GUERILLA WARFARE.

HOW SHERMAN CRUSHED IT

Mr L H Moore, in the London Daily Empress, thus describes General Sherman's stern measures to crash oat the rebellion ab the end of the Ameri can civii war :■ — Sherman stripped.his troops of every thing that was superfluous before leaving Atlanta, taking only eighteen days' rations. The men carried sixty | rounds of ammunition each, while 140 more rounds per man were conveyed in waggons; together with 200 rounds more than ordinary for each gun. For even this modest transport there wera needed no fewer than 40,000 horses and mules, requiring, of course, fodder; The general formed his infantry into four divisions of from 10,000 to 15,000 each, covering a breadth of sixty miles. On either flank, as each in turn happened to be threatened, he moved his eavalryj nearly 6000 strong. This immense *rmy lived entirely off the country through which they marched, tbe Eoldiets helping themselves as they wanted. Sherman's orders on this subject were as follows :—" The army will forage liberally upon the country during the march. As for horses, mules, and waggons, the cavalry and artillery may appropriate them freely and without limit. This instruction was carried ou t to the letter, and the wake of the army wan a track of desolation." General Sherman reported as follows to President Lincoln :— lf I estimate the dacoage done to tbe State of Georgia and its military resources at £20,000,000, at least £4,000,000 of which was ruined to our advantage, and the rest simple waste and destruction. This may seem a hard species of war fare, but it brings the sad realities of ) war home to those who have been direotly and indirectly instrumental in involving us in its attendant calama> ties:" In his final report Sherman said :—" We have traversed the country with an average breadth of forty miles, consuming everything. The public enemy, instead of drawing supplies from that region to feed hit armies, will be compelled to lend provisions from other quarters to feed the inhabitants. The task was accom* plished, Sherman set out with the intention of crippling the resources of the Southland he did it. He reached Ooldsborough at the end of March, 1865, and General Lee surrendered on April 9 following. His method may have been barbarous, bnt all war ii barbarous, and none knew it better than Sherman, who said " War is bell," aod proved it.

Salvation Army Officers' Quarters, Jeßsie Street, Wellington, 15th January, J9OO To Proprietors, " Plantekoa " Remedies. Dear Sirs, — i would Hke to inform you that when I arrived in Wellington, a little over twelve roentha ago. I was terribly ran down in health. For two or three weeks I was unable to take any active part in any meetings. I was com pletely worn onfc, and always had th;<t tired, languid feeling we Imr so much about, and neither aleep nor hod seemed to refresh me, or do me any good. Someone advised me to fcry " PLAJNTE- I KOA," which I did, and after 1 had taken HAIJB 1 TBB CONTENTS OF THE BOTTLE I felt much betcer, and I am delighted to tell you that from that date till the timn of writing this note (over twelve months) I have enjoyed the best of health, and my work is a pleasure. If these few lines are of service to you, make u^e of rht rrs. Yours sincerely, Mrs Captain lock. The testimonial of Mrs Lock should be of interest to Ashbnrton residents, she having spent some considerable time in this district, Before taking * Plantekoa Mrs Lock had tried almost every remedy friends could suggest. The shelves in the scullery of her house were fall of bottles, i boxes, and tins, she remarking ' It's like a chemist's shop.' However, in •PLANTKKOA' ehe found a Sovereign Remedy, and strongly recommends others to try the same. From Chemists and Grocers everywhere. Correspondence Invited.
