GRANT IN ¶IIW NORTIii: HIS ARRIVAL' IN PHILADELPHIA. ENTEET.ISIASII - pF OIJR CITIZENS. THE LIEUTENANT- GENERAL'S RECENT VISIT TO NEW YORK. Yesterday morning General Grant arrived In Philadelphia. Having private business in thi s city, ho remained at the Continental until eleven o'clock, when he proceeded down Chestnut street in company with Col. Badean, of his staff. General. Grant was habited in citizens' dress, the outer gar. merit being a rough overcoat, with outside pocket's, into Which his hands were thrust He wore's mili tary slouch hat, with the front part of the brim , drawn down over his brow, so as to 'throw his eyes into a deep shade. He was smoking cigar. , The General passed Tong Chestnut street like "any Other man,” end he was not identitled until reaching the front of the Tax Receiver's:office, where he was recognised by a returned soldier, who •ex claimed,' G—d, there is General Grant." This was disputed for thei moment, but the soldier, who had followed the lead of the General in - the West, advanced,'and saluting with military etiquette, the General extended his - hand, which , was eagerly grasped by the veteran soldier. ,„ In a moment the word passed through * the street as quickly as "meditation on the wings:of thought," and shout alter shout made the welkin ring and echo with tie name of General Grant; It was high "lunch time," and in a =merit the many public,houses, restaurants; ciallai s, and saloons that abottnd in that vicinity were relieved of their visitors, who fed themselves on the excitement of the moment. It was a curious scene. The, people of all ages, colors, complexions, joined in the ava. lanehe of humanity and pushed on ainid•the wildest commotien, shouting themselves hoarse and to the very echo. The great Vcilanker " was flanked ; he was be- Seiged ; he could not " stir a peg;" his lines of re treat were intercepted ; the crowd in front, and all around hini, augmented very rapidly. Those nearest General Grant hugged him, shook his hands, caught hold of his coat, seized him by the lower extremi ties, and were about to carry him in the most sum mary manner into Independence Hall. • . Three cheers for the "hero .:of Vicksburg" were given with enthusiasm. Cheers for the "Hero in Virginia," "the army," "the great flanker," and cheers for almost everything were given. All this was the work of only a few moments. Officer Carnes, of the Reserve Corps, being near the scene, rushed into the crowd and made his way up to the. General, and succeeded in freeing him somewhat from the pressure of • the people. By hard work the crowd pushed on towards Fifth street, and by a pretty good movement General Grant and his staff officer were conducted into the local tele graph office, where they both breathed freer. He was decidedly 000 l amid all the excitement., 'About. twenty persons succeeded In getting into the office; and the outsiders made desperate attempts to get through the windows. 'While all this was going on' the people were • enthusiastically cheering, amid all of which the great General, turning to his staff officer, said : • Jo*, giie me a cigar." This. was responded to and the smoke thereof curling from , the mouth that has commanded in:ma ny heroic and victorious battles, exhibited to the poetic, eyel.lhow empires rise and fall." .At this time the lieutenants of pollee were in the upper story of the City Hall, and it 'being reported. to Chief Ruggles that General Grant was down stairs besieged by the :people, he immediately de scended, and in afew moments the General and Colonel Badeau were conducted - to the Mayor's pri• veto office.. •A lady and gentleman were present on private business. General Grant 'MTS. formally in .troduced by the Chief and salutations wertr ex changed, and the Lieutenant General, having in troduced Colenekpadeau, both.-were Invited.to seats on a sofa. The lady stepped forward and shook hands with the great hero. - General Grant said that he was in town on pri vate business, and it was absolutely necessary that he should attend to it. . • The question arose how to accomplish his retreat. This was left to the discretion of Chief Ruggles: A carriage was procured, and ordered to proceed to the south gate of lidependence Square.. 'A police officer mounted the box, with the driver, and drove 'down Fifth (street. The ruse . suotiseded. The mass of people rushed Pell-mell &Ira doistleet, through the main vestibule of Independence Hall, and avenues leading through the east and west wings. The scene in the Square that ensued defies description. In less time than - it taikerto—write about it, several thousand centred aboutthe south gateway, whore the carriage had shady stopped. They awaited the arrival of the distinguished guest, and, as the crowd increased every moment, the parties' began to spread themselves along the main walk, as the most probable course the General would take to reach the oirriage already on Wal nut street. BOSTON By this movement of (Thief Ruggles the crowd diminished in front of , the City Hall. A carriage having been procured, it was driven to the front door. It was fortunate that the lieutenants of police were present. The doors being dpened, they marched Out in double Me, then broke right and left, and pressed the people back. The orders , were given by Chief Ruggles, and the movement was so well done that the General exclaimed the single word— ' ipapita LI" General Grant and his attendant staff officer were accompanied to the door of the Hall by Mayor Henry. The enthusiastic cheers attracted the at tention of the immense crowd who had been drawn away by the ruse above noticed. They came rushing back in the wildest 'confuslim, but it was too late; the carriage containing the General had by this time reached the Continental. The only accident that happened was the breaking of a pane of glass of the carnage. As a police officer was closing the door, the crowd pressed around and pushed his elbow through. the glass, slightly' cutting • hie arm. The whole affair, from the time of the identification H of General Grant until he reached the Continental, did not occupy more than twenty minutes. The crowd followed the oar nage to the Continental, called for a speech, but got, none. A, considerable number of Personsjin gered about the hotel, anxious to obtain a glimpse of the great General who wears the honors of a Wash ington. On last Friday the Lieutenant General passed through this city on his way to Burlington. When he arrived there he was recognized while passing along the street, and the news immediately spread through the usually quiet city. A great gathering was the result, and the General was compelled to seek refuge in his own house, where he was called on by numerous visitors. On Saturday morning ho went, together with his family, to New York, and took rooms at the Astor House. The Post of yes terday gives the following account of his stay in that city : Of the object of his visit nothing can be Said, ex cept that it was not merely for pleasure. His pre sence here was not noticed by the newspapers be. cause he wished . to escape any general attention. He attended the serenade, however, given on the evening of his arrival to Governor Fenton, in the large saloon' of the Astor House. About eleven o'clocli, accompanied by the Go vernor, he entered the saloon, when the whole com pany, recognizing him,_ broke forth with the most vehement cheering.

