ADVANCE OF GBANT’S A.EMY.
Binggold, Geo., Feb. 23.—General Palmer’s
forces occupied Klnggold this afternom Our
mounted infantry, in advance, drove out a small
rebel pa rol foand at Colorado, two miies from
here. Tbistown is a perfect desert, only seven
families are left in the place, which formerly ‘had
Uiree thousand inhabitants.
General Palmer has remained in peaceful pos
session of Ringgold, Ga.« and the Gap covering
Gbattanooga. Tne enemy may yet accept his in
vitation and fight.
Humor had it yesterday that Hardee was west of
Irfilayette, Ga., trying to cross Lookout Moun
tain and make a descent to Bridgeport, but that Is
false. General Palmer pushed a detachment into
to-day, driving the enemy out.
The enemy suppose that Grant has been concen
trating at Knoxville to drive Longstreet, thus
weakening Chattanooga, and may be foolish
enough to attack us here. Look out for active
cpei auons before April.
John Sheppard, of the 9th Kentucky,
has been exchanged.
GENERAL SHERMAN’S EXPEDITION.
* [From the Richmond Sentinel, Feb. 18.]
From the commencement ot the late .movement
of the enemy in Mississippi the telegraph has been
dnmb. We observe from our exchanges received
Jrom the more Southern cities that they are equally
without telegraphic tidings from the seat of opera
tions The j-ress Association will have nothing to
♦odj right from that quarter. We that,
for some public purpose, ait laid on the
newb agents,so that the press is thrown on private
and ordinary sources of information.
The Mobile Tribune, of the lith inst., says the
enemy were certainly at Morton on Tuesday, the
9th. Of their further movements, the Tribune
says: Whether the enemy is marching from
Morton to war. s Meridian, or Enterprise, or towards
some point lowct down on the railroad i# not known
to u&. It is probable that he is aiming for the
Bigbee river.
Ofihis, however, we know nothing. It is only
tertain that one of the chief objects of his move
ment is the capture of this city; ana although he
has not yet got it, yet, as we have repeatedly
urged upon our readers, it is the doty ot-the cit
izens to prepare fer the worst; to consider it as an
unquestionable fact that they are likely to be sub
mitted to the horrors of an attack which will be
full of danger to every one of them, for the city
will be defended to the last. The difference be
tween it and Charleston or Vicksburg, in a siege,
is obvious. Comparatively, the natural positions
of these places give security. Here there is very
little, if the enemy bring the heaviest artillery.
We make this preface to the following note from
Maj»-r-General Maury. What he merely advises,
he may be obliged to enforce by a formal order
Within a few days:
• 'Mobile, Feb. 10, 1664.— Dear Sir: I have just
been informed by Gen. Potk that the enemy is
moving from Morton to Mobile. It is, therefore,
my duty to ask all persons who cannot take part
in the defence of ihe eity to leave it.--. I am, sir,
very truly and respecttuliy yours,
“DABNEY H. MAURY,
“Major General Commanding.
“To Mb. Ballejjttse. *
, Notwithstanding ibis opinion of the General’s,
the Mobile EegUter, of the same date; does not
think that Mobile is the point aimed at.' It says:
The more we reflect upon it the less >we are dis
posed to believe that General Sherman is marching
from Horton upon thi6 city, and we should not be
surprised to learn that, having cleared his front
of the Confederates bj£heru«, he has turned his
lace eastward and pounced upon Meridian. It is
at least one hundred and sixty miles from Morton
to Mobile. If he comes in a straight line, he must
open new roads fora large part of the way. The
country is destitute of supplies, and he must haul
all bis subsistence. To do this Would require a
train of 3000 wagon?—one heavy rain would stop
nis artillery and baggage trains. If he should suc
ceed in getting here, and plant himself in front ot
our fortifications, what is he to live on. He cannot
< be supplied from a base of two hundred miles dis
tant. ,
When we hear that the enemy has established a
base on the coast, a< d opened a water communi
cation for his supplies, we shall begin to think
tfcatGen, Sherman is serious in the enormous
fiank movement he is now supposed to be making.
At present we do not credit it. Again, does any
one suppose that Sherman is dragging a siege
tram from Yicksbnrg to this pla:.e? And without
can.be do against our defences? Admit
that he has 65 pieces of artillery. If it is field ar
tillery he might have a thousand and. do us no
harm. It is stated and repeated positively that
feherman’s army is moving light with very little
impedimenta of any sort—-not even a large subsist
-race tram, and that he started -with twelve dirs
of cooked rations. J

Esmbhyb Dmayiissx w Alabama, Hoar,
GOiEERY, Feb. 6th, 1864. '—The recent action of
Congress has deprived the of much of the
material of the second-class militia. Itis impor
tftnt to the defence of the State that Alabama shall
have more troops sutject to die call of'tn*r Oom
mander-in-Chicf We have-within the State the

but the spirit, the prompt and willing spirit to

We are threatened with raids into the heart of the
ctate.
As your Executive Chief, I call upon the mid
dlc-agcd, thp young men and the boys to organize
l£ to at once, and report without del »y
that they are organized-and ready. I cannot, sup
pose that Alabamians will wait to be drafted int>
the service. The enthusiastic re-enlistment of our
veteran troops in. the Virginia and Tennessee
aimies a thrill of joyful hope to ani
mate the hearts of even the croaking and despon

years have caxr»cd their iivesin their hands, ready
to be sacrificed in defence of h. mes ana liberty, a'©
willing to battle on whilst the feet- of a foe
press our soil, shall we at home be laggards in the

