ington special claims to have accurate in
information as to what rebel force can be
brought against Sherman. ~.t
Beauregard superseded Hardee when
that General left Savannah, and took his
force amounting to 5000 effective men,
while Hardee went to Charleston, where
there were not over two brigsdes. These
have since probably Joined Beauregard at
Wilmington. Bragg had not exceeding
8, 900 men. principally Holmes division.
These have fallen back towards Goldsboro,
between Wilmington aud Weldon. General
Baker had brigade over 5000 strong
At Salisbury, about two regiments were
stationed, guarding prisoners. The en-
tire force, therefore, that Beauregard
could concentrate, does not exceed %, 900
men. He has cavalry sufficient to swell
his force perhaps to 10000. If Sherman
forms a junction with Scho6eld, as he un-
doubtedy will, it is safe to say his force
will be far superior to Beauregard's con-
centrated strength and all the aid he may
get from Richmond

mean traitor in the county of Gilmer. You
place our motives at 9 very low standard,

were fighting out old feuds of years
