s movements have, as usual, been altogether too rapid to admit of the contemplated concentration.
[The writer had not heard of that little whipping Bragg gave the Newbern force last week.]
Another letter says:
From General Sherman nothing positively has been heard since the 24th of February. He was then at Camden, on the Wateree river, one hundred and ten miles, on air line, southwest of Fayetteville, or about one hundred and twenty-five miles by the main travel road through Cheraw.
His cavalry are almost certainly in Fayetteville by this time, and the infantry in close proximity.
Supplies will await him at that point should he touch it, sent up the Cape Fear river by Schofield.
The Yankees captured Georgetown, South Carolina, a little town on the coast, and in the official report of it the naval commander says:
I have directed Commander Creighton to proceed carefully up Black river, and have dispatched the tug Catalpa, with Lieutenant-Commander Henry and
hrough the woods. --Companies of foragers were sent out in all directions to procure supplies.
The army consisted of four corps--the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth and Twentieth, besides Kilpatrick's cavalry.
The rations of the soldiers appeared to be short, and those who were held as prisoners suffered for food — our informant going four or six days without anything to eat.
Our informant, Dr. Glover, was held as a prisoner until the Yankee army reached Lynch's creek, between and Cheraw, in or near Chesterfield district, when he was released by General Blair, commander of the Seventeenth corps.
From the direction the army was then marching, he thinks they were making for Georgetown.
The talk among the soldiers was, that they were going to Georgetown, but there was no certainty about their destination.
The Yankee cavalry remained a few days in Lancaster district, foraging and plundering, and were met two or three times by our cavalry and scattered.
On Sunday morning,
too late to capture Colonel Richardson, of Lee's Staff, and four soldiers, who had just left there — they having vamoosed just as the Don hove in sight.
Sherman's movements.
A dispatch from Washington to the Baltimore American, dated the 11th inst., says:
A letter dated Wilmington, March 6th, was received here to day, in which it is stated in positive terms, that a scout from Sherman's army had reached General Terry's headquarters, who left our forces in occupation of Cheraw, South Carolina, the terminus of the Cheraw and Darlington Railroad, and but very few miles from North Carolina.
Nothing but cavalry skirmishes had taken place.
The army had rested for some days, and had found very fair subsistence along the route.
The advance into North Carolina was a certainty, this letter adds, by the first of March.
The scout started for Newbern; but learning of the occupation of Wilmington, reached that place much sooner.--The source of this intelligence is perfectly c
cuation of Fayetteville.
The following interesting account of the evacuation of Fayetteville is taken from the Biblical Recorder:
When General Sherman started on his raid from Savannah, it was generally believed in military circles that he would follow the course of the railroad from Columbia to Charlotte.
Preparations were made to check him before he reached the latter place.
On arriving at Chester, he turned his column to the right, captured Camden, and moved on the main road to Cheraw.
General Hardee was compelled to evacuate the town and retreat to Rockingham.
He was then ordered by General Johnston to fall back upon Fayetteville.
On reaching the vicinity, on Wednesday, the 8th, he took a position six miles from town, where he was reinforced by the command of Lieutenant-General Hampton.
It was believed that a stand would be made and the place defended.
It did seem that the splendid arsenal, the seven cotton and three oil factories, etc., made it a place of sufficien
