SHERMAN.
Even according to the latest rebel reports,
seems to be doing well. Those accounts re
present him , as having abandoned the short
est route for Augusta, and appearing to be
drifting towards Savannah. Re was delay
ing for the purpose of gathering supplies,
While his territorial range was not too con
tracted by the operations of Wheeler.---The
Augusta Constitutionalist thinks that he has
not for a moment hesitated as to the point
to be attacked or the road to it, saying i "The
enemy broke camp at Louisville early in the
morning of the 2d inst., abandoning the
shortest route to Augusta, moving by a new
route in the direction of Savannah."—The
Constitutionalist lays out the following cam
paign fOr him; being the most natural and
feasible one. Forage and provision trains
being full, he will pass his entire army to
Millen : then throwing his cavalry in the
rear, he will put his wagon trains between
the two wings of his army and march in a
compact column steadily but cautiously on
the city of Savannah.
News from , the Coast, obtained in various
ways, leaves no doubt that Sherman's ad
'ranee is within about eight miles of Savan
nah, waiting , for the main body, to come up.
Respecting lila progress since leaving At
lanta, a Port Royal correspondent of•the
Baltimore American, gives the following_con
elusions up to the time of writing, Decem
ber 5 :
1. That Genera Sherman's march up to
the time he reached Millen was practically
unopposed, the only fighting being cavalry
skirmishes between Kilpatrick and Wheeler.
This fact accounts for Sherman's slow move
ments, he having made thorough work in
laying waste the country.
2. His march has created a tremendous
panio. He has swept all Central Georgia
clear of grain, forage, horses, mules and ne
groes. It is supposed he will reach the sea
coast with two able-bodied negroes for every
white soldier in his ranks. It is understood
that General Sherman will only allow able
bodied males to accompany his army, as wo
mrih and children would necessarily impede
his march.
3. Not having fought many battles in Cen
tral Georgia, and having kept his army well
together, (for the rebels do not claim to have
made any captures of men) General Sher
man will reach the coast with his army in
splendid fighting trim, and an abundance
of ammunition and shot. This is a fact of
immense importance, in view of the battle
which is inevitable before coming in sight of
blue water.
4. There is the best reason for believing
that, in addition to the negroes, General
Sherman's army will be reinforced by some
ten thousand Union prisoners. There is a
deserter's story that the prisoners in camp
near Millen, hearing of the approach of
Sherman, overpowered their guard and scat
tered themselves over the country like hun
gry wolves. Exactly how many reached the
Union army is not known, but the story
seems probable, and is believed in high cir
cles here.
All things considered, it is . now almost
certain that Sherman will reach the seacoast.
in safety and his army intact, after having,
inflicted immense damage upon the enemy.
a
TENNESSEE
There is no material change in affairs be
fore Nashville. A rebel brigade has left;
taking the course towards Murfreesboro, but
whether with design upon that place, or on
a foraging expedition, is uncertain. On the
9th inst. a fleet of gun-boats from Nashville
went down the river to a point where the
rebel batteries are located, engaged them,
and drove the rebels back from the river;
after which they returned to the city•
At „latest accounts Gen. Burbridge was at
Beans' stationin East Tennessee, with his
force in good working condition. Breck
enridge had, in consequence, been compelled
to withdraw his entire force, excepting' a
small cavalry detachment, beyond . Bull's
ap
G.
The river below Nashville is well blocked
edlby rebel batteries along the shore, and is
not likely to be speedily opened, unless
heavier armament is sent up,
.as it probably
will be. Hood is unquestionably strongly
intrenohed, and though the defensive means
of General Thomas are ample, more force
will be required to enable him to push the
enemy.
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
There has been some stir during the week
—it is called the commencement of an "im
portant movement." The sth and 2d army
corps, ; General ' Craciford and Humphreys
commanding, received orders on the sth
inst., to be prepared to move at a moment's
warning. These corps were on the left. In
stantly a scene of bustle and excitementen
sued in the camps, and the men gave vent
to their enthusiasm by dancing, singing, and
ling;w for the prospect of a fight after
such long inactivity, was more cheering to
their hearts than the news that another
feast of turkeys was en route for them could
possibly have been. •The next afternoon the
order,to move came and in ten minutes after
its, reception the regiments of the sth Corps
were in motion to the rear. The order di
rented the two corps to mass between the
Halifax and Jerusalem plank roads. These
two roads run in the same general direction
as the'Weldon Railroad, the former being
to the left, and the latter to the right of it.
Here the troopawere en damped for the night.
