iFtem tue Richmond Examiner, Oct, ST.
The var has been Transferred from Georgia
70 Alabama. The Yankees Themselves con-
tess THIS. They say Sherman, on the 27th,
Was at Ga5lesvllle, chasing Hood, who vas
n fnll retreat to Gadsden. We may easily
aetect the abfurdity of this electioneertng
fanKce dispatch, WHEN we look On the mao
and see that a5lesville Is In tho northern
part Of Cherokee county, on the Chatooga,
IN aMneat Of the Coosa, and that Gsslsdea Is
~ the southwestern part Of tho same county
inst where the railroad from Jacksonville to
CROSSES the Cooea. 4 few days ago the aouth.
cru papers stated that Beauregard wsss at
Jacksonville With considerable BODY Of re-
inforccments for Hood. The two forces
deubtless effected q junction four or ere
days ago, and as Gunter's' Landing ia only
some thirty miles from Jacksonville 1t Is
more than probable that HOOD and Beaurc.
gasd arc now In Tenns ssee.,
We doubt whether shesman's whole aruy,.
Or any large portion Of 1t, Is at GaYlesylIie,
1t Is much more likely that the main bodv ID
moving down the Tenneeaee river in trans
ports as rapidly as they c9n be steamed, and
That only corps of observation, consisting
principally Of cavalry, is kept in Hoods rear.
