Sherman has yet. been mado public."? t So sp eculati<?ne concerning the whereabouts of 1 Sherman ?till continue.* The la?t and most c positive is from the Louisville Journal. The s editor of that paper professes to be fully ad vised of General Sherman's plans, but down to t the 14th instant he regarded it as highly iin portant that no publication of them should be r made, lie now eontr?i?15<?to *1.-.. uiu ataicifttvni Hiilt v Sherman burned Atlanta, but confirms the re- t port that he destroyed the railroad between Atlanta and Chattanooga and removed the c iron. That paper further says : 1 General Sherman having* made his disposi- | tions for meeting Hood's force on the Tonnes- v see river, started for Macon, Andcrsonville and other points which he designed to take on his wuj tu ci?nboflrd. at Charleston or Savan- ^ nah.- His force is set down at sixty ttiuuanml' P inen, and is supplied with rations for thirty 0 days. This account leaves General Thomas 11 with a force entirely sufficient to take care of Hood wherever lie may choose to go. 1 " The Philadelphia Inquirer, in an article spec- u ofating upon Sherman's designs, says : ^ The latest intelligence froimJLIood's army is ' contained in a Nashville telegram of the 10th, 51 which says that the 'rebel, force under that im- 11 pnlsivc and erratic General is still on the Ton- t nessec, near Florence, one of his corps being 11 on the north side of the river, and the whole p held in check by the condition of the roads.? v Elis entire strength is p.laccd at thirty thousand. 1 That is rather too round a figure to be accept* } od as reliable; we therefore give the following 11 estimates, made by an eye witness while 11 . Hood was on his march from Georgia to Ala- v bama.:: v a S. D. corps, 7,500 t Cheatham's corps, . 5,000 Stewart's corps, 8,000 Dick Taylor's anriy; 8,000 r Cavalry, * s Total, ' . 33,504 11 a He baa also with hiin sixtv-two pieces .of r artillery, chiefly six and twelve pounders. o Wc 11013- presume that with all these state- li incuts from the West, concurring upon two main points, viz: that Thomas is left to eon- n front Hood, and that Sherman has broken up the railroad behind hiin, Sherman is r< ally n<l- j] * vancing toward the acaeoast. He has the whole r, interior of Georgia and South ('aiolina before |, him, and, beyond all doubt, will strike at the ji most vital points, but every loyal heart will r, wish him God speed towards Andersonville. t, where the shocking cruelties inflicted on our cj suffering soldiers in captivity has tuadc the country one great grave yard. j lie has rations for thirty days, but lie is jj inarching through a country heretofore untouch r, ed by the war, and will he able to feed his c, forces to n large extant off the enemy.
