s~HERMANs FIRST DESTINATION AsDERsoxy1ILr.
Never during the wal has the South been taken 40
completely AZ a disadvantage; and with the legs OF
such soldiers az Sherman has ne can 20 any where he
may desire. To the right lies Montgomery, Mobile aud
Columbus. The two first ara the supply depots Of
Beauregard. The last Is the great arsenal of the South.
Within . few hours' march Is Andsrsonvils, the great
rebel pen 10 which 10000 of our men are ooL6ued as
prisoners and treated "a dogs. Sherman is not likely
to pass il By. II may be considered Q 6xsd fact that,
whether Mobile, or Savannah, or Charleston be his
destination, General. sherman will take AndersonVillo
in his way. Savannah lies 10 the left, only fifteen days
march. OharIeston is In the same direction, and not
over twenty Ave days distant. Let him 60 whichever
route he may, he can reach the ocean or the Gulf with.
