The Richmond papers Of Tuesday

"Sherman is near Savannah,prob.
ably not five miles distant; he has not
yet made an attack, 1t is still doubt
full whether he will do so, or mike for

THE SITUATION,

Tho latest Intelligence from Sher-
mans Army is thtOagh Richmond
papers Of Tuesday, announcing that
our forces are within FIVE miles Of Sa-
vannah in Inc Of battle. It's stated
that Sherman is confronted by con
siderable rebel force, ORd that ho had
not opened communication with the
coast. .' -
From the most reliable accounts
his march has been grand triumphal
procession, through II land flowing
with milk and honey. IIc was un,
opposed except by such an insignif
cant force as the cavalry under
Wheeler, and his compact and splen-
didly equipped legions swept all cen
trail Georgia clear Of grain, forage,
horses, mules and negroes. Far off
his coming sounded, and u univeral
and tremendous panic spread before
him. II is estimated that hc gathered
in his march two able-bodicd negroes
for every white man in the ranks,
and that his army will reach
tho coast with abundance of supplies
and ammunition, and in splendid
fighting condition. Ii is also reported
that no has released 10000 Union
prisoners on his way. 'r
Sherman said before leiving At
lanta that he had tho best Army IL
the world. In his hands the vigorous
and Intelligent mon Of the West arC
invincible and cover themselves with
glory, They hcwed their way over {
series of mountaiU ridges from Chat
tanooga to Atlanta, pressing thu
rebel army steadily before them
and then shouldrred their muskcti
and went on q march of over thro,
hundred miles through the Vory hOar
Of the cnemys country.
Conjecture Is still busy as to TIL,
object of this grand march, Th,
prevalent notion is that Sherman will
reinforce Grant and that togethe
they will fall upon tho rebel capita
and virtually crush the rebellion at
blow, 1t is more likely, however
that he will establish base on tn
coast, and operate against GeorgI
and South Carolina, cutting them o.
from communication with Richmond
From Nashville the only report
that in consequence of the sover
weather OF tho past week, there ha
been no demonstration by either arm

LATEST STORY OF THE PRESIDENT

The Alexandria (Virginia) State
Journal, gives the following good story,
as having beon related to ono of it's
editors Just before the Presidential
election, when many of the soldiers
about Washington were furloughed in
oroer that they might return to their
homes and exercise the right OF voting,
a private wearing Mcclellan badge
on his breast, appeared at the trans
portation Office with his turlough aud
requisite transportation to the North.
For somo reason or other, probably
because the zeal Of the officials outran
their sense of justice, the soldier was
for day or two unable to obtain tho
requisite transportation, He saw others
passed rapidly by the board, but was
not able to abtain a hearing himself
At length, disgusted with the long do
Hay, resulting evidently from the un!
fairness of the official, he determined
TO appeal directly to the President
himself, Upon being admitted TO the
President, he told him in brief terms
the story Of his delay at the transpor-
tation Office, and the object Of his visit
to the White House, prefacing tho
whole by q candid declaration that he
was a Mcclellan man, and was going
homo to vote for Mcclellan. Mr.. Lin