I confidently expect a hearty, prompt and noble
response to this call. T

GEN. SMITH’S CAVALRY EXPEDITION.
Memkhis, Feb. 20.—Gen. Smith’s Cavalry Ex
pedition was followed and harassed by Forrest
and Chalmers* forces. A detachment of the Nine
teenth Pennsylvania Cavalry had arrived from
the Tallahatchie River, where they they left Gen.
Smith’s command and returned with despatches.
The courier reports that the Tallahatchie River
was guarded for fifteen miles in from Holly
Springs, as Forrest expected that tbe expedition
would cross near that place. 'Gen. Smith’s ad
vanced brigade of infantry occupied the enemy
from this erne, while-he moved east to New Al
bany, Miss., witn his cavalry, where he expected
to make a crossing on the lGtb, but was delayed
for twenty-four hours by the slow movements of
"Waring’s brigade.
The emmy was taken completely by surprise by
this movement, and General Smith entered Pon
totoc on the 17th, where skirmishing was going on
when the courier left. All were in fine spirits,
and confident of penetrating the vitals of tne Con
federacy, and coming out safely. Twenty-lour
prisoners weio taken on the Tallahatchie.

A REBEL AMBUSCADE—ATTACK ON THE
2D MASSACHUSETTS CAVALRY.
Washington, Feb. 23.—Yesteiftfay morning,
about 11 o’clock, as a detachment or the 2d Ma*.
sachusetts Cavalry, under Capt J. S.. Reed, who
had been out on a soouting-expedition, were return
ing towards Drainsville, on the way to Vienna,
they were attacked on the Drainsville pike, ab>ut
two-miles from the latter place, by a gang of reb**l
guerillas, supposed to be under the command of
the notorious* Mosby, concealed in the pines.
The detachment of the 2d Massachusetts Ca
valry consisted oi about 150 men, while Mosby
had, itissnppoeed, at least between 200 and 300.
Our cavalry were fired upon from the dense pine
wood near Drainesville and retreated- Afterwards
eight of our msn 'were found dead and seven
wounded, while it is supposed that at least 50 to
,75 were taken prisoners. At least, so many are
mn.6ing, though as scattering ones are coming in
from time to time, the number will doubtless be
considerably reduced. Amoug the
prisoners is Captain Manning, of
Maine. Captain J. S. Reed, the commander of
the detachment, was shot through the langs and
died a few moments after being wounded. His
body has been brought to this city and will be em
balmed by JJrs. Brown and Alexander, and thence
will be sent North to his wile, who lives in Dor
chester, Moss. Mosby beat a precipitate retreat.
Troops were at once sent in pursuit of the
guerillas, but the pursuing party had not been
heard from.
ROBBERY OF A PAYMASTER:
Some time last night, Major Muloue, a Paymas
ter in the U. S. Army, was robbed of §70,b00,
which he had drawn from the Treasnrv for the
purpose of carrying to the iront,in orde'r to pay
certain regiments there. It apppars that alter
drawing the money he took it to his home and put
it in a tronlt.under his bed. Daring tne night the
trunk was taken from his room, and this morning
a servant in the house found the trunk in the
stable, broken open, and an amount of postage
currency scattered about. A {number of arrests
have “been made, and among them that o! Mr
Briggs, the Paymaster’s clerkly detective* Dugan
and Kelly, but as yet no money has been lound
The detectives are, *however. activel> at work,
endeavoring to ferret ou*. the robbers. It is rather
a suspicious looking case.
Brandt Station, Feb. 22.—The 2d Corps ball
came off, last night, at Gener.il Warren’s head
quarters, in a large ball-room built for the occa
sion, out of lumber cut ip ►aw mills in the neigh
borhood. The room was festooned with flags aud
evergreens Two bands furnished music, and
around them were stacks of arms, cannon and ac
coutrements. In an adjoining building an ele
gant supper was set out at an expense of
about two thousand dollars. About four bun
died 'ladies were present, and among the
guests were Vice-President Hamlin, Senator
Sprague and lady. Senator Hale, lady and daugh
ters, Senator Wilkinson, Mrs. Judge Ml ler, Sec
retary TJf-herand several members of Foreign Le
gations, and nearly all the General and Field Offi
cers of the Army of the Potomac. All passed off
pleasantly, and the affair was the greatest success
of any military ball ever held in camp.
It is again rumored that the army of the Potomac
will be divided into three corps under Generals
Sedgwick, Pleasonton. and Hancock. Gen-rai
Kiipatiick will be in charge of the cavalry, it is
said. '
