sHERMAN's GREAT MOVE.

0HEkM ANS GREAT MOVE
Sherman has no doubt entered upon the
boldest campaign Of the war. The rebels
thought to drive him out Of Georgia by
getting in his rear. but they made great
and fatal mistake. Sherman was able to
send Thomas to look after Hood and Beau
regard, with an army greater than any
force the rebels could muster, while he
! himself took fifty thousand picked mon,
infantry. and ten or fifteen thousand
cavalry, and marched right into the
heart of the Confsderacy, left entirely
defanceless. The great mistake of the reb-
els was in under estimating Sherman's ar
INV. He was able to divide II and still
have in either division more men than
Beauregard. Theresultis Beauregard finds
himself now in Tennessee, with Thomas
between him and Sherman with aforce that
he cannot cope With, and is driven to proc
lamations of the Santa Anna God and Lib
erty style. Whether he will be able to
vanquish Sherman's veterans with these
paper missives remains to be seen. In the
meantime it is very evident the Johnny
REDS are excited-they are stirred up-they
are terribly telligerent on paper-they ex-
hort one another to deeds Of daring
they talk of pitching into Sherman upon
both TANKS, front and rear-of burning
bridges. blocking up roads, destroying for
age-lay;ng waste the heart of their lovely
Confederacy. But we have no Information
that they have done it yet to any considera-
BILE extent. We rather think they have not
and will net.
We rather think Sherman is stilf march-
ing on-that he has taken Macon and Mil |
ledgeville and sent the rebel Legislature |
flying to places of safety. He viii soon be |
heard Of at Augusta. But here he may
meet with resistance. The rebs will no
doubt send men from Richmond and gather |
up all that can be spared from Charleston,
Savannah and Mobile. Whether they will
be able to muster . force at Augusta in time |
to meet Sherman or not remains to be seen. |
In fact it is q question whether they can
get nm army together any whore large en-
ough to resist him successfully.

BROWNSVILLE, Ark, Nov. ii, 1864.
EDITOR HAWK. EYE-Before this reaches
you, you will have the result of the cleo.
ton in the Iowa regiments. I propose Il
give you few stray items from this point
In the first place must mention that on
that memorable morning, the 8th of No.
vember, and while the people of Iowa were
in the delights Of the dro,osy god, it being
the witching hour of l o'clock, A. NJ, the
Esd was busy polling their votes, principally
for Abraham. You may ask what was the
use of getting up at o'clock, in the morn.
ing to vote, when any other hour of the day
would suit as we'll. will simply answer
that-we were at Duvall's Bluffs at the
time and were under orders to move at a
moments warning. Our Colonel, s. L.
Glasgow and Lieut.. Col. Clark, thinking
of strategy, took the above plan for getting
around the enemy and securing Abraham
a good vote, which would undoubtedly be
in some manner less, if We had 10 move in
the morning without taking the vote. We
had nearly all OF the votes pOlled at six
o'clock, in the morning. Lieut.. Col. Clark,
Capt. J. j. Van Houten, and Capt. Littell,
all OF the 23d Iowa, constituting the judges
OF the election. The result of the election
was 3S2 votes cast, 3i2 for Lincoln, and 40
for Mcclellan, Lincoin's majority 3O2.
The Goth Iowa gave heavier vote, being
i33. For Lincoin 400, Mcclellan "A, Lin.
coins majority 3s5. So you see Mcclellan
is considerably below Gresnhacks among
the soldiers down this way.
We arrived at this point on the 10th inst.
after travelling about Is miles through mud
and having the not very pleasant satisfac-
ton OF seeing the cars pass US quietly by,
while we had to take it on foot through the
mud. We are encampsd about half mile
south Of Brownsville in the woods and
about two and a half miles from the rail.

that we pass through in this country, moth
