Sherman is shut Up 10 Atlanta b.
Forrest, with bis limos Of communios
ton SO destroyed that his government
has not heard from him for seyers
deys. He captured Atlanta, but it may ye
prove his ruin. We lsRrn from reliable
source that in Washington city there is gree
rejoicing over the reported movement Of lIoot
towards the Alabama line. II is eald TO hav
Ala hot
Hood 10 make. That sending cff the osvalr,
towards Tennessee and marching his army to
wards The rear Of Sherman, was playing int
tho istto,'s bond. Sherman ia said to have
accumulated from fifty to sixty days supplies
IN Atlanta during the truce; and as scor
as Hood is far away to the right, end
Forrest and Wheeler deep into Tennessee
Sherman will start on his really grand cam
psigu for tho sea coast ct savannah-the mer
of SheIman's army carrying in their KNAPP
sacks ten days. rssions, and ten days rationl
in wagons. The army Of Sherman, ooncen'
:ratsd into solid mass, is believed to be stropg
enough to overcome any force he may find in
chs front, and bis start Of Hood will enable
him to keep far enough ahead Of him to pre-,
vent any delay or consumption Of supplies be-
fore reaching the sea coast. The country
overrun will be stript Of all supplies, and the
march through made in fifteen Or twenty days.
This is said to be the campaign. Will it quo.
Deed
Tho distance to Savannah is about two hun
dred and fifty n,ilss Ind from twenty to twer.
