4 correspondent writes from the Ceor-
gia front to the Chronicle ard .Scaiiaez
of the 7th as follows:
The Federal lines extend from point
near the north side Of the Georgia Rail-
road 70 small creek few hundred yards
south Of the Sandtnwn road. sSee large
map af Georgia, late editicn.1 The works
south Of the railroad have been absadon-
ed, and SCOUT jus: in reports only weak
force occupying their works OF. tier ex-
tferne left, north Of the road. This cor
responds with what has been believed for
some .davs-tha. Sherman is gradually
moving bis whola army to the right, with
the intention Of ultima tcly placing bis
main lire across the railEsad between the
city ard East Point, which is the June
tGre Of oGr rear communication. Should
he succeed in this, you can easily con-
ciude what would be the conseqnence--
