XHE ADVANCE ON MOBILE.
CF?om che Richmond Examiner. Feb. 19.1
The news from the Southwest ft important.
Sherman continues uninterruptedly to advance
upon Mobile bp the line of the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad. An official despatch to the War Depart
ment, yesterday, announces that he hu arrived at
Quitman, a Tillage on the Mobile and Ohio Bail
load, 100 miles from Mobile. Though the enemy
hat not pet met with opposition, we feel authorized
in sayiDg that he will not be permitted to take noa
srscion Of Mobile without a desperate battle. This
advance i\f the enemy iSi beyond comparison, the boldest
movement oj the war . On the 12vn last. Sherman,
with between 26,000 ana 30.000 men, provided with
20 days’ cooked latione, left Vicksburg, and took up
the lineof march eastward, tear trig up the railroad
and 'bridges; pi the- tear. Clearly he meditates no step
backward^
The moving spirit in this army is one J. B. Mc-
Pherson, of Ohio, a very young officer, with the;
rack in the tegular army of junior captain of the
OOtps Of engineers, and in the r»nk of the provisional
army of‘brigadier. This Is the man who made
Giant .famous, and he is now to try what he cau do
for Sherman, who is himself a mau of ability, and
in every way the superior of (3-rant. Since the be
ginning of tbe war success has invariably attended
the plans of McPherson. It was he who planned
the bold 1 and sucoeisful movement on Vicksburg,
ft e hope his good luck has bred in him a rashness that
will be his ruin.
[From tbe Richmond Ex amlner. Feb. 181
The War Department received yesterday an offi
cial despatch mat the enemy had made ademon
stratiob with gunboats and a laud force at Grant’*
Pats, about thirty- five miles from Mobile- The de
monstration was bloodless, as the tire of the enemy
fell short. Grant*® Pmi is su artificial cut Into

column is approaching oy the Mobile and Ohio

which is about forty-five miles f;oot Mobile by rail.
The situation of Mobile is, undoubtedly, critical.

The reported advance of the enemy in Mississippi,

into an Important and serious attempt of the entmy
to bisect that State, and threaten Mobile irum the

