Is uisnly prub,.bie that will be Sherman's S
line Of mach.
Third-Beaufort is already in our pos
session. We have an abundance of ship
ping, and supplies there, and our men,
will need the latter, after their long
march land therefore it is highly proba-
BILE that Beaufort will be the new base of
General Sherman.
Nevertheless, circumstances may IN
tervene to change the policy indicated
above; but l believe that the general now
intends to reach Beaufort, but not until
he has completely isolated both Savannah
and Charleston.
The present movement will be produc-
tive of the most important results Both
Macon and Augusta arc manufacturing
towns. In one of his speeches, during
his late tour, JEFF. Davis declared that
the latter place alone supplied powder
enough for the whole Contederacy. But
it is in respect to cOmmunicalons tat
the greatest advantages are to be derived.
The army of Hood will be completely Is
olated ; his army will be thoroughly sep
arated from that Of Lee as are the forces
west of the Mississippi river. Savannah
will be no longer valuable as ablock-
ade running port. Charleston will be
cut off, and Sherman's army of fifty
five thousand men will be free to act as
circumstances demand, and will be on
the seacoast, ready for embarkation at a
moments notice, so that they can be
used with Grant or Sheridan, as may be
most advantageous or, after recruiting,
they may bc moved through central
South and North Carolina, utterly ami
hilating every railroad by the way, and
thus making Virginia the grave of the
rebellion.
Can Sherman subsist? Undoubtedly
he can. There are two articles IN the
South in abundance-corn and SWEET po-
tatoes and he takes with him any
amount of hard tack and several thous-
and cattle. His men Will live better than
when in camp.

PROGRESS OF sHERMAN's ARMY.

PROGRESS OF SHERMANs ARMY.
From the Savannah News, Nov. 49,
We have authentic information that
the enemy mas appeared before Macon,
and another raiding party has come down
probably from Covington, on the track of
the Stoneman raid, and had reached the
little town OF Wallace, in Jones county,
few miles north of the AIjlledgeville
and Gordon railroad, last night or early
this morning. 1t is reported that this
party has burned Monticello, the county
seat of Jasper county, and the little town
of Hillsboro, in the south of that coun-
ty. No doubt they aIe aiming to strike
the railroad at Gordon, and thus stop the
passage of the cars over the Central or
the Milledgeville roads, and perhaps pro-
ceed ON to camp Iawton to release the
Federal prisoners, or to do general dam
age in that direction.
We have also reports, apparently au-
thentic, that the enemy made an attack
yesterday upon Forsyth, in Monroe coun-
ty, on the Macon and Western railroad,
and were signally repulsed. We learn
Macon, and that a number OF women and
children are leaving. 1t is evident from
the appearance of the enemy at all these
points, it is only cavalry raid, aiming to
sulke and destroy all the railroad COM
munications to Macon before the main
army approaches, and perhaps to venture
farther in the direction OF this city or
Augusta and do as much mischief as pos
sible. 1t is believed that the force at Ma
con and Milledgeville lii ample to protect
those places at present Whether the
main army of Sherman will ever get thai
tar down is Il matter We cannot venture
an opinion upon.
Since writing the foregoing we have
received private despatch from Macon,
showing that up to this writing lhali-pist
one, p. m.) the enemy had not struck the
road. The despatch says that no trains
would leave Macon to-day for this place.
P. S--Three p. M.-lhe telegraph is
still working to Macon from which we
conclude, the enemy have not struck the
Central road at any point.
From the Savannah News, Nov. 2l.l
Our latest and most reliable adyices are
that the enemy was in force i'll the vlcln-
ity of Monroe and Jones counties, and
considerable body had crossed the Dc
mulgee river at Painters Factory, seven
miles West of Indian Springs, taking

at least one hundred and fifty millions

SHERMAN.
WASHINGTON, Nov. %, 1861
Adyices received here to-day from Gen.
Sherman's army show that he was, on the
18th il St, within thirty miles of Macon;
and il is believed that by this time he
has possession of the place. He has thus
far met with but little opposlhon, ana
his campaign IS progressing with all the
success that could be desired.
From the Washington Republican,
Nov. r.
Reports from Richmond are to the ef-
feet that General Sherman's grand ad-
vance movement into the heart OF rebel
dom is producing panic.
A despatch from General Rawlings, at
General Grants headquarters, City Point,
giving the substance of news In the Rich
mond papers of recent date confirms
the report. i,
We can assure the rebels of Richmond
and elsewhere that what they will soon
discover, if they have not done so al
ready. 900,
Nearly two weeks have elapsed sliee
direct information was received from
General Sherman>himseE. The Govern
ment has no intelligence OF his recent
movements later than that contained In
the Richmond papers of last Friday
General Sherman at least month ago
informed the proper authority at Wash
ington of his plans, which, judging by the
rebel accounts, have thus far been car
ried into effect with a bright promise Of
success throughout his campaign.
NASHVILLE, Nov. Is. 1864.
The plan Of moving through Georgia
originated with General Sherman, and
no one else and having matured 1t, ne
submitted it to the Secretary OF War,
who approved it by giving the General
unlimited powers in the premises. de
takes with him the following forces =
Fourteenth corps, Fifteenth corps, Sew
enteenth corps, Twentieth corps, eight
thousand cavalry and one hundl ed and
twenty-five pieces of artillery, making
total of fifty thousand to sixty Thousand
men.
His force is amply sufficient for any
purpose. The rebels have about three
sho;isand men at Savannah, and about
the same number at Charleston, besides
militia. who are Of little value; and there
are no others to meet him without weak
enine Lee, as Hood could not overtake
him If he were to try to do so, and be-
side, that individual has enough to 90 TO
take care of himself, with Thomas watch
ing him.
Sherman will move to the eastward, In
two columns one will go by way OF Ma
con. and the other direct to Augusta, and
a concentration will be effected at the
