We print this morning highly interesting
details regarding Gen. SHxRMxns grant
campaign through Georgia. On the sec'
ond page will be found his order for march
ing and conduct of the troops, and direc-
tions for obtaining supplies. This order is
marked by the same practical good sense
and humanity which distinguish all his
productions. The army is to supply itself
mainly from the country through which it
passes. but where unmolested there is to
be no wanton destruction Of property the
men, in appropriating animals or forage,
are to discriminate "between the rich,
who are usually hostile, and the poor or
industrious, who are usually neutral or
friendly"; the negroes who can be of SER
vice are to be taken along, but command
ers are to bear in mind that the question
of supplies is very important one, and
that their first duty is to see to those who
bear arms. In other words. negro e'n."-

,veness of the army.
The appeals to the people Of Georgia
by General BEAuREeARD, the Georgia DEL
egates, and Senator HILL, of the rebel
Congress, show that SHERMAN's move
ments have created intense anxiety at
Richmond. BEAuREaARD calls on the
people to DISTRICT and destroy all the
roads on SHRRMANs TANKS and rear, and
assures them that bis army will soon
starve in their midst; and that he will
hasten to join them. The appeals from
the Congressman are of the same tenor.
These, in connection with the article from
the Richmond Sentinel evince fear in
Richmond that the Georgians "will not
exhibit spirit and devotion suitable to
the occasion" The Sentinel is almost pa
thetic in its description Of the sufferings
g, and heroism of Virginia, while Georgia is
chided for having drawn her into the vor-
tex of rebellion.
The latest news by telegraph CONFIRMS
the report that SHERMAN has visited Mil
ledgeville. He has destroyed charcoal works
and foundries at Griswoldville, about ID
miles east of Macon. tits probable that the
column destined to destroy the rebel
works at Macon, accomplished its work
without much opposition. 1t is stated that
most of the machinery which made At
lanta so important, was carried to Macon
before the former place fell into the hands
of SHERMAN. In September last the lower
part of the city, known as "basn," was
full to overlooking with machinery remov-
thence from Atlanta, and which by the
latter part of the month, was reported in
full operation. JEFF. DAVIS, in his speech
there in September last, spoke OF the i'm.
portance of the city as an arsenal,
granary and hospital, and only few
days sirce a Richmond paper al
luded to the existence at Macon Of
the Irrational armory and central labora-
tory of the Confederate States" These
important manufactures of the munitions
of war, go necessary to the prosecution OF
the war by the rebels, have doubtless fallen
into General SHKRMAN's hands and have
been rendered forever useless.
A portion of SHERMAN's force, on the
Goth, was reported at Buckshead, about
seventy miles from Augusta, which has
generally been supposed to be SHERMANs
next objective point. Here are situated
magnificent powder mills, arsenals, &c.
Augusta is one hundred and thirty-seven
miles from Charleston, and one hundred
and twenty miles northwest from Savan-
nah.
Thus far SHERMAN's march does not ap
pear to have been at all obstructed
by rebel forces, although desperate efforts
are being made to concentrate an army
sufficient to impede his march. BEAURE-
CARDS promise to hasten to the defence o.
Georgia will alarm nobody, for his dis
patch is dated at Corinth, nearly three
hundred miles distant, with no railroad
communications connecting Mention i
