General sherman's Movements
Rebel Accounts of the Situation.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 29.-Late rebel papers
give additional information regarding
6herman's movements. They show the
separate movements of the respective coll
umns under Gems. Howard and Sl0cnm.
Both OF them, it is admitted by rebel pa
pers, are we'll across the Ocone river.
The report that Milledgsville has been
occupied Is confirmed, and also the de-
struction of the charcoal works aud fur
naces at Griswoldville-
The panic created both in Georgia
and South Carolina by the march
of the irresistible couquerOF, is something
which has had NO parallel during the war.
A levy en- HIaSse of the Georgia and South
Carolina militia has been ordered, and
desperate efforts we're being made to con-
centrate at Augusta an army sufficient 70
present some opposition 70 Sherm0n's Rd.
Vancing columns.
The Augusta Gpnstitutionalist of the
22d, says q raidlng party of the enemy
crossed the road ten miles east Of Macon,
and destroyed q number of freight trains,
which were turned back in haste. Heavy
Cannonading and musketry firing were
heard east Of Gordon. II was supposed
that Gen. Wayne, at Gordon, had been at
tackled.
MilledgevilIe had been entirely evacua.
Everything of value was brought away.
The Augusta Despatch of the 2lst inst,
says the movement Of Sherman on Mil
IedgeVille was feiut for the purpose of
concentrating our forces there, and the raid
on the Central Railroad was for the pur-
pose Of keeping them there whilst the
whole force of the enemy moves upon and
captures Augusta or Savannah.
The Augusta ConstitutionAlist gives the
progress of a column under Slocum.-
About 1000 cavalry visited Madison, on
the Georgia State road, and burned It on
the 10th. On the Goth an engine sent up
the road found the enemy at Buckshead,
IL miles nearer Augusta. On the 18th
some OF our men were 76 miles from Au-
gusta, probably raiding party.
The Augusta Chronicle Of the Goth, says:
A large cavalry force left GreenVille, Ga,
and bound ACROSS the country in the di-
rection of Atlanta, with q view to cut of Q
Yankee column moving down the Georgia
road in this direction. 1t is said Breckin-
ridge was to leave upper East Tennessee
with his troops on the l2th for the Geor-
gia line. With Hood in his rear, Breckin-
ridge on his tanks and 10000 veteran
troops in his front, Sherman cannot escape.
The Augusta COnstitutionaIist says: As
we write the glad and familiar shout of
veteran troops, just arriving from South
Carolina, comes up from the streets.
If Sherman's men retreat, on their way
they will hear the whistling of bullets from
the trusty guns which have often been
pointed at fanatics on the banks of the Po-
tomac and James. Before our readers see
this, other glad shouts will be heard in our
streets.
The Macon Confederate of the goth inst,
says General Hsrdee arrived here this
morning. General Beauregard will prob
ably be here tomorrow.
Since the date of the above cOmmunicR-
ton with the east has been cut Of by
Sherman, and both HArdee and BeRure.
gard are left far in the rear of Sherman.
Governor Brown, Dick Taylor and Beau
regard were reported at Macon on the
22d instant.
Richmond papers of the 25th and 26th
say they have encouraging news from
Georgia, but will not print it; still they
assure their readers that the official adVi-
ces from Georgia are as favorable as they
could expect.
