flow _Much of the Southern Territory
has bet.n Regained I
From the Boston Conner]
This question cail be .better answered by
consulting a map of the United States,b
Lloyd, the great _map Publishet of New York,
in -which the prOgrese made. by the Union
rnies in the territories of the Confederates
is clearly and truthfully mapped out. This
map, the correctness- of which is attested by
--
General Grant afig Secretary Welles. shows
that the Southern authorities, th-day hold as
niuch territory as they did two years age. --
The progre,ss of Our armies is marked as,
clearly as a liver, ; all the battle „fields are
laid down, all the forts. The 'course of
Sherman's army and his captures Jan be
traced with exactness, and the map dieloses
the fact that intaain,„0. Atlanta, we hold only
territory corresponding almost literally to
the -width of the railroad traCk exteudIng to
it; that taking it we lost; most all tile
territory which we had-, taken in Leuisianal.
Arkansas and MissOuri. The Map also shows
thakwe hold no More territory in .Virsinia
than we did in 1862. It is an instructive
and profoundly interesting study to trace
upon the map the marches' of our arinies ; to
pause Over fields bapuzed in blood; to reckOr
up the v tst number of those fields; the dead
and wounded who have fallen, Upon them,
and the treasure that has been ,expeaded in
eetichieg them, " And then to reflect that,
'alter all -these years of toil and. Sacrifice, of
auffering and blood, we have made no gains.
in the enemy's territory, fills one with sad-
ness, and the costly expenditures have pro-
duced no more valuable results. •- - '
