The campaign then ar ranged was that Sherman should cut loose from Savannah and Beaufort on the sea, march across South Caroli na to Fayetteville North Carolina, on the Cape Fear, and thus compel the evacuation of Charleston, while Grant would make another attempt on Wilmington. From Fayetteville Sherman was to march to Goldsboro, North Carolina, where the railroad from Newberne, fifty miles off, joins the Weldon and Wilmington Road, and, refreshed with reinforcements, clothes shoes and luxuries, to move on to Raleigh, the Capital of North Carolina thence to Greensboro, where the railroad connects the North Carolina Railroad with the Virginia system, thence to Danville and cut Lee off at Farmville where the railroad from Richmond to Danville and the South crosses the railroad from Petersburg to Bristol, Tennessee, and the Southwest. This programme, carried out, would end the war. So, on February 1, 1864, Sherman started from Savannah and Pocata'igo northward, with four corps of infantry and one division of caval ry of three brigades, with an effective force of 60,000 men, twenty-five hun dred. wagons, with six mules each, and six hundred ambulances, with two mules each. The wagons con tained ammunition for a great battle, forage for seven days, and rations for twenty days, depending for fresh meat on the country. “Goldsboro was four hundred and twenty-five miles off. There was ab solutely no force to oppose him. Hampton and Butler, with two skel eton brigades, were at Columbia. A march of thirty days was before him. The weather was perfect. Cool enough and warm enough to permit men to sleep without tents or cover. The fresh meat and forage needed could have been collected by the commissa ries, impressing them in the ordinary as no necessity fo Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE Railway Assessments at Last. The long awaited assessments of the railroads of the State, about which so much has been said, and against which the railroads made such a fight, have at last been passed upon finally by the State board of equalization of railroads, and made public. Only the bare assessments per mile are given, and no compila tions or comparisons are announced. Therefore it is impossible to give the exact amount of the raise, but by a careful computation from the data given, it Is found that the raise will amount to scarcely less than $21,000, 000 and may be a couple of millions higher. This year there is a much larger number of miles of road being operated in the State, and the total raise is in some measuie due to that, but ths actual raise per mile is very large. The total valuation of proper ty for each road was not given out by the comptroller, and consequently cannot be compared with the figures of last year. The raise, however, is so great as to cause a general belief that the railroads, especially the big ones, vill make a fight before paying such taxes and carry the matter into the courts.' The assessments have not been made on any fixed basis, but that the board has just placed the raises where they sew fit. The board, however, has done its work with the figures. Another Piece of Polly. An important scheme, the object of which is to save the present cotton crop from being sacrificed, has been fermulsted in Columbia, and will at once be pushed throughout this and all the other cotton growing States. Mr. E. M. Stober, a prominent farmer near Columbia, is the author of the plan, which has already received the sanction of leading Alliance officers. It is proposed that trust companies, AYhac We Owe to the Farmer. Prom The Atlanta Constitution. Last fall, when the financial flurry in London caused a depressiou in this country, it wrs admitted in Ntw York that the Southern farmer with his cotton saved the United States from a disastrous panic. And now, after the unprecedented! export of our gold, the Northwestern! farmer with his wheat comes to the- front to draw all this money back, from Europe with hundreds of mil lions more. Already money is becoming easier,, and the outlook is bright. But we owe this not to the Government, nor to anything that it has done to im prove the business situation. All. that we enjoy and all that we hope for in the shape of prosperity we owe- to the farmer with his cotton in the South and his wheat in the North west. If nothing occurs to disappoint our expectations of a good business sea son, the Republican parly will claim that its financial and tarift' policy has brought us a return of good times. But the farmer and the workingman will know better. They will know that thej are prospering not because of existingeconomic conditions forced upon us by the Government, but in spite of them. We are saved from ruin, and will enjoy this touch of flush times this fall simply because the tremendous energies of our farm ers, together with their economy,.— have enabled us to overcome the un favorable conditions of our financial system. Instead of being easily satisfied with the outcome of this season it is in order to consider how much better it would be under an honest tariff with a volume of currency large enough to meets the wants of busi ness. The West and South are pull ing and tugging at Wall Street for money to move their crops, when un-
