It {9 now definitely ascertained that General sher- Man's grand movement originated with bim, and Was submitted to General Graut and the War De- partwent for instructions, After deli! eration full euthority was given him to act, and dispomtions were made to support hii with the requisivr The design was to penetrate through Geo . to Mecou and thence to detach columns to Mili- e@igeville and Augusta. The su! sequent 4 operations were to be guided by circumstances. According, au these were favorable, he was to move from Auguste to Savannab, or Cherlesion, or through North Carolina to Danville in Eastern Virginia, General Sherman's movement involved the destruction of the railroad system of Georgia, whieh is chiefly owned by the State. The railroad from Atlanta to Macon was completely destroyed, 4nd the road from Macou t Savannah, 200 miles in length will also be dismantled. The section of eountry through which he is moving is the great Store house and arsenal of the Confederacy. The priucipal powder mil's are located nesr Augusia, @od a number of large shot, yuu and ammunition factories are in operation near that city, aud at Mu- eon and Columbia, The cowp ry fe very fay -able for military movements, the ® } being mor@ ‘ight and porous than that of Virginia, which hold tthe Pain and forms mud six inches deep after @ ery shower, In this region » few hours remg* sa all traces of the rain ctorms, which, in Virginia, rea- @er the country impassable for woeks, The unexpected movement of Beauregard's army to the North-west greatly facilitated Gen. Sherman's dealgns, and the latter, after chasing the enemy into Alabama, turned back, prepared for his move- ment, and placed Gen. Thomas in position to at- tend to the rebel army. It was not without cer- tain feeling of exuitation that Sherman heard of Bogurogard's movements Northward. Uuder thia intluence he uttered the grim exclamation when he heard of it—"Let him go Northor toh—l, If he goes to the Ob!o River I will supply bis army with + Fations.’* Supplies for sixty thoussud men for forty days had been thrown into Atlanta, and ail tho Prepai ations having been completed, the work was commenced of demolishing the principal factories and public buildings in Rome and Atlanta, A correspondent gives the following description, dat- e@d November 11th, of the scenes thet transpired in Rome: Rome was evacunted at 10 o'clock this forenoon by our forces, but not until the Etowab Houses a respectable three-story brick hotel, was cousumed by fire. Siragglers managed to ignite a lot of @traw inthe (uilding, and there being no fire en- nes in the town, it was impossible to subdue the ames. A block of four brick stores was also wantonly destroyed by skulking stragglers, Ali the barracks were laid in ashes, and a black veil of douse sinoke hung over the waralesolated city pearly all day, arising from the smouldering ruins, Owing to the great lack of railroad transportation, Gan tris was obliged to destroy nearly a million of dollara worth of property, amon, which wase few thoussnd dollars worth of condemned ry unserviceable government stores, Nine rebel guns, captured as Rome by our troops, were burst, it Ley deemed unsafe to sae them. Ono thousand bales of fine cotton, | ‘'$wo flour milly two rolling milla, two tauneries, | one salt mi/l, an extensive toundry, several tauchince shops, together with the railroad depots end store. houses, four pantoon bridges, built by Gen, Corse'’s Pioneer Corps tor use on the Conga and Etowah rivera, and # substantia! treatie bridve, nearly com. pleted for use, were destroyed. This trestle, con- structed by the Enyincer Corps, I am told would have cost $50,.00 North, Recollectiug the outrages perpetrated upon Col, Sire ght by the *Romana,"* our troops, a8 Hoon as they learned that the town wae to be abandoned and & portion of it burned, re- solved to lay Romo in ashes in revenge. The roar lug of the flames, as they leaped from wiadow to window, their eavaze tongues of fire darting bigh up into the heavens aud then licking the sides of the buklings, presented an awful, but grand ape: tacle, while the mounted patrol and tie infauury- mien g'ided slong through the brill: ut Lee ; theg ostly spectres of horrid war, Ou the 12th of November, a5 slready announced