by many who have attended to dream, and

Georgia. Speaking of the pre
sent position of affairs in Georgia,
the August Chronicle & Sentinel
says : .
A few dajrs since we remarked
that Sherman was running eight or
ten trains a day of provisions into
Atlanta. The Macon Intelligencer
say be ia receiv t tig over '-two- h u n -drcd
car loads of provisions daily.
Tliis is one of the beautifuMVuits of
tbon armistice." But what has been
dune iu. this matter cannot be tin-
done. ' All we can now do is to vi
gorously prepare for the future. If
the Confederate authorities at Rich
mond pass a few more weeks ot'ease
and negWgence, and refuse to take
proper measures aud steps for the
defence of Georgia, Sherman will
succeed in safely housing himself in
Atlanta, and will not only be iu a
atronly fortified position, but will
have provisions enough on hand to