evening, at John’s Island. He Is, to-day, in pursuit.
Our" loss very trifling. The force of the enemy U
about two thousand; ours about one-half.
G. T. BEAUKEGABD.”
This viotory, and that in Florida, are well-timed
and important occurrences. It may be stated now
that some days ago aen. Beauregard had Indicated
the belief that the erremy wan meditating an attach
on our coaet lines, from Charleston to Florida;
their design in the latter state extending to the oap
tuie of Tallahassee. General Wise commands a
district, as does Finnegan in Florida, and In each
case it must have been an affair of important num
bers.
[From the Savannah Hews 3
But little apprehension is felt here for the results
Ol the expedition. Ample arrangements have been
made to prevent any extended advance Into the
heart of the country, and the Uriel fear is lest they
should, by some well-contrived plan or oversight on
the part of our leaaers, succeed in making-their es
cape, and getting back to their boats at Jacksonville.
The whole expedition should be brought to sorrow,
and will be but for the very worst sort of manage
ment on our part.
THE PRISONERS.
THB GBBAT ESCAPADE PBOlt THE LIBBY.
[From the Kichmond Enunirer. Ecb. IT ]
The etcape of the Yankee officers from the Libby
continued to be the liveliest topio of yesterday, and
conjectures were rife as to the means of the escape
other than those described in the published ac
counts. The sentinels, as usual, were enriched with
laurels that their native modesty, if nothing: elie,
would cause them to deoline. After all, however,
this grand delivery does not exceed In glory or so.
crecy the escape of John Morgan irom the Ohio
Fenltentiary, and yet neither the connivance nor
carelessness of sentinels or others have received
any credit from Morgan or his historians, Yankee
or Southern. It is most probable, in fact, that this
distinguished General is, more than any body else,
responsible for the success with which Straight and
"his drums made their exit from the Libby. The
experience and example of the one was
ble lesson for the other. '
It appears that the tunnel under Twentieth street
was dug entirely with an old binge, and the loosened
earth—a brittle, marly sand—removed with an old
sygnr scoop stolen from the hospital gmrtflH. As
the tunnel progressed, the miner took with him, be
sides his tools, an old-fashioned knapsack, made.
upon a wooden frame, to whloh a cord was attaohed.
When he tilled this with earth, it was drawn out by
an accomplice wbo remained In the cellar, the con
tents deposited safely out of the way, and it was
then shoved back to the digger with a pole.
The basement itseMl In which' this work was ear
ried en, was kept eonatantly locked, never used, and
the widowß being tightly nailed, it was as dark as
pitch. The principal m the tunneling operation was
Captain J. N. Johnson, of the 6th Kentucky Caval
ry, who is among the escaped. His accomplices.
were different, as ocoasion or private arrangement
fiem&ndeda a,
On several oocaiions it bad been observed that thir
Johnson was absent from roll*call, and now and
then two or three others, a oircumatauee not very
gratifying to the olerk having the roll to call, who,
of course, would have It to go over again. A short
time after he would appear and make his presence
knows, and would give u an exouse that it was
only a little fun—“just deviling the clerk 11 On one
occasion* ighen this thing had occurred once too
often, he was called up lor punishment, when he
plead very earnestly, with a broad, good natured
grin, that he was k ‘ only joking, and was rolled up
in his blanket when hxa name was called.” He was
excused this time with a warning. He took good
oaie to keep better hours in quarters, while the
work continued below to its completion.
Immediately after the esoape was discovered and
the first to go In pursuit, Mr. John Ligon, Assistant
Clerk, with Orderly Hatcher, Warden R. R. Tur
ner, and two policemen went off in the direction of
the Peninsula, and up to yesterday evening had sig
nalized their promptness and energy by the recap
ture of eight ot the fugitives, whom they ptckedjup on
the roads. Fourteen others were brought in during
Wednesday night and yesterday, by pickets on the
Chickshominy. {Several were captured at Bottoms
Bridge, some in Hanover, but the larger number *
only a few miles from the city. Intelligence was ob
tained that a number of them Were trying to get
through in the direction of Fredericksburg. Anoth
er batch, recaptured in that direction, is looked for
today. We give below the list of those who had
up to six o’clock last evening been returned to thett
oid quarters at the Libby. The energy and solici
tude of Major Turner are subjeots of deserved oom*
xnendation.
One of the captures of Wednesday was made by
11 an American citizen of African descent.” The
dusky captor was fengaged in a matutinal “dig” in
his potato patch, when he observed the fugitive ofa
cer streaking it across the field. Seeing that he wore
suspiciously blue garments, the darkey hailed him
and asked him where he was 4< gwlne.” Something
to the effect of 11 nowhere” being the reply, the
darkey, with courage and patriotism worthy of im
mortality, brought his hoe to a *• charge,” and re
sponded, ‘'Yes you is, cough—you done broke out o’
one o’ dem prison B—come along—you gbt to go wid
jue. l * s He matched him to the house, handed him
over to his master, and returned to his potato patch,
covered with glory. The Yankee arrived, under due

The grand ball of the 2d Corps, which came off at
Gen. Warren’s headquarters last night, was attended
by a Jaxge number of distinguished army officers aod
civilians, and surpassed, in point of elegance,and at
tractiveness, anything of the kind ever held -in the
Aimy of the Pototuac. Ao ong the (Ustinkuisbed
civilians piesent were Vice President tiamlio;
Senator Sprague and wife; Secretary Usher, of the

Among the officers present were Cteaorals

cious, the decorations especially laetefu/, the music
excellent, the supper—under the supervision of Gau
tier, the celebrated Washington restaurateur —irre-
pxoacbable, and nothing occurred to mar tbe festivi
ties of tbe occasion. Nearly one hundred and fifty

