money'lthe
the Germans. All Germany its a great savings
bank. It is true-that their working men an; not
so rich,;cin an'average, as our working men u be
cause they don't get more than one quarter of
the wages of our men. But a German can save
money, and ltelmosys when it is safe. Now these
shrewd; thrifty Germans want our bonds. They
want them by millions. They turn aside limn
the great beggars of the world in Europe, and
come to us Republic*. They treat the notes of
Napoleon and Joseph and Maximilian with indif
ference, but want to discount all the American
notes they can get. The London Times says this
is all wrong—that the Republicans in America
are all bankrupt, and the Germans must be crazy
to slight British and French beggars, and go beg
ging, themselves, to America. Are they crazy ?
We asked Prior Richard what he thought about
it "Why," said he, !‘ how can they be crazy,
when they are doing just what I did a little more
,than a, year a/io,.witen I put my little savings into
Government six per cents? Now see what :I got
by it; just count up. I have received six per
cent, in gold, which averaged 100 per cent. in
currency, making 12 per cent. income. Now, to
day, my bond is salable in the New York market
at 10 per cent, premium. Put these together,
and to-day I have 22 per cent. for one year's use
of my money! What do you think of that?' You
know, as well as I do, that there are thoniands
of people who do this, and to-day they hate 22,
per cent. on their investments. Why," saw,Miss
Jones, our school main, go to the bank and buy a
$5OO bond. How she got the money I don't know,
but these Yankee schoohnistressess are first.rate
hands at taking care of themselves. Well,.now,
count up. If Miss- .Tones sells her bonds to-day
she gets her $5OO back safe, and she gets $llO
clear gain. Can you sharp fellows down there in
William street do any better? You know I told
Mr. Smith, the banker, my ideas about that, and
he bought- $5,000 six - per cent. bonds, and you
see he got $l,lOO for a year's use of his money.
I met him the other day, and he said, "Poor
Richard, you are right; I begin to think the Gov
ernment can take care of itself; And us too. For
my part, I mean to buy some of the 7-30's: The
rate of interest is high enough, and in three; years
they, will turn into six per cent. bonds again."
"Yes, Mr. Smith, it is right, on the money side;
but,'4t is right on the country's side too. Help
your country, or it can't help you. Now; I say
the Germans are not only right, but they would
be right if they got half that interest. They can
not make a quarter of it at home." So thought
I'oor Richard, and so think we. When we think
of the German opinion of our situation and our
financial strength, we must remember that they.
are far better judges of our condition than we
are, or our enemies are. They are lookers on, at
a great distance. They have none of our mind
ties or prejudices. They can exaniine the facts
disinterestedly. , They do; and the result is aver"
diet that the American Government is stable—its
ability and integrity in meeting its financial en
gagements unquestionable. This verdict., too, is
founded on a series of facts which are unimpeach
able, and well' known to every intelligent Amer
ican. Take two or three of the most important:
J. The United States donbleti its population each
twenty-five years. The population of the vim.
try, which in 1550 was, twenty :three
in 1e75 be forty-six ,Brit the rebellion!
says some one. How much has the rebellion di
minished theStiength of the United States?. Take
this astonishing fact, that if all the Rebel States
luid been sunk in the Pacific Ocean, the United
States would in 1275 have a population equal to
that of Ihtleitat 113 1860. In - other words,Afteen.
years will supply the total loss of the eleven orig
ami:Rebel States! What can impede the prog
ress of such a country 1 2. The wealth of the,
country increased one hundred and twenty-seven
per cent. in ten yezirs ! Now let it increase but
80 from 1860 to 1870, and it will amount to ten
tunes all the 1011118 of the government The Ger
man knows what be is about.? He will get the
largest income from loans in tlifi*o - rld, on the set
fist security. No such opporttinity has occurred
before for the investment of money, and in all
probability will never occur again. If the Amer
ican does not know and take advantage of this,
therGerman and Frenchman will.—Ez.
A PEN PICTURE - OF lIIIEILELILIc.
Here is a description, by a Cincinnati Gazette
correspondent, of Gen. Sherman as he appeared
on the march around Atlanta:
While I was watching to-day the endlei3a line
of troops 'shifting by, an officer, with a modest
escort, rode up to the fence near which I was
standing, and dismounted. He was rather tall
and slender, and his quick- movements denoted
good muscle added to absolute leanness, not thin
ness. „His uniform was neither;new nor old, but
bordering on a hazy mellowness' of gloss, while_
the elbows and knees were a little accented from
the continuous agitation of those joints.
Te face was one lehould never rest upon in
crowd, simply because, to my eye, there was
,nothing remarkable in it, save the nose, which
!organ was high, thin, and planted with,a curve
.as vehement as the curl of a Malay cutlass. The
face and neck were rough and covered with red
, dish hair, Mni — eye light in color animated.,but,,
through restless and bounding like a ball front one
',object to another,, neither piercing or brilliant;
the mouth. well closed, but common; the ears
large: the hands and feet lung and thin; the gait
a little rolling, but firm extractive. In dress and
manner, there Was not the slightest trace of pre
tension. He spoke rapidly, and generally with
an inquisitive smile. ,To this ensemble I must
add a hat which was the reverse of dignified or
distin,guished=a,simple felt again, with a - round
crown and drooping lir,m andyou have ureic a de
scription of Gen. Sherman's externals as I can pen.
Seating himself on a stick of cord wood hard
by the fence, he drew a bit of pencil from his
pocket, and, spreading apiece of note paper on
his knee, he wrote with great rapidity. Long
columns of troops lined—the road a few yards in
his front, and, beyond the road, massed in a se
ries of spreading geeeu fields, a whole division
'of infantry was waiting to take np the line of
march, the blue ranks clear cut against the ver
dant backgrqund. Those who were near their
general, lookeil at him curiously, for in so vast an
army the moldier sees his commander-in-chief
but seldom: ?age after page was tilled by the
General's nimble pencil and despatched.
For a Mdf-hour I watched him, and, though I
looked for'and expected to find them, no sYInP - .
toms could I detect that the mind of the great
leader was taxed by the infinite cares of a tern
bly hazardous military coup de main. Apparent-.
ly, it did nor fits upon his mind the weight of a
trailer. k mail arrived. He tore open the pa
pen; and glanced over them hastily, then chatted
with some -general officers near him, then rode
off with characteristic suddenness, but with fresh
and swilling countenance, filing down the road
beside many thousand men, whose lives were in
his keeping,