You will agree, I am sure, that if any man can afford to be silent it is General Grant. His deeds . speak for him—deeds more eloquent than tii.e words 01 any orator." [Great applause.) The Lieutenant General retired soon after Gene ral Sickles' speech was made. The General had some interesting Interviews in the course of his short sojourn in the metropolis. He was occasionally rooognized and given an im promptu reception. General Grant breakfasted Monday morning with his former aidelle.camp, Col. Mayer, at his house in East Fifteenth street. The party was entirely pri vate. ' In the course of the day he visited Lieutenant General 'Winfield Scott, accompanied by General Van Vliet. The two officers had a short but most interesting conference. When General Grant arose to go General Scott gave him a copy.of hiS auto biography, and wrote on the fly-leaf " From the oldest to the ablest general in the world.—Winfield Scott." At two o'clock yesterday afternoon General Grant left New York. The hour of hisideparture was not generally known, and he took the oars almost un observed, and without giving the slightest oppor tunity for any public demonstration. The an nexed incidents of his visit to New York will not be found uninteresting: At the Astor House serenade a number of persons present called out "Rise up, General, we want to see you." The General rose, bowed, and sat down amid cries from all parts of the room of "God bless you, General ; God b:ess you !" The Times states that on Sunday afternoon re aid to a, gentleman with whom he was con vorsing "The Southern Confederacy is a mere shell. .I know it. lam sure of it. It is a hollow shell; and General Sherman will prove it to you." The calm, modest consciousness of power with which this was said, more than the words them= Selves, conveyed to his visitor an unqualified convic tion of the truth of the General's remarks. In an. Ewer to a question whether, in his opinion, ninety days.would bring the...end, he said, with a grim smile, "I am not a ninety-days man, but we shall see what will happen in six months." The signifi• cance of these words from the Commanderin.chief or our armies, with the sense of his knowledge of and power over the whole subject, which his man ner imports, cannot be underrated.

The middle and poorer clisses of Charleston are in favor of peace on any terms ;: but the wealthy classes want a " vigo rous prosecution otthe war," and will never give up while a man and a musli et are left. But gloomy as this description is, a worse state of things is witnessed in Fredericksburg and vicinity, but five miles from the Potomac river—the great highway of our. • power and wealth. A correspond ent of the Mobile Register tells us : Fredericksburg is torn as by a hurricane. Much of it has been burnt, and the tall chimneys, stand. ing all alone, tell a woful tale of ruin. Part of the town is destroyed by fires caused by shell, and part by the. toroh applied by. Yankee hands. All the lower and the upper portibn of the town have been SO shattered as to be uninhabitable ; the stores have been gutted of their shelving and counters to make dry places for the countless thousands of Yankees wounded •at the Wilderness and' Spottsylvania to. lie on. The churches have been repeatedly struck, • and so have moat of the private dwellings. I count. ed twenty or thirty holes in the tine mansion of Douglas Gordon, which was nearly complete before the warbroke out.

