Sher1nan's Army.
THE MARCH TO TGEE SEA.
FROM ATLANTA TO TIE ATLANTIC


From Correspondence Of Cincinnati Commercial.
HOW SHERMAN MARCHED.
These scouts report that throughout
the march the army moved in four
columns, Howard on the right and
Slocum on Ue left, with cavalry in
front and rear. In this manner 1t
covered strip Of nearly sixty miles
in width. For 300 miles Sherman has
cut through Georgia swath of sixty
miles. 1t would seem that the "horo
turned fugitive" might hato been
found somewhere In this tract Of 49,
600 square miles if the search for him
had been very earnest.
Immediately after leaving Atlanta,
the column marching toward Macon
devastated the country for miles west
of the Macon and Atlanta Railroad,
in order to retard the progress OF Hood,
should he attempt 10 follow on Shcr-
mans rear.
WHAT OPPOSITION WAS ENCOUNTERED.
Not the least significant and cheer
ing fact of the march is, that but very
little opposition to the grand raid, or
rather occupation, was met, In their
haste to fly, bridges over smaller
streams were, in several instances, left
unburncd by the citizens. They were
terrified out of discretion and failed to
respond to the dcspairinS appeals Of
Generals and Legislators to fell trees,
burn bridges, and destroy subsistence.
In no place was the road seriously
blockaded, & the stores that were burned
wrrc fired by rebel cavalry, who were
feared by the agricultural Georgians
as much as the Yankees, The horses
were sccreted in the swamps to escape
both parties. We got nearly all, be,
cause the indispensable negro WIS very
apt to designate the spot where the
coming cavalry nags were to bcfound.
Our troops had few skirmishes in all
of which they were successful. II
Wheeler defeated Fitzpatrick at any
time, no one in Sherman's army was
aware of the fact when our scouts left
it,
THE CAPTURE OF MILLEDGEvILLE.
The rebel papers make no mention
of the ludicrOus fact that Milledgevillc
was surrendered to our scoots two
days before the main army reached
the town. The scouts were met by
tho Mayor, who insisted on surrender
ing tho place, only asking that private
property should be respected. These
triumphant captors, after their intor-
NAL entrse, proceeded to open the Pen
itcntiary, releasing about ono hun.
dred and fifty inmates, BONE of them
members oftne Federal army, confined
for what were really military offenscs
Very few of the citizens remained, and
those who did were not disturbed
On leaving Milledgetille, our forces
burned the State buildings, exploded
\ quantity of ammunition, and de-
Stroycd the dcpots.
A FIELD ORDER FROM SHERMAN.
While in Milledgeville a citizen
made complaint to Sherman of having
been robbed Of a considerable amount
in money and a valuable gold watch
establishing the fact with an abun-
dant evidence. Shermanimmediately !
issued an order declaring that any Of
his. army found engaged in stealing
money or articles Of no military value,
Of raviahing, or wantonly burning pri,
vatc property, would be shot. This

the war began we have never had such
immense advantages over the garrison
