ft is evident V eren thpmost casual
observer that the renowned General
William Tecnmseh Sherman, the man
who devastated Georgia and burned
Columb'a, is not easy in hia roiod a to
hh unwarranted, unlicensed and un
called fcr attack on ex-Pre3ident Jef
ferson Davis. Having grossly slan
dered Mr DavH by charging him with
an intention to override States Rights
and a suoie a dictatorship over the
Confederate States, be is desperately in
search ol proofs ot bis assertions. In
Sunday's Herald a long letter Irom
Sherman to Secretnry Lincoln is pub
lished, endeavoring to fortify the posi
tion which he has assumed, and yet be
fails to produce one particle of docu
mentary evidence bearing on the sub
ject. Theauioau of the paper is very
apparent at its close when he ranks
Mr. Davis wi'h Arnold and Burr,
rather than w.th Washington and Lin
coln, and in this Gen. Sherman gives
himself away most effectually.
The ni'Ht wonderful part of the whule
document, however, is the disingenu
ouaness with which Gen. Sherman hiru-
elf proves some of the worst acts ol
andalism which have been charged
againLhim. Heretofore his devasta
ting march through Georgia has been
defended, by some, on the plea of mili
tary necessities ia obtaining supplies
and by others the outrage and robbery
and burning and rapine which
marked his path have been
charged to the bummers who hung upon
bis line of march and followed in bis
footsteps and who, it has been said; it
was impossible for him to restrain, and
yelGeo. Sherman says to Secretary
Lincoln that when at Atlanta he eaused
overtures to be made to Goy. Brown to
the effect that if he. Brown, would re
call the Georgia troops trorn the Con
federate armies and help him io drive
Gen. Hood from the State then he
(Sherman) "instead ol devastating the
land as we progreis, I will keep our
meu to the high roadsand commons,
and pay for the corn and meat we
need." He also speaks, in the same
connection, of "the devastations ot war,
preparing for her" (Georgia).
He also asserts, bat brings no docu
mentary evidence to prove it, that Got.
Vance, "the war Governor of North
Carolina" sent commissioners to him,
when he was in North Carolina, to say
that "he wanted to make terms for the
State1' and afterwards the commission
ers told htm that Vance "was afraid of
Jeff Davis." Fortunately for Gen.
Sherman's reputation for veracity, of
these three commissioners. Got. Swain
and Hon. Wm. A. Graham are dead
and Surgeon General Warren is absent
in Europe, facts of which Got. Sher
man has undoubtedly been fully ad
vised But Gov. Vance is still "to the
fa" find will most likely take care of
himself, as he is abundantly able to do.
But the most singular and foolish
error into which Gen. Sherman has
fallen is indicated, where he says
"Had Georgia withdrawn in 1864 the
Confederacy would have collapsed as a
bubble and Georgia, South Carolina
and North Carolina would have escap
ed the devastation which necessarily
followed."
Now, in the first place, who' could
have withdrawn Georgia Irom the Con"
tederacy? Not Gov. Brown, even if he
had been so disposed, for he was but
the sworn executor of the law; not
the Legislature, for the State was not
withdrawn from the Union by legisla
tive cuactmeut; and not the courts, tor
they had no jurisdiction in the premis
es. Georgia, like all of the Southern
States, seceded in consequence of an
ordinance ot secession, passed by a
convention composed of delegates chos
en by the qualified voters of the State
and these qualified voters, a large ma
jority of them, were in the field
lighting tor their homes and firesides.
To withdraw Georgia from the Confed
eracy would have required the assent
and approval of the soldiers in the field.
Could this have been obtained? The
answer is not hard to determine.
But, say that a constitutional con
vention had been secured, and that the
ordinance of secession had been re"
pealed, could Got. Brown, or could
any other Governor of a Southern
State, have recalled the troops of that
State from the field? Would President
Davis and his Cabinet, or Gen. Lee
and his lieutenants, have allowed them
to leave? Surely not, for the troops
from each State were not in the service
of their respective States, but io that of
the Confederate States, and the volun
teers had all, of their own volition
taken an oath of aenrice for the war.
The
VOL. IX.
All who would have left, or who would
have attempted to leave, would have
properly been classed as deserters.
But we have pursued the subject fur
ther than we had intended. Only,
can but ask one question. If, say for
instance, (Jov. Curtin. the "War Gov
ernor" ot Pennsylvania, or Governor
Morton, the ' War Governor" of Ohio,
hal undertaken to do as Gen. Sherman
wanted Gov. Brown to do, withdraw
the State- troops from the field, what
would have been the result? Why.
Secretary Stanton's little bell would
have tinkled, and in less than twenty
four hours afterwards the offending ex
ecutive woutd have been provided with
comfortable quarters in Fort Delaware