mm the Bus, the advance, consisting of « division of | General Kilpatrick's cavalry, under General Me- Cook, and the Twenticth Army Co: pa, commanded by General Slocum, moved slowly out of Atlanta in The direction of Macon, It was followed by the | i Fourteenth Corps under General Jefferson ©. ‘\ Davis. The Army of the Tennessee formerly com. ’ @aended by General McPherson, but now led by General Goward, the Havelock of the Ameri. mo erm. wy up the reload between THE the Chattahoachee River and Atlante ite arrival {mn Atlanta it completed the work of destruction, for which everything hal been pre- pared, and then followed the expedition. Every- thing capable of being devoted to rebel use was Sestroyed. All the storelouses, arsenels, factories tnd public buildings were burned, and what could not be burned was blown up. The raiiroad from Chattanooga to Atlanta, # hundred and thirty miles long, end which had supplied Sherman's army @o long, was rendered useless. General Reau- regard undoubtedly selected his position be- tween Tuscumbia and Corinth with reference to the allroad facilities which at that tive existed, His troops were # disposed as to be able to wove in the shortest possible time towards any po.nt East, West or Bouth of Atianta, which waa likely tobe threatened by General Sherman. But the Wholesale destruction by Sherman of the railroads in his rear deprived the enemy of the advantages Upon which he may have calculated, and compels him to follow if at all @ long distance in the rear, The following additional details of General Sher- man's movementaare given by the Western papera. In relation to the questions of subsistauce, it is stated : Sherman haa been chiefly occupying his time in laying in fall aupply of bard tread aod beef cat- We: and he ba th bim of the former sixty days full rations, several thousand bead of cattle. For al! things ae be will cf don the country over which he i# to pass, als can subsist well. Corn and aweet potatoes ar odant, Dur. ing the week ending on the Sth inat, he gathered in 1,700 wagon loads of corn, 430 loads of aweet potatoes, and a few loraes, without sending his joraging parties more than thirty miles from Ate tanta. He could manage to live for six months without commit jon once with the North, In reference to his cavalry, he feels certain of his abtl- ity to obtain horse eugh to keep good bis origt ual stock; and perbapa he may be enabled wo mount some wore men, The Cinciunat! Gazerre gives the following con- firietory pews of the information lately pul lished ip the Bun: We understand him to be on his march through Georgia, to make the South Atlantic Squadron, at Beaufort, his new base of supplies, if he needs one; but if the country we suppone, is sufficient to maintain bis ariny, there iv no aleolute need of any new base, Here it will be inquired, Woat \) he encounter, and what ia his ob- i be no army tn frovt of him, and Kitia will Le utterly inefficient in ob- structing Lis progress Hood {i werloss; Lec has no man to spare, and if he had, itwould t jarge army to eudvounter Sherman, The tel: ia there fore, open before hit, and the main question is, what can he ecconnplish ? In our opinion, he can ace cormplish the 1096 irapertant results reached in the | war. Wheuacoluimn reaches Macon it can de- stroy, effectually, the only remaining railroud commurmication Letween the eastern and western parte of the Coufediracy. Whey a column eal) reach A ta, it Cestroys the largest mavutacto- ries and cepot of military munitions in the Bouth. The greatest and almost the only manufactory ts there, When the railroad to Aususts, and from Bavauneb to Chariestou are destroyed, there is no further practical military commuyication Le- tween the country east of the Savannah and west of it. We shall have severed the Con- federacy by another impassable line, But this i@ ouly the leginning. If Sherman can reach Beaufort, afier « week's rest, be can move right on through North Carolina to Danville, thus making Eagtern Virginia @ prison, and» grave fcr Lee's army and the rebel Government The Chicago Triuuns bag the following !mport- ant statement: Suarleston will be cut o%, and Sherman's army 000 men will be free to act as circumstances aud wil. be on the aea coast, ready for