UNREASONABLE MURMURS.
Why ei on plain of yon r burdens I Suppose it be
true even to the extent which the eXaggerators
make it, that the war bas imposed upon us heavy
taxes, and rendered the strictest economy neces
sary to meet the enhanced prices of every article
which we have to buy, have ye any reasonable
ground of complaint ? There is to substantial
good obtained without exertion and self-denial,
and no class of men is exempt from labor if they
expect to thrive in their copings. Strength,
health, time, money, are severely taxed by those
who expectto succeed in their various handicrafts.
Why, then;\ should we shrink from the burden,
when some great political evil is to be averted,or
seine signal national good is to be achievedl We
are constituent parts of the nation, with which
our, prosperity and life are bound up ; and it cannot
suffer or triumph without our participating in its
fate. to thought our revolutionary lathers who
freely eipendeil their prpcious blood and trsteP4Ft ,
that they might enjoy the blessings of a free. goy-,
ernment, and transmit this blessing tot it. pros

and the cost of it enormous; and why should not

should have find a shattered' and `disjointed gee

esibility of future stability an peace. Had
Southern insolence been permitted to dominate
and dictate, there would_have been no national
ity_ The unity of the North' would have been
broken. and wasting wars would have been our
future history. In such an event how inconceiv.
ably greater would have been our sacrifices, than
those we are now called to make ! It would have
been a pencument and hopeless tax upon our pro
party, our Comforts and our lives; and the history
of past prosperity would never have been repeat
ed. If welcrce our "natio n—. if we condeinn its
violators—if we cherish ,our dearest righM, and
privileges, we should cease to murmur that we
have to pay for security. We - are involved .in a
frightful war with those who would be our tyran
meal and cruel masters,-and the only alternative
is a base submission or a continued and success
ful opposition. Precious blood has been shed, un
told treasure expended; and if more blood and
treasure are required, let them be freely offered
on our country's altar. To abandon the cause, at
this juncture, would be a stigma affixed to then°. -
ble and brave who have surrendered their lives in
obedience to their country's cull, us wellas an a
bandonment of the country itself, in all that has,
hitherto rendered it illustrious.
We reheat, then, that until the rebels hav,elaid
down their arms, and renewed their allegiance to
the government, it is the duty of all citizens to
sustain, in all lawful ways, and at every arierififti,
the cause of law, liberty and human rightii, in
which we are now engaged.

beautifully defined a Kentucky Copperhead to be
a Mall that "had a double-grained love for the nig

—a nianwho hates the Govertunentbectuulehe loves

who supported Mr: Lincoln's election in ?Stitt,
who do nut favor his re-election in 1864? Not a
single name of any 'consequence can be mention

of new ones, are unanimous in the desire to have
him continued in office. Andrew Johnson, 'Rob

Hiester, Daniel Dougherty; Ulysses S. Grant, and
many others of the,first med.of the country, who
opposed Mr. Lincoln in ISO with all their eau
glee, are now ardent advocates of his election.
Such men do not change without hosts of follow
