It ia equally evident that the Yankees are waiting and looking lot SntBUAM in that direction, and it ia by no means im- possible that a report prevailing this week at Bicbmond that Gbant had sent off a considerable body of troops to meet with and assiFt&HERMAN may be true. Sher vah may need all the assistance that can be sent him. We trust he will need it, and more too. We need not inform oar readers, at least thofe who I ire in town, that although the " reliable gentleman " no longer corresponds with the press, nor hob-cobs with the editors, he has by no means ceased to travel around, nor does he regard his occupation as gone. He has only " changed bis base " to a slight extent The newspaper men are the only unfortunate sinners with whom the " Great Unknown " seems to- hold no inter course whatever. At any rate we have heard of sun dry rumors being in circulation which we have failed to trace even to the great u reliable " himself, " or aay other man." What shall we eay of all these things ? His General Gcstatcs W. Smith, at the head cf the Georgia fonts, won a great victory over any portion of Sherman's army ? Is Shkrma.it himself in a bad way, and wishing to be anywhere else than where be is? Is Sherman in fact anywhere, or has he eubai ded ? la he lost ? Is he bagged, or is he laying about loose? All these thiDg3 and others besides did we hear yes terday. They can't all be true. Thev are rather too contradictory for that. Still, we will say this that what we did hear was more encouraging than what we had been hearing for some time past. We think it well to hope for the best, although we do not believe in the policy of concealment for the purpose of raising false bopes. Let us fake it that Sherman does reach the coast, and then let ns consider what it amounts to. It does not add a man to his force, but on the contrary he must reach the Atlantic with greatly red act d Dnmbers. If he gets to Brunswick or Port Rojal or Bryan Neck, or goes to Grant, he simply abandons all his conquests in Upper Georgia and Alabama, nearly all ia Missis sippi, aud leaves the balance on oar side in Tennessee, and donbtfal in Kentucky. It reminds us of McClzl lan's change of base, with these exceptions Sher man's success is more doub'fal, but if effected it will have a great moral weight, not in our favour. The phy sical results of the move will be against Sherman, in almost any event, but the moral resu It of a hostile raid ing force beiEg able to march clear through the South, f -om the Tennessee to the ocean cannot be other than deplorable. Let us trust that even jet Shbrman may be b ought to grief. That would be a great thing. It would at once lift the country up. From Georgia. The enly points from which we receive, or can reasonably hope to receive intelligence of movements in Georgia are from Augusta and Savannah. The Savan nah papers are bthind their date in arriving, but we give the la'est item we have or can glean which is the following from the A'etcs, of Tuesday the 29th : Sbcrman Beema to be making ro progress in hi invasion of the S'ate.

Xhese questions are asked day and daily, hour and hourly. How can we tell 1 It is pretty crta'n that he is aiming at oiie of Ihreo points, to wit : Brunswick ot Savannah, Georgia, or Pert Royal, South Carolina, ud to ODe or the other of these places he is determined to make bis way jast as fcst as be pes sibly c.an. - Will he succeed in doicg to? There are certainly d fi recces of opinion upon this subject, but the probabilities are that he wi'l. It is bardiy worth while keepirg things so close. The Yankee fleet will know where to gQ to meet him. It i3 on the Georgia coast now, or at least a very considerable cumber ol vessels, and a still larger cumber in and at Port Eojal Harbor. Northern paners iudced eay that Savannah is the objective point of Shrrmax's winttr campaign, acd it may be even so. Ihe worst feature aboat the matter is the degree of apathy that is said to exist in Georgia. We trust that this has been cx3egerated, but we have teard it upon whit we could cot bat look upon as good authority. How much food and supplies, general.'j, Sherman may be able tc get in the portion of Georgia that he traverses is more than we can even guess at. Not enough to subsist many men and many animals for any great length of time, we etou'd thick. TLe enemy had been very fond cf represectirg the South -as very poor, miserable and starving. Now it suits them to discov er that Georgia ia i lanl fljwicg with milk and honey and Bweet potatoes, to say nothing of cattle an3 hogs. Sherman pasbiog down to winter on the Georgia coast if he can, while Hood designs wintering in Ten nessee, and Prick in Missouri, is certainly a strange reversal of posiiiocs, from which we are not yet able to deduce the probable cor..srqaeccYs.

" I Lad forgotten it," wus tbe rep'y. " I tud forgotten it, but you never do." Scott nev-r forget the time wlen he was ac counted a g eat general, because the people d.d not know what a teat bona Jide war was, ai.d when pruise from his liua was deemed a pusep-rt to lame. He seems tn hp in(rib!e i f tht charjce around him. Like the Stoar.s acd Bouibos, he bus learned not mg ecd for eotten no hirg.

