Your correspondent with the Army ol
the James, also forwards Richmond papert
OF Thursday, the Gath inst.
The Wing has the following on Gen.
Sherman's movements:
The War Department was last night
without news from Magruder.
1t was rumored yesterday that the
Yankees had occupied Milledgsville, Ga,
and caused the Legislature Of that State
to skedaddc.
1t Was also stated on wha. seemed to be
passable authority, that Sherman's report.
ed movement on Macon was only feint,
and that his real design was Augusta.
We give these speculstions for what they
are worth.
The Wing adds editorially, that I'll in
formation received shows that Sherman
has passed BY Macon, and will move on to
the Atlantic coast, without attacking the
dsfenses Of Augusta.
The Richmond Enquirer aud Dispatch
of the 24th both admit that Milledgeville
has fallen. Sherman occupied it on
Tuesday.
A telegram from Augusta to the Dis
patch says that all was quiet there on
Wednesday.