Looking out of my bedroom window, I saw naked:chimneys and deserted homes in every direction. Imam' over, into Stafford county,-oppo site Fredericksburg, and there is a wido,*lld scene of devastation—neither fences nor trees for leagues on leagues; houses deserted and burnt, and so many roads to the enormous camps of Hooker, which ex tended-nineteen square miles, that the oldest inha bitants are in - danger of losing themselves in their native county. The Lacy House is a baronial pile in the extent ofit s buildings, and its terraced grounds and gardens are in keeping.

The Washington Chronicle has a narrative of the experience of Pardon Woreley, the chief witness for the Government in the. trials of those persons charged with furnishihg goOds to him es a blockade runner. While engaged in peddling fruit around the camps within the defences of the Potomac, he was approached by several Southern ladies who had for a 'Ong time earnestly desired a pass .through our lines, and, although their application to the authorities was • backed by some of -the - first citizens of Washington, it failed of its purpose. Mrs. Chancellor, one of " the ladies alluded to,. by dint of strong promises to introduce him to ;Moseby, induced Woraley to consider her proposition. •Wors ley was_joermitted to take the laditte through the lines.

S. A. GitAIWELLOR. " (Va.), AprilBo, 1864." Worsley returned to Washington, reported prO grass, and was permitted to proceed as • best suited him, until he had - gained an interview with Moseby. Taking with him articles he knew he could sell. he made another trip, arriving in Middleburg May 7th, 1864. Immediately on his arrival, he disposed of all his wares, and was urged to continue his trips. Moseby being again absent, Mrs,- Chancellor had used her influence with hint to the extent of getting him to name a day on which he would meet . Wore ley ; meantime he instructed his adjutant to issue a peas to Woraley, which was worded as follows : "Mr. P. Woraley and. James Sloan have permis sion to bring out goods from Washington, and sell to the citizens of Fauquier and Loudoun counties. "J.-H. BLAOKWSLL. "By order of 001. J. S. Moseby. . " May 7, 1864." Taking with him orders for a variety of Roods, he returned to Washington, obtained another load, and arrived at Middleburg on the day appointed; met Moseby, who not only received him cordially, but invited him to a dinner, at which two hundred of his men -participated,. and upon which occasion -Worsley wee, by liloseby, appointed as antler to his battalion. At the same time the following pass, which Worsley has since used on every trip he made, was given to him by Moseby : "HEADQ'I3B 43D VA. P. It. BATTALION, MAT 23,'64.

MosEnr, "Lieut. Col. Commanding." . From that time forth, arid for several trips, Wors ley was not molested, though not altogether un suspected. In fact, he was told that watches were act to detect, if possible, by what routes he came within their lines with his goods. Thereafter he , left Washington at midnight, and travelling by the most unfrequented routes by night, and hiding - in the woods by day, he 'succeeded - in eluding the vigilance of the rebels. Another plan for his detect tiun was then arranged. An application for a safe conduct through the Federal lines was applied for by Fanny Noland, a sharp-witted, daring, and malignant rebel. As - Worsley had carried other women through previously, he could not refuse her without being suspected ; so he consented at once to do so, and brought her through to Washington,where the had many friends ; and doubtless some who read these lines will remember her introduction of Woraley to.them as her tried and trusty friend. From Abet time he was almost overwhelmed with letters from,Washingtonlans and others to be carried to their friends in rebeldom. Fanny accompanied him on his return:trip; and he says it was the most ha zardous one be ever undertook, never once appear nog on a travelled road ; he kept in by-paths and on ,roads madethrough the woods by wood-choppers, he atitielt;the Middleburg pike, where they heard, that 'Federal scouts were approaching Mid dieburg by theitVessburg pike.

