The Enemy Repulsed at oconee.


An official despatch was received in Sa-
vannah, stating That the enemy, with a
large force, had fanked General Wayne at
Oconee Bridge, G, R. R.. and compelled
him to retire, and furthermore, that the
former had crossed bis forces at Ball's Fer:
ry, some four miles below the bridge
This was most unwelcome pews, and pro-
duced many long faces. 49,.
At late hour on Wednesday night,
however, the Republican was favored with
the following despatch to-. Gen. Hardee,
who is now in Savannah, oontaining+ the
cheering news that the enemy had been re-
pulsed and driven across the river:
p AUGUSTA, 9 P. NJ, Nov. 23.-Lieut.
Gen. Hardee, Savannah: Maj. Hartridge
has driven the enemy back across, the Oco-
nee River. Gen. Wayne has returped to
the bridge and opened the Office there.
-. =. j. BRENNER, Superintendent.
We have information that the enemys
cavalry, 600 to 1000 strong, is moving on
Sparta. They encamped last Thursday
night.about seven miles South of Sparta.
- Another column is moving from Milledge-
Vile with artillery. 1t crossed the Oeonee,
and pursuing the road leading through
Washington County, by the way of San
dersyille, will strike the Central Railroad
about Station No. IA. This is direct
line to Savannah from Milledgeville.
A column supposed to be siocum's, num-
bering from two to three thousand infantry,
is reported to be moving in conjunction
with the cavalry above mentioned, on Spar
ia. At Sparta there are swo roads, one
leading to Augusta via Mayfeld-another
to Sandersville. Should this audacious
raiding party come this way, we are pre-
pared to bestow a proper and becoming
chastisement. 1t is probable, however,
that, after ravaging the country about Spar
ia, it will combine with the column moving
on the road to Savannah.
Gen. Hardee telegraphs that he had left
Macon perfectly secure. From Macon he
went to Savannah to make certain disposi.
tions in that quarter. He is now where
his services are demanded.
A lamentable state of ignorance seems to
exist as to the whereabouts Of Shermau'a
main body. 1t appears to US that reliable
scouts from Greensboro or SandersVille
ought to know something about it. We
hope our Generals are alive to the impor.
taace Of such knowledge and have exerted
themselves to acquire it. While VIC are
tria;ug with small detachments, the enemy
10 bulk may be slipping away. We do not
want him to Glide off with impunity. After
such berculean efforts to administers drub'
bipg, it would be q pity to have him loose

THE SITUATION.

The latest reliable intelligence from the
direction of Macon comes from our scouts
sent out from Sparta. These scouts, who
came in last evening, report that body Of
from 600 to LOCO Yankee cavalry had
crossed the 0ccnsaj and were moving slow.
t ly and nervously towards Sparta.
One of the most encouraging features Of
this "iuvasion" is the fact, which we have
from the most. sundoubted testimony, that
hundreds Of the enemy are struggling from
their main bodies and searching for some.
body to take them into custody, They are
sprawling all about the country, and those
who are not willing to surrender can. be
beautifully bushWhaoked. Let all the old
and young folks turn out and give the ras-
Gala taste of Georgia State sovereignty.-
This generalization of our enemy is most
providential for Us, and ought to stiHen the
back. bone Of the most timid amongst us.
:, Three hundred. prisoners arrived last
evening from up the Georgia Road, and
four hundred more are to arrive to-day
These prisoners report that division Of
three thousand of our cavalry has followed
them, all the way, dashing npon them CON.

intercepted the enemy at a point, at present
uhmentionable, and is giving. them no rest,

The main body of the enemy is moving
down the Western side of the Oconee, and
has shown no disposition, thus far, to at
tempt its passage. =. ~ e.. ,.g~a... 49,
From Milledgeville We learn that the
battalion of artillery and cavalry have gone
forward to Macon. The Governor has par
doned all the oonsiots in the penitentiary,
put arms in their hands and sent them to
the front, except those put in for life, whom
be could not reprieve according to law. i.
The able.bodied citizens, artizans, &C.,
have also been sent forward. So should
every man in the State able to bear arms
now go, or be forced to 60.
The skies are Frightening. Everything
looks glorious, and ere long, Mr.. Sherman
will get lashing that he little dreamed of
when he made his "0n to the Gulf" The