THE CASE OF GENERAL NEGLEY.
A brother of General Negley replies as follows in
the Cincinnati Commercial to a defence of General
Negley in tbe Pittsburg Chronicle, involving some
Strictures of the conduct of General Brannan:
It is not true that General Brannan has been guilty
of the iinufficer-like conduot of“ indulging in free
speeches” against his superior in rank. Major Gene
ral Negley.
It is not true that he entertains, or has entertained
“hostility,” disguised or undisguised, to Major Gen.
Negley.
It iB not true that he has “ employed others to write
letters defaming Major General Negley.”
It is not true that he “ actually wrote letters him
self, defamir g Major General Negley.
It is true, however, that the only foundation for
this series of falsehoods may be discovered in the
t fficial report of General Brannan, of the operations
of his division (the 3d) of tbe 14 dr Army Corps, in
the battle of Ohickamauga. The allusion, in that
report, to cei tain irregular and unmilitary acts of
Major General Negley, (whloh imperiled, the 3d
division in that hard-fought battle more than the as
saults of the enemy), is now being examined into by
tbe court of tiquiry, at Louisville, and thereault of
the investigation may show no necessity for the over
zealous friends of Major General Negley to fortify
his military reputation by unjust and groundless
assaults upon the character Uf-others, who turned
- not their backs to the foe, until the field was won,
and the roar of the battle had ceased. B. F. B.
Cincinnati, February 20,1864,
INTERVIEW WITH THE WIDOW OF EX-
PRESIDENT FOLK.
Correspondence of the Cincinnati Times reoords
an interview with Mrs. Polk at her beautiful resi
dence in Nashville:
Much has been said of Mrs. Fulk’asecessionism.
Op this, and a hundred.topics that constituted some
of the themes of our converse, we shall have but
little to say, as with this retiring and truly modest
woman,
“ it is a same and an attainment, M
to shun as much as possible the public gaze. We
will, nevertheless, give here some portion of our
talk on this theme.
I said to her: “Mrs. Polk, I have heard you ac
cused, since I have been in Nashville, of being a bit
ter Secessionist; how is this t”
She quickly and warmly responded, in substance,
as follows: 44 Mr. G——, that is a wrongful accu
sation. I never was a Secessionist, and I don’t
think I ever will be one. I always said there was
no excuse for the course taken by my misguided
Southern friends. I said that Mr, Lincoln was con
stitutionally elected, and that that election should
be acquiesced in by every true patriot. I go, sir, for
my Government—my whole Government.”
' ft in other words, Mrs. Polk,” we responded, 44 you
fo-for that United States of which your late honored
usband was once the President 1”
“ Yes, sir,” she responded, with marked emphasis,
“ I do. I know my name has been placed before the
public—once at least—in a connection that may have
engendered in some minds doubts of my loyalty; but
was so placed against my wishes and remonstrances.
But inasmuch as it was done for a humane and
charitable purpose, I said nothing publicly about it.
Ido not deny,” she added, “that my womanly sym
pathies are with the South, and that I often catch
myself exulting over the success of the Confederate
aims, but this is only when my reason is taken
prisoner and my judgment temporarily suspended
at the bidding ol my sympathies, prejudices, and
affections. I was born in the South. From infancy
to old age—for my days now, you know,
‘ ’ Are in the sera and yellow leaf
my surroundings have all been Southern. My rela
tives, my friends, and, more than all, my late, loved,
and honored husband, were all of that ‘sunny
clime.’ Is it, then, reasonable to suppose that, 4 in
a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.’ with the
Yrosts of many winters upon my head, I caa. throw
off. as I would a garment, all the affections, all the
endearing associations, all the prejudices (if you
please) of a long life! No! no! this cannot be.
And yet, dear sir, notwithstanding all this, I long,
and pray, and yearn for a restoration of my distract*
ed country to its former peaeeful and happy condi
tion ; for a restoration of the 4 Union as it was.’ ”
MISCELLANEA.
Gon. McFHBBSOir, commanding the 17th Army
Corps, which is participating in General Sherman’s
expedition, issued an address to his troops before
leaving Vicksburg, in which he told them that the
expedition would oe a short one. A correspondent
of the New York Herald, who accompanies Gen.
McPherson’s corps, says:
44 There is not a tent in the entire command , nof
even for the officers. We consequently move rapid*
ly. Headquarters are covered only by the canopy
of heaven, and as 1 write these few lines of to day’s
operations, I look around me and see many of the
staff already snugly coiled up under their blankets,
with a long line of feet facing a camp fire of similar
length. Fortunately the weather has been all that
could be wished, and, if it continues, this expedi
tion will undoubtedly be one of the most successful
and glorious of this winter’s campaign.”
Apprehensions op an Invasion op Mary
land.—A private letter received in this city, from
Hagerstown, Md„ states that owing to the appre
hensions of a rebel invasion early in the spring,
many of the farmers in that section the State are

West. Washington county is one of the largest ana
best wheat-growing counties in the State of Mary
land, but since thebreaking out of the rebellion the
farmers have been suoh heavy losers by having their
crops destroyed by the rebel army that many of them
put out an unusually small crop of wheat last fall.—

