UPON THE CENTRAL RAILROAD. At ten A. M Sunday, November 27, General Willi. ‘with Geary’s and Jackson’s divisions, marched to the entra! Railroad at Tenville station, The cavalry had staf, had ordered the firing of t bouts—three commissary buildings, the rot and freight house, some revel barracks and two hundred bules of cotton. Sunday afternoon Williams? troops commenced the destruction of the Central road from Tevville to Davisboro, The road is built of T rail, Jaid on sleepers and crosstics, more difficult to get up than road built in the ordinary manuer. The troops made smoking ruins of the tics and sleepers, and un+ Sightly crooks of the rails, all the way to Davisboro. 4 YANKEE STOCKHOLDER DESTROYS HIS OWN PROPERTY, Coleone! Pardee, who commanded a brigade very active $m the destruction of the Central Railroad, is said to be a fheavy stockholder in the road. TRANS IN THE CENTRE. Now we were in tbe presence of the enemy’s cavalry, and « dash at our long transportation line might be Jooked for at any cross roads, Two divisions, one from exch corjs, were put in charge of the transportation tor Both corps and sent by the most direct road to Davisboro. General Absalom Bard, with the two remaining ivisions of the Fourteenth corps, marched to lett, by way of Feun’s bridge, thence toward Louisville, Gencral Williams, with the two divisions ‘@f the Twentieth, on the railroad to the right, with cav. airy iv front, made our transportation quite eaie, you may believe. | We reached Davisboro op the 27th ap bour after Iverson’s rebel cavatry brigade lelt, MRS, HARDWIOR’S PLACE, Davisboro station is one buvdred miles from Savannah. Mrs. Hardwick, a very wealthy widow lady, owns tho Sand for miles around. All the buildings except the brick Station bouse belong to her. Mrs. Hardwick’s larde ‘was pretty well exhausted by the troops, but her farm buildings were not burned. The warehouse and platform on the railroad were destroyed. FRADWATERS OF THE OGRECTER. Leaving Davisb oro we d through a level, sandy eountry, but cultivated fa fine plantations. QOuly six maiies from Davisboro station lived Herschel V.

Till noon of he 28th we marched through an aveoue bord r.d by Shese tine farms, when we reiched the Ogeechee river, a Birerm like thoes bad crossed before—that is, a suc- ecesion of smaji runways through a depse ewamp. Ei, bt @hort bridges were burned out of the causeway across tbe Ogeechee by the enemy. The balance of the day w: speut by the Twentieth corps in making preparations to cross, Meanwhile General Baird’s -oojumn bad forced the enemy back iu the direction of Wayuesboro and entered Loujevilie.

BRE ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING. Two negro women were looking at the column of Yankees as the Fourteenth corps came in. A soldier playfully poloted bis gun at one of them and pulled the Qrigeer. To his great astonishment the piece went off, Being at nalf cock, and killed both the nogro wome», one of them fostantiy. This isa true statement of a very eareioss act, which will no doubt be characterized by the rebels as wilful murder. fn PUA2UNG TAB BNEW At Louisville we threatened Augueta as at Sandersvtile, ‘and the presence of Baird and the whele of Kilpatrick’s pavalry cn the Waynesboro road Augusta people reat concero, We halted pear Louisville all day of the tb of November, waiting for the two divisions to come ‘ep from their work on the Central Railroad.

The stockade was a square of ‘een acres, enclosed by pine loge set upright in the ‘ound, very close together.

AMOUNT OF COTTON BURNED. The estimate of the number of bales of cotton de- stroyed by the troops of the left wing in their march is eighty seven hundred bales, together with all the appli- ances for cultivating, packing, or manufacturing that staple.

The Stampede of bondmen and bondwomen from Central Georgia will never be forgotten by those who were pecu- Biarily interested. Slaves of ali ages and both sexes left homes at a momont’s preparation, to go, they kvew Dot where, tn search of freedom. I am afraid many of them had avery vague ideaof the meaning of "freedom ”” They were tavariably dre-sed in the best their wardrobes afforded, jubilaut and bappy, thinking they were going to an eternal Chrisimas—a lifelong holiday. The march this vast column of dusky shades, their bivouacs, tneir Joys and sorrows on the forage question, their consterna- tion during the our infantry the rebel cavalry flies, t poorly disguised satisfaction at the pecuniary Staitings their old masters got, would each and all furnish splendid study for a great national painting. Their love of fivery is only excceded by their love of freedom and adventure. They came out to us loaded down with wearing apparel, great bundies of which they carried on their beads. ‘They made no provisions for the wants of the stomach. I have seen large, greasy negro females, dressed in slike, surging along laboriovely with the column, breathing hard at halting now apd then to scoop a handful of water from some puddle by the roadside, yet unwilling to increase their comfort by casting loose from the heavy bundles of finery they carried on their heads.

Qn the afternoon of the 11th of November last, while the village of Marietta, Cobb county, Ga., was burning, General Sberman reviewed tbe cavalry command under Brigadier General Kilpatrick, The mounted force num bered six thousand five hundred o/ tne best cavairymen in the West, with a four-gun battery of three inch Rod mans. leadership of the dashing young General, who has been & favorite with “horse riders ever since be came to the West, brilliant work was expected from these picked men. General Sherman delighted with the appearance of at the Mariotta review, and shortly afterwards issued or¢ers for them to march. At that time the re- Jease of cur men confined ot Milleg was one of General Sherman’s ecbemes. Kylpatrick would undoubtedly bave accomplished it had not the enemy anticipated the movement and removed the pris- cers far out of reach. In covering the movements of the infantry columns, protecting @anks, fighting splendidly i front, and guarding against rebel dasbes at trains in the rear, Kilpatrick’s command bas dove service in the grand campaigo which deserves more than ordinary mention. ‘THE DASH OW JONEERORO.
