from ne Sauaa, al Ncrs, Nyr.aos,l9.
We have authp nfip iufYrtnufiOn that the enamy

party has come down, pro>aJly from CpytnBton
on the track OF The StOneman raid, aud I'd
reached the littlo town of Wallace N JIus,
county, q few miles north Of the Mlledg'viils
and GorConyillc Railroad last night or early tuls

We learn that good d5Hl of excitement exists
in Macon, and that q number OF women

proaches, and perhaps tU venture farther IN tue
direction Of this city or Augusta, and do as much
mischief as possible. II is believed the force at
Macon and Milcdgeyille is ample TO protect those
places for the present. Whether the main army
of Sherman will ever get that far downs matter
we cannot venture an opinion upon.
Since writing the foregoing we have received
private despatch from Macon showing that up to
this writing (halfp past 2. NJ. the enemy had not
struck the road. The despatch states that no
trains would leave Macon to-day for this place.
p. S.-ThTeo j. M.-The telegraph is still
working TO Macon, from which we conclude the
enemy have not struck the Central Railroad at
any point.
From Me SGranHa1 Negs, NoJ6Eter2l.
Our latest and most reliable adyices are, that
the enemy was in force in the vicinity OF Monroe
and Jones counties, and considerable body had
crossed the Ockmulgee river at Planters Factory,
seven miles west of Indian Springs, taking a
direction which would indicate his purpose to
take Augusta in his route 20 the seaboard.
The enemy may, and no doubt Will inhict
much dAmage but If the people OF our noble
State nerve themselves as one man 70 the imp0rt-
ance of the emergency, and forgetting self, direct
their incessant, united efforts against the foe as
advised by General Beauregard and our patriotic
representatives In Congress, the great Yankee
Army Of the Tennessee aud its brutal and insO-
lent leader will DO annihilated.
