Gen. Sherman'S Scents.

The pioneers Of Sherman's arrival on the
coast were three Western boys, whose peril
GUS and gallant adventure should live in the
chronicles of the war. A Hilton Head letter
of the date of Dec. 14th says of them:
The naaes of the scouts are Captain vii.
liam Duncan and Myron j. Amick, both OF
the 10th Illinois cavalry, and George w.
Quimby, of a Wisconsin regiment. They are
well known scouts, skillful in their danger
GUS business, and, indeed, have singular
fondness for it. They have long been in that
branch Of the service, and the last is only
one of the many trips filled with thrilling
adventures. .u
The scouts came down the Ogechee river
starting from Kings bridge, on the Cult
Railroad, which had been DESTROYED by our
forces. They had dug out with paddles
They lett Gen. Howara's Corps on the
morning of the 9th That night they slept
on shore, aided by negroes, and at one time
were hid under a house while it was sur
rounded by people who were searching for
them, and swearing their death.
The scouts were all landsmen, and found
some difficulty about tides, but soon under
stood them by experience. On the night of
the 10th they passed a rebel gunbeat but a
fortunate mist concealed them
They had no trouble in getting by Fort
McAllister.
The tide took them directly out to Ossa-
baw Sound where they found no difficulty in
communicating with an Union gunboat.

"a Happy New Year."

Before the iss2e of another number of the
Telegraph, the Old Year ga will have ''shuf-
fed off this mortal coil, and gone to join
the innumerable host of years that shave
gone BEFORE" and we therefore take time
by Tie torelock," to wish ell our patrons and
friends "a Happy New Year" Nor is this
a mere formal meaningless phrase, spoken
because it is the custom. But because we
believe the New Year IS, and is to be, a
most happy one to all loyal and true friends
of the country.
The Old Year that is dying out amid the
cold and glsom of the physical world, sinks
to his rest gloriously and joyously, like the
christian warrior who has fought the good
fight and looks forward through the gloom
of the dark valley, to the land Of promise,
where he already sees the crown that has
been laid up for him, by the ministering
angels. H# ~

ashore by a gunbovt at New Inlet, Cape

Sherman March through Georgia

sAern Rs March through Georgia
We give in this weeks paper an interesting
account of Shernans march through Georgia
from the Cincinnati GaSette twill be seen that
he met with very little opposition, and none of
the reverses that were chronicled by the rebel
press and eagerly copied by their northern
sympathizers. No movement since the com.
nencement of the war, has SO signally demon
strated the weak ness of the rebellion. Here is
one of the largest and richest and most power
full rebel states traversed for over 800 miles
through its very heart, and yet no rebel force
was in position TO obstruct his march. The
Governor, Gen. Beauregard and two or three
members of the bogus Confederate, congress, all
write stirring proclsmati ons calling on the peo>
pie 20 harass the yankees and to destroy every
thing in his line eft march. But proclamation
and orders were alike of no avail The PEG pie,
that is, such as were left in the country. made
no effort to impede the grand march, nor to de.
stroy provisions or stores to prevent them from
falling into the hands of the yankees The only
destruction there was. that by the rebel cavalry
OF which there came sad complaints frem the
people. As sequel TO the grand march comes
the surrender OF Savannah giving Sherman
safe and convenient base GA the s. Z. Atlantic
Coast, from which, to deal mere telling blows to
the dying rebellion.

Gov. Brown Of Georgia gives us the Sc
quel Of SHERMAN's march. He denounces
the robberies, not of the Union army, but
OF squads of deserters from the rebel army,
who are, as he asserts, wandering over the
state, imp essing horses, mules, and provis
ions, without authority, and for their pri
vate use. The Governor authorizes anybody
who can to shoot these marauders, who
number, as he says, "a large part of the
rebel cavalry force" and are scattered
lover nearly half the territory of the state. -
A southern paper reported few days ago
the desertion Of one entire regiment, with a
Colonel at its head.
