The progress of SHERMAN towards the heart of the
State OF Georgia seems last to have been arrested
That t.shoud be arrested at hazards evidently the
design of the Confederate authorities and this d. sign
found expression in the appointment Of General HOOP
to the command of the army CT Tennessee. That ap-
pointment and General HOODS acceptance of IT, meant
that at last the Confederate army was at bay and
would fight where it stood, rather than move back
step farther.
1t is now stated and that so publicly that whether
The revelation pruden. or not its concaament is no
LOGGER possible, that Gen. HOODS army has been large
y strengthened by reinforcements amounting to many
thousands of veteran troops. We may su1Bise where
these troops from, and think guess, but do
not think it at all necessary for to do at this time
Of course the enemy will discover it after while and
our OVID people also.
The rierds, or rather the especial parzans Of Gen.
JOHNSTON, for We do not know that he has any enc
es, will probably urge that General HOOP has re-
ceved assistance that was denied to bis predecessor
Of the truth of this allegation cannot, Of course
speak, for do not know but while we should regret
anything like injustice to General JOHNSTON, we shall
the less rejoice any successes that Gen. HooD
may have it in his power to gain The honor of our
brave generals s dear to the country but the salvation
of the country itself is still dearer not only to the
try ct large but to the generals Themselves, than any
passing applause, feeting glory 1t may be that no
Partially be charged against the Confederate gov
ernment-that the reinforcements sent to Gen. Hoop
not sooner available and could not have been sent
to General JOHNSTON, and think this will turn out
to be the fact.
At any rate we feel assured that no idea of indvid.
ual neglect Injustice should such exist will prevent
General JOHNSTON from sympathizng with the efforts
OF his successor praying for his safety and that of his
army, and rejoicing heartily in any victories which they
may be enabled to achieve.
We see the Savannah News states that General S
D. LEE has joined Gen. HOOD A lanta, with eight
or ten thousand troops. We do not know whether this
is so or not. Probably it is.