In that section of variable depths It may allow pas

4 By the way,’j said his friend, 1 1 have a shell I can
give you, from Pulaski,’ and going behind the
counter he pulled the shell out from among some
rubbish, when a mouse leaped from the hole and
escaped. Somewhat surprised, he explored the in
terior with a stiok, and found a nest of half a dozen
young mice Inside, and eleven'dollars in postal cur
rency, that be had at times missed from the draWbr,
the loss of whieh he had imputed to other agenoies.
The new currency was untouched, while the old was
somewhat nibbled by the little marauder, who had

’upon such aubjeeta must, of necesaity, be vagrant
and uncertain, but the general leaning among promt-'
nent men of the party aeema unmlatakable.'
The genuineness of the Fomtroy manUesto la seri
ously questioned bv aome, and tbe explicit denial
published In tbe Washington Republican ia cited aa
evidence of the hoax- Be that aa it may, however,
the result has been attained, and the Republican
press diawn ipto an expreatfon of aeatimont which
it msy be hard to recall.
THE FAIR.
A peon liar but valuable donation has been made to
tbe Sanltaiy Commission by George Elliott, Erq., or
London. It conaiata of a thousand tons of gas-coal,
and la delivered free at the point of shipment. The
tranaaction la through Cyrus W. Field, Esq., who is
now in LondOD. The oargo ia to be sold for the
hentflt of the Metropolitan Fair, and will. It is said,
bring fifteen thousand dollars. The Secretary of the
Treasury has isßued an order which allows alllm
ports lor the Fair to pasa free of duty. The raffling
qurstlonls st length deoided. The protesting clergy
men have carried their point, and raffling ia forokl
den. The letter which contains the information it,
however, aomewhat pungeDtly bitter regarding the
rough-shod way in which the question was original
ly debated, and trusts that tbe Fair vt 111 not he im‘
perilled financially by the abandonment of a project
which was discovered to be altogether wrong In the
veritable eleventh hour. The goods not sold at pri
vate sale will be disposed of at auction.
CHARGES AGAINST AN ASYLUM.
A new and interesting debate. Involving the repu
tation of the Asylum for the Blind, Is pushing Itself
before tbe public. A number of the pupils have
signed a protest which alleges neglect and undue
severity on the .part of men in power, and refer to
damp walla, etc., In proof of their assertions. To
this the management reply that the complaints ema
nate from a few malcontents who are endeavoring
to aatiafy personal pique by false allegations. It ia
understood that the matter la to be thoroughly in
veetigated by a proper committee, and the truth or
tbe charge! brought to the teat. A oharlty so noble
and ao beneficent should be vindicated from re
proaches of this nature aa apeedily as possible, and
no one ia sorry to hear that auch prompt means
have been adopted having this end In view.
ANOTHER TRAGEDY.
The reign of “ shocking tragedies ” does not abate.
Murder runs a muck almost daily, and slashes on
every side with true Malayan vigor. The last
new tragedy Is genuinely romantic, and genuinely
horrible. Elcheler, a German, aged 40, wooed a
widow, and only awaited divorcement from a living
wife in order to render a marriage with the widow
valid. Before the divorce was secured, the woman
married a man named Maen. A few nights ago
Eicebler visited the couple, and regaled them on
poisoned wine. Immediately after he placed a
pißtolnear Maen’s head, and fired. Iu the excite
ment his hand awayed, aud the ball missed its in
tended object. Two days subsequent to these oc
currences, Elcheler was found dead in bis own
room, poisoned. The Maens were but little injured
by their wine and arsenio, although the lady is still
In a state which requires careful nursing.
NEW LITERATURE, &C.
The Russian frigate Nevsky has arrived In this
port tom Bhvasa. How long ahe will lie in our
harbor ia not known.
The New Nation la the title of a weekly paper soon
to he issued In this city. Ita platform and ideas are
thus summed up: “ Full discussion of the nature of
the changes which are required In the organic law;
universal liberty, without distinction of race; the
maintenance of the Monroe doctrine on this con
tinent, and the complete reorganization of the mili
tary si stem of the country.” The publishers dis
claim any partisan politics. It Is rumored that a
plan ia on foot for establishing a first-class evening
paper In Jersey City, and advocating Republican
principles through its columns. Jersey City stands
In need of Christian literature, and the dissemina
tion of ideas removed from the pre-Adamite.
Should the plan be carried into effect, there will be
a stirring-up of the fossils, and possibly a conversion

