From tho Savannah News, Nov. l9I
tho Yankee which We publish to day, 10 conuec.
ton with information otherwise obtained, seems to be
conclusive that Sherman u making bold movement oo
Nsoon with . large army having left Thomas In Ten
oossee TO check any movements which Hood may make
on Sherman's rear What progress he Is making with
his movement we know not .: this hour.
We have authentic Information that the susn,y has
peared before Adcon and that another radng party has
down probably from Covingtou-on tho track Of
she Stoneman raid and had reached the little OF
Wallace In Jones county, few miles north Of the Mil
icdgevils and Gordon Railroad, last night early this
morning. Is reported that this party has burned Mon
tcelo the county site OF Jasper county and the little
Gown OF Hsbsro 10 the south OF that county No doubt
they aiming 70 strike the railroad at Gordon, and
Aus asp the passage Of the either tho Central
Ae kledoeviIe rodds, and perhaps proceed 10 Camp
Ldsson u release the federal prisoners, or do general
damage In that direction.
We have also reports, apparently authentic that the
enemy yesterday made attack upon Forsyth In Mon
county tho Macon and Western Railroad and
signally repulsed.
We learn that . good deal OF excitement exists in
Macon and that . number Of women and children are
leaving.
II Is evident from the appearance OF tho enemy Al all
these points, that IL is oaiy cavalry raid, aiming TO
strike and destroy all the railroad Communications 10
Macon before the main army approaches and perhaps TO
venture farther the direction this city Augusta
and DO much mischief possible.
IL Ia believed that the force at Macon and Medgevilh
\ ample TO protect those places for the present whehe,
che main army OF Sherman win get that far down
