letter from Harpct'5 Ferry says reinforce.
ments are constantly reaching Sheridan, con.
sisting Of new recruits and conyalescent sol.
dicrs from different military hospitals In
Northern cities.
A Washington dispatch Of yesterday says
Information received here shows pretty con
clusivoly that Early has been recalled with bis
entire force from the Wiley, and sent to So
vannah by rail, and about 10000 more de-
tached from Lees army and sent south also,
that an army Of sc, 600 is to be improvised un-
der Eweu to get between Sherman and the
Atlantic coast.
a gentleman just from Georgia says Macon,
Milledgeyille and Augusta contain but few
prisoners, nearly all of them having been tn.
ken to Charleston, Savannah, and other
points supposed to be safe. AL have been re-
moved from Andersonville except 1ew hun.
dred sick. Augusta and Columbus, Georgia,
are important arsenal and military depots.
AL the material and machinery taken from
Atlanta Wns sent to Augusta.
: Macon and Milledgcyille are Of secondary
importance, except that Macon is great
railroad center. The disgust Of the people Of
Georgia ut Davis government Is very great.
The quarrel between JEFF. Davis and Governor
Brown commenced about blockade running,
North Carolina having been permitted to en-
gage in blockade running on her own &C.
count, and having thus imported all that her
soldiers need, and having surplus On hand.
Georgia asked the same privileges, but Was
refused.
This gentleman thinks Sherman will nat
find any display Of Union feeling, but proba-
bly, much Indifference at tho defeat Of the reb-
els. The conschption II rigfdly enforced.
Small posts are scattered through the South
for enforcing the conscription laws. These
posts employ large number of men IN the
aggregate, thus keeping considerable force
from the 'front.'
There are great fears through the South of
the capture Of Wilmington, said to be the
chief dependence Of the Confederates at pres
ent for outside supplies.
Sherman will find no force Of importance
to oppose his march across Geosgia in any d.
rection. The people In Georgia are much op-
posed to guerilla wartare, and not likely to
harass our Lines In case the eastern portion of
the State Is occupied.
He confirms the stories Of suffering and
death among our prisoners at Andersonyille.
The Herdtds Washington special says, in
connection with shcrman's movement south: !:
It is significant that the Legislature Of Geor-
gia meets at Milledgeville about this time. In
that Legislature, 1t is understood, the Union
sentiment is strong, and some here high in
military position assert that, properly backed
up by large Union force, It will be in the
ascendancy, and that, q free expression Of
opinion thus secured nnder the protection Of
our army, they will repeal the ordinance Of
secession, and place Gcorgia beneath the
Union aag. It is not improbable that Sher-
man has been In communication with the par
tics In power there. and that there is IN un-
derstanding between him aud such parties,
which has been one reason for. the new cam
paigu.