Tht Plot to lloi'HS rbe Coiifeflrrate Prisoners at The CLicago Tribune gives woat it insists is a full and correct accouat ot the plot, to. recently frustrated, which had for its object the releaee of tie Johnson's IslauJ prifnueri and the"cap.ure" of the city of Chicago. It Sijs : A force of e bout four hundred men K. (J. C's, bushwhackers and guerrillas were to be assembled at Chicago, acd with thtman attack was to be made on camp Dong las on Mouday eveuing for the purpose of hberatiDg the Confederates confined there. Walsh, with one hunrfd and fifty men. was to assault the e&st Bide of the camp, ard another man, whose name we may not nov? furcjaa, with two hundred, was to take the west side ; the operation to be superintended by Marmaduke, who was to l ave the remaining Ot ty men as a re serve eorp-, ready to act where wanted. The programme was to break down the fence and stampede the twelve bun ired priaonerSj who were all reaiy for the woik, 1 avirg been informed of it in Borne way best known o themselves. The prisoners were to be armed s rapidly cs posa ble, the ga. ison overpowered; their arms aDd arullery secured, and the garrison mad s pris oners. I bis, it was believe!, could eaaily be done if the attack was ma.ie as concerted ; and indeed there is little room to hope that it would have been otherwise thun successful haJ it not beeu nipped in tbe bud by a premature exposure of the whole scheme. With Mar maduke at their head, the rebels were to march into the sw city ard take preseason ot the courthouse and square as the base of oflensive operation?. Tiiey were then to take pcssess'on of the polls, voting in precinct, and pieventing the deposition in the ballot box of any otber tcau the McCleilan licket. This beicg accomplished, and a mr.j..rity ia the State thus secured, they were to proceed at occa to the work of destruction. Atltbe backs were to be robbrd, the stores gutted, and then fire set to the prineipal buiHiog9 ; for lhe purpose of controlicg this latter phase of ihe bubicess, the water plugs h:;d all ben marked anc! a force detailed to set tbe water rum-ir, so as to empty the main cistern and exhaust the water supply. I he te!er ph wires were to be cut oa the first ons.-t, and theu ti-e set to the raiiroad depots, the elevator, the shipping, i be persons of the leading Ui.ion men in the city were to be seizart, and they, with tbe plucder, mar a. d southward It was believed that, with f bic force of nearly thir teen thousand men, ihe city crmld be so quickly over whelmed as tnat eilictive opposition would be impossi ble, and that they could then, under their leader, Alar miduke, mjreh ia any direction with perfect impuni ty. Tbe scheme tib well concoe'ed. It lacked only one essential a puectsful issue. Thank providence that it was denied them. They bad assembled here as per pro, gramme, acd had the arrests been delayed a single day it would have bem too late the eft npfated threat would have been executed, and rivers ol blood would. have run in tbe streets ct Chicago.

Hd'qrs Military Division of thb Miss, In the field, Kingston, Ga., Nov. 9, 1864. For tbe purpose of military operations this army is divided into wings, viz : The right wing, Moj. Gen. G. O. Howard commanding,' the Fifteenth and Seven teenth corps ; the left wing, Major General H. W. Slocum commanding, the Fifteenth and Twentieth corps. II. TLe hsbttual order of rrmrca will be, whenever peacticable, by fon-r roads, as nearly pirallel as possible, acd converging at points hereafter to be indicated in orders. The cavalry Brigadier General Kilpatrhk com manding, will receive special orders from the Command er in-Chief. III. I here will be ro general trains of supplies, but each corps will Lave its ammuoitioa and provision train, d'&'ribnted habitually as follows : Behind each regiment should fjliow one wagon and one ambulance ; behind ecch brigade should follow a due proportion of ammunition tragors, provision wagoaa and ambulances. In ca?e of danger, eaco army corps should change this order of march by having fia advance and rear brigade unencumbered by wheels The separate columns will start habitually at peven A M., and make about fif teen mil a per day, unless other wis? fixed in orders. 1 V . Tbe army w:l fenee liberal y on the Country duriog the march. To this ead, eeco brigade com macder will organize a good and pumcient loraging party, ULder the command ol ore er more discreet otn cers, who will gather necr tbeioute traveled corn or torage of aoy kmd, meat of any kind, vegetables, corn meal, or whatever is ceeded by the command ; aiming at all times to keep in the wagon trains at least ten days provisions tor the crmmaud acd three days forage. Soldiers must not enter the dwel!:ngs of the inhabitants, or commit any trespass ; during the bait or camp they may be permitted to father turnips, potatoes acd otber vegetable, and drive in stock in front of their cam pa. To retju'r foreeinc parties must be entrusted ihe gath ering of provisions and forage at any distance from the road traveled. V. To army corps commanders is entrusted the pow er to destroy mills, houses cotton gics, &c, and for them this general principle is laid down : la districts and neighborhoods where the army is unmolested, no destruction of such property should be permitted ; but should guerrillas or bush whackers moleBt our murch.or soould tbe inhabitants bam bridges, obstruct roans or oth-w - maoiffst local hoatiiuy, then army corps commanders ihould crdor and enforce a devas'ation more or'lt Es relentless, according to the meusure of such hostility. VI. As for horses, mules, wagons, &c, belonging to the inhabitants, tbe cvalry and artillery may appro priate freely and without limi", discriminating, how ever, between the rich, who are usually hostile and the pocr or industrious, usually neutral or friendly. Fora ging parties may aiso take muls or horses to replace the jaded animals of their trains, or to serve as pack mu'es for the regimeats or brigata. In all foraging, of whatever kind, the parties engaged will refrain from abusive or threatening language, and may, when the officer in command thinks proper, give written certifi cates of the facts, but no receip'e; aud they will endea vor to leave with eaeb family a reasonable portion for their maintenance. VII. Negroes who are able bodied and can ba of service to the several columns, may be taken along; but each army commander will bear ia mind that the question of supplies ia a very important"T)ne, and that b'S firat du'y is to see to those who bear arm. VIII. The organization at once of a gcod pioneer battalion for each corps , composed, if possible, of ne jrroe8, should be attended to. This battalion should follow the advance guard, should repair roads and dou- doub'e them, if possible, so that the comma will not be debyed after reaching b ul places. Also, army command ers bhould 6tudy the habit of giving tbe artillery acd wagons the road, and march their troojis on one side ; acd also instruct theiritroops to assiBt wagons at steep hills or bad crossings of strecms. IX. Capt. O. M. Pee, Chief Engineer, will assign to each wicg of the army a pontoon train, fully tqiip ped and organized, and tbe comminders thereof will see to its being properly protected at ail times.
