III you were TO see the army under General
Sherman's immediate command at this mo

was operating in any manner in its rear for
Hoods army, although in no way touching
Sheruan's communications, yet, at Florence,
may be said t. be in his rear This army,
now covering Atlanta, has been for several
days past taking things quite easily not
that it has been idle, for there has been Il
hesltaJ degree of activity going on pretty
much like that Of All athlete or prize fighter
who undcrgoes that thorough training which
prepares him for the vital struggle. Proba,
ably there never has been more perfect ar
my to take the field for campaign than that
in Georgia at the present time. Transports
ton has been reduced to the simplest neces
sfties OF the occasion. All the sick and
wouaded have been sent to the rear unncc.
essary ornaments have been dispensed with,
and extra tents and baggage have been re
moved and are now Ola the way northward.
The army is literally stripped for the march
and the tight; and certainly, in addition to
all this, no body Of men were ever mentally
or physically III more encouraging condi-
ton for the grand duties Of a soldier. The
surgeons report their commands to be in the
healthiest possible state, and more cheerful
set Of men cannot be imagined. The most
guilty Offenders have not been reached -
South Carolina and the lower part of this
State have. as yer, remained secure from the
approach of the hated Yankee. In these
districts millions Of bales Of cotton have been
stored thousands of Stages are here secure

moved al the valuable machinery for the
construction Of locomotives, rolling of iron,
and manufacture Of cannon, small arms and
different kinds of ammunition. In Augusta
alone, am told, there is stored nearly half
million bales Of cotton, while the largest
powder magazine in America is there, con.
tanning the largest supply Of powder in the
rebel States. Our brother soldiers, too, are
confined in loathsome prisons in these parts,

&EN1si:AL GRANT In NEW YORK.

NEw YoRx, November 2s.
General Grant left the city yesterday after.
noon for the front. BY his request his pres
ence here was kept as quiet as possible. and
though he was at the screRade of the Gov
ernor elect on Saturday, no mention was
made Of the fact in the accounts of tha,
affair.
Before leaving, the General called on Gen.
cral Scott, and had an interesting conference.
General Scott presented him with copr Of
his autobiography, written on the fly leaf ::
From tie oldest to the aJlest General in tie

said, on Sunday: THE Confederacy is a

The Sioux City Journal hasa report that
the ID. S. c. Il. r. has passed into the
hands of Pennsylvania company, and that
The road is to be completed to Sioux City by
next fall. This is an item of vital interes,
TO our citizens" says the Journal. So It's.
But won't the Pennsylvania Company have
10 hoe sand like the dickens, thou. IN, to
complete two hundred and forty miles of road
by next fall: Seems so to US. The Journal
in its anxiety, is altogether too crelulous.--
No such news has reached these parts from
any other source than the Sioux, and the
Pennsylvania Company, We are inclined to
believe, are not more enlightened than our
selves. Sioux City will have railroad some
day, but she must bds her TINA.
