Sherman seems to be becoming more timid

This has been rather calm day along
the lines in front of Petersburg, some little
picket firing was INDUCED in on the right Of
the line, but artillery on both. sides was
very quiet. Considerable activity prevailed
in the the lines north of the James River
today, but the rain storm which set in
early this morning, seemed to have sput stop
to whatever changes, If any were intended.
Firing was kept up at Dutch Gap all day,
but not with 30 much persistency as Yes
terday. Richmond papers of to-day con
tains no news from either Georgia or Ten
nessee. They have seemed to be busy in
front Of Richmond for the past 2 or 3 days,
and have evidently been preparing to resist
any advance on our part. All quiet this

Southern Accounts of Sher'
av mans Movements. sta

WAsHINGToN, Dec 9-The Augusta Con-
stitutionalist thinks that Sherman has not
for . moment hesitated as to the point to
be attacked, or the road to it. 1t says
that the enemy broke camp at Louisville
early on the morning of the I'd inst, and,
abandoning the shortest route to Augusta,
moved by q new route in the direction OF
Savannah. -----.---..----.---..----
The Oopstitutionalist lays out the fol-
lowing campaign for Sherman as being the
most natural aud practicable one:
With his forage and provision trains full,
he will pass his entire army to Millen, and
then throwing his cavalry in the rear, he
will put his wagon trains between the two
wings of his army and march in compact
column steadily and cautiously on the city
of Savannah. The Ogechee and it's few
crossings and terrible swamps on his right,
and tho Savannah river with its equally
swampy banks on his left, both his tanks
will be most securely covered, and thus sit
uated he has march of over eighty miles
to the city. Travelling at. the rate he has
averaged since leaving Atlanta, he would
reach there by the 9th inst, provided he
should not be checked by the way.
The Oconee bridge had not been burned,
although desperate attempts had been
made to accomplish it, CO
The Richmond Enquirer of the 9TH inst,
reports that no new movements have been
made in the direction ..of Grow ersville Ga.
The federal troops engaged, consisted OF
four regiments of whites and four of black.
About 1900 men were found on the field
dead and wounded. 4
