The latest news from Sherman is, that on Saturday he was at Bloomingdale, on the Central Georgia railroad, fifteen miles west of Savannah. It was not absolutely certain whether it was in his programme to attack the city, to slide away down to the coast, or endeavor to force a passage of the Savannah river en route for Port Royal. Our position at Savannah is difficult, as involving the necessity of protecting both the city and some ten miles of the Savannah and Charleston railroad, which, leaving the city on the west, curves to the north and crosses the river eight miles above. Sherman, since he left Millen, has been felling timber behind him and otherwise obstructing the roads to protect his rear from the remorseless ravages of Wheeler, who has hunted and hung upon him like a bloodhound.

In fact, until reaching the point named, he found nothing but a thin picket line of the enemy. The objects of the reconnaissance having been fully accomplished, General Longstreet returned to his original position, which he reached on Saturday night. We killed a few of the enemy's pickets and took a few of them prisoners. Our loss was one man killed and several wounded.
