Because he didn't see why he should waste resources on them.

They were helping him to "make Georgia howl" as Grant had ordered - in fast, more than his own troops were, because the troops were under strict order not to commit assaults on the person. Those assaults were nearly always carried out by the lawless 'Bummers'.

As Sherman marched south to Atlanta, Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston proposed to stop him by employing a strategy of defensive maneuvers and retreating to create a stronger line of defense. Johnston aimed to avoid direct confrontation with Sherman's larger forces, instead focusing on delaying tactics and leveraging the terrain to his advantage. He planned to engage in skirmishes and use fortifications to wear down Sherman's troops while preserving his own forces for a more decisive confrontation later on.
