While the hose now on hand is in good order, they find that abont five hundred feet or more is needed. At the meeting of the council on Thursday night this need was to be discussed but the nonattendance of some members made it impossible to determine on the purchase of it. Considering the number of fires that have been near and around u$ we feel that we have been very fortunate *o far, but should fire occur we would like to feel fully prepared to control it.

At our last writing how mild and pleasant it was, bat changes of all kinds are liable to occur at any time, and we must expect them iccordingly. tjram crops, gardens, etc., are louring aod growing finely, and corn (of which a good acreage is already planted) is rather droopy, owing, I jaess, to the continued cool weather, but of late it seems to improve. Garmers are <:gee-hawins" in every direction and busy planting the old familiar "King Cotton.". Will be always be King, or will some other sovereign step in and take his throne? All this remains to be seen. However we must "roll the wheel," so goes the Did phrase, and plant everything 3dfcable at home, espaciaily as this may be a critical year, in more ways than Dne, with us American people, especially the South. The sooner we become self-sustaining the better for as. So let us be up and doing with "a heart for any fate." Grippe has been and is now still gripping the people of this section. Lt certainly plays havoc wherever if it go?s. Several of our prominent citizens are sick (some convalescent). Among them are, Mrs. C. E. Jones, Rev. J. E. Jones and some others. Oar friend and neighbor, Mr. B. R. Scott, who has bten sick, is now improving fast. Hope to see him out soon.

Some days ago the New York Evening Post sa'id that the methods of Weyler in Cuba were not more criminal than the methods of warfare adopted by Sherman in Georgia and by Sheridan in the Shenandoah Yalley. In a later article the Post suggested that possibly the battleship Maine was blown up by the Cuban patriots, and in still another article, asking " What are we to fight for?" the Post said: "ThA p-rnlnstion of the Maine is a third cause assigned for war. Some Senators and Reprtsentatives say that we should fight Spain because one of our war vessels met with destruction in the harbor of Havana. That is simply to say that ODe of two parties to a controversy is to decide it absolutely, and enforce his conclusion upon the other. Everybody would recognize the outrageous injustice of this course between two individuals, and it would be equally unreasonable and indefensible between two nations. All that we have now is the result of a secret, ex parte investigation by men who have the strongest possible motives to exculpate the officers of an American vessel, their verdict being that the ship was destroyed by a submarine mine, but that 'no evidence had been obtainable fixing the respon ioility for the destruction of the Maine upou any person or persons.'" These several statements of the miserable oltl Mugwump ro*t nave given great offence to some of the jingo newspapers and politicians. The New York Sun, for example, denounces the Post's comparison of Weyler to Sherman and Sheridan as an insult "to the army of the United States," and characterizes the Post's statement about the destruction of the Maine as "an insult to the American nayv even more infamous," and declares that I. Lawrence Godkin, the editor of the Post, "is a worse enemy of the country he disgraces than DeLome. whom he imitates, or than Weyler, whom he admires and defends." Bat the real point is not whether Godkin "imitates" DeLome, or "admires" Weyler, but whether Goikin tells the truth. He ha3 made no charge, as alleged., that Sigsbee and the officers of the Maine court of inquiry "are liars and scoundrels," but that the investigation conducted by the court of inquiry was secret and ex parte, that the court was naturally and unavoidably influenced "by the strongest possible motives to exculpate the officers of an American vessel," and that it is not fair or jast to ask that "one of two parties to a controversy is to decide it absolutely, and enforce his conclusion upon the other." That was all, and even if Godkin is a disgrace to his country, which we Go not feel called upon to deny, and does admire Weyler, as he possibly does in view ot his admiration of Weyler's studies in the American art of war, this does not necessarily affect the force of Godkin's statement. We are not particularly interested, however, in Godkin's socalled infamous insult to the American navy?he can fight that out for himself on the water; but his comparison of Wevler to Sherman and Sheridan shoves that he has not forgotten some of tae leading facts in recent American history. / In "Critical Sketches of Some of the Federal and Confederate Commanders," published by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., of Boston, there is an interesting review of Gen. Sherman's military career by John C. Ropes, one of the fairest and most truthful of Northern historians. Mr. Ropes says that "it would not be right to close a review of Gen. Sherman's character and services without referring to his often announced policy of devastation. It can hardly be doubted that a desire to inflict punishment on the people of the South lor their course in breaking up the Union was a strong element ic favor of his project of marching acrosf the country." To Gen. Grant he telegraphed on October 9, 1864: "Until we can repopulate Georgia, it is uselesf to occupy it; but the uttei destruction of its roads, houses and people will cripple their military resources. ? * i can make the march, and make Georgia howl." To Gen. Schofield, he telegraphed or October 17: "I will make the interior of Georgia , feel the weight of war." * ? - ? ??-.i- ? 1 n. To bren. BeCKWlin oil vyuiuuci ii7. 4'I propose to abandon Atlanta anc the railroad back to Chattanooga, auc sally forth to rain Georgia and brine up on the seashore." To Gen. Hardee, the Confederate commander at Savannah, he wrote: "Should I be forccd to resort to as sault, and the slower and sorer proces; of starvation, I shall then feel justifie( in resorting to the harshest measures and shall make little effort to restrai] my ?.rmy?burning ta avenge a nationa . wrong they attach to Savannah anc other large cities, which have been s< 1 prominent in dragging our conntr; into civil war." To Gen. Grant on December 18, b [ wrote: "With Savannah in our possessioi at some future time if not now, w can pumsn soum uarouua as sue uc I serves, and as thousands of people ii 1 Georgia hoped we would do. I d' . sincerely believe that the whole Unitei States, North and Souih, would re > joice to have this army turned I003 , on South Carolina to devastate tha ; State, in the manner we have done i ' Georgia, and it would have a direc and immediate bearing on your canc 5 paign in Virginia." 2 To Gen. Halleck he wrote on De \ cember24: t "I attach more importance to thea dtep incisions into the enemy's coui > try, because tbi* war differs fror J European wn- > i., this particular. W 1 are not <v ;> lighting hostile a-miei but a Iw&u.o people, and must uiat ^ | old and young, rich and poor, feel tfi r hard hand cf war. as well as the i organized armies. * * The truth j the whole array is is burning with ? r iusatible desire to wreak vengeam upon South Carolina. I almost tremb '' at her fate, but feel that she de*erv< , all that satiable desire to wreak vei 1 geance upon Columbia as quite ?3 bs as Charleston, and I doubt if we sha r spare the public buildings there, as w e did at Miliedgeville." * Mr. Eopes says: P "It seems to us that Gen Sherma in the passages cited above, did enu Q ciate in distinct terms the principle th *" the infliction of such punishment by . general commanding an army is wit ri in his right; that is, that it is pan T tioned by the laws of modern civilizi warfare. If we are correct ip attribc l" ing this position to Sherman, we canc lose the opportunity of pointing c that the authorities are against hii 3. ). ?

