WHICH WAY MKT

Now that Sherman Is in full possession OF
Savannah and is able to leave that point to be
held by our gunboats, supported by a small
garrison, to march with his grand army to
fresh conquests, the question Of Where nextv
comes up in every mind. We see that some OF
the Northern papers are di vided in opinion as
to whether he will march first to Augusta or
Charleston.
There is sufficient depth of water in the So.
vannan river at this time of the year for yes.
sells Of $50 tons to 60 up to Augusta, but as the
OF the way, are high and commanding, it Is
doubtful If gunboats could get up there, ex-
posed as they would be to a plunging fire from
rebel batteries, unless o land force marched no
in CO operation.
AS Sherman has already completely de-
strcyed the rebel interior railroad communica.
tons via Augusta, not much could be attained
by going there beyond destroying the rebel
manufactures there Nor in cur opinion will
the capture Of Charleston be considered by
Sherman Of equivalent Importance to the ad-
vantages to be gained by direct march inte-
riorward into South Carolina and thence III TO
North Carolina. Stategicaly considered,
Branchville, South Carolina, "a very impor-
tapt railroad center, sixty two miles north west
Charleston, Augusta or Savannah; and once
seated there, he could open ready comm unIca-
ton with the sea at Beaufort. Charleston, in
that event, must fall into our hands at any
time like a ripe pear.
