market is dull the large Government loan will no
doubt tighten up money matters, and the want Of
margin between the price Of the hog and the pro-

hogs for the present. The best VIC can say Of our

The route which Sherman appears to have
gone Ia down the Central Railroad. This
road connects Macon with Savannah, and is
100 miles in length. Twenty miles below
Macon We come to Gordon, small station oc-
cupied now BY our troops. From here is
branch to 'Milledgesille, distance of come
Is to 50 miles. Milledgcvi1le had 4 population
Of some 5000. 4 fine Gothic State House was
there, but since destroyed VIC learn. At Mid
Way, two miles vest, the Presbyterian Fe-
male Seminary was in full blast before the
var. The town vas noted for Its whisky
shops, gambling houses and reckless popula-
tion. Sherman bus probably made m exam
pie Of this town. Twenty-thrcc or four miles
brings you to another town, CraWfordElle.
On this road Sherman will possibly reach Au-
gusta.
Augusta, next to Savannah, Is the largest
city in the State. It had population Of some
1000 or 1900 bcforc the var. Extensive
cotton aud wooden manufactures we're in full
blast before the rebellion. and it vas large
depot for the storing Of cotton Broad street,
one and quarter miles in length, shaded By
trees, and running parallel with the Savannah
River, is the principal business street. For
merly large steamboat trade centered here,
but The numerous rnilways entering into the
city reduced the river trade. It was the pork
market for Tennessee, Upper Georgia and Up
per Alabama. The U. s. Arsenal {now stolen
by the Confederates) is located at tile Sand
Hllls, two miles from the city, and is used as
q. depot and manufactory Of arms, under
charge ofcol. ". r. Boggs, late Lieutenant of
Ordnance in the U. s. Army. 4 large manu-
factory Of cannon and small arms is in opera
ton here, and large quantities Of ammunition
are turned out. Sherman will turn his atten-
tion to this place.
Having taken Augusta (for We are now
speculatsng) Sherman can return to .alillen
and 70 on to Savannah by the Georgia Cen
tral Railroad. 4 march Of FIVE days will
bring him to Savannah. Even should the
rebels tear up the road, the route Is dry and
easy Of access by q forced march, there being
only one or two streams to cross and small
amount of swamp land.
SavaunnA reached, with the cooperation Of
light draught vessels Of the navy, the city
can be taken. A force can march overland
from Tybee light, sixteen miles below, with
out being much harrasscd-by taking the
Bonayenturc, road. This city is regularly
laid out In squares, and shaded by groves Of
China trecs.. It las several fine public parks
and squares, and contains elegant public and
private residences. It was place Of great
wealth before the war, and its population is
estimated at from Ii, 900 to Is, go inhabitants.
There is not known to be any large force of
rebels in Savannah. The Inhabitants arc
