We move slow to-day, reach Gordon, the junction of the Milledgeville
Railroad, by noon. The work of destruction is now going on; the railroad is
being destroyed; we cross the railroad and go into camp two miles from Gordon.
The whole country is clouded with smoke. This mighty army is making a terrible
sweep. The legitimate vengeance of this government is now falling upon this
rebellious people.
