SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1866.
Sherman's Movements.
Venioddi, mid seems to be the maxim of
General SHERMAN. He illustrated it in his
Georgia campaign, and he is doing it ,in a
ten-fold more complete manner in his pro
sent one. The reports of the r o ehel editors
~prove that so far he has been anceessful.
'The latest advices we have from Richmond
•are to the 15th inst. At that period de
spatches had been received from. South
-Carolina showing that t ; BERITAN'S main
`body had arrived in the vicinity of Colum
bia, and that his cavalry were roaming at
large over the whole Rate. Gen. Sass-
MAN has so skilfully manceuvred his
forces as to leave the rebel authorities in a
cloud as to his objective point. After
leavlng Savannah he pursued a northerly
course until he reached Blackville, Barn
well county. Concentrating here, he sent
one column to seize Orangeburg. some fif
teen miles north of Branchville, the junc
tion of the railroads between Wilmington
and Augusta, and between the latter place
and Charleston. At Branchville the rebels
bad assembled a laroe force under com
mand, it is supposed, of HARDEE, but
Orangeburg having fallen, they were
forced to evacuate. Another force of
cavalry under Kirxerarca was sent to
Augusta, but the rebel papers report
they were defeated by WHIM= at
Aiken, on the line of the Augusta and
Charleston Railroad, some twenty miles
northeast of the Georgia capital. This,
however, must be taken with many grains
of allowance, when we recollect the fre
quent reports of the same kind which
were circulated by the rebels during the
Georgia campaign. The main body of
effEitarAta's army moved towards Colum
bia, and at last accounts it was on.the west
bank of the Congaree river. The capital
of South Carolina is on the east bank, and
within easy shelling distance. The rebel
editors were in doubt whether Baanau-
GARD would oppose our troops crossing in
preference to falling back farther. Returned
-prisoners say it was reported in Richmond
that ,a battle had taken place, in which
SIIEBISIAN had been checked and BEMIRE
GARD had lost his life, but this is were ru
mor. From the vicinity of Columbia
BRERMAN had sent a force which had
seized Florence, in Darlington county,
the junction of the Wilmington' and
Columbia and the Wilmington and
Charleston roaAs. This completely iso
lates the latter city from all railroad
communication with any important point
in the Confederacy. Columbia is one hun•
-dyed and twenty-four miles N. N. W. of
Clarliston, and is at the head of steam
boat navigation. It is the capital of - the
- State, and from it General Snzumax can
move at will. Charleston :ntast now be
evacuated, unless the rebels prefer being
-captured. A few days will bring.us defi
nite intelligence from South Carolina,
which we feel sure will eclipse all the good
news we have laid before our readers for
some time past. The nest of treason is
doomed.
Paying Taxes in Gold.
It is satisfactory to find no less an au
thority in Congress than Mr. TILLDDELIL
fintirmis taking a proper stand against
the absurd attempt this week, before the
House, to make the tax upon cotton
"payable in coin." At .present, we be
lieve, raw cotton is taxed two cents per
pound, (which is a great discouragement
to our native manufactures,) bat the amen
datory internal revenue bill provides a
duty of .six cents a pound until July I t
1866, and of five cents thereafter, " pay
able in coin." Mr. BTE,vEns moved that
these words should be struck out, sensibly
'declaring that " we should not depreciate
by enactment the currency Of the coun
try," and adding, in the discussion that
'ensued, that "he wanted no more gold
bearing bonds issued." He has discovered,
at last, that it is not absolute wisdom
•to borfow in paper and engage to pay the
interest in gold, which is a practical decla
ration against the value of the paper money.
STEVRRS' amendment was -adopted,
and the duty on cotton will not be payable
in gold. If it were, the az cents would
really be over twill's cents per pound, at
the present price of gold, and the five cents
future tax would exceed ten cents in paper.
If this " payable in gold " had been al
lowed to remain part of the tax bill, we
might expect to find it quoted, very soon,
as a reason Why all other taxes should be
-paid, not in paper, but in gold. Mr. STE
mxts is opposed, on this goldpaying, to
Messrs. MouniLL and Kessorf.

