THE REBEL PEOPLE TOLD TO HOPE
We hive received all the Richmond papers of the
23d .and 24th, and present a summary of their con
tante. Their columns have but little news from.Shere
man, but many speculations, about lils movement s isnd intentions. nisi const antly assure their road-
OIS that Rhenim:o:old dash will- end in disaster,
and affect to believe that the best thing Sher.

Confederacy. The Enquirer of 'ffedrieiday, the 23d,

The rains having put a determined stop to all im.
.mediate Military operations In Virginia, Georgia
now cencenkrates the common interest upon herself.
Until the present year the people of that State
knew nothing of the horrors of invasion, and not until
thermal in Atlanta were they fatly alive to the reall
- Me which war had Introduced In their Midst. As
nothing, however, has occurred In the past history
of the state, save the weak utterance of a few child
' telt men, to Indicate that she will not bear up proud
, ly, as other States have done,umder the heel of the
invader, we can but expect that the will emulate
' her long suffering sisters, - now that the true
hour of her trial is come. . Sherman is march
ing into the heart of the State; as yet his move
ments have met with but little resistance, a
fact which may be explained by the necessity
the situation demands of drawing him off; as far as
possible, from the only point towhich he eoall rea
sonably look for autos/V:4e may, unmolested, cap
ture some of the mr.l4st — towne, as he captured
others in the norannaipart of the State, daring_ the
summer campaign': •It is not abeiriteprobableihat
he.mag take the capital of the.Stateond, perhaps,
move thence upon Savannah or Aug - este, with an
ultimate eye to Charleston. It *as rumcired yester
day that he had moved in a single columr3from For. - -
'qtr. towards Milledgeville ; that his cavalry bad
made a descent upon the Macon and Milledgeville
Railroad, at Gordon, and that even the town of
possession. was already in their posseon. Al
though this is not confirmed by an official informs
tion, It is by no means unlikely, for,although Forsyth
is nearer to Macon than to entledeville, a detour to
the lett for' the ratter point woul dbe a very praoth
cable strategic move, and would ad/patently give
Shermap the advanta ge of the lead of Hood's army,.

lita; p.nit.llvoi it, as a grain of comfort, before Its.
saillemsasaillers. It says :
Wenrestill, at a loss to understand the ulterior
objectb Of Sherman. The Yankee papers, more than
awfonth ago, We out that the seat of war was to
be the Cotton States this wiater. If such be de
sign, and this the execution of it, the certainty that
he will more upon Savannah or Charleston, in or
der to stead a base for futud operations, seems
pretty • well inatebltshed. Once In Savannah br
Charleston, however, he will find himself as effec
tually besieged there:as Howe was in Philadelphia

king Philadelphia, Philadelphia had taken Ho we.
A Confederate army, lying before whichever of these
cities he may select, will effectually bath& entrance
into the country and render his army-11ov° In the
article of employing so large a force to blockade it
—as useless as though it did not exist. To take po
sition in Charleston orSavannah Is to place himself
In precisely the same position with Howe and Olin
ton in New. York.. They had the city with good
quarters and a powerful fleet. Washingtin lay
above them, witching. 'them carefully, eluding off
their parties whenevee ey ventured out; or, whew
they clime. out in fiat i
, ms, takintrup such strong
ground and offering ba rbestop spot/. terms that they
did not dare, in a single instance, Ineciept,lL. If it
be the Intention of Sherman to take either or tide
cities, he has first to take it, whibli hem ill - fled ho

with the army that will certainly confront ntle,,he
will find no easy undertaking. As for openliag any,

