NEW YoRK, Nov. 2g.-Late arebel papers
furnish additional information touching
sherman's movement, showing the sep
arate operations Of the respective columns
of Howard and sloeum.
It is admitted that both Of them are well
across the Oconee River.
The reported occupation of Milledgevillc
is confirmed and the destruction Of the
charcoal works at Griswoldville, a station
on the Georgia Central Railroad between
Macon and Gordon.
The panic created both in Georgia and
and South Carolina by the march Of the
irresistible onlueror, is something which
has had no parallel during the war. A
| levy ca HasSe Of the Georgia and South
/ Carolina militia has been ordered, and
desperate efforts were being made to con
/ eentrate at Augusta an army sufficient 10
present some opposition 70 sherman's ad-
vancing columns.
The Augusta Csnstitutionalist Of the sd
inst, says raiding party Of the enemy
I tapped the railroad ten miles east Of Macon,
and destroyed a lumber train. Freight
trains were turned back in haste. Heavy
eanonsding end musketry firing were
heard east Of Gordon. It was supposed
Gen. Wayne at Gordon had been attacked.
Milledgeville had been entirely evacuated
By our forces before the enemy entered.
Every thing of value was brought away.
The Augusta Dispatch OF the 2lst says
the movement Of sherman on Mnledge-
vile was a feint for the purpose Of concen-
eentrating our forces there, and the raid on
the Central Railroad, was for the purpose
Of keeping them there, whilst the whole
force of the enemy moved upon and cap
tured Augusta or Savannah.
The Augusta Constitutionalist gives the
progress Of a column under slocum. About
thousand cavalry visited Madison on the
Georgia State -(nearly half way from
Atlanta to Augusta and burnt il on the
18th. On the goth, an engine went uP the
road and found the enemy at Bucks Head,
eleven miles nearer Augusta.
90 the 10Th, some of our men were only
IS miles from Augusta, probably a raidiBg
party.
The Augusta Chronicle Of the goth says
large cavalry force left Greenyille, 8. c.,
bound across the country in the direction
Of Atlanta, with view Of cutting of a Yam
kee Cavalry column moving down the road
in this direction.
II is stated that Breekinridgs was to leave
upper East Tennessee with his troops, on
the 18th, for the Georgia line. With Hood
in the rear, Breekinridge on his aauks, and
$4,000 veteran troops on his front Sherman,
the rebels say, can't escape.
The Augusta Constitutionalist says, as we
write the glad and familiar shout cf veteran
troops, just arriving from the South Caro-
lima depot, comes up from the street,. il
sherman retreats this way, they VIII err
the whistle Of bullets from trusty guns
which have often been pointedst fanatics
on the banks Of the Potomac and Jamee.
Before our readers see this, other glad
shouts will be heard ia our streets.
The Macon Telegraph Of the 2Oth says,
Gen. Hardee arrived here this morning;
Gen. Beauregard will probably be here To-
morrow.
Since the date Of the above, cOmmunica-
tion with the East has been cut of By
Sherman, and both Hardee and Beauregard
have been Jeff far in the rear Of that Cen
eral.
Gov. Brown, Dick Taylor, and Beauregard
are reported at Macon on the 22d.
Richmond papers Of the 25th and 26th
say they have encouraging news frsm Geor-
gla, but will not print il. Still they say
the official advices from Georgia are as fav-
orabls as they could expect
The Hersld's Washington special says IN
formation has been received there Of the
formation Of peace party in Alabama,
Georgis, and Mississippi, for the readmis-
sion Of those States, and that a small en-
gagement took place on Sunday at Moor
field, West Virgins. in which the rebels
lost twenty men. Il is also stated that one
thousand rebels had made theirappearsnce
at New Creek. This is very doubtful.
The Times Washington special says Col.
Baker. on the 4th inst, informed General
Dix Of the plot 10 burn New York, and q
man named Moore, eognizsnt o. the plot.
was arrested and sent 70 Fort Lafayette.