The . boats had their loads 'made up with very Antler . delay - ,' and Monday. nth, 'they' 'started from La Crosse.. The Chippewa, -Falls was commanded by Captain lintchison, and was the ileg.ship of. the neat. !The - cutter VMS in' command of Captain Frank Moore. The two boats had Omit 250' passengers, with a large amount 'of plunder aboard. The fleet proceeded' without any incidents as far 8.8 Fort — Randall, where General Sully,•on May 19th, impressed the Chippewa Falls to carry supplies for• his expedition. Her passengers and freight wore transferred' to the cutter, which pro ceeded on her way to 'the , Rocky Mountains. The cutter was thus heavily loaded—too heavy, in fast— but as she was a staunch and ' light-draught boat, was enabled, by good , management; to succeed in , her journey. She finally 'arrived at Fort Benton, several hundred miles beyond the mouth of the Yellowstone.. -Her. crew and engineers ran off to the gold mines, and the cutter was , tied up to the bank under the fort, where she yet remains. In the spring an effort will be made to bring her down. The first service of the Chippewa Falls was to go down the river, light off& 'steamer loaded with ex peditionary stores, which was on the way up to General Sully, and join him at Fort Randall, when he 'at onoe moved on the east aide of the Missouri; The Chippewa Falls followed near him along -the river, until the expedition reached a point near the Cannon Ball river, when the Falls ferried the 1 troops across, and then started for a point desig nated by Sally, on • the Yellowstone -river, where'. there was an old trading post. The Chippewa Falls•• was to carry provisions and forage to this poin t, . company with - a steamer called the " S Alone.” ully had with him an Indian guide that knew the way perfectly: ,Very much depended on the boat reach lug the point named, as they could not carry with them many rations or much forage, and shoUld they fail to connect the effect would have bion disastrout to.the expedition.

Her whistle was the first rude sound that ever startled those primeval solitudes. Thus, to Captain Abe Hutchison, a Minuesotian, and running a Minne sota boat; belongs the credit of exploring one of the largest rivers of the Northwest. The steamer; when light, draws about thirteen inches.. Capt. Hutchi son ran up only some forty or fifty miles on this trip, and- finding about fmir feet of water, .pronmineed navigation on the -Yellowstone praotioable, and re. turned for his consort and freight. • ' The Yellowstone river is a stream. about the size of the Misiistippi above the fails, or from St. Pauli:o' Hastings; and about as crooked. It is not so 'muddy as the Missouri, nor so full of snags. It has some bars, but most of the obstructions arise from rocks, which, however, are not dazgerous. In fact, in an average stage of water it is a fair stream to nevi:. gate. It is bordered.with heavily-timbered bottom lands, back of which are bluffs, which seem quite.. barren. The Yellowstone Is fed with small streams, which are fringed with timber. It is probable that the Yellowstone 18 nail gable for small boats up as' far as the mouth of the Big Horn river, where a city le growing np. The last trip up the Chippewa Falls drew thirty inches,and found some three feet water: HaVing loaded again,' the Chippewa Falls; ate • tended by the Alone, started - up the Yellowstone; This time they ascen ded to the old trading post, 90 miles from the mouth, where they waited for the' troops six days. Tho Alone grounded six miles below the post, and could go no farther.. ,General. Sully's gulee struck the elver at that point. .•His troops had been .'on half rations several days; and were overjoyed to see the boats, The animals also, were . starving; many had been abandoned and killed.

