that cur scouts saw fifteen hundred YANKEES, at 10
O'Clock yesterday, on the road from Greensboro 10
IaiOnton, probably those reported to have been in
Greensboro by the down train yesterday morning.
Hso the raiders have turned their course nom this

The Situation.
From me sdUdERGh CoasttI H0aaAst NOv 25.
The latest reliable intelligence from the direction
OF Macon comes uom scouts sent out trom
Sparta. These scouts, who came in last evening
report that body from six hundred to one thou
sand Yankee cavalry had crossed the Osouee ond
were moving slowly and nervousy towards Sparta
Beyond some burning and stealing this small band
si troopers has no special significance. We havo
reason 10 believe that they will be seriously bush
Wacked, and we trust cut to pieces.
One OF the most encouraging features of this
'1nvssion is the fact which we have from the most
pndOubted testimony, that hundreds OF the enemy
are Struggling from their main bodies and searching
for somebody to take them into custody. They are
sprawlng all about the country. and those who a 70
not willing TO surrender can be beautifully BUSH
Ehacked Let all the Old and Young folks turn ont
and give the rascals taste Georgia State
sovereignty. This decentralization OF our enemy is
most proYidential Tor us, aud ought TO staen the
back bone OF the most tmid amongst Us.
Three hundred prisoners arrived last evening from
mp the Georgia road, and tour hundred more are to
arrive to-day,
These prisoners report that a division Of three
thousand OF our cavalry has followed them al the
w.. mn
stIaPPlers and capturing wagons.
HAhPToNs inymciDle cavalry will be with IN
y day or so. and hang upon IN cir eastern flank.
General WAYNE has whipped KILP ATRGCK's CO.
yary DIVISION on the Oconee bridge, driving them
head Ong and in confusion. He telegrap hs that he
is perfectly able 20 take care of himself.
WHEELER, with many thousand men, has inter
eepted the euemY at point at present unmontOna-
bic, and is giving them no rest night or day.
Inc mem body o. the enemy is moving down the
poslliOn thus far to attempt its passage.
TIE skies are Frightening. Everything looks
noHOus, ana ere long Mr.. SHERMAN will get
lashlng that he little dreamed Of when ne made his
On to the Gun" movement The gulf OF pordi-
non lie upon him.
