It is repre. sented as a regular selution of coutinnity between two great diviuions of the Confederate States. Look, say the makers of alarm and the of humbag allke—look at tbe track of Shefuian Over the map! If he mover from | Chaftancoga to the seacoast be outs the confederacy in halves, and severe every railroad between Virginia and Alabama. He will interpose “a wall of steel” be tween Lee and bis supplies, He has only to take ali the towns az he took Atlanta and have them garrisoved, es- tablish a ‘@bais of poste’’ across the country, and the confederacy will Be strangled in the middie, With such staf can men be amused! Iwo bupdred thousand wen would not be sufficient to establish sucha “chain of posta.” if it eotablished, the whole line wonld be flanked at any given point, and every post “gobbled” by & concentrated force of thirty tbonsand Confederate so). diers, Thos meh for theory, Now for the practical fact. Je Sherman doing or attempting to do any euch thing? So far from that, be obliterates his track bebind with as much eystematic care as ap Indies covers bis war trail. Hie began by completely destroy ing the ratiroad from Chat- tanooya to Atianta—the firet and most necessary \ink in such a ‘chain of posts.” Them he burned Rome, Then he Darned Atlamta, Them he burned Canton. So far from ‘ ‘leaving gatrinoas,”’ his army ‘‘marches in hollow ejueres,” with wagons ia their centre, For supplies it depends on what it can varry, As to communications he ‘bas uone. His government does Rot expect bis news till he reaches the seacoast. In short, this expedition is a gigrotic raid, a fying column, a@ march, not an occupa tion or a conquest. This it is, on its face—paipably— necessarily, What it the use or the renee of talking about ite effects on the confederacy, or on Lee's army, or apy other army.