He then brought the Chippewa 'Yalta to St. Joseph, • Missouri, where he left her, and came home. `.The Idaho expedition has demonstrated' two im portant' facts. First, the practicability of reaching a point on the'extreme Upper Missouri by steamers of light draught, and second, that the Yellowstone can be navigated by small'steamers.. If the wagon road to the Missouri river or Big Horn City were completed, a great trade and travel must flow through Minnesota to that region, as passengers could reach Fort Rice quicker through Minnesota, by many days,-than to take steamer at Omaha or Saint Joseph.. .The settlement of that region must, in the opinion of the St. Paul Pioneer, benefit Min- : • nesota ; there can be no doubt of it. It must smelts rate the construction of tho Northern Pacific rail road, and the main branch of the St. Paul and Pa cific tallroad, and put St. Paul on the great chain• of cities from the lakes to the Pacific ocean. THE REBEL PRESS. SOITTMIEN SPEOPLATIONS 'AND OPINIONS AISOLIT ANTICIPATED ASSAULT ON sfiaßnrex THIC EICILMOND-7TEE VALLEI L , The fallowing Interestinglxtraets me - taken from the Richmond papers of last Saturday, the 19th inst : SHEIDIAN'S DESTINATION BELIEVED TO BE MOBILE There no longer remains any doubt that Sherman has torn up the Atlanta and Chattanooga railroad, boldly cut himself off from all connection with his base, and plunged hoadioneinto the heart of Geor gia, depending entirely upon the force he has •wlth him and theweakness of the country through which he deiigns to pass. His aim is, beyond all question, to secure a position upon the seaboard, where he may .receive reinforcements 'and sup plies at leisure, and having there established his base, to prosecute further operations next spring or during the winter. It is not known for what point his course is directed—whether he has selected Sa vannah or Charleston as his base, or whether he aims first at Selma., and afterwards at Mobile. Wo aro rather inclined to think--that ho will prefer the latter, being induced thereto, no doubt, by the refusal of the Alabama Legislature when summoned by Gou. Watts,to make any provision the public defence,a re fusal which the Yankee journals have not been slow to interpret into a desire on the part of that State to - return to the " bosom of Abraham, ,, -if we may be excused for adopting for once the profane expression of Secretary Seward. It may be, however, that he thinks it would redound more to his advan• tago to seize Augusta, the importance of which has been grossly overestimated and thence march against Charleston, which, with the advantage of ' a water base, would allow free communication with all the ports of the United States. From Charlea ton, he can lend a hand to Grant—who he hopes will, by that tithe, be in,possession of Richmond—in operations against Wilmington, the result of which, be supposes, will entirely shot us out from the sea. The Yankee papers, several weeks ago, announced the determination to transfer the winter campaign to the Cotton States, anti this, we presume, is the preliminary movement. Whichever of the two movements Sherman has in view, it is 'evident that he calculates largely upon the weakness of the coun try through which he designs to march, or on its dis loyalty to the Confederacy. In both calculations we are induced to believe that he will be greatly mistaken. It will be the faint of the people in habiting those countries if -his army be not utterly destroyed long before it shall, have reached either Mobile or Savannah. The marches Sherman will be compelled to make in order to reach the several stages of his journey are great, considering that he must carry the greater part of ids supplies with him. From Atlanta to Ma con, the first. stage, it is somewhat more than one hundred miles, and here there is understood to be a strong garrison 'defending; powerful worke. From Samson to Augusta, ono hundre4. 414•49'i1dq-ridieti further . , there !' a l'ailreatt , the destructien o. of conrse r be attempted by our foroes, and will 'be effected at least to the extent of retarding his pro gress until the portion broken down can be rettored. From Augusta to Savannah the distance is about twenty-five miles, and at Savannah, whatever calm ilations he may now make, he will be pretty certain to meet with a stubborn resistance. Here, then, is a march before him of three hundred miles, through a country sparsely settled, and a cotton-growing country, where he will not find the necessaries of life so abundant that he can afford to dispense with magazines, or that he can replenish these so often as to be able, at all times, to have them close in his rear. When he shall have reached Sa vannah, subdued the garrison, and taken posses. sion, he may then think of Charleston, one tundred miles further north. If Sherman can do all this with' the force he has at command, which we are dis. posed to think does not exceed forty thousand men, then he is, a much greater commander than we take him to be, and the Georgians are a mach tamer people than they hive credit for being. For our own part,' we cannot see how the contemplated cam paign is to advance the design of subjugation, let it terminate as it May. It may serve as an additional annoyance to the people, - but it must be as destitute of results, es the arrow is destitute of power to wound the air through which it passes. It leaves absolutely open the entire country in the rear, from Chattanooga to the Gulf, wherever the Yankee army is not for - the time encamped.—Richmond Whig,l9l4. • Sweasiawlilovirta ow Mecow.—We have nothing from Georgia in addition to the reports stated yes terday morning. We have no doubt that Sherman, with an army of at least thirty thousand men, has moved south from Atlanta, with the..design of at tacking Macon. If the Georgians are true to them selves, they, not being prepared to undertake a.pro tracted siege, must hurry past the city to open com munication with some new base of..supplie,s.. The country cannot support him, and it is impossible he should carry more than ten or fifteen days' supplies. -During the .Revolution, Burgoyne, meeting with an unexpected check and delay in attempting a move ment very similar to Sherman's, -lost himself and his army-,a consummation which, more than any other one thing, led to the recognition by Great' Britain of the independence of the Colonies.—Dis patch, 191 h. CHARACTER OP SHBRIIAM'S ItIOVEMINT.—Tho same paper makes the following remarks : We should be inclined to believe that Sherman's move ment from Atlanta to the south was designed to draw Beanregard from . Tennessee, where his pre sence must be a serious inconvenience, at least, to the Yankees, were it not that such a theory does not correspond with the tearing up of the track from" Chattanooga to Atlanta. The better opinion seems to be that he designs- to possess a base upon the At lantic or the Gulf, from whence, with renewed re sources and increased strength, he may prosecute a winter and early spring campaign. In .the former' view, he will make for Augustaand Savannah ; in the latter, we may hear of him loving in the direc tion of Selma and Mobile. In either case his Journey it one, and we do net see that his success will - decide any great question. . By withdrawing from At lento, and tearing up the railroad, he gives us all the country between the two places. By going elther.to Mobile or Savannah, he likewise abandons all the intermediate country ; for it cannot he expected that his force is large enough to spare garrisons, all along the -route, sufficiently large to keep the country ; and such" , garrisons must inevitably be captured, wherever,they may be left; " This movement, it la very pousibte, may be regard- FOITR, CENTS. ed as formidable only because It la novel. In' such alight we are"disposed to regard it, for we .oannet4 see any gastata object it would accomplish' Without• losing something equally valuable in the attempt.to secure it. The stuffier movement made byher man last.spring ended in nothing eieept theinjury ' inflicted on the population as he passed eating: -If the people of the country, are only tree ,Loti.thent selves, it may be the means of ,seouring ,es a great triumph. - In this connettibnOytraYyglad to see that that gallant soldier: , atitt: , ilite--,ptitriot, `General Howell Cobb, Is in the. fielPalidatt•the head, we *quid judge, of quite a considerable,forpe. 'Gustavus Smith, too, is in the service ef the. State of .Georgia, and we hope the moans will be afforded him to show himself that great officer which he has everywhere heretofore heath° credit of being.

