sHERMAN'S EXPEDITION.

SnERHAN MOVING DOWN THE oGEoHEE RIVER
-THB ENEMY RESIST THE PASSAGE OF THE
BTRBAH.
From The Richmond Dispatch, Detc1a5erl0.
The news from Georgia yesterday was Of
somewhat exciting character. The enemy, who
had been marching down the Ogochee river with
K three corps-One corps on the north and two on
the south side-endeayored to mise their forces
nearly opposite -, but met with considerable
resistance from the Confederate torces and at
last accounts had not effected tbei. object, which
was also prevented, in part, by the unlavorablo-
mess of the river approaches.
On Wednesday the demonstrations Of the
NFedeTals on the ferries, on the NarIuu all river,
became more determined, and they managed tO
get some of their infantry across the flats Withil
sight of the river. Here we were well prepared
and our artillGrists did good work. 1t was sup.
&posed that they would DC comp slled TO abandon
8tne attempt. From some cause, either lack of
SammuBiton or ability to get their clnnOn in po-
s Gion, the Yankees made very little use of arul-
ery, and this ndded confidence to our troops.
1t was reported that the enemy nld effected
XlaDding on the COosawh ltchie, bol0g POCOtaligo;
dbut they had not been able to reach she railroad.

i Through the courtesy of gCntlC lau, 10 whom
I'VE have been indebted hereiOtorc Tor similar
#fayOrs, we received, last night copies of the Au-
&gusla papers Of wednesday, the ,5h insr. The
Sentinet says that the adylces in reference SLer-
oman's mOyt mCnt5 are very meagre. The advance
= was reported to be skirmishing Tuesday, Dsc5m-
Hber 6, 9t station lwO-andG g. Half 3nty tive miles
from Savannah. They were pressing vigorously
towards Savannah.
"a We have no doubt that decisive battle be-
tween the raiders and the patriot forces has
&taken pluce-the result OF which We may be en-
*|abtd TO announce this afternoon.
The same paper states, on the authority of
Hoo 10 a 4 In
#midst OF the Yankee army, that the officers spoke
#Teey of their plans and said sherman did noJ
fnt,Dd 10 risk an engagement if he could help it,,
.As he had no ammunition to spare. They seemed
content TO make their way peaCeaDly TO the coast,
I'M the most practicable point, without fight.

was moving towards savannah, aId a battle has
probably been fought before this Une.
