HEADQUARTERS 55TH OuIO VOLUNTEERS ATLANTA, GA, Oct.31. * * * Isupposea few words ou the situation here will not be woolly uninteresting to you. At present the Twentieth Corps—of which our regiment is a@ part—still occupies the city. The balance o. the army is supposed jo be somewhere near the Alatama line, and looking after Hood, whose headquarters are reported to be at De- eatur, Alabama. It is my opinion that Gen. Sberman is pow doing the “letting alone” part, in order that Hood may get himself where » Jordan is hard road to travel” to again find himself in Dixie. We are under orders to prepare for a sixty days’ campaign, 60 you see that does not look much like spending the winter in Atlanta, as Many have hoped todo. It is pot supposed that any below a Major General knows whatis to be the programme, nor do they; but it 18 generally conjectared that a large force is soon to start for Savannah via Augusta and Milledgeville. General Thomas will bave force enough. with what will be Jeft him by Sherman, to “do the agree- able” to Hood, aud but little may be expected lo meet our *-On to Savannah,” or whevever- it-may-be movement. You may expect that “something may tarn up” before this army settles down for the winter, ‘The people in this region are generally re- bellious, but fortunately there are pot many of the fighting men left. Since Hood cut Sher- man’s communications, and stopped the in- coming of supplies from our base, we have done some pretty heavy toraging. Four for- aging parties have already brought in not less than twenty-four thousand bushels of corn, with hogs, chickens, sweet potatoes, &c., in abundance. It Hood can afford to meddle with Sherman’s rear, he can afford to subsist this army, and | fear the citizens where our parties have been are not now laxuriating in their plenty of which the “Confederacy” is so boast- ful. ‘Atlanta has been and is being fortified, to make it a Gibraltar; butas it can no longer be a strategic point for the rebels, I think it not certain that it will not be abandoned when we start onthe contemplated campaign. This, of course, is only conjecture. If it is abandoned, it will only be because it is not necessary to bold it Is Gen'| Sherman going to Andersonville? | From the Toledo Blade.) ‘We getno direct official authority for the statement that General Sherman has cut loose from the north, abandoned Atlanta and moved south; neither do we get any official denial of it. Tpofficial evidence to that effect is rapidly ac- comulating from many sources, which leave very little room to doubt its truth. A private letter received this morning from one ina posi- tion to know, assures us that this reportis true. We are satisfied that the incredulous will have but ashort time to wait for conviction. They may look fer proof first from Richmond, say as soon a8 the middle of next week. Itis believed that the movement was decided on several weeks sgo, and kept admiraply well concealed from the public and gossip. General Sherman knows what heis about, and has taken his own method of making it known to the Rebels themeeives. His highly significant letter to tha President of the Western Sanitary Commission is now quoted. Itseems that some time azo that Commission sent large supplies to Atlanta for our prisoners at Andersonville, Georgia, by request of Sherman, arrangements having been made with Hood to deliver them Military movements prevented their delivery, and now General Sherman writes to the President of the Commission that he will “hold the articles for the purpose desigued, but that it may be neces- sary for him togoto Andersonville to deliver the supplies in person.” Table of Distances, As & matter of interest, we compile the jollowing table of distances from Atlanta to the several points which have neen men- toned as likely to be visited by Sherman: Miles, Atlanta to Macon Avgusta to Charleston, S.

He remained with the flower of his arniy—with the corps that stood at Onicka- mauga with Thomas and the corps of G aut’s old army that besieged Vicksburg and relieved Chattanooga, lying in what Goy Brown calls the “‘beartsna yailroad centre of the South,” with only the Georgia militia—the mere sha ow of An army—to oppose him.