Yankee troops, reported by deserters to be Sheridan's, were being massed en the line between Fort Harrison and James river. If Butler's canal Is completed, or any ' thing near it, this will be one of the points of as anal, ; but if, as we believe, the canal will not for moritle, If ever, be -in a condition to admit the pos tage Of the Yankee fleet Grant must foPeutt his at tempts on our flanks. We have previously given it as our opinion that in his next effort he will throw . 'weight upon our left, on the north side.- Oar , chief reason tor this opinion is founded on his signal failure on our right, south of Petersburg; on. the 27th ult.' . • In that advance he discovered that he:could not "hope to turn our right except by making .a detour of :.fifteen or twenty prepaxed to make. e this marphetespeculatiote he may renesi - hilliffait en this wing but nit - otherwise. Of results on our Lef,t, never having tried it except with the 18th Carps, he may be more sanguine. If it be tree that he has drawn Sheridan's mounted infantry to him, we may expect here a repetition of those flanlemove mente that they practiced. with considerable sne nese in the Valley. Sheridan's men will here, how ever, 'encounter ari army of veterans, who - have grown old in meeting and defeating flank move ments, whd, indeed, have done little else since Grant crossed' the Rapidan last May. • The lines. south . of 3 ames river, and bet Ween the Howlett Battery and the Appomattox, in front of Bermeda Hundred, were on Thursday night the scene of a successful raid upon the Yankee picket line, which was as handsome an affair as has oc curred since lilahone swept the Yankee pickets in front of him a month ago. About ton o' clock ! Gen. Pickett made a sudden sally out of our works, and, taking the Yankees entirely by surprise, killed or captured their entire picket line. The number of prisoners taken was one hundred and seventy-five, including a eolonel. We lost only one man. Gen.

