THE NEW YEAR.
A HAPPY NEW YEAR! There are few faithful American citizens who can doubt that the new year will be a happy one, because it will see the virtual overthrow of the rebellion against the principle of free popular constitutional government; the restoration of the Union, and the destruction of the only present cause of national danger.
This is the moment of the year when men examine their moral, social, and financial accounts; when they form go
legends of the region. So the resolute, simplehearted man makes his way to the sea-board; interests the friends of Arctic research; finally procures two vessels and a convenient boat, and sails for Greenland. He pushes further on into the icy kingdom of the Esquimaux, with whom he domesticates himself after one of his vessels and his convenient boat are destroyed by a storm. Regarding his residence merely as preparatory, he devoted himself to learning the language and the life of the inhabitant

SHERMAN'S MARCH THROUGH GEORGIA.
GOVERNOR'S MANSION, MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA.
WE devote a large portion of our present Number to the graphic and interesting illustrations of General Sherman's march through Georgia, which we have received from our special artist, Mr. Theodore R. Davis. Such a military event has not occurred in history since Napoleon's celebrated but ill-omened march from Warsaw to Moscow in 1812. That adventure resulted in the destruction of a noble army, not by the force of the
At Marietta, November 13, General Sherman reviewed Kilpatrick's cavalry division, which had been organized to accompany the grand expedition. Our artist sends us a spirited sketch of the scene, taken at the moment when General Kilpatrick, riding at the head of the whole column, came up to where General Sherman with his staff was waiting for the troops to pass in review. Saluting the latter, General Kilpatrick then took position on his right and the long column rode slowly by, each squadron in i
amiable and satisfied on all occasions as though I believed myself to be the most cherished inmate of the household. That this meanness of mine should provoke their contempt, I had hardly a right to complain of. Nor did I. I accepted this like the rest of their hospitality, and smiled contentedly as the days went on. The gloom which had oppressed me on my first arrival in England had all betaken itself away. How could I feel otherwise than supremely happy at finding myself thus surrounded by my

A FAREWELL TO THE OLD YEAR.
Come, gather round the glowing hearth
While swift the moments fly,
The hour which gives the New Year birth
On Time's swift wing draws nigh;
So gather here, with song and cheer
We bid the dear, the gray Old Year,
Our friend so long, good-by.
He leaves us soon, he may not stay,
Ere dawn he needs must go;
He hath been with us on the way
For many months, I know,
When skies were clear, when storms were near,
Through hope and fear, the brave Old Year,
In rain and wind and
when the last hope of it failed? He read the doubt and perplexity at once.
"Let me explain," he said. "Your brother was looking expectantly for a draft from the North when I went away from here. I wrote to him, if it failed, that I knew of a person who would be glad to take good Northern securities for a small sum of money like this. It did fail, and he accepted the offer."
"And the securities, Mr. Hamilton?"
"A mortgage of Manhattan Bank stock double the amount."
"I will not inquire who was ge
THE CAPTURE OF SAVANNAH.
REVIEW OF KILPATRICK'S CAVALRY DIVISION BY GENERAL SHERMAN, AT MARIETTA, GEORGIA, November 13, 1864.
We give on the next page two illustrations of General Sherman's Army in front of Savannah. One of these represents General Sherman and his Staff, and is reproduced from a photograph by Mr. George W. Barnard, to whom we are indebted for the graphic sketches of the Prison-pen at Millen, published on page 13. The other sketch illustrates the capture of the rebel steamer Res

"IS ALL DEM YANKEES DAT'S PASSING?"
One of the most amusing as well as most striking features of Sherman's march through Georgia was the amazement of the people, black and white, of the hitherto unvisited regions through which the army passed, numbers of the "Yankees." Our Artist sends us a portrait from life of one of the "colored who watched, hour after hour, the endless column of Blue-Coats cheerily filing by the plantation, from , she was never ten miles in her life, and finally broke out
