From Macon,
The Telegraph speaks thus of matters in that :
? , I
city, and vicinity z
Wc are glad to note an increased 'feeling of
confidence in the city. The whole available f
force of the community is under arms And T
ready, at a moments notice, for the trenches. 1
The enemy ar6 believed to be east of the city, ,
about/30 miles distant. The direction of their '
march is uncertain. They arc reported to ?
have a wagon train eight miles long. I
Many are of the opinion that they intend to S
lyavc Macon unmolested, fenring to attack the.
large force gathered here and the splendid for- .
tifications which surrounded the city. One '
thinir is certain?Macon is to be defended to
the Inst, and those' best informed believe it can
be held against any force Sherman can bting 1
against it. , . ? i
There are no Yankees on' the railroad between
this point and Griffin. > Khiuois? are 1
abundant, but we forbear giving publicity to *
, sensational reports and unfounded speculations I
After several days .of feverish excitement, j
Macon is comparative quiet again. Wo pre- (
fiume the nervous and faint-hearted have escaped
to places of greater fancied stourit}'
which will account for. the quietiing of ihe *
' public pulse. !
The'Atlanta Confederacy and Atlanta Intel- \
ligenccr have packed up and left the city. We j
? learn that they are going eastward. Weave
sorry to lose them, and sincerely wish success*. 1

From Hood's Army.?The Cohynlms ((???.) ,
Sun of the 19th has late and reliable intelli- |
gence from Tuscumbia. An officer who left ?
... that place last Snjiday, the 13th inst., reports .
that Forrest had reached there during the pre- (
ceding week, having destroyed everything on (
' the river from Fort Uindman to Tuscuinbia. (
Forrest's cavalry and Cheatham's corps crossed .
over to the north side on Sunday nmrning the ,
13th, and Stewart's corps in the afternoon of
the same. day. Lee's corns was airraidv siernsn
i >V ? 1
Our informant represents that the army was (
being rapidly reinforced from''both front and j
aear. Recruits from Mi."die Tennessee were
flocking to it in large nmnhqrs. It ftas thought
that Hood would immediately move up to
Columbia.- The baggage of the .army had
beon much reduced and sent to the. rear. The.
The troops were in light inarching trim, in
;i . the highest spirits, and eager for the advance.
General Beauregard reviewed that portion of
the army which was on the south side of the
river on Saturday the 12th inst., and was full
of hope at the prospect before it.
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 result of the aforesaid luxury wn&a noisy
row, whereupon Paddy was incontinently gob.
bled up. by the marshals and cifrried before one
of our magistrates. Irishman-liice. hn nebiir?n>i_
' edge his failing, but so pathetic-all" pleaded his
cause that the heart of the justice was touched
and-he was let off with a comparatively," light
fine. A symphatising by standor paid the bill.
Paddy was delighted, and with a peculiar

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

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. Home
will"tTe evacuated and damaged. WV will hold
an .outpost in Georgia^ south of (*h .tlanonga,
which will he necessary to guard Hast Te\liessee.
.?
Hood's army entire is nearly live hundred
miles in the rear of Sherman. The ivaliani
Goncrhl Thomas, with an arm v. will take care
of Hood, in the a(>-ence of Sherman. He will
have abundant force for this purpose, which
will he appropriately stationed in Toune-sc..
General Thomas is already pieparoi to Jight
Ho.nl, who is somewhere in Northern Alabama,
near the line of the Tennessee river. If Hood
gtres into \\ estcrn Kentucky lie falls into a
trap.