Before day-break the next morning they
took up their line of march, and not towaide
the South-side road,' where all would' have'
chosen to go, but sbuthward, towards Stony
Creek Station. The roads were in a shabk
ing condition, but they made excellent pro
gress, and although the rain fell pitilessly,
the ardor ,of the men seemed to be but,little
cooled.
The apprehensions of the rebels of another.
advance against Stony. Creek, now a vital
point to the ene_my, have thus been confirm
ed, and doulStress they have despatched
troops to the threatened point, even before
our movement was commenced. The arrival
of Early from the Valley has enabled them
to do this witnout weakening their lines in
our front. Meanwhile, our own lines' have
not been w eakened , for the army has been
materially` reinforced of late, and is to-day,
perhaps; as strong as it ever was.
In Butler's army the long projected scheme
of forming the colored troops into a separate
eorpsi has been carried out, Gen. Weitzel
commands it. .one revelation, growing out
of the movement is , that we are not yet en
tirely free of the pest of treacherous commu
nications. ~• It-is stated As a remarkable fact
about this change, that the rebels seemed to
knovrjust when it went into effect. On the
4th inst., the necessary movements towards
earrying out the project began, and early on
thst morning of the sth the enemy's pickets
Witted to know 'when the " smoked -17;art
,
kiVati",werti to oartfroiaiihem.
°lithe 7th, General Ludlow, with detach
ments from the colored troops, crossed the
James and scattered the rebel pickets whose
presence embarrassed the work of finishing
the Dutch canal. In anticipation of this
last event, and the passage of our fleet
through it, three rebel iron-clads came down
from Richmond, on the 7th, and took up a
position to contest the progress of our ves
vels after they shall have passed the new
highway. Our guns at Fort Brady fired upon
one of them, the ram Richmond, within
good range, but the shot mere powerless
against her sides. A severe naval engage
ment on the river may now be expected.
LATER
Movements of Gen. Foster.—Gen. Foster left
Beaufort late last month with a force, put - by
the rebels at eight regiments, to co-operate
with Gen. Sherman. At Grahamsville, Dec.
Ist, he attempted to carry a rebel battery by
assault, but failed with a loss of 600 to 1000
in all. By the Donegal U. S. Steamer from
Port Royal, Dec. 7th, we learn that a joint
expedition under Foster and Admiral Dahl
gren proceeded up Broad River, Dec. 6th,
captured and destroyed Pocotaligo Biidge on
the Charleston and Savannah Rail Road 35
miles from the latter place, after which our
land forces intrenched thenaselves. General
Foster's scouts have communicatecCWith' Gderal
Sherman's Forces, which expected to be in &maw
nah, on the 14th inst.
Tennesiee and Kentucky.----Tne rebels have
been whipped in several minor, engagements
in and around Murfreesboro', They have
damaged the railroad 'in that vicinity. A
rebel force'under General Lybn, said to be
4000 strong, captured a government steamer
at Cumberland City, Kentucky, and crossed
the river, moving tastward. - '
The Potomac and the James..--Rebel papers
inform us that a, large and well , appointed

WAR ITEMS.
The Department of the Susquehannah,
(Gen. Couch's,) is discontinued. In .its.
place the Department of Pennsylvania is
created. Philadelphia is the Head Quarters,
and Gen. Cadwallader in command.—Sev
eral more blockade runners have recently
been captured, two laden with cotton and
assorted goods, by Admiral Poker, and one
with 150 bales of cotton, by Admiral Farra
gut. Also the steamer Vixen, said to belong
to the rebel government, bound in with a
valuable cargo of arms, liquors, provisions,
Fcc. Our gunboats sunk a blockade running
steamer in Charleston Harbor, on ihe night
of the Ist inst.--Detroit is threatened with
a raid from rebel refugees in Canada. The
authorities of the city and the military dis
trict, are said to have made ample prepara
tions to receive them, and thus another of
these delectable pastimes of ,those virtuous
exiles is probably spoiled.—The sympathi
zers in Louisville, Ky., seem to have got an
idea of something. Breckenridge is expect-.
ed to turn up'in a "-new and unexpected
quarter." On the Bth there was considerable
excitement arising from the arrest of gam
blers and the impressment of horses. The
street cars are temporarily stopped for want
of motive 'power. A gang of,Gen try's men
took possession of Lagrange one after
noon, injuring the railroad so as to disarrange
the trains for a few days.—From'Vicks
burgh, Dec. 4., we learn that 'General Dana,
by a successful expedition from Vicksburgh,
destroyed the Mississippi Central Railroad'
for thirty miles above Big Black ciossifig,
including Long Bridge. At that place the
enemy were found in force, but the work was
thoroughly done, and the troops returned to
Vicksburg with a loss of five killed and forty
one wounded. Two thousand five hundred
bales of Confederate cotton, and about $300,-
000 worth of property were destroyed.—
Gen. Burbridge haszuppressed the publics,
tion of Rev. Stuart Robinson's paper, the
True Presbyterian," published in Louisville,
ICy., on account of its outspoken treason.
