There hadn’t been much news from Georgia in recent days. A Richmond paper tried to guess what that meant.

“troubled state”
From the Richmond Daily Dispatch November 12, 1864:
Saturday Morning…november 12, 1864.
The War News. …
Georgia.
There has been no news received from Georgia for several days. Sherman is in a troubled state, judging from his erratic movements, and does not know whether to go backward towards Atlanta, push forward towards Tennessee, or He [be?] still and await Hood’s action, Something will shortly be done, or both armies will be compelled to go into winter quarters.
