Further Particulars Of Sherman'l
Movements in Georgla.-Rebel
Accounts.
Naw Yoax, Dec. ls.-The Richmond
Despatch says;
The news from Georgia yesterday val
of a somewhat exciting character. The
enemy who had been marching down the
| OQeechee river with three corps, one or
the North and two on the South side, en-
deayored TO unite their forces, but met with
considerable resistance from the conted-
crates. and at last accounts had not ettect-
cd their object, which was also preVen ted
| in mart by the unfaVoEableness of the river
approaches. On Wednesday, the Ith, the
Idemoustratfons of the federals on the fer
Fies in the Savannah river became more
deteruined, aud they managed 70 get some
of their infantry across the hAts within
sight of the river. Here we were well pre-
pared and our aFtillerists did good work.
II was supposed that they WOuld DC COM
pelled to abandon the attempt. From some
cause, either lack of ammunition or inAOil-
ity to get their cannon in position, the
Yankees made very little use of artillery,
and this added confidence to our troops.
1t was reported that the enemy had eff
fected landing on the Coosawatchie riv
er below Pocotaligo, but they had not been
able to reach the railroad.
The Augusta Sentinel of the 7th says.
Its advices in reference to Sherman's
movements are very meagre. The advance
was reported to be skirmishiug on Tues-
dav. Dec. 9Th, at Station No. 2, about %
miles from Savannah. They were pressing
vigorously towards Savannah, and we have
no doubt that decisive battle between the
raiders and the patriot forces has taken
place, the result of which We may be en-
ablod to announce this evening.
The Richmond Examiner of the 10th
saws there is no news later than the 7th.
At that time the entire force of Sherman
was combined on the east side Of the
Ogeechee. On the 9Th it advanced no less
than Is miles. His men were represented
as much fatigued and their spirits flag
ginR, In numbers they were 10000 mus
kets and a mosl enormous wagon train.
The country in his rear was swarm
ing with strsgglers and deserters,
who were begging and pillaging al
every house. Citizens who have talked
with the officers concur in the declaration
that they are universally dtsgusted with
the expedition aud the war.
The officers spoke very freely Of Sher-
mans plans. They said he would not
risk an engagement if he could help it, be-
cause he had no ammunition to spare, but
would make his way to the sea coast at the
nearest practicable point
The enemy had three or four hundred
negroes With them. They had no arms,
but we're merely camp followers, slipping
off aud making their way home at every
stopping place, to be replaced by others.
No attention is now paid to the general
order of Sherman issued at the beginning
of the march, and the whole country mas
been uilIa0ed bY mobs of soldiers without
omcers, NneBfer - operating On tue Gun
fused mass at every step.
The Augusta COnstitutiOnalist of the 9th
SAYS. On Monday last fight took place
at Walkers Bridge on Brisr Greek, twenty
two miles from Augusta, in which the Fed
erals were Worsted.
A batch of I22 Yankee prisoners had
arrived in Augusta.
