The Dragounade of South Carolina—
Intentions to Destroy Charleston.
Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, one of
the ablest and most gallant brigadiers
which “the Maryland Line” furnish
ed the Confederacy, has in press a val
uable contribution to t^e history of
the war entitled: “A Memoir of the
Life and Public Servljce of Joseph
£. Johnston formerly the Quartermas
ter General of the Army of the Uni
ted States, and a General in the Ar
my of the Confederate States of
America, by Bradley Jf. Johnson, a
soldier of the Army ^Ptorthern Vir
ginia.” V
One chapter of the book has as a
heading “The Dragonnade of South
Carolina,” and contains a most inter
esting review of Sherman’s march
through this State and the sack of
Columbia. Gen. Jobmson criticises
and denounces Sberrlan’s barbarity.

“While these events were transpir
ing in Georgia Thomas and Schofield
had destroyed Hood’s army at Nash
ville and Franklyn, and Grant at once
ordered Schofield, with his 23d corps,
by rail to Annapolis, thence to be
transported by sea to Newberne, North
Carolina. 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

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-
