All the bridges on from Forsyth Indian Springs were burned by our forces. Rumors and Speculations from the Augusta papers. The Augusta Chronicle of the 18th says: The general belief is, that Sherman was yesterday, with part of his army, at Jonesboro' and McDonough, and part near Covington; that he had burned Rome, Marietta, Atlanta, the bridge over the Chattahoochee, and was tearing up the railroad behind him. Our careful and thoughtful opinion of this whole matter is, that if General Sherman is advancing with even 30,000 men, his ammunition and provision train, to put it at the lowest calculation, will so encumber him that a force of 10,000 determined men can, before the army advances one hundred miles, make it a retreating and disorganized one. He cannot have in his

The further report, however, that he had been sent to Washington city under guard, proves to be untrue. General Burbridge, it seems, has taken summary action in the case without the formality of sending the accused to Washington, and has decreed his banishment beyond the Federal lines.

She had in tow a barge, heavily laden, and was sunk herself to the guards by freight. By means of a hawser she was brought over and secured.
