The direction of their ' march is uncertain. They arc reported to ? have a wagon train eight miles long.

A Good Wish.?Not long since, a jolly son of the Emerald Isle, who had just received intelligence of the safety of one of his two sons in the service, from whom he had not heard / for many weeks, celebrated bis joy at the event by indulging in what is vulgarly called a "bender," or what the Irish dragoon characteristically denominated "a Small i>itof a hullahalno."

THE ALLEGED V'ANKEE PROGRAMME?SHERMAN MARCHING oN CHARLES I ON. , \ * ' ( The news concerning Sherman's programme! in'Georgia, which has li-en telegraphed to the i coui.ti) from a Western paper, will startle the/ public. Some of jthe facts had been known in this city. It is known that after 11 odd had gotten well into 'Alabama some, weeks since, and after General Sherman had determined that it was not necessary to use* his entire army for the pursuit of the rebels, the latter, with- three" entire coips, started /back from Northern Georgia tor Atlanta. His obiectiw V . - ~ J " point whs holt- ly asserted to de Savannah, for whirli plaect.it was given out, he woiihi leave on the 8th, ill- day of the Presidential election, havit g first destroyed Atlanta. It was thought -lie would touch at Ma< oii and would reach Savannah in a march of 25 days. The r<?ute is 200 m?leV, with no rivers and few creeks of importance to pass, and leading through the most flourishing part of Georgia. Mi Hedge vi lie, tlie Capital of tlie State of Georgia, could be reached in six days from tlie date ot starting, .lie will have rations for thirty trays, but is expected to find supplies and forage, on Ins route. His force for tins great march will be between forty and seventy thousand men, and he wdl Jiavc a huge amount of ordnance,' a construction forps and pontoon bridges. There will doubtless be considerable destruction of property on tin? route, and tens of thousallds'of the huddled vltiVoc of ( Ion* irin will be freed and incorporated into our army. , Troops have gone- north from Atlanta to, Tennessee, and *t. is supposed will d? stroy all bridges and all important railroad mutes.