The Treasury Department has been obliged to fill the

the last few days and previous to the 15th inst., w,th
:notes without the coupons due on that day. It was
supposed at the Department that the supply of notes

Cooke, the general subicription agent, exhausted the

forwarded to ail subsoribens by the general agent from

news•
"TY :01 607 as dais beon in doubt as to what

this doubt bas at length been roirsd. It seems
that while his MUM army advanced towards 8r...1,01-

to demonstrate against Augusta and to break up the
Charleston and Augusta Railroad.
••From official despatches received at the War D.

Augusta road. twenty miles Aortteart of Augusta, and
niter a considerable engagement, drove him Ave miles
in the dirrc• . ion of Branchville.
"an •ollicial despatch front' Co'amble yesterday,
Rates that in consequence of the enemy having occa-
Med Orangeburg in force. our troops have abandoned
litarchsWe. Thie is in effect the same statement as
Wolf. by us yesterday.
Our irons have by this time no doubt fallen back
to the Congaree river, which, with the Wateree, forms
the Santee. Columbia is situated immediately on the
right bark of the Congaree, thirty miles above its ant
arctic° with. the Wateree. If our troops fall behind
the Congaree. the enemy will be able to shell Columbia
lrtm the south bank of that stream.
• • W.. also learn that the Coegaree and its tributerY,
the Saluda, are both easily fordable above the city.
This dieponee ne to believe that our troops will seek to
give battle before crossing the Congaree. "
The Itiehmend Whi p ,aye:
" We learn upon tood authority that our forces are
falling back before itherman'a column, ill
the direction of Columbia, S. C., and will probably

•• We learn that a naval force, consisting of twelve
°facers and one hundred men, under the command of
Lieutenant "ffacony' Bead, were recently captured by
tne Yankees near Smithfield, fele of Wight county, Va.
Among the party was Aneletant Engineer Tomlionson,
e the James-river fleet, who was married the night
before his departure.
" We do not deem It prudent to give any information
as to the object of their expedition, and think we are
sufficiently explicit when we eay that they started for a
putpoee, failed in accomplishing it. and are now no
doubt In Yankde prisons.

Air. FOSTER (camly. ) Mr. President. I agree most
decidedly In the cane put by the Senator, that It woutd
be the duty of th e Senate to do so. If the honorable
Senator came here with credentials certitelaticording
to the usual form, and signed by the Secretary of Bate
of Ideasachnsette, with the seal of that noble Common
wealth attached to It, and certifying that no bad been
elected from such a dale to such a date, and those ere
t entials were in proper form, I submit to the honora
ble Senate that on referring that document to the Ju
diciary Committee nu snob one,tion as the honorable
Senator suggests would be raised before the committee
or before the /Senate. Tne committee would be charted
with the duty of examining the &cum ear, and if bey
found it in due form they would say so to the Sent46,and
having said that tney would say no more unless they
traveled out of the record to investigate whether the
hatorable Senator It td been duly elected by tne Legis
lators of the Slate or by the Common Connell of the city
of Boston.
Mr. }TOWARD, of Michigan, after such remarks was
opposed to the recognition of the rights of Virginia to rep
resentation in the senate. Re moved as an amendment
to the motion to refer to the Juditiary.COmiattiee, that
the committee be instructed to Inquire and report upon
the election and qualification of tbe claimant.
Mr. g'WILSON made some tromorke, lin which the
stated that he was in favor of recognising the State of
Old Virginia.
Mr. W ILLSY, of Weat Virginia,. replied to the speech

The term It..r which he war °tested would expire on

to postpone all important matters? Is seemed to him
it was not. Therefore, without going into the merits of

Mr. HALTS, of New Hampshire, said he deatred to
take this occasion to conclude some remarks about the
management of the Navy Department, commenced by
him some time aides. He charged that the Navy De.
part - runt had put - pimps and apiee upon his (Hale's)
track last summer.
Mr.IieRIBLES denied, on the authority of Mr. Fox, the
statement that the Navy Department had ever given in
structions to any detective to examine the conduct of
Mr. Hole, or anything of the kind.
Mr. HAIJE had no more doubt that Mr. Fox would
deny it than ha bad that Mr. Fox had given the ta
g' nctions. Be (Mr. Hale) could prove, if human tee
tintows could grove anything, by men who had the con

