CHANGE OF POSITION IN GEORGIA.
! The Macon "Confederate" of the 2lst says :
| L. is now no longer Bcores that our army
has changed its position, and is entrerched on
tho Montgomery aud West Point road. There
is 60 .oaaon why this, movement should exotic
the fehrs and doubts 0I the people OF this SEQ
| ton Of couniry, or cause the weak-kneed to
| become more trimniuus than u5ra!.
Bsf0ro the evacuation Of Atlanta, Macon
ana tho surrounding country were moro or less
| exposed, as WIS proven by the Stoneman OK
| petition, to raids from the eneray. CJnoentra-
| ting their cavalry at Eight and moving noise.
lessly around either flank CT Our army, tho
enemy could get many hours start of our cav
alty, aud commit numberlesS Gopredasions be-
fura they could be oyertaken. AS we were
c5nstautly liable to these marauding e1pedi-
| tions, it became imperatively necessary that
| local organic atoms should be formed 10 resist
| and hold in check the forces Of the enemy,
| until cur cavalry sJuld hasten to the scene of
hostilities The necessity Of these local Or
! ganzstions, und their good effect, were we'll
illustra:cd in tho Stoneman raid. The de-
terminod resistance offered by them to tho ad-
| vance Of tho enemy enabled our cavalry to
L al A.
to fight LLeir whole force.
BY the removal Of cur army to the West
Point road, Macon is nj mere exposed to raids
than before. It will st:il be liable to such in
cursions as the enemy haze the enterprise and
! bolinees to undertake, and will still 10 en-
| absd to protect heroelf as she has hitherto
d5ns.
| The present position Of cur army prscludes,
| we think, The probability Of Sherman's d forces
! attem pting move in this direction Sinuld
| they essay go hazardous al undertaking, their
! tlnk and rear would be OK posed tu immediate
attack by our army, and the result, with such
IN advantage ia our favor, could hardly be
doubtful.
IF any one will examine the map, they will
| perceive sh5t. in the present position OF the
two armies Macon is better protected than
| when our forces wore at Jonesboro.
The fact, which wo consdcr reliable, that
tho enemy aro entirely without meat, and
their draft aair,als perishing by hundreds for
want Of corn and forage, will render any lmme-
diate move on their part impossible. Wethink
the cold wcmen Of both sexes" in Macon may
! sleep in peace. l,Yt courage be restored to
their hearts and The sily,s spoons to their ia.
blcs. Macon IS certainly cafe fycm the Yum
KEGS for the rreeant.
