Heavy Forgery.

New YORK, Nov. H.-Sup't Kennedy, Of
the Me tropolitan Police, has become aware
of certain extensive forgeries which have
been committed in New York and other
States, about six weeks ago. He gave the
case in charge of some detectives of this
city, to be worked out. They have since
been diligently on it with very satisfactory
results. Four of the party have been ar,
rested, and others are still at large. One OF
those arrested, named Couglen, has turned
states evidedce, and yesterday gave testi'
rnony against others. The investigation of
one Of the cases was commenced in tho
Police Court yesterday, and was continued
so-day. This case involves the forgery of
the name of Richard d. Lathrop, of this
,city, on check on which the money was
drawn from the Bank of Commerce. The
whole sum of the forgeries is supposed to
amount to about $4,000.

vile correspondent dated 18th, says that
one column of Sherman's army left Atlanta
on the 9th, taking the Macon road and will
pass through Milledgeville, and probably
will make an effort to release the Union
prisoners. The second column left on Sat
urday last, taking the direct road to Au-
gusta, which will be reached in IA days.
The two columns will concentrate there
and move on Charleston, Savannah or
Beaufort, as may be deemed proper ,Beau-
fort was the original destination. The Ma
con and Augusta railroads are to be efiec-
tually destroyed as the army proceeds
Sherman carries sixty DAYS rations in bread
and beef, and for his other sustenance he
will depend upon the country. Atlanta has
been rendered untenable; such buildings
as could be benefit to the enemy were
destroyed, but no others. Sherman will
meet no enemy on his way. The Georgia
militia are few in numbers and harmless.
About 1000 troops besides militia are at
Savannah. This correspondent states that
the army consists of four corps with 10000
cavalry, in all AZ 900 men.
