e also supplied with about three days forage, in grain. All were instructed, by a judicious system of foraging, to maintain this order of things as long as possible, living chiefly if not solely upon the country, which I knew to abound in corn, sweet potatoes, and meats. My first object was of course to place my army in the very heart of Georgia, interposing between Macon and Augusta, and obliging the enemy to divide his forces to defend not only those points, but Millen, Savannah, and Charleston. All my calculations were fully realized. During the twenty-second, General Kilpatrick made a good feint on Macon, driving the enemy within his intrenchments, and then drew back to Griswoldville, where Walcott's brigade of infantry joined him to cover that flank, whilst Howard's trains were closing up and his men scattered breaking up railroads. The enemy came out of Macon and attacked Walcott in position, but was so roughly handled that he never repeated the experiment. On the eighth

On the second, I arrived here from Charleston, whither, as I stated in my despatch of the will be confined to assistance in attacking Charleston, or in establishing communication at Georget I have no expectations that an attack on Charleston is embraced in the plan, as General Sherman rter are no doubt posted in the direction of Charleston, prepared to occupy the city or otherwise, aer that, the swampy land would interfere. Charleston being left behind, there remains but a singlsist in this, a diversion is to be made upon Charleston, though General Sherman is directly opposed will keep Howard seemingly moving direct on Charleston, though with no purpose of going beyond the o make the lodgment about Bull's Bay.
