He INTENDS TO CROSS THE TENNESSEE

/
From the Richmond Wing. Oct. 2sl
The most definite news from North
western Georgia is furnished US by q
"special" to the Mail, dated az Jack
sonville, Ala, October Is, which states
that on the previous evening General
| Beauregard was serenaded, and ap-
peared before a large audience of citi-
zens and soldiers. He assured them
thai thus far all is well, and that our
army has captured Resacca, Dalton
and Ringold. The loss has been slight
The Selma Reporter contains letter
dated jacksonville, Ala, October Is,
which says On Wednesday our caval-
ny had slight engagement with the
enemy near Rome, and drove them
across the river. On the next day the
enemy came across, and near Rome
had another engagement with. our
cavalry and drove them back. We
think none but Armistead's brigade
were engaged, and it is reported that
they became panic stricken, and many
of them were captured, and also three
pieces of artillery that were with the
brigade
The stragglers to the rear, as usual in
such cases, reported the brigade
all killed, wounded and captured,
and the enemy advancing in large
force.
General Hoods plans seem to be a
mystery to all Some think he intends
crossing the Tennessee.
Everything seems to be going on well
for US, SO far as we can see or learn.
General Beauregard's headquarters
are here General N. l. Smith, Chief
Engineer of the Army of Tennessee IS
also here
The Montgomery Advertiser of the
l9tb says the men moving to the front
are perfectly wild with enthusiasm. On
the march from Palmetto to Cedartown
many of them wore out and threw
away their shoes. They were sent to |
the Blue Mountain to get new ones,
but upon arriving there none had come |
up. They refused to wait for them a
few days, but pressed forward bare |
footed, saying that General Hood might !
need them, and they were detG rmined |
to see the campaign through.
My news from the eaemy Is that he |
marching up the other side Of the
and Atlanta Railroad, but /
has up to this time been unable to at
all interfere with our line of march
The Columbus Enquirer has adyices
direct from the army to the 10th inst
According to its information Sherman's
army was at Kingston and Rome, and
along line embracing those two points
A part o.. our forces were then at Dali
ton and another part at Resacea If the
statement as TO the location of Sher-
mans main army Is correct, portion
of General Hood army were operating
above them, and had occupied positions
on the railroad between them and
Chattanooga
We are advised. says the Enquirer,
that the presence of large body of
Yankee cavalry between Centre and
Rome, coupled with the shortness Of ra-
tions for a march impeded by cavalry,
had induced change of the intended
point OF crossing the CoOsa river by our
and wagon trains, and that
they had crossed at a point lower down
the river. This, we presume, Is all the
verse of part of our forces.
The country through which our army
has marched abounds in corn, wheat,
peas, potatoes, syrup, live stock, &c.i
but the soldiers were forbidden to com
nit depradations, and just compensa-
ton was paid for Whatever was furnish
ed to the army.
The Columbus Sun states, upon the
authority Of officers connected with the
army, that as we progress northward
our numbers increase. When the army
sell back to Atlanta numbers Of men
who lived in the northern portions OF
.he State went back to their homes
they are now returning to their cOlors.
1t is stated, upon the same authority,
hat over one hundred deserters have
'eturned to their commands from the
of Lick Skillet, little
,illage in Northwestern Georgia Har-
lees corps alone has been recruited
nearly three thousand.
