Ono thing ccrtaln, the movements Of the
rebels produce not the least bit of alarm
among our general officers, who seem to think
that Bcaureg,ard Is cutting his own throat.
1t must be remembered that, as yet, the
movements of tho rebel army have been con-
flncd to their own country and among their
friends. The only damage that has been in-
days aftcrwa1d, and trains loaded with sup-
plies rass over the railroads daily unmolest-
cd to the front.
Really, Gen. Sherman has kindly permitted
Bcaurcgard to reach tho cnd Of his rope.

He may suppose that the forces under Thom-

that, all Of Hoods army having been with
drawn from the South, BIC would find nothing
to oppose him on tho road to Charleston Vi
