Sherman has destroyed forage and provisions enough to subsist the rebel army from three to six months. In one place he destroyed over $2,000,000 of property and in other places immense stores. Thousands of bushels of wheat were consumed. He brought in large droves of cattle, several thousand head of mules, 8,000 negroes, and over 4,000 prisoners, with trifling loss of men and material on onr side. In addition to this, by the destruction of very important railroad lines, General Sherman.,has released General McPherson’s corps from guard duty along the Mississippi and restored him to active service. Gen. Grant, when on his way East, expressed himself entirely satisfied with the situation of military affairs, and spoke in the highest terms of Gen. Sherman’s expedition, which had given the rebellion the severest blow since the fall of Vicksburg. FROM CHATTANOOGA.

The Titan, in charge of a Confederate raid ing party, was discovered about 4 o’clock on Saturday afternoon slowly hugging the shore, hut on reaching the mouth of the' Piankatank *he increased her speed and traveled up the stream. One of the Federal gunboats, the Tulip* was immediately despatched after her, but she escaped, as the Tulip, on account of shallow water, was not able to follow her. The Titan was taken to a place called Free port, where she was burned by the rebels on Monday morning, after her machinery hadheen removed. The goods were removed to this place on Monday, and some of the captors were about to have an auction sale, but the gunboats mak ing their appearance the goods, were hastily removed inland. The officers of the Baltimore learned in the Piankatank that the raiders were led by Lieuts. Maxwell and Fitz Hugh, formerly of our navy. For the same reason that the Tulip was un able to overhaul the Titan, the boats of the ex pedition failed to ascend as far as Freeport.

This was an action or covenant brought by the plaintiff upon a policy of Insurance of defendants, issued upon the 24th of November, 1860, for one year, from the 22d December, 1860, npon the plaintiff’s interest, insured at 53,000, in the brie John Welsh, valued at 812,000. The perils in sured against were of the seas, fires, pirates, rovers, assailing thieves, jettisons, barratry, Ac , and it w as provided that the Company should not be liable for any claim for a loss by seizure, cap ture or defection, or the consequences of any attempt thereat. The brig was captured on the fith of July, 1861, bythejeft'. Davis, which vessel was subsequently captured, brought into the port oi Philadelphia, indicted, tried and convicted of piracy iu the Cir cuit Court of the-. United States. On the trial in *he NisiPrius, Justice Lowrie directed the jury to find for the Insurance Com pany, and lo this tne plaintiff objected and took a writ of error to the Supreme Court, alleging umt it was error in the judge in directing the judgment to be entered for the defendants, thereby assuming that the loss was not within the words of the policy. The pla ntiff urges that those who c-ptured the John Welsh were pirates, and were held to be so on the trial in th. Circuit Court. The Insurau. e Company contend tiiat the capture. ct the John Welsh was not a piratical loss in the sense of the policy in question; that iu the meaning of contracts of insurance and of the policy in question it was a war loss, the vessel being a-privateer, commissioned by the rebel government The defendants also urge that the policy was a peace policy, while the risk now sought to be recovered for is a war risk. The case was fully argued this morning and held under advisement. FLOUR. FLOUR. O. A.
