Gen Sherman 6 Progress.

Accounts come by way of Savan
nah and from rebel deserters to Ger
Grants lines that Gen Sherman has
taken Macon, Georgia. One report
is that he has taken and burnt botE
Macon and Milledgeville, the Geor
gia legislature scattering from the
latter place at the approach Of the in,
vaders. When Davis visited Macon,
in the fall, he spoke of it as the ar.
senal, granary and hospital of the
confederacy. The machinery of the
confederate works at Atlanta was
removed thither, and the place was
of great value to the rebels as a
mandatory and storehouse of imple-
ments and munitions of war. Gen
Joe Johnston was there assisting
Howell Cobb in conducting the de-
Tense of the city. The loss of the
place rs a serious blow to the rebels.
The Georgia papers report the
burning of Gov Browns house at
Canton, and the general destruction
of towns and houses along the route
of Sherman's army. The facts are
likely to be exaggerated by the anger
and fear of the rebels, but without
doubt there has been and will be
much devastation. In his order for
the march Gen Sherman directed
the troops to forage literally on the
country, but not to enter dwellings
or commit any trespass. Command |
crs were to authorize the destruction
of mills, cotton gins and houses in
districts were guerrillas should mo-
lest the army on the march or the
inhabitants burn bridges and OBJ
struct the roads. Able bodied ne
groes likely to be ofseryice were to
be taken along. Beauregard issued
an order commanding the people to
commit the very act which Sherman's
troops were to punish by burning
their houses, and the accounts of gen
eral destruction along the path of
the army are therefore credible
Sherman will not hazard the safety
of his army or its success by any
sentimental consideration 70 the
or feelings of the rebels.
All rebeldom is evidently much
agitated by Shermau's bold move
mcnt. Though long forewarned of
it, they were incredulous, and it finds
them unprepared for resistance
There is therefore great commotion,
and every man calls on his Eeighbor

Mrs Harrison was the daughter Of

married to the Hon Captain Harrison,
who commanded Fort Washington, soon
after the departure Of General Wayne

was her want Of any love OF show, or

was a pious, devoted, benevolent Chris

life, with exemplary fidelity. Her
character is summed up in paragraph,
from Howe's "Ohio." She is distin-
guished for her beneyolence and her
piety; al who know her view her with

has been characterized by those quail
