Would Lose Fifty Thousand Dollars.
?A Main* officer recently applied for a furlough,
stating that if it was not granted be
hould lose fifty thousand dollars. ' Tbis attracted
attention at headquarters, and the ofl(L
ceif V&s desired to forward a statement of how
he would lose it. He did so to the eficot that
ho had been in the army without a leave of absence
for two years j that he was engaged to a
yonng lady worth fifty thousand dollars j that
there was another fellow after her, and that she
had written to him that if be did not como ]
Lome and marry her right away she would
have the other n an. lie got his furlough.
A wag on hearing that a man had given up
chimney-sweeping, expressed surprise, as ho
V' thought the business sooted him.

eel so hard that she feared he would have "bust

All the hotels and the stores from Wesloy Chapei on

- Soon after tho Innikees left it tho country people in

Tho Savannah Republican in speaking of his movements,
Says that iho "whereabouts of ShertnauHj roaiu
body has been satisfactorily ascertained, and his movements
indicate anything but decision of purposo as to
his destination. Without entering into particulars,
we would simply say that the signs are that uiauj people
who linvo heou unduly alarmed at tho idea of hiB
taking them in his lino march, will bo agreeably disap,

movements nro on foot to meet him wherever ho
go, but these will be developed at the proper time."?

Latesf from Siieiiman.?By our tolograms, it will
bo soen that Wheeler had a succcssfnl eucouutor with
part of Sherman's forco on Sunday last. Tho troops
that engaged Wheeler were probably tho rear guard
of tho Yankee column. At lost accouuta .Sherman's
advance is reported to havo occupied Station No. G, on
the Central railroad, about G? miles from Savannah
and was still moving in tho direction of that city. Wo
get tho following items from the Savannah Republican
i of Monday morning:
Sherman's army is proving a scourgo whorcver it
goos. No attention is paid by his troops to hisgonoral
order at tho outset of his expedition. Throughout the
whole line ef march, the country is mt^lc desolate by
pillage and Ore. Wo trust a rightoous retribution
awaits llto vnndals.
A gentleman wliO ffcnched hero from thoup-conntry,
yesterday, reports that (16 Grossed a Yankee telegraphic
wiro running Jlnough a swamp in the direction' of
Savannah River. The other end reached probably to
their camps above Milieu. He tried ha?d to break it,
but did not succeed, having no conveniences at hand
for that purpose.
Our informant says the country in the rear of Sherman's
army is literally swarming with deserters and
stragglers, who aro either begging or pillaging at every
bouse. Ho 'thinks an active regiment of cavalry
would be abiq to pick up a thousand of these cut-throats
perd:?3'. lie was a prisoner for n day and in the midst
of the Yankee army.
The Yankee oilicers spoke freely, of their plans, and
said Sherman did not intend to risk an engagement if
he could help it, as he had no ammunition to spare.?