"I know one lady, the mother of three children, who suffered greatly in the birth of each, who obtained a bottle of 'Mother's Friend* of me before her fourth confinement, and was relieved quickly and easily. All agree that their labor was shorter and less painful." John G.

In his official report Gen Sherman estimated the entire damage done to the State of Georgia at $100,000,000, of which only $20,000,090 "inured to our advantage," the remainder being! "simple waste and destruction." Mr. Ropes says, and it is worth especial emphasis here, that Sherman's "hold on his army was perfect; there was nothing that the men would not do at his bidding." He destroyed $100,000,000 worth of property in Georgia; he left a track ot desolation in South Carolina; he made "old and yonng, rich and poor, feel the hard hand of war," he turned bis army loose on South Carolina to devastate that State in the manHer we have done in Georgia;" he trembled for the fate of South Carolina, but felt that she deserved all he had in store for her. In saving that Weyler's methods in Cuba were nnf. mi)ra criminal than Sherman's methods on bis "march to the sea," the Evening Post stated a horrible fact in Ihe simplicity of trnth. The comparison of Wevler to Sheridan in the Shenandoah Yal ley was to the prejudice of Weyler. The story of Sheridan's brutality is written in the official reports; What he did not require for the supplv of his army was "simply waste and destruction"? and so thoroughly was his work done that even the crows ha3 to carry their rations with them in flying over the desolated region. The Sherman and Sheridan methods were even more savage than Weyler's. They were at war In their own ceuntry and against the people of their own race and civilization. They ' were fighting against the armies and people of an organized Government, operating under a written constitution, with its executive, legislative and jadicial , departments completely appointed, and with its armies ready always to [ give battle in the open field; a govern. ment which was, in fact, recognized s by the United States in the consideration, at regularly appointed confereni ces, of prepositions for the settlement of the differences between them by the i exchange of prisoners, and in other forms which distinguish the relations of separat? and distinct sovereignties. I We do not apologize for Weyler? I there is nothing to redeem the infamy r of his conduct in Conduct; but in holding him up to the scorn ot history ; we should not forget that his plans foi the subjugation of Cuba were fashioned - npon the models furnished by our b own Sherman and Sheridan.