him, that we take to be out of the question. •Inlfie
Revolutionary's's", the British, besides having pos..
session of Oharimiton and Georgetown, had posts all.
rough the State. When they were finally corn-
F
dleif to abandon thesolatter, they all retired into
harleston, and Green held the whole country,
while they attempted no further enterprise. If Sher-.
man go to either Charleston or Savannah, and there,
be shut up by .our armies, it will probably be the
best thing that can happen to either of these States,
since It will be the means of leaving them free and
uninterrupted by the presence of the enemy in the
agricultural country. Our own impression, how
ever, is that this expedition has been undertaken
with a view to render,asslatance to Grant. ' Savan
nah or Charleston once taken, it would be very easy
to transfer Sherman's whole force to the lines be
fore Richmond and Petersburg. Richmond is now
the prevailing , Yankee idea, and all other enter
prises dwindle into Insignificance in comparison ,
with that directed immediately against Richmond.
As our readers win observe, all our tidings from
Sherman are gathered froln the editorials of the
rebel journals. Their W ar Department and the
press reporters are perfectly silent. Not a single
despatch from the centre of - Interest to both our-.
selves and the enemy is printed. The Richmond'
editors all declare that they have a reasonable
'anxiety to lay before their readers all the latest
and most reliable news from Georgla' as well' as '
from other parts of the Confederacy, but "under 1
existing ciroumstinces are not at all vexed when
neither the mail nor the telegraph speaks anything
of Sherman." They consider that the Yankees are
eagerly looking for such news .thriaigh thelifoll- .!
mond press that they may direct other incevemlnts,
but they have no deaire.to give it, and recondl•
themselves to the'silence of the reporters and de •
reticence of the Department. Bat the. Examiner
of the eAd, bearing these things in mindin oommen
with its cotemporaries, says :
Froni all that we have heard to-day, we are dis- •
posed to believe that the enemy have occupied MU- .
ledgeville, the capital of Georgia, and compelled a,
summary adjournment of the Legislature recently '•••
in session there. The prevalenotoof the small'pox,l
and the necessity of moving in some direction will"
doubtless relieve the people of Milledgeville from a •
protracted occupation of their town. It is also said'
that the enemy have severed railroad connection at , .
Gordon, twenty miles from Macon, the. point at*,
which the Eatonton branch of the Central Georgia 1
Railroaddiverges from the main stem. Tele oats us :
oft from direct communication with Macon, and
leaves the fate of that city Involved in unoe rtainty.
The movements of Kilpatrick, commanding Sher
man/a cavalry, seem to indicate a purpose to avoid
both Macon and Augusta,-and seek an "objective
point" on the coast, near, Savannah. If he was
aiming for Augusta we are hopeful that he is "too
late," as we - were still in communication with that
city yesterday, and private telegrams received state
that the people are oonfideut-of the repulse of the
Yankees should they approach the city.
The Examiner of the 24th sags : Let us not forget
the lessons of the first American Revolution: In the .
last years of that struggle, the British columns
penetrated the country in many directions—marohed
clear through—yet gained not one valuable result.
On the contrary, the war was brought to a conch- .
Bien by those identical successes in appearance,
failures in fact. The country rote behind them ; the
American forces permanently severed the commu
nications of. army with army; and the event of, the'
triumphal processions of the British generals through
Georgia, South Carolina and North Caroline was
the surrender of the armies-which had accomplished
almost without resistance those splendid feats. If
Sherman should continue to meet with as little'.
opposition or attack as he has done for le hundred
miles, through another hundred miles, his own real
danger is only increased by what seems to be the
accomplishment of his plans. He has to deal with a
. ice which has hafted the best of generals and the
most powerful of armies—a* area of territory too
great for occupation, and a hostile population too
numerous to be controlled by any single column.
But are these the only adversaries with which Sher
man toust. contend' - We know nothing of the mill.
.tary dispositions to meet the contingency of his
adopting the present campaign, and we would not
expose our knowledge in a newspaper even if we
bad It. It Is difficult to believe, however, that a
movement so probable, so long threatened, and so
suggestive of a coun ter plan as that,of Sherman,
should not have been fatly calculated and provided
against by the Confederate Connell. Never, lance
the time that Cornwallis was entrapped In Virginia,
has an army or a general ventured on snob manifest
danger as Sherman has. done. We 'shall - Ile - truly
surprised and mortified if he estop& from it, and
reopens communication with his Government.

. . •
LA _
"MR. MAYOR ADilO3, AND IatINTLRMRN :
thank you for this cordial greeting; the' more soft - 0m
its being an expression of the approbation of my
fellow-citizens. Mr. Mayor, there .have been those
who have left Roxbury, and have come back be
fore me to this hall to be welcomed, who, after
hard service in the' field or suffering In prison,
have received your welcome here. It was meet
that you should welcome them. God only. knows
what .the motives have been in the enemies of cme
country to break into fragments these St4tes of
America. Here you have the rebel armies, and
on the other side of the Atlantic you have enemies
who are going through Europe planting the seeds of
disaffection. Yon hear filial all sides the cry of the
mtnarchists, that ftmeritia has been a failure, that
the is no longer the land of freedom, but that ono is
the landpf tyrunllY.
'r - ow, it seems to me that you should welcome
those who have gone forth to defend their coun
try, and, therefore,l thank. you on behalf of my
fellow-40(ms, and of- my crew, for this ,cordial
_welcome. I would dwall,a little longer upon the
fight -that took place between the •Alabama and
the Kee.rsarge, Int I know that pretty much all
_or the incidents connected with that, action are
:points,
familiar to you ; but there .are certain
.points, perhaps, which you have not been at
unabated with. You, perhaps, are not aware,
many
'of you, that - a member of Parliament, Mr. Laird,
-was the builder of the Alabama ; that she received
-the most remarkable appointments for a man-of-
Star ; that she was everywhere received as a man
ot:war, manned oy Englishmen ; and as she was
looked upon in England as a maroof-war manned
by Englishmen, it was felt after the action that a
ship of England had been destroyed. [Applause.]
" The event occurred while Americana were in a
state of depression, and they were at once lineal:nit
and the English nation were at once forced into
their place. Now, ladies andgentlemen, there
are many things about a sailor's life and
about sea life which, It appears, are so interesting
to you that you have , given us this welcome;' you
welcome us for having passed many hardships and
toils; but whatever the cost, whether it be for sus
taining the Hag of the country when it had been
east down by the rod oross of England, by the power
of an English crew, or for whatever cause it may
be, I thank you again in behalf of the officers and
crew of the Kearsarge for your cordial welcome?'
