Hood versus Sherman. I
Sherman, who, says the Carolinian, like
his prototype and exemplar, Beast Batler,
seems to be decidedly affected with the
cacoethes scribendi, wrote a letter in answer
to General Hood's indignant protest against
the wholesale banishment of th^ non-combatant
population in Atlanta. In his reply,
General Hood effectually disposes of the
impudent falsehoods and shallow sophistries
by which this new Hajnau undertakes to
defend this crowning Yankee infamy:
Headquarters Army op Tennessee,
September 12,4864.Major-General
W. T. Sherman, com'
- manding Military Division of the Mississippi.
T
General : I have the honor to aoknowl
edge the reoeipt of yoar letter of the 9 th
instant, with its enclosures, in reference to'
the women, children and others whom yon
have thought proper to expel from their
homes in the city of Atlanta. Had yon
seen proper to let the matter rest tWe, I
would gladly have allowed your letter to
close this correspondence, and without your
expressing it in words, would have been
willing to believe that whilst ^the interest
of the ^mtod States/' in your opinion,
compelled you to an act of barbarous cruelty,
you regretted the neoessity, and we wonld
have dropped the subjeot. But you have
chosen to indulge in statements which I
feel compelled to notice, at least so far as to
signify my dissent, and not allow silcnc^in
regard to jthem tp be construed as acquiescence.
I see nothing in your communication
which induoes me to modify the language
of condemnation with which I characterised
your order. It but strengthens
me in the opinion^that it stands "pre-eminent
in the darfc history of war, for studied
and ingenins cruelty." Your original order
was stripped of all pretences; you announced
tlje edict for the sole reason that it was.
"to; the interest of the United States."?
This alone you offered to us and the civilized
world as an all sufficient reason for disregarding
tho laws of God and man. You
say that "General Johnson himself very
wisely and properly removed the families
all the way from D<on down." It is due
to that gallant soldier and gentleman to say
that no aot of his distinguished career gives
the least color to your unfounded aspersion
upon his oondnct. Ho depopul^ed no vil
iagee, nor towns, nor cities, eitner inenaiy
or hostile. He offered and extended friendly
aid to his unfortunate fellow-citizens who
desired to flee fromyour fraternal embraoes.
You are equally unfortunate in your attempt
to-find a justification for this aot of oruelty
either in the defence of Jonesboro by Gen
Hardee, or of Atlanta, by myself. General
Hardee defended his position?in front of
Jonedboro at the expense of injury to the
houses, an ordinary, proper and justifiable
aot of war. I defended Atlanta at the same
risk and cost.
If there was any fault in either cade, it
was your own, in not giving notice, espcpecially
in the case of Atlanta, of your-purpose
to shell the town, which is usual in
war among civilized nations. No inhabitant
of either town was expelled from his
home and fireside by the order of either
General Hardeo or myself, and therefore,
your recent order can find no support from
jhe conduct of either of us. I felt no other
emotion than pain, in reading that potion
of yonr letter which attempts to justify
your shelling Atlanta without notice, under
the pretence that I defended Atlanta upon
a line bo oloee to town, that every cannon
shot .and many musket balls from your line '
of investment overshot their mark, and went 1
into the habitations of women and children. 1
I made no complaint of your firing into Atlanta,
in any way you thought proper. I I
make none now, but there are an hundred <
thousand living witnesses that you fired into '
the habitations of women and children for ;
weeks, tiring far above and miles beyond my i
line of defence. I have too good an opinion i
founded both upon observation and experience,
of the skill of your artillerists, to
credit the insinuation that thoy for several
weeks unintentionally fired too high for my
modest field works, and slaughtered women
and children by accident and want of skill.
The residue of your letter is rather disoursive.
It opens a wide field for the die- (
cussion of questions'which I do'not feel are
committed to me. I am only a general of |
one of the armies of the Confederate States,
charged with military operations in the field,
under the direction of snperior -officers,
and I am not called upon, to disoj&fcwith you
the 'causes of the present war, orffie politir ,
cal questions which led to or resulted from
it. These gravo and important questions
have been committed to far abler hands
than mine, and I shall only refer to them so
far as to repel any unjust conclusion whioh
might bo drawn from my silencj%&
You oharge my country with "daring and i
badgering you to battle." The truth is, we
sent commissioners to you respectfully offering
a peaceful separation before the first gun i
was fired on either side. You say we in*
suited your flag. The truth is, we fired