em- orment’s notice, so that they can or Sheridan, a# may be most : fier recruiting they may be moved through Centra) Georgia, Bouth and North Caroling, uterly annihilating every railroad by the way, and thus making Virgivte the grave of the rebellion, Can Sherman eubsist? Und ubted- ly hecan, There are two articles in the South, in abiindsuce—corn and sweet potatoes ; and he takes wih him avy awouns of hard tack, and several thousand cattle, His meu will live better than when in camp REDEL NAWS OF ANERMAN, The Bichmond papers of Friday Jast fully con- firm the news of Bherman's march on Macon. They state that be was confronted, near thst city, by Gen, Howell Cobb, with three brigades of cavalry and 8,000 militia, Of course these could scarcely make a demonstration against Sherman, and can- not impede his progress to any considerable extent. The Exquinar states: Bherman might reach the Gulf, overpower all oppontng forces, and fix his new base upon the waters of the Gulf, But whatthen?’ The march would be all. The damage repaired, he would have accomplished nothing to impair our means of defense, aud would find himself opposed, In the Spring, by another army. The Richmond papers of Tuesday last have the following dispatch from Augusta in reference to General Howel! Cobb's earlier movements: Boouts who lef Jonesboro on Wednesday morn- ing (Nov, 16th) report thet Genera! Howell Cobb, with from sx to nine thoussnd militis and three brigades of cavalry, attacked the encmy and was steadily driving tuem in, (This report of Gen, Cobb's militia obviously re- fers to the driving in of Sherman's advance pick- ets upon thelr supports, aw It is scarcely possible that they could do much more then ect as @ corps of observation. —Ep, Sun.) The Richiond BEN TUNEL states : War news is exciting to-day, and tells of activity everywhere, The campaign of 1564, instead of asainy ite last day# in peace, is to expire fn storm, Ihe lsth day of Noveuber is here, and Winter has even amp'e warning that he js not far behind bis time, But in Virginia new movernents are on foot, sud in Georgia and Tennessee vast campaigns singularly comunplicated, are in process of deve ment, Desertera from the enemy report that Grant is preparing tor a graud assault Upon our lines, and {a strengthening his army for that purpose, They say that @ part of Sheridan's aruy Las already reached him. How Thomas le Watching Beaarcgard and Mood, The Nashville correspondent of the Cincinnati CommenciaL thus describes the relative positions of the armies of Hood and Thomas: Hood, finding the crossings and fords of the Tennessee all vigilantly watche’, deypatched his eutire mou force under Forrest sud Wheeler to attempt crossing at or near busouville, while with hie infantry Le mana the ¢ un- try between Memphis and the 1 r, The mounted forces under Forrest, succceted in capturing a few of our gunboats and traneporte et and about Johnsonville, an! before reluurces ments dispatched by General Schofield could reach them, succeeded in frightening the garrie son of the place, by firing rapidly shot and shell from a few butterios planted in uncomfortably close quarters to our men, he commanding offcer, whose name is unimportant, toluking the whole furce of the rebel army was contront- jug him, and fearing lest the vast amvunt of sup: ies shere accumulated should full into ther ordered the torch te be »pplies, aud ine _NEW YORK, TUESDAY, ie Upon Is ort time the flames ware wrappe! shout the huge piles of stores; and, though eowe were afterward saved, the bull of them waa soon a pile of ashes, This destruction of property [ would nit he ander- Stood to claiaa was useless or unnecessary, for the tr ef cts Lave not been made known, ia brut it '* far better that the Government should b destroved them than that they should bavs been “tured over" to the rebel cominiaeuries, who no doubt would bave been quite w ling to ‘re- ceipt for them n bulk.” Though the stores were demroyed the pisce was uot cs:ture'’, and our forces, reinford, now hold the jx st, This place, itm remembered, ie ou the Tenneasce river, an extens ve dk of sup about 70 m ies trom Nashville, A railroad to Nuebville has been buil*, and the creat bulk of the stores for the vast army at the front are handied at thie depot.
