THE NEWS.
sHERMANs MOVEMENTS

I,,S, entirely from the various points upon which
ne had demonstrated, and was fastening with all
possible rapidity towards kngsville or Columbia
possibly both. All movements towards Brauchyille,
Charleston aud Augusta, seem 10 have been aban-
,5oued. From Blscksyills aud Orsngebmg there Is
an excellent county road, and as Sherman appears
10 have got somewhat the start OF our forces, con-
siderable apprehensioUs were felt gt Columbia that
ne would reach there before be could DC overtaken.
The Cougaree. q considerable stream, has 10 be
crossed before reaching either hiugsvile OF Column
bia but sherman has pcu0On trains and an efficient
engineer corps with him, and crosses streams with
surprising facility.
Extensive preparations were being made at Co
lumbia TO receive the great tanker and it was
hoped that he would be at least held in heck until
our forces could come W.
sherman IS said 20 have very large army, and
lie may d.yide-seudng one column to Giugsyille
and the other 70 Columbia. This would enable him
10 destroy the Columbia aud Charlotte and Viii
Iaiugtou and Manchester Railroads at ouS and the
same time; provided be is not checked.
Il IS also sisted that Sherman is but little encUm-
bered With coiunissary aud Quartermas;er trains.
Relying upon his great success in GSorga, he feeds
his men and horses of the country as be moves,
and all that they do no; consume, he destroys.