STUYVESANT.
An Interesting Celebration*
Tie opening of the Soldiers’ Bazaar, *t Albany,
waa celebrated on the 22d, by a speech from Gov.
Seymour, and a poem by Alfred B. Street. Some Of
the scene* are described by the Albany Journal:
At first everything waa a blur, but little by little
the chaotic mass of Drllllanoe began to take shape.
The eye began to individualize the lorms and ele
ments of beauty. The gaily decorated booths, sur
mounted by the names and emblems of the various
nationalities, arrested the attention. The triumph
of ait in their design and execution was remarkable.
jßaißts of gauze lace were made to simulate olouds,
and strips of cambric were made to aimulate Corin
thian pillars so perfectly that the eye wss deceived,
and had to eall the sense of touch to its aid to dispel
the illusion. The general eflect was imposing be
yond tbe power of description. The idea of vastness
was perpetually present. The great roof, burled in
a sea of loliage, seemed to float, as it were, in mid
air*
Not the least picturesque feature of the occasion
was tbe personation of the various nationalities by
the ladies ef the different booths. The costumes
adopted were rigidly true to the life. They brought
vividly before tbe mind the habits and customs of
many nations and various dimes. Italian peasant
women recalled the Corso and the Piazza del PopiUa
of Borne. The fair tenants of the Swiss booth
brought with them the crisp air of the Alps; the
French booth suggested vividly the gay throngs that
crowd the Boulevards; while the Oriental booth
breathed the very fragrance of the Bast. The cos
tumes of the ladles of the United States booth were
brilliant and nobly auggesttve; while the dashing
managers of the Military booth were the oyuosure
of all eyes. A band or gypsies hare found their
way into the bazaar; a squad of Japanese are
lounging listlessly about; an Arab peasant woman,
cloaked and veiled, flits by; while a wigwam full
of Indians rejoice in the panoply of war plumes and
moccasins.
Citizeus of Halifax to President liucolu.
To Hit Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States of America:
The memorial of the undersigned, citizens, work
ingmen, and others, inhabitants of Halifax, Nova
Scotia, and neighborhood, aheweth: That your me
morialists, feeling themselves allied in race, lan
guage, literature, commerce, and civilization, as
well as in geographical proximity, to the great Ame
rican nation, over whose destinies a gracious Pro
vidence has called you to preside, regard themselves
as vitally interested iu the issue of the existing
great conflict in your country, as one involving the
extension or extinction of human and politiosl free
dom throughout the whole of the American nation.
Your memoiialists rejoice in the advent to power
of the great Bepublican party, through whose anti
alavery polioy these great and beneficial changes
have been inaugurated; and they are fully con
vinced that the sympathies of all real lovers of
liberty and humanity, whether in Great Britain or
in the British Colonies, are due to that noble strug
gle on your part to maintain intact the Union, while
determinedly resisting the infamous and insidious
encroachments of the slaveholding faction in the
rebel states. -
Your memorialists desire earnestly to repudiate
all sympathy with the treasonable attempt of the
slaveholders to rend their oountry into two opposing
sections, with the avowed aim and’ object or hold
ing in perpetual and hopeless bondage many mil
lions of human beings. While fervently desiring
the speedy termination of the vast and unprecedent
ed civil war which is desolating so large a portion of
your country, your memorialists bellevo that the
most effectual and practical way of attaining so de
sirable an end is by withholding all aid and sympathy
Horn the rebels of the South, the authors of all theie
dire calamities, and lending all possible moral influ
ence, and strengthening in every possible way the
Executive Government at Washington, to whose
proper province belongs the suppression of the re
bellion and the restoration of peaoe and order to
your distracted land.
Your memorialists, therefore, rejoice that her
Majesty’s Government In Britain have recently
taken very deoialve measures to prevent the fur
ther issue from the shores of that country of steam
rams, and other vessels for the rebel Confederates;
which vessels would be used.for attacking the com
merce of the great American nation, with which
Great Britain Is, and (we sincerely believe) desiies
to remain at peace*
Id conclusion, pour memorialist! wish to convey
to your Excellency their deep sense of *he zeal, in
tegrity. humanity, and thorough good faith wj™
'which you discharge those very onerous and lmpor»
tent duties devolving JJPOn you, not only as sue