at length his animadversions on the Management of the
Bevy Department,
At the conclusion of Mr. Hale's remarks.
Mr. SeULSaURY rose to thank him for his expert
lion of the - trends and cern:tram:is of the Republican
party. Mx. SaulateuT then alluded to the condition Of
the country under Democratic administrations as com
pared with its present condition, when he said fraud
and corruption etalked abroad through the land. He
claim ed that the warnings of the Democratic party had
proven true. The country was told what would be the
result of Mr. Lincoln's election, and the good Demo
cratic . party was ;not responsible for it It was
ban with- the country's birth and died with the coun
try 's death., • _ , _
Mr. DOOL 7 TYLE," of Wieconain, res . Lith to . hay a few
words in reply to my friend from Delaware. I say that
the Democratic party by name lea party of - very modern
origin 1 remember long before it was born. I was
present at its christening, and I propose now to strip
elf the veil which covers what Is claimed sometimes to
be the glorious antecedent of the. great Democratic
party. What tithe fain, Mr. President? In 1798 the
Repablican party was originated ; Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, and. the great statesmen of that period were its
founders.
In lea the Republican party sleeted iefferson Fred'.
dent for four yearn. In 1801 the Republican party elected
Jefferson again for four years more In 18:8 it was the
Republican party which elected Madison as President
of the United Stares. In 1812 the Republican party elected
Madison a eeeene time President of the Matted States.
In 1518 the Republican party elected Monroe as Presi
dent of the United States, and in 1820 elected him with
out any opposition whatever. The party opposed to the
Republican party duringaU that period from 1800 to 1829
was the Federal party.
In 1820 the Federal party, as such, yielded up its W
ines ca. and in 1524 there were four candidates for tile
Presidency, every onoof them retuning as Republicans,
not as Democrats at all. .2dr. Crawford was the nomi
nee of the regular caucus. In 1824 General Jackson rea
as an Independent Republican candidate from Ten
nessee. and Mr. Clay as an Indepeadent Repabliesn
candidate from Kentucky, and Mr Adams as an.lnde
pendent Republican candidate from New England, for
he at that time had given in his adhesion to the Repub
.4iclikinigittLire Was no choice of President by the peo
ple. it went to the House. or Re_preeentatives and .11r.
Adams was chosen President In. 18e3 General Jack.
eon wee nominated by the People, not as a Democratic
candidate, but as the people's oandidate. and a Re
publican was elected President of the United Slates;
and ix 1882. for the Ant time In the history of this
conutry, was the assumption given to the Republican
party, or that branch of it which supported General
Jackson of the Democratic Republican party, It was
the coniiiviance of Sir. Van Buren to secure, not the
nomination of General Jackson. but his own nomi
nation as Viva President under it. and it wee_ then
the int National Convention was called in the United
States—called at the instigation of Mr. Van Bann and
his friends. For the fleet time that branch of the Re
publican party which supported General Jackson' as
sumed the name of Democratic Republican. Ix 1835 it
assumed the sane: and in 1840 the same. From that '
time gradually it began to drop the name of Republican
and to adopt the name Of Democratic.
Mr. Doolittle contended that the Whig and De
=cereal° parties bad gone to pieces, and from their
rube had sprung into existence the Repeitillcan party
of Jefferson and Madison. On these Ideal it stood
pledged to day, as from the beginning. The true Re
publican parry wan based upon truth, which never dies.
If those whe represented the - Republican party to.day
Were trap
. tolthe principles noon which it was -reorgan
teed in lad, 18te and 1850. it would rule the destinies
of the country for a century to Como,
Mr SAULSBURY. of Delaware, in reply to Mr. Does
little, said he bad known him when he was high priest
in the good old Democratic party. He had ;to donbt
that Mr. Doolittle would say, as others had laid, that
he aid not abandon his Democratic prinotplesebit that
the Democratic party had abaudoned its Principles.
Mr. DOOLITTLE. I did not leave the Democratic
tarty, neither did the. Demooratio par' y leaye me; all
that was good in that party same with ine into the
Union party, and is there now.

