say this latter report is corroborated by other evidence. Sherman will, we think, meet with opposition he does not calculate upon before he reaches the fortifications of Macon. These works, should he ever reach them, he will find of the most formidable character, and with the troops that before that time will be collected in them, they must give him a vast deal more trouble than he evidently counts upon. If the Georgians will battle for their trenches as the Petersburg militia did last June for theirs, or the Richmond militia did at Staunton river bridge, later in the summer, Macon will be saved. In undertaking this expedition, Sherman is too prudent a man to rely upon subsisting his army on the country. It becomes interesting and important to consider what point he calculates upon making his base of supplies. His destruction of the railroad northwest of Atlanta proves that he has cut loose from the Chattanooga base. He must, then, be looking to some point on the Atlant

fficial reports that were in circulation during yesterday. If they be true, the destruction of the railroad can be understood, though it will still appear a superfluous labor. The reports had it that Sherman, having burnt Atlanta on the 15th, last Tuesday, had set out for Macon with three corps, amounting together to thirty-five thousand men, and that he had, on yesterday, reached Jonesboro', twenty-two miles south of Atlanta.--If there is truth in these accounts, as we believe there is, Wheeler has much to answer for. It devolved upon him to watch Sherman and keep posted as to his movements. Only four days ago he reported him "moving towards Bridgeport." Now, it is said, he reports him moving towards Macon, as above stated. We regret to say this latter report is corroborated by other evidence.

Grant (search for this): article 1
The War News. There was nothing of importance done on the lines before Richmond and Petersburg yesterday. The bombardment of Dutch gap was kept up in fine style, and the booming of the guns was heard distinctly in our streets. There is a general impression, gathered chiefly from hints dropped by the Yankee press, that Grant is preparing for the final grand movement of the campaign in Virginia, which it is confidently hoped by the Yankee people is to end the war by taking Richmond. Constant and repeated failure seeming to have no effect upon him, we know of no reason why he should not make another attempt to dislodge our army. As Butler's canal is not yet finished, an attack on our centre is hardly to be thought of, and his next attack will probably be, to some extent, a repetition of his last, except it will, we think, be the last reversed; that is, he will assault with his heaviest columns on the north side. His experience on the south side should satisfy him there is nothi

e only official information received by the press yesterday was that Sherman had destroyed the Northwestern and Atlantic railroad from Atlanta to Altoona, the Chattahoochee bridge included. This movement is difficult to understand, except as explained by unofficial reports that were in circulation during yesterday. If they be true, the destruction of the railroad can be understood, though it will still appear a superfluous labor. The reports had it that Sherman, having burnt Atlanta on the 15th, last Tuesday, had set out for Macon with three corps, amounting together to thirty-five thousand men, and that he had, on yesterday, reached Jonesboro', twenty-two miles south of Atlanta.--If there is truth in these accounts, as we believe there is, Wheeler has much to answer for.

His experience on the south side should satisfy him there is nothing to be hoped from an advance in that quarter. He may argue that, if he could throw two corps on the Williamsburg and Nine-Mile roads at the points essayed by the Eighteenth corps on the 27th ultimo, he might effect a lodgment. It is said he is already mustering his forces for the fray, and deserters report that he has been reinforced by a portion of Sherida command from the Valley; but this we shall not implicitly credit until it comes to us through some less questionable channel. From Petersburg we have nothing of interest. The Yankees continue their raids and depredations into Surry and the neighboring counties, and are treating the inhabitants with unusual barbarity — the

They have turned their stock in the cemetery, and have not only pulled up the tombstones and overthrown the monuments, but broken them in pieces and desecrated the graves. They had taken possession of all the churches in the place, as hospitals, except the Episcopal, which they said was too damp for the patients. Sheridan has, without doubt, sent away a portion of his force, and they have, it is said, arrived at City Point.--This information comes from deserters, as well as from our own scouts. Another informant says some of them have been put into Fort Harrison. There is evidently a great scheme on foot, and the Yankees are determined to spare no efforts to render it successful.
