GOOD NEWS FROM GENERAL SHERMAN.
Cincinnati, March 9. —Gen. 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.

THE CAPTURE OF THE TITAN.
■Washington, March 9.— The Star has the
following:—The steamer Baltimore arrived
here yesterday from Piankatank, whither she
went on Saturday to head off, if possible, the
tug Titan, captured near Cherrystone Point.
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.

‘ ‘New Bedford, Mass., Nov. 24, 1563.
Dear Sir—l have been afßictedmany years with
severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet
aid bands, and a general disordered system. Phy
sicians and medicines filled to relieve me. While
visiting some lriends In New York who were using
Plantation Bitters they prevailed upon me to trv
them. I commenced with a small wine glassful
a ter dinner, i eeing better by degrees, in a few
days 1 was astonished to find the coldness and
cramps had entirely left me, and I could sleep the
night through, which I have not done for years I
feel like another being. My appetite and strength
have also greatly improved by the use of the Plan

. vs. The Insurance Company of the State of
Pennsylvania. Certificate from the Nisi Frias.
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.