upon it and those who fought under it when
you came to our doors upon the mission of
subjugation. You say we seized upon your
forts and arsenals, and made prisoners of the
garrisons sent to protect us against negroes
ahd Indians. The truth is, we expelled byforce
of arms insolent intruders, aod took
possession of our own forts and arsenals to
resist oar olaim to dominion over masters,
slaves and Indians, all of whom areJo this
day with unanimity unexampled in the history
of the world, warring against your at
tempts to become thoir masters. You saythat
we tried to forco Missouri and Kentucky
into rebellion in spite of themselves.
The truth is, my Government, from the beginning
of this straggle to this hoar, has
again and again offered before the world to :
leave it to the unbiassed will of these State3 <
and all others to determine for themselves
whether they will cast their destiny with i
your Government or ours, and your Govern* ;
mont has resisted this fundamental principle
of free institutions with the bayonet, and
labors daily by force and fraud to fasten itc
hateful tyranny upon the unfortunate, freemen
of thesd States. You say we falsified
the vote of Louisiana. The truth is, Louisiana
not only' separated herself from yam
Government by nearly arnaanimous vote oi
her people, but has vindicated the act upon
every battle-field front Gettysburg to the
Sabine, and has exhibited a heroic devotion
to her deoision .whick challenges the admiration
and respect of every man* capable oi
feeling empathy for the oppressed Or admiration
for heroic valor. You say we turned
| loose pirates to plunder your unarmed ships.
| The truth is, when yon rbbbed ug of oar
part of the navyj' we built and .bought a few
vessels, hoisted'the flag of our country, and
swept the seas In defiance 6f yohrnavy around
the whole cireumferenoe of the globe.
Ypu say we have expelled Union families
by thousands. The truth is, not a single
family has been expelled frCm the Confederate
States, that I am aware of, but on the
contrary, the Moderation of our Government
towards traitors has been a fruitfuftheme of
'denunciation by its enemies, and well meaning
friends of our cause. You say my Government
by acts of Congress has confiscated
"all debts due Northern ntfenfor^oods sold
and delivered." _ The trutlfis, our Congress
gave due and femple time to your merchants
and traders to depart from our shores with
their ships, goods and effects, and-onl^sequpstrated
the property of our.enemies in
retaliation#for their acts deolaring us traitors
and confiscating our property wherever their
power emended either in their oountry or
our own. Such ar& your aocusations, and
such are the faots known of all men to be
true. . r . %You
order into exile the whole population
of a city, drive men, women and children
from their homes at the point of the bayonet
under the plea tljat it is to the interest of
your Government, and on the olaim that
this is an.aot of "kindness to these people
of Atlanta." Butler only banished from
New Orleans, tho registered enemies offbis
Government, and acknowledged that he did
it as a punishment. You issue a sweeping
edict covering an cue ranaoitants or a city
and add insult to the injury heaped upon
the defenceless by assuming that you have
done'them a kindness. This, you follow by
the assertioti that you will "make as much
sacrifice *for the peace and honor of the
South as the best born Southron." And
because I characterize what you oall kindness
as being real cruelty, you presume to
sit in judgment between me and my God,
and you deeide that my earnest prayer to the
Almighty Father to save our women and
ohildren from what you call kindheBS is a
"sacrilegious, hypocritical appeal."
You come into our country with your array
avowedly for the purpose of subjugating
free white men, women and children; and
not only intend to rule over them, but you
make negroes your allies and desire to place
over us an inferior race, wbioh we haye
raised from barbarism to its present position,
which is the highest ever attained 'by that
race in any country in all time. I must,
therefore, decline to aooept your statements
in reference to your kindness towards the
people of Atlanta, and your willingness to
sacrifice everything for the peace and honor
of the South, and refuse to be governed by
your decision in regard to matters between
myself, my country, and my God. ,
You say, "let us fight it out 'like men."
To fhia mv.renlv in. for mvnolf. and. T he-*
lieve, for all trae men, aye and women and
children, in my oonntry, we will fight^ou
to the death. Better die a thousand deaths
than to submit to live under you or your
Government, and your negro allies.
Having answered the points forced upon
me by your letter of the 9th September, I
close this correspondence with you, and notwithstanding
your comments upon my appeal
to God in the cause of humanity, I
again invoke His Almighty aid in defence
of justice and right.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
"(Signed) ,J. B. HOOD, Generab