He determined to toillow Hood no longer, but bade him + speed” on his journey Nortn. “If he will go to the river.” he said, “I will give him his rations,” but tailed to intimute that be proposed to consider them rations to prisoners. The resolution was promptly formed and the preliminary movements as rapidly executed. By November | the Army ot the Tennessee had left Rome and was en route to Atianta. Oa November 4 the five corps—the ith, 15th, tsth, 7th, and 20th—bad been concentrated at the last named city, and rapid preparations were being made to begin the march. Sherman left in the tighestspirits,and telegra pled his inten- Uons in these remarkable words: “Hood has croseed the Tennessee. Thomas will take care of him and Nashville, while Schofield will not let him into Onattanooga or Knoxville. Georgia and South Carolina are at my mercy, and I shall strike. Donot be anxious aboutme. Iam all right.” This is his adieu. The rebel papers already announce that be has started on his march. Where is he going! Sherman's First Destination Andersons | ville. Never during the war has the South been taken so completely at a disadvantage; aud | with the legs of such soldiers as Sherman has he can go anywhere he may desire. To the right lies Montgomery, Mobile and Columbas. The two first are the supply depots of Beaure- gard. The last is the greatarsenal of the South. Witbin a few hours’ march is Andersonville, the great rebel pen in which twenty thonsand of our men are confined as prisoners and treat- ed asdogs. Sherman is not likelv to pass it by. He wrote but a few days agoto the President of the St. Louis Sanitary Commission, “I thank you for the prompt fulfilment of the re- quest to send certain articles tor our prisoners ut AndersonviNe. Things havechanged since. and I may have to go in person to deliver these articles to the prisoners.” It may b? consid- ered afixed fact that, whether Mobile, or Sa- vannuh, or Charleston be his destination, Gen. Sherman will take Andersonville in his way. Savannah lies to the left, only fifteen days’ march. Charleston isin the same direction, and not over twenty-five days distant. Let him go whichever route he may he can reach the ocean or the Gulf without a battle. Beanuregard’s Position. In the meantime where are Beauregard, Hood and Taylor! The latest officia: news which we bave trom the combined forces of the en- emy is from Nashville, uuder date of the Lith inst. The army was at that time in the vicin- ity of Florence, Alabama, where they had a pontwon bridge across the Tennessee river * Bat,” says the telegram, “they hesitate to cross. Deserters report that they are busily engaged in repairing the railroad between Tuscumbia ind Corinth.” Hood made his first effort to cross the Tennessee at Bluewater creek, on November 3d, and, on being defeat. ed by Roussean’s troops, moved to Florence, where, being met by the intelligence of Sher- man’s daring movement from Atianta, he halts irresolute and ‘hesitates to cross.” In his front are Rousseau and Wood, each with a full corps, equal in the aggregate to Beaure- gard’s army. Forrest, on the rebel lett, has met with some little success in blockading the Tennessee river below Johnsonville and in destroying several transports near that place, but is apparently unwilling to cross thestream and place himself in the narrow peninsula be- tween the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers. In bis front, and doubtless bearing down upon him by this time, is the corps of General A. J. Smith, which, relieved of the pursuit of Price, has been sent to Paducah. On the extreme Tebel right Breckinridge is driven from Bull’s Gap by Gillem, and foiled in his attempt to reach Knoxville. ‘Thus we now have in the immediate tront of the enemy at every threat- ened pointa force equal to hisown and able to deteat him, while two hundred miles in his rear isa greatarmy of fifty thousand men, against whom the rebels can muster no force adequate to oppose it. The strategy of Jett. Davis and Beauregard has simply resulted in furnishing us with one more army than they bave, and forced us to concentrate while he scattered his armies in fruitless iryasions of Missouri and Tennessee. The result of this great mistake will very soon be shown us by the terror it will strike into the hearts of the rebels at Richmond. The Chirography of Grant and Lee. A Richmond correspondent of the Savanah Republican, referring to the late correspon- deuce between Gens. Grant and Lee in refer- ence to the relief of our prisoners at the South, says: The correspondence between Gen. Lee and Gen. Grant is now before me, and I have been much struck by the hand writing of these two ablest generals the war has brought forward on either side. Gen. Lee’s handwriting is bold and rather stiff, his letters being large, round and very distinct. He bearsheavily upon the pen—probablya goose quill—and abbreviates many of his words, as if writing were a labor tohim. The following is an exact transcript of the first sentence in his letter to Gen. Grant: « General—I baye read your letter of the isth inst., accomp’g copies of letters from Judge Ould, Comm’r of Exchange joffPris’rs on the part of the Conf,ate States & the Honb’le E. M. Stanton Sec’y of War, Lt Col. Malford Asst. Comm’ of Exc, of the U. States.” He does not, a8 you perceive, punctuate closely; and nowhere in his letter does he write out the word “and,” but invariably uses the abbreviation “&.” and he pauses long enough to dot allhis «i nd cros¢ all his ‘t’s.” All his letters are drawn nearly straight up and down the paper; in other words, they are like himself, round, full, bold and upright, inclining neither to the right nor the left, and standing firmly on their base, as if they disdained all assistance. They are so clear and precise, so ronnd and weighty, and distinct, that each letter reminds one of & solid cannon ball, and each word of @ cluster of grapeshot, Gen. Grant’s handwriting, on the contrary, though notso bold and distinct, nor the let- ters so large and round and ereet, is neverthe- less, very legible and very striking. Itis full of energy and action, and his letters all incline To the right, and follow oue after another with 8 little space between them as if they repre- sented an equal number of his brigades on a march round Lee’s right. Among chirogra- bers his hand would be called a ranning hand. ‘he words occupy Much space from lef: to right, and still they are very clear and legible. He pays more atiention to puncaation than Gen. Lee, abbreviates less, and is equally care- fulofhisi’sandt’s It may betne work of imagination, yet in reading his letter I cannot but pictare the writer as a restiess, nervous, energetic man, full of fire and action, always in motion, and always in a hurry.

(From the Richmond Examiner, Nov. 10.} There is a report, apparently somewhat au- thentcated, that thirty iroh-clads, with a number of torprdo boats and transports, have lately arrived at City Point Many imielligent cfficer: ‘e convinced that there will soon bea great battle on the whole tine below Rich- mend. The time of that battle will depend on the complenion of the Dutch Gap canal and its success as Aship channel. for it is Dighly im- yFrobable that Grant wall try auvother assault without the aid of the fleet—at least uatil ne Ascertains that the canal is a failare and thac all hope of aid trom the fleet must be aban- doned.
