Gen. Sherman's March to Reinforce Grant.

A Chicago paper says that Gen. Sherman, in moving from Eastport, in Northern Mississippi, to Chattanooga, accomplished one of the most remarkable feats in the history of army marches. Its course for the most part lay through the enemy's country, which it "went through a kiting." A very limited amount of supplies was taken along by wagon, and the whole country for miles on either flank was stripped of every article of food and every pound of forage. The citizens were sorely pressed for the necessities of life, but the safety and sustenance of armies was balanced against this fact, and the beam swung in favor of the latter. All animals capable of carrying a soldier, his gun and blanket, were pressed into the service; and almost the whole command consequently came mounted. Such rigs were never seen before. Some had strapped a blanket around the frail, haggard frames of hunger-pinched horses, and were plodding leisurely along, looking like the fit followers of the Knight de la Mancha after an arduous and fruitless adventure.
