The distances.

--Augusta is on the Savannah river, which stream forms the dividing line between South Carolina and Georgia. From Augusta to Atlanta, the distance is 171 miles; from Atlanta to Macon, 103; Atlanta to West Point, 87; West Point to Montgomery, 88; Savannah to Macon, 190; Macon to Andersonville, 50. By a reference to these distances it will be seen that Hood's army is 29 miles south of Atlanta, on the Macon road, 74 from Macon and 134 from Andersonville, where the Yankee prisoners are confined, which will serve to dispel the idea that the prisoners are in danger.
