reasons. 1t occurred last Sunday morning One
corps Of the enemy and Kipatrick's cavalry at
tackled Wheeler ia strong position.
They came up boldly to the attack, aud made

THE SITUATION OF THE ARMY ON DECEMBER l.
From the augusta ChFonc'e and Sentinel December 2.
The situation, as indicated for Sherman, places
him between the Ogeechee and Savannah rivers,
in the neighborhOod of Millen, the junction of
the road from Augusta with the road from
Savannah TO Macon. Millen is seventy y-une
miles from Savannah and ffty-three from
Augusta. Sherman's situation is very difficult
one for forward movement in any direction.
He seems rather TO have thrown himself out of
the road to any point south of Savannah. But If
be march on that city, or attempt 70 cross the
Savannah river, and strike for Beaufort, he will
encounter difficulties which we can scarcely sup
pose he would voluntarily confront. His road
will lie through marshes, and easy of obstruction.
The Savannah river is ours, and the ferries are
through these obstacles, or encounter ethers

tion say that after Shermaus advance was driven
back on Tuesday, our scouts report Shermans
main body turned, and was moving off precpi-
lately In the direction of Brunswick.
A large column is also moving in the direction
Of Daren. Our forces are following them up
closely, and it is hoped will be able TO intercept
and capture large number before reaching the
coast.
1t is thought that Sherman will attempt to

THE ARMY CONCENTRATED ON DECEMBER 8
AND MARCHING SOUTHWEST OF hILLEN.
From the Richmond Whig, BeeemJsr6.
We have reason 10 believe, from all we have
heard, that Shermans army has united, and Is
marching with measured pace towards the
Atlantic coast, south or southwest OF Mlllen,
We also have reason to anticipate battle at some
point north or northwest Of Savannah ere the
close of the present week.
The Latest.
The Examiner continues to admit that Sherman
may reach the sea. coast. II he does so, the fleet
will find him and the remnant of his army in the
neighborhood of Brunswick where "the wild
