4 bit ofriquant army gossip has been eo
freely talked about here for the last two or
three days, That 1t is certain to be pnt In
print somewhere, and may therefore bc rs
well printed in the Gazette.
Gen. Grant came up from the army last
Thnreday, greatly dissatisfied with General
Thcmas' pfotracfed retreat before Hood, and
thinking seriously Of goin, West I,msetinnd
taking the command Of that army. Lie had
before telegrnphcd to Thomas several times,
demonstrating against the retreat, and in.
sisting upon IN Instant resumption ofoflen-
eive movements. On consultation, however,
he decided to stpersedc Thomas, and order
ed John A. Logan to Nashville to take the
command. Subsequently this order was
conntcrmandcd by telegraph, and, instead,
rc.emptory order was tclegraphed Thomas to
attack Rood at once.
Il is scarcely necessary to add that the
brilliant victory which was being won while
this dissatisfaction was At Its hicsht has more
than removed It and "CoEinthian Tlomas''

WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER es. 1851,


The details Of Shcrman's grand march from
Atlanta TO the Atlautic, which We print else
where, will be read with avidity in the light
Of the consummation Of the great expedition
ut Savannah. The narrative is taken from
the diary OF an officer who accompanied The
expedition, and therefore possesses the merit
ofaccuracy and freshness Of style which a
narrative taken from second hand could not
have. It gives the lie TO the bonbastic ut
tcranccs Of the rebel journals and to the no
less ah ocious statements Of such northern
prints us the. n. Y. Ford, that sherman's
army was dcmoralized and struggling, that 1t
was out Of provisions and the men disheart-
cncd, that it's columns were harrasscd and de-
feated, and that II it arrived at the sea coast,
II would only be Us disoTganizcd mob fleeing
for safety. Instead Of that 1t was like the
victorious marches Of Caesar md Pcrseus, car
ry1ng terror aud dfsmay wherever Its eagles
appeared, winning victory at every blow, and
emerging with its long trains Of captiyes,
Spills and slavcs-slaycs unlike the Roman
cnptivcs, for they came in, chainless and dis
cnthra]lcd. We arc too deeply interested in
thc events Of the day: they crowd upon us
too rapidly aEd suddenly our hearts are en-
gnged rather linn our intcllccls, SO that we
cannot calmly sit down aud gauge this mira-
Gle rs purely military movement, direstcd
Of it's immediate influences which so closely
