sHERNAN's POSITION.

The Republican, of November Both, con-
tains no talegraphic news from any quar-
ter. The following are editorials on the
situation: s
Reliable advices, received yesterday, in
dictate that Sherman has made little or no
progress, with the main body of the army
for the last two or three days. He is still
on the railroad some dista nee beyond
Millen, apparently replenishing his army
for the journey before it. His men and
animals must be desperately jaded by this
time, and but little prepared for trials to
come .'z
We stin believe that his intention Is to
reach the coast if possible, by that route
which presents the least danger of fight.
There was no enemy between there and
Millen yesterday. And although party
of Sherman's cavalry had been nesr the
latter place. everything remained IN
touched. a4
ANoTHER FIGHT.
Another fight is reported between
Wheeler and KIpatrick, on Monday, with
the usual result, the latter being decently
thrszhed and driven bslc3z m Lne direction
of jeff
TROOPS LANDING. ...
1t is reliably reported that force of
about one thousand men landed yesterday
forenoon from the Yankee AeeJ at Boyd's
Landing, on Broad River, In South Caro-
lima, some eight miles from the Savannah
and Charles Railroad. a
s A portion ofthis command approached
the railroad later in the day, but subse-
quently retired.
Preparations, believed to be ample, have
been made to meet them should they at
tempt to cut the railroad, which it was be-
ieved they would do last night.
We still believe Sherman has no serious
thoughts of encountering Savannah with
his jaded columns, but VIII attempt to
make his way to the coast by the most
practicable route. Hawill find it difficult
to strike one that has not lion in his
path. Our military authorities, We are
glad to see, are acting on sound principles.
Pursuant to resolution of the General
Assembly, Governor Brown, upon leaving
Milledgeville, made proposition to the
convicts in the penitentIary of pardon if
they would volunteer and prove themselves
good soldiers. Nearly all volunteered,
but few of the notoriously bad were re-
jeeted. The company organized Is one
hundred strong, and the celebrated DR..
Roberts has been elected captain.
ORDERED TO TAKE COMMAND.
General Taylor is in Savannah, and has
been ordered to take temporary command
of all Confederate reserves in Alabama
and Goo-sis

been turned over to the Cofederate services.
