suERNAS's NEW BASE.

Sherman has now as safe and convenient
a base of supplies As Grant. Indeed in
some respect he has advantages over the
armies on the James. His supplies ascend
the Ogeechee River q short distance, and
reach him after landing by a few miles
transportation over a splendid shell road
His TANKS are protected by the Savannah
River on the left, and the Ogeechee on
the right, while his rear is approacbaole
only through 4 strip OF country south OF
Millen, hanked On both sides by impene
trabls swamps. Unlimited supplies can
be sent from Port Royal, and any number
of heavy guns from The same well stocked
post. He is FIVE days from New York,
three days from Fortress Monroe. He it

may imagine from the fact that | write

chief in easy supporting distance, and ]

Savannah. The weather is deliciously
~springlike; just such a day as you would
think clever for a Northern June.
WHERE oRAEr EXPECTED SHERMAN TO CONE
OUT"
General Grant and the War Department
expected Sherman I reach a sea-board
base AT Brunswick or Darien. The rebel
press almost unanimously hit upon the
former point. Sherman improved vastly
upon al these forecasts, and has a base
where lie prosecutes the. siege OF Savannah

We have the assurance that the army
has Jared s~umptously off the country,
abundant supplies being found on every
plantation. Every day details for forag-
ing were made from each regiment, who
sailed forth, generally returning in a We
hicIe or on horseback, ladensYith poultry,
sweet potatoes, corn, bFeads bacon, honey
and many es esteros. More cattle, sheep
and hogs were driven In han could be
used. In such event, like old buffalo
hunters, they appropriated only the
tongues and tender-loins. S~upeItuous
horses, or those that became temporarily
disabled, were shot. This is war accort-

however, that Mr. Lincoln will be reelected by
abcafiy unanimous vote Of the Electoral College.
The Mcclellan men have no hope Of success,
ana the rich August Belmont the presiden, OF

THE FRAUD IN New YoRK.-The gigantic

reference to the soldiers votes in New York, has
been SO thoroughly exposed, that isnow thought
any great mitchief from it may be prevented
Gov Seymour has attempted, as far as possible, to
shield his friends from the punishment due
their crimes, but thus far with rather poor success
Two of the ios;as, Ferry and Donohue, have
been tried by military commission, and sentenced
to hard labor in the penetlntinry for life. Another,
Col. North, is now on trial, although desperate
efforts have been made to stave of the trial until
After election. The government is taking the
most active and energetic measures to bring the
guilty parties to justice, as well as to prevent the
fraudulent votes from getting into the ballot box
To aid in securing this result many soldiers have
been sent home on furlough to vote. $4,000 sol
