the country in which Sherman is now operating. We will endeavor to make it as clear as we can: Two railroads, besides the Chattanooga, which runs north, have their rise in Atlanta. The Georgia railroad runs nearly due east, strikes the South Carolina boundary at Hamburg; becomes thence the South Carolina railroad, and terminates in Charleston. The Macon railroad runs from Atlanta due south to Barneville; thence at right angles to its former course in an easterly direction to Macon. Thenlieved that Sherman himself pursued the Macon railroad until he came to Griffin, several miles above Barneville, and thence struck across to Gordon, avoiding Macon altogether, and by this movement placing his whole force in the rear of it. The Georgia railroad terminates at Augusta. Hamburg, the South Carolina town, is on the opposite side of the river. We give these positions merely that the reader may be enabled to judge between the conflicting accounts he will find in the newspapers.

He cannot have in his train, for ammunition alone, less than three hundred wagons, and at least three hundred more for daily forage and provisions, allowing his men to carry all they eat. With this train he must, at all events, move slowly and very carefully. In the meantime, our troops, scattered everywhere, can be collected. South Carolina, who is threatened if anything is threatened, can send forward her reserves; Florida has troops to spare, and, joining with our twelve or fourteen thousand troops between Macon and the advancing enemy, will make a force able to meet him in the neighborhood of the last named city, or somewhere on the Oconee river. It is desperation on the part of Sherman; and a desperate man is always readily overcome by calm and determined action. We say, look at the situation without nervousne
