"WHAT SOUTH CARCW0A3IAT I: . -."V EXPECT. TEE VANDALS IN Wl*ddtf>UEyjELS. Milledgeville, November 27, 19G4. SlB:?For public information we drop you a line or t?o from this. poiDt, that it may be -1 known what the Federal army has dono in A * pasting through this place. . The first appear-' T ance of Sherman's ' cavalry in our city was on [ 'he 20th, not more than twenty men first making their appearance. They lingered on the ' outskirts of the.town, cut the telegraph wires,, and aiter inquiring if any of Wheeler's men were here, and being answered in the-negaRk ' ti?e, advanced through the streets With cocked pistols and carbines, seizing horses and e.rci? EB' titig no littlo consternation and alarm. By B. Monday afternoon Slocum's corps began to eomein by way of Social Circle, Madison and Eaton too, and the other divisions under him . by way of Monlieello. Sherman's forces o:v;i:e in by the way of Clinton on Tuesday and Wednesday. The columns visiting Milletfgeville composed i the 14th and 20th corps, and it is thought tafe numbered some fvrenty thoujand muskots, with corresponding artillery and scViSTal thousand wagons. These wagons were mostly loaded with provisions, the army subsisting on what they found on their way in the country. _? They spre&d desolation broadcast?taking everything L' it in their way in thgbreadtti of abontiwenty BL v xailqs.

THe ruil . road has been destroyed for about two and a * " >- hairtniles from this towards Gordon, and for. about. fW miles from. Gordon in this direction. ' Wd are informed that the^road between this, and Eatontoa was undisturbed except the . bridge across Little river, which was burned withoihe depot at Eaton ton. The State House, the Executive Mansion, the Factory and the _ Asylum are left standing, though all but the latter dismantled... The Oharehes were entered and materially damaged. . The only private residences burnt were those of John Jones, . State- Treasurer, and Mr. Gibbes', formerly ? Col. Campbell's. This was done, it is said, [ by a radb of tho soldiers, because hg wa9 a South. Carolinian. All his household JurniI j " tare was burnt, and his silver ware taken to the I 7 ammmfc-fit fthnirfc &20:000.

We hear of a great many private *" 1 y- dwelliage, ^ru hoases,; and much cotton being 'sSfr burnt by'the^nemy cm thejr different routes . ~v within sight. Also that several pPlVates.were" 'shot. It" is, however, duo to tho Federals to say that they respected families in our city, within doors, hut at;the same tiJne robbed them of all without.

That post wis carried early yesterday moniing by assault, in which a heavy. column of Shertnan's best troops participated. .It is believed that the enemy will next make a desperate offort to gaiii ^po.se-siou c/ Genesis Point. The ufcjvs given above is perfectly aithentic, ' but we liave heard no details of the assault of. W tlio cas-' unities.

Deserters Arrested.?Two deserters, claiming-to belong to the Foreign Legion, stationed- in Columbia at this time, calling themselves James McKenzik and Wii. ltAiXBY, were arrested on Monday evcniug lust, . and are in limbo. Two executions having taken place within the past few days, in the same legion?one for desertion, the other for disorderly conduct?should have been a warning to all others, iuciinod to brave dur laws and camp discipline. They will no doubt irx*t the same just reward for disobedience of orders and treachery to the government that had received them as loyal- citizens. We have always disapproved of taking into our ranks those who have served under Yankee rule, nnd-wnojiad taken the oath of allegiance to our government. Wo have no faith in such loyalty,and'believe it, ashasajfeady beeB proven in many instances, tube a short-sighted policy on the part of our go/ernmontto have inaugurated'and sustained such a system. * - The Two Governors.?The Carolinian of yetfterterdaysays: The Legislature, yesterday, in the person of Hon. A. G. Maghatit, elected a successor to the Gubernntaonaychair, which for two years has been occupied by his Excellency Gov. M. L Bonham. Tbo new inbumbent brings to hfe office abilities of no cojimon order. A graduate of fibuth Carolina Co.ll'ego in t8ffl, iu the class ef the lamented" Tboknwell, in which bt) was tlte-recipient of the third lionor, his career from that tirno until the present has been steadily upward: As counsellor and judge, lils decisions have won from his brethren of the bar moro than respect ? Strong,minded. resolute, independent and self-reliant iii character, identified in principle with the welfare o^ the wholeiitate, her laws and her institutions, her wants and' capacity, we anticipate at his hands a vigorous, biitjusfc, admlniitration of lier jjpverunent. In retiring, with his well worn honors, Gov. Eonham carries with him from his office the warmest re gsrds both of his personal friends-and the-people atlarge. If no salient point stands out as a landmark of his administration of public affairs, it is because their course, during the paBt- two years,, lias been smooth and unruffled." Thopublic approbation of his. conduct is nous the less sincere or general. Prompt mthe discbarge of his official duti*s, the typcof a cbivalric gentleman,.courteous, yet firm in the fulfillment of all tho relations of life, our citizens will miss him from the sphere in which-'lhey.hare leopled to know and appreciate true manhood ; and the "weirdone, geed and faitthfuL serrant;" wfll be a benediction echoed in -.'very heart.
