EE The Old Folks Concert. wit

81 The Old Folks Concert, with oys-
ter supper accompaniment, held at Gov
entry last Friday, was decided success
in all respects for which great credit is
due TO the energy and good management
of those who had the matter in charge,
as well as TO the choir of singers, whose
performances constituted the chief attrac-
ton Of the occasion. Notwithstanding
the badness of the travelling, nearly 800
persons attended the concert, the major

Can Lee Check Sherman 2

Rebel papers report that il Gen. Lee Il
appointed generalissimo Of the confeder.
ate forces, he will leave Bcauregard 10
command of the defenses of Richmond
and at once proceed South and take the
field in person against Sherman, whose
movements he views with great alarm,
as threatening the vital points OF the con.
federacy, and likely, If unopposed, to COM
pei the evacuation OF Richmond. There
can be no doubt that this report is true,
so far as Gen Lees estimation of the
danger impending the Confsderacy from
Sherman's advance, but this danger 10
one that he is poweress TO avert. Gen.
Lee is not likely 10 60 Sou,h to oppose
Sherman until be can take 40 army with

of resisting the march Of seventy tbous-
and seasoned soldiers, whose onset will
be irresistible because of their implicit
faith in their great captain, whoe name
is almost become synonym for overpowl
ering success. Such an army as Lee 70.
quires he cannot take from Richmond,
for Grant could speed troops faster by
water than the rebel General could by
the worn-out and paiched-up railways
of the Carolinas, and the hurrying off Of
any large number Of bis veterans would
be the signal for our troops TO come pour.

Lee can hope for no help from Hood, for
Gen. Thomas with victorious army, is

west side of the Tennessee river, close TO

most as incapable Of sending any aid TO
Lee as Kirby Smith who is beyond the
Mississippi river. Under the most fa-
vorable circumstances Hood could rot,
even if he eluded Thomas, place himself
in communication with Lee under four
weeks, which is ample time for Sherman
to strike blow that would seal the late

Georgia. Sherman, then, is likely, when
he starts, 10 meet but little more opposi-
tiou than he encountered 10 his march on
Savannah, for If Lee could have stayed
his progress, surely the work was easier
then than now. Surely Lee has most
difficult problem TO solve, viz, when biz
own forces are numerically inferior TO
Grants, how to save the Confederacy
from the attacks Of Gen. Sherman, now
at liberty TO push bis sixty odd thousand
