Gen. Beauregard has issued an appeal to Geor
gians to rise in arms and expel the invader. He
was expected in Augusta on Wednesday, the 23d.
| The Augusta Chronicle and Sentiael of the 22d
says that large body of troops were on their way
from the west for that place, and would arrive in
few days; and that the Governor of South Carolina
has ordered his militia forces to rendezvous at Ham
burg, opposite Augusta, on the Savannah river TO
act in case of necessity. It further states that
orders received at that place on the night of
the 22d to provide rations for 20, 900 troops.
| Sherman's destination is in doubt nor can it be
said that he will attack any particular place. He
will act according to circumstances in giving or de-
ci:ning battle, but in the meanwhile press steadily
forward to the seacoast Beaufort IIarbor and
Charleston, S. O.. spoken Of as being the points
for which he aims but We think it more probable
that he will attack Savannah. At present he ap-
pears to be marching Augusta; and if so, cannot
be further Than 90 or so miles from that place.
