| We are still without any official information con-
| ccmiug SHFHMAN's movements in Georgia; but we
| are not entirely without authentic adyices on
| the subject SHERMAN was yesterday still wost OF
the OcOnee River, OF the Tributaries of tho Alta
| maha, which runs south through the eastern centre
OF the State of Georgia Milledgcvillo - situated
the east bank Of this stream. IL s believed that the
| enemy has been 10 hllodgGyillc, though
| pretty well assured that official information OF
the TACT has been received at the War Department,
In the only brush hear Of our troops having with
the enemy, they have been entirely successful.
I This affair occurred JonesbOrO, where tho
| Central Georgia Railroad running from Macon to
Savannah, crosses the OcOnco RIVER A cOnsidera-
bic body OF the enemy's cavalry attempted to
| 20 the cast bank of the Oconeo ~ this point, on
| Wednesday morning, but were met by our troops
| and driven back The situation in Georgia is re-
carded IN official circles decidedly encouraging
There As one fact in the camuaCn which we think
should give much ground Tor hope; that H. the slow
progress made by SHERMAN. lie Is in his fit
teeuth day iiom Atlanta and has yet marched only
atout seventy-hye miles, aud has not reached one
point OF strategic importance Perhaps he does not
now as when he started out on the exp edition, feel
himself positively master OF the situation. We
shan hear more from him in the next day or two.
