GENERAL sHBRMAU's EXPEDITION

The Rebel Force in Savannah.
a The Rebel force in Savannah is under the com
mand of Lieutenant General IIardec, with Major
/, General Dick Taylor, of the Confederate army;
Major. General Gustavus w. Smith, fthc Georgia
Militia, as his subordinaies. Major Gen. McLaws,
formerly division commander in Longstreet's
Corps of Lees army, but relieved because Of a
( difficulty with Longstrect in the East Tennessee
campaign Of last year, commands the post Of
Savannah. Brigadicr General N erCor, of the Con-
federate army, commands Fort Jackson, the
strongest work on the Savannah river, excepting
Fort Pulaski. There are not many regular troops
in Savannah.
I They are mostly militia, every citizen capable
Of bearing arms having been put in the ranks.
\ Among the troops there are the lst Georgia Rcgu-
l2ars, the 47lh Georgia Volunteers, the 53th Geor
gia Volunteers, several regiments of what are
called the Georgia State Line" and two or three
brigades Of militia. Oh the ID instant after the
battle of Honey Hill, on the Charleston Railroad
General Hardce ordered a portion of the Rebel
/, force there, consisting Of one brigade of militia
and two regiments OF the Estate Line under
Gustavus Smith, to reinforce Savannah at once.
Beauregard may also be added TO our prospcc-
tive captures at Savannah. On the 7th instant he
arrived at Charleston from Augusta, and pro-
Ceeded to the scene ofhostilies ut CoOsawatche,
on the Savannah Railroad, since which he has
, not been heard from. As General Sherman was
TO summon the city to surrender on the 10TH and
If not complied with, 10 open his batteries at once,
we may hourly expect to hear Of a capituaton
or an attack. One thing is certain, Savannah,
I with its garrison and its twenty-five thousand
inhabitants, cannot DO reinforced or supplied,
. either by rail or water. 1t must speedily fall.
The Track of the Army.
In order to show the extent of country ira
yersed by General Sherman, and TO give an idea
of how terribly his army made itself felt upon
are depended upon to feed the Rebel army, we
give a list of the counties through which the
army marched, and in which it foraged and OBJ
4 tanned large numbers OF able-bOdied blacks
mules, and horses. That these acCumulations
were very large, is amply proven by General
Sherman's despatch, which says his first busi-
ness will be TO get rid of "the surplus negroes
mules, and horses, they being an actual incum,