We recollect that our quondam friend of the
Christian; Observer, in a like difficulty, resur
rected the offensive paper -in Richmond.
As Dr. Robinson is just now, and for a While
likely to be, in Canada, why sbOuld he not
pursue his editorial support of , treason undar
the protection of neutrality? •

to consider the expediency of prohibiting
trade with the rebellious districts, was agreed
to. The President's Message was received,
read, and ordered printed. The Treasury
report was received and referred.
Dsc. 7. The vote - of yesterday, referring
Mr. Stevens' bill for the suppression of gold
gambling to the committee of Ways and
Means, was reconsidered, and the bill was
laid on the table by a vote of 73 to 52. The
argument for the measure was that the pen
dency of the proposed legislation was -only
aggravating the evil, it having already sent
up the price of gold 12 per-cent. In other
words, the country's best chance with those
fleecers is to let them have their/ own way.
A resolution instructing the Judiciary Com
mittee to consider the expediency of so
amending the constitution that the number
of qualified voters instead of the en tire popu
lation in each State, shall be, the bads of
representation in Congress, was adopted.
Bills, including sailors in the provision for
naturalizing soldiers, providing for the sale
of mineral hinds, and establishing a Navy
Yard at Cleveland, were introditced and re
ferred. Resolutions instructing committees•
to consider of legislation for justice to sol
diers who have been held in service beyond
the proscribed term, for substituting inbreas-'
ed pay, for the bounty system, and subjecting
sales of every description of merchandise to
an ad yeti:A-ern:ox ; were adopted. The sub
ject of the Philadelphia Navy Yard Frauds
came up on a resolution for a committee of
inquiry, but, debate arising, the rule required
it to lie over.
DEC. 8. A discussion arose, on a motion of.
Mr. Stevens, of the Comthittee of Ways, and
Means, respecting an alleged false construc
tion, by the Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue, of the clause in the revenue act which
imposes a duty on, cigars. Cigars which
should be taying a duty $8 per thousand,•
were paying but $3, and,hanoe millions of
dollars had already been lost to the Depart
ment. It appears that the government is
also suffering by the smuggling of cigars from'
Canada. Some of the speakers believed that
the only effectual protection - would be found
in requiring a one cent stamp to be put on
every cigar sold. The subject was postponed
until Monday. A bill introduced?. by Mr.
Schenck, to strike from the rolls of the army
unemployed officers, was referred to the Mili
tary Committee. A resolution Was adopted
instructing the Judiciary Committee to con
sider the expediency of a law denationaliz
ing fugitives from the draft, and allowing
their_ return to the privileges 'of citizenship
only by, the usual process of 'naturalization.
The House adjourned over until Monday.
The Deviltry of the Times. Who or What is
Safe t—On the 29th ult., a torpedo was found.
in one of the berths of the Sound steamer
City of London. The fuse had bawl` lit, but
had become extinguished before the torpedo
was ignited, and the hellish dasign of the
perpetrators providentiallyfrustrated. It is
thought that the night before,liiit before the
City of New London started on ler regular
trip from New York, some person entered
the, boat, placed the torpedo in the berth,
lighted it, and returned on shore.
What brings People to their Senses.—The fol
lowing, from the Louisville Journal, is a spe
cimen of the way in which emancipation
must be accepted as a measure of policy and
necessity, by people who have approved it in
its loftier claims. The Journal has been an
anti-emancipation paper, and a supporter of
McClellan. "The question now," it: atiri;
" is, not how shall we save slavery, but how
shall we raise our bread, and bake it after
we have raised it? Where shall we get the
labor? We have now neither slaVery nor
freedom ; we have none, of , the benefits of
either system of labor, but are suffering the
disadvantages of both." "If we will not
emancipate at once by legislative act, ac
companied with compensation, which, as we
have shown before, is perfectly constitution
al, then there is nothing left, so far as we
can see at the present, to prevent our labor
ers slowly, yet wholly, leaving the State."

pectations of the country are, met by the
elevation of Governor Chase to the Chief
