Rebel Review of the Sherman-Hood
Campaisn-Everythins in Favor OF
al,n - GoIn

From the Richmond Examiner, Dec. IL
The strange shifting of the theatre OF
war from North Georgia, each OF the two
opposing armies advancing through the
country which was lately within its enc
my's lines, until they appear almost SIM
ultaneously, the one before Nashville
and the other before Savannah, entirely
abandoning the whole vast region be-
tween, may be very fine as strategic
spectacle; but one cannot easily perceive
how it makes any considerable progress
towards finishing the war. 1t there be
any advantage, however, resulting either
to the one side or to the other, it seems, for
so far, to be in our favor. Sherman has,
indeed, marched, almost unopposed,
through a thinly settled portion of Geor-
gia; has burned several villages, andplun-
dered many plantations and has success
fully established his communications
with the sea; at point which enables
him, if so disposed, to lay siege to Savan
nah. In the course of this movement it
is also true that he has, according to the
usual Yankee policy, left many families
homeless and in distress; but he has made
no friends to his cause; and those whom
he found friends, OF else Indifferent, he
leaves bitter and vindictive enemies
For the purpose of developing the
Union sentiment" and freeing the 10y
al people" from the tyrannical pres
sure of the Confederate government
which was. at first said to be the OBJ
ject of invading our country-for this
purposes Sherman might as we'll have
gone by sea to the mouth of Ogeecheei
whereby he would have savedmuchfa fatigue
and struggling The sole gain, and this
must have been through some blunder
OH our part, is the possession of Fort Nc
Allister, at the mouth of the Ogeechee,
(which, although it does by no means in
volve the capture of Savannah, yet gives
the enemy certain advantages and facil-
tiles for the investment of that place
Even should Savannah fall, that would
be nothing like an equivalent for what
Sherman abandoned when he left Ten
hessee and Kentucky open the advance
of a powerful Confederate army. For,
while he has been plunging through the
swamps of Georgia, looking for the way
to the sea, the Confederate general has
established himself in strong force in the
pleasant and plentiful country of Middle
Tennessee, gained. a victory, shut up the
federal force in Nashville, and, we hope,
before this time forced the evacuation of
both Murfreesboro and of Chattanooga,
thereby ,effeetuank regaining the greater
part Of one Confederate State, which
cost the enemy so much blood and treas
hre to overrun-not conquer-two years
ago, and placing himself on the border

Hardee,s Position at Savannah

From the Charleston Mercury Dec. l3.l
Sherman has been pressing steadily to-
wards Savsnnah. Our troops had fallen
back to ths junction of the Georgia Cen
tral and Charleston and Savannah rail
road about three miles from the city. at this
important point, ,chich commands both roads,
General Hardee took his stand.
1t was confidently reported yesterday,
and we think correctly, that Sherman's
forces were in Hardee's front and that,
a demand for the surrender Of the city haring
been refused, heary fighting ensued, and was
going on yesterday. OF the result, how
ever if any, 10 news whatever has
reached u.s. We may hear something to-
day.
The community Of Savannah seem firm
and quiet. For the present the trains
will cease to run through between the
two cities.
General Gartrell states that for several
days he observed frequent signals be-
tween the federal. forces toward Port
Royal and Sherman's forces in the diree-
tion of Sisters Ferry, on the Savannah
The impression of scouts was that
Sherman was crossing a corps at the
ferry, and would cooperate with Fos-
ter's forces in opening the way to Port

marks, said: Fort McAllister has fallen,
Savannah is about to fall, the fate of
Charleston seems to be deferred a few
days later, Hoods army has already met
with grand disaster at Franklin, and in
my judgment is fatally compromised. -
of all these dire calamities 1t was the
cause of the result of the unfortunate
battle of Murfreesboro, and the still more
disastrous one at Missionary Ridge -
Should Hoods army be destroyed, an
event which fear is but too probable,
and Sherman come round to this vicinity
in ships, which do not doubt he now
intends, what will be the fate of Rich
mond ?"

wasting forty-two counties, capturing
i,v00 prisoners, I 1.000negroes, Is, 900 horses
and 80 peices of artillery. He lost not a
gun, and our entire casualties were only
about 500 prisoners from struggling, and
300 or 400 killed or wounded, including
the loss at Fort McAllister. Fitzpatrick
defeated Wheeler in skirmish near Ma
con, and he would have taken the city
