FROM GEN. SHERMAN
THE WAR IN GEoRGIA-TRIUMP
ANT PROGRESS OF THE GRAND
ENPEnlTION.


Richmond papers Of the Gath, received Sun.
day, are mum about Sherman and his progress
in Georgia, both In the way of kilograms aud
editorial. Either they are completely In the
dark themselves, or are trying to keep their
readers 90.
1t may be that the telegraphic wires arc
down through the South, In consequence OF the
heavy rains there; and II Is known that Shcr.
man has cut more or less of them, 80 that 1t is
possible that the Richmond papers are really
as ignorant as they profess. At any rate, we
may be certain they have no good news to Ger
their readers, a fact which shows that no sue
cessful resistance has been made to Sherman S
progress, so far as known In Richmond up TO
Thursday.