Good Advice from a Soldier.?There
are men at home who have managed to keep
out of the army by skulking about" from
placo to place, and presenting papers of exemption,
and laying in complaints to the
Medical Examining iloarda, &o. They
havo recently gotten to be a great pest to our
wives, whom we have beeu compelled to
leave at homo unprotected from the insults
and thefts of this class. Now, to speak my
Opinion on thersubject, I think if the Enrolling
Officers of our District and State
were a little more vigilant in enforoing the
Consciipt Act, that our ranks would'toot
only become fuller and stronger, but our
wives at home would be freed from being
subject to many disturbances, to which they
are now exposed. I hope the patriotio citizens
of cur Distriot will take it into consideration
and see if there is not something
they can do to force them into the service,
remembering that it is for the protection of
our families that we are in, the field". Now
we hope that this claBS of skulkers will no
longer be suffered to remain at home and
scout about at night and affright our wives
and rob their ben roosts, &o. They had as
well be robbed by the Yankees at once, as
by this^lassof tories.

This raid'of General Hampton's is one pf -t
the boldest and mo&t'brilliknt things of the c
war. Leaving Ream's Station on the Wei- ](

passed behind Grant and took his beeves b

We are informed that General "Hampton f(
started for a point on Jam$s River, South e
of City Point, where'he had learned the h
cattle were on pasture^but 'ifbife on the $
march he intercepted a letter addressed to e
Grant which contained the information that j(
the oattle had been removed to Sycamore tl
Church. The letter also assured Grant tbat b
the beeves were of very supetior quality,
and expressed apprehensions 'that the gra- f,
zing in Prinoe George would be found in- Bj
sufficient. General Hampton changed his n

Reduction of Prices. oj
Editors Charleston Courier :?Yesterday,
September 5th, being sale day, we were
induced to pay a visit to the good village of
Spartanburg. A very fair representation of
the farming and other interests of tfce-Dis- ^
trict were there assembled; ahd after the
few pnblio sales were completed, they, as it
seemed, simultaneously, (for we heard no ^
previous public notice or pall)1) assembled in \
the Court House to take into consideration ei
the high prices rolfnj^iu the oountry,' and u
adopt measures for their' redaction. The ^
meeting was organized by calling the Pres- ^
ident of a yarn factory to the ohair. A
President of an iron rolling oompany ex- p:
plained its object, and a farmer introduced el
the resolutions. . ' a<

earnestness. The farmers required only that ni
every branch, of trade and manufactures to
should'reduce their prices proportionably gi
with theirs, and this was cheerfully accord- di
ed by their different representatives on the pi
flhor. Eesolutions were unanimously adopt- ta
ed appointing delegatcs-to meet at an early to
day, at Columbia, other delegates from the Si
different Election Districts of the State, to fo
adopt measures for a general reduction of, se
prices. ' * ~ fo
The meeting was addressed by such men ^
as Simpson Bobo, GabrieBCannon, Colonel P1
Evans, Prof. Carlyle^ Reverend Whitefoord M
Smith, Dr. Boyd, and Gen. Foster. Sev
eral of those gentlemen have lest sons in this 1D
war?one within the month. One^ of these
speakers said that the fall of Atlanta, the 01

alone can and will carry them successfully di

that the sacrifice of wife, ohildren, friends ^
and all else,'would not induce him to doubt ^
this war had been righteously undertakenr *?
and should be prosecuted to the bitter end; 8D
and all were for struggling on to the last di
dollar and the last man. U]
These sentiments met with a warm response
from the crowd. Spartanburg has
led off nobly in response to the move in Vir- dt