Tax DtITCH GAP OANAL.—There was a rumor laat night-that the *Yankees had completed the Dutch Gap Canal. We place little reliance in it, because we had information from sources usually reliable that leas in direct conflict with the above repint.—Richmintd Whig, 19th. The Dispatch. has the subjoined news from the Shenandoah : Trim VALLEY.-The military status in the valley. has assumed altogether anew phase. The Yankees have assumed the defensive, and fallen back to the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and drawn In their lines everywhere in that vicinity. Those Vandals who remain are said to be the veriest thieves and robbers alive. They mask their faces, force their way into the houses of citizens, and with - out respect to the female inmates plunder the rooms, trunks, and possess theniselves everything valu able. The people are in continual terror, as they have no protection and no redress. On the 10th inst., it is reported, ten of Kin,chelo's partisan rangers attacked a squad of fourteen scouts, belonging to the 14th Illi nois Cavalry, killing three, wounding ten, and cap turing several horses, without the loss of a single man, • Vir.sa Suaimeay. - -The Enquirer publishes the annexed summary of war news : The very atmosphere seems to be charged with rumors ; borne on every breeze frem the south, they circulate about the cornets of Richmond after a somewhat tempestuous fashion; and the croakers, few and ridiculous, as usual, are looking out for squalls. Sherman's position is as yet, not clearly defined; and consequently this field is open for every sort of story. • The designs of Grant appear of a more important character, and will In 'a few days, no doubt, put on their consequence and -let us see what they are. Heavily reinforced; he evidently intends to make a positive movement for the investment, if not the capture, of Richmond." All present indications point to a repetition of the recent movement by both flanks, with a view of holding the ground advanced upon, and making the best of advantages as they may present themselves. We will soon hear some interesting news from Ge neral Early.

'Some time ago we published an account of the shooting and hanging of four of our soldiers, and of, the escape of three who, had been consigned to the same fate. The account has reached the Richmond papers, and they indlgnantlt deny that Aloseby was in the least inhuman or cruel. They say that in a tight a few weeks since, at Front Royal, Mosebrs battalion, on account of overwhelming numbers, was compelled. to retire from the field, (not, how ever, until having inflicted heavy loss on the enemy, without the loss of a - man ) , leaving seven of his bravest men in the hands of the enemy, who had their horses killed, and that three of them, after having been tortured for hoofs, were hung, three shot, and the seventh, in sight of his native home, was tied to two horses and dragged to death, notwithstanding the presence, appeals, prayers, and tears of his mother. TIM house of a resident of Franklin, Madison County, Indiana, was struck by lightning On the 9th Instoust below a southwest chimney and near a heavy box cornice.

Flour is selling at $3 5 0 per barrel ; bacon, $lO per pound ; a snit of clothes, of ordinary quali ty, costs about $1 , ,000, and other things In „propor tion. Great fears ire entertalnedacnong all classes lest an actual famine will pervade the country dur ing the coming winter.. Large numbers are destr -oue of making their way into our lines, and it is only from a•fear of. being captured by the guerilla scouts who infest our , borders that they are prevent ed from making the attempt. This gentleman also affirms that the proclamation of Gen.

WHAT JOHNSTOWN Is,-This town, which has of ten been spoken of as a small and insignificant town, is, on the contrary, neither small nor Unim portant. A. Cambria County paper indignantly as serts this fact, and says that its charter bears- date 1800 ; Its population, including that of the boroughs and villages which are offshoots from it, and which are socially and materially identified with it, was 11,600 in• 1860, and it has certainly not been'redlicisd: since; as a business centre, it is almost: enoughto say ol it that it boasts the largest'and most pros_pe rous.ratlroad-iron InAhe Tinion.• Oar minor manufactories embrace a I:l3:change ce ment and fire•brick 'factory, a foutietS and ma chine shop, representing a capital of fifty thou- - -sand Aollars, an extensive steam tannery, 'two ,steammills; kept constantly running, and a woolen factory of large dimensions and capaolty, now in course oferectiop, and representing a capital oftwo hundred thousand dollars, and ,as much more if needed. In the Immediate vicinity of the town are extensive shook manufactories, and at least two score of saw-mills. With the exception, perhaps, of 'Harrisburg -and Lancaster, Johnstown Is the most important freight depot and passenger station on the Pennsylvania Railroad. Apart from its own trade and travel, it is the only outlet for the largest portion of Somerset county, which is one of the most populous and one of the richest agri cultural counties in Western Penusylvania- It is fair, however,' to - say that our town derives its chief importance from our mammoth roll-, ing.mill, to which, also, it is mainly indebt-' ed for its steady growth and substantial prosperity. . This rolling-mill, or to call it by its corporate title, the Cambria Iron Works, gives constant employ l meat to about 2,500 workmen, whose labor produces every week an average of over eight hundred tons of railroad iron. The ore and coal necessary to produce, this • iron are.:takon • out of the ' hills. sur rounding Johnstown, to the large and seemingly, Inexhaustible - deposits of which the location of the rolling-mill at that place is due.' .The montnlypsy ments of the proprietors of the rolling-Mill,te,theit employees, to neighboring farmers, lumbermen; amounts to about one hundred thousand dollars, nine tenths of which sum passes at • once through the channels of home trade. - .