Mr Saulebdry gold be found the most loyal men of

VER. MIBELILY -AGAIN 111 COURT
George, the Count Johannes, laillgaged In musing
Horace Greeley, of the Tribune, for an alleged libel
against him, the iald Count, and desires the unique
sem of $lO,OOO as damages. The cam, which is ex
citing much curiosity, binges upon the llbellotui or
non•libelloue quality of the following paragraph,
which appeared in the Tribune of April 211 d :
"We are requested to state that the announce
went that Mr. Edwin Booth and Miss Avon's Jones
will play for the benefit of the Count Johannes, at
the Academy of Music, ts without foundation, and is
a gross attempt at Imposition."
• The Count was to play Hassle for his own benefit,
and what could haie been more natural than that
lflB friend, Booth, and his daughter, Avoid's, should
have volunteered 1 Said the Count, who Is trying
the case in person, " The moat aggravating point
in this case was the filet that his daughter, Avonis
Jones, was induced to authorize the writing of the
libel. A daughter induced to libel and slander her
own father! Was there anything more abominable
in the sight of Heaven 1" • The Tribune, so the
Count charged in his opening address, apologized
for the
_paragraph, but within a day or two after
wards published "a note from Miss Avonia Jones,
stating that. it was by. her own request that the
libellous notice appeared in that newspaper, and
that ike never gave her consent to play for the
plaintiffs benefit." In connection with this ap.
peered a similar disclaimer from Mr Booth. In the
mune of his speech the Count, ex necearitate rei, had
to refer to himself in term of self-appreciation.
He told how the Count Sartarla had conferred upon
him his title, because of hie talents as an author;
how he had travelled, studied law, lectured on weals
texture, sued Governor Andrew, of MassaChusette r
for a debt, "and this was the reason of his having,
been persecuted in that city and obliged to oonze-on
.to New York." Me related how he had been treated
by some of the New York papers. In one. in
stance an editor begged from him his photograph,
and thee, after haying it copied in his paper,. an
nexed to It "a gross libel," copied from a kindred
sheet.
Many theatrical and literary individuali_hare
tended this trial, drawn to the court room by a de.
sirs to see and hear aboat two such notable. gentle
men as the plaintiff and defendant, ands to, esiseri

ANNA E. DICILINISOR AT THE ACADEMY.
The annonnoement that Miss Anna B. Dickinson
would deliver her new lecture, "A Glance at Oar
Future" was the occasion of a brilliant attendance
at the Academy last evening.
The bad ootdttion of the streets was no impedi
ment to -the attendance, and mkny of our most In
telUgernt and respectable citizens graced the occa
sion with their presence.
Miss Diokhusen was introduced by G. Inman
Riche,Esq. in a few remarks, in which he said,
our le du ring the last four years had been a most
momentous one. A few months ago Mee Dickinson
participated - in acampaign. which, he thanked Gad,
had succeeded in the election of Abraham Ltneoln.
[Applause ]. De Congress had wiped out that se..
cursed stand - of slavery, whloh the States would all
soon ratify. [Applause.] He was glad to see so
large an andlenoixpresent, as it would tend to cheer
Miss Dickinson on to renewed efforts in the future.
Miss Dickinson now- advanced, and after the
hearty applause with which - she was greeted had
subsided, Bald : Oftentimes a battle lost IS progress
attained, and that no clearer proof of this was
needed than the present war. Ball's Run gave us
a thrill—Ball's Bluff a partial awakening. The
emancipation proclamation was a great , stop, bat
not enough—tt did not reach far enoogn Into the
future.' It was done more for the purpose of in
juring the master than benefitting the slave. We
have now gone a step beyond. At last this nation
stands with white and anguished face and torn and
wounded body, with the divine light of Merin
transfiguring it. Millions of slaves made free—what
a sight for the world! Do we think In this, our
crowning hour of justice, of those who suffered
and fell, who struggled in the past—of Lovejoy and
John Brown', Slavery decreed the death of inno
vators of freedom and right. Behold those dead
men—above them the idea for watch they died in
process of fulfilment. The speaker said that
slavery still existsaand 'still exist until the rebel
lion is totally crushed. We want no peace cont.-
rem:ma c: we want war ; we want no amnesty for
robbers and cut-throats—we want absolute, unre
lenting war, until the foe Ilea under oar feet,
when we' will give him wise, generous terms of
peace—terms good for the enemy, good for us, and
good for the world. We will give them the terms
Grant gave Pemberton at Vicksburg—un
conditional surrender. [Applause.] Even sea
elille Philadelphia was complaining, scolding,
and fault-finding, because one man ,could not ac
complish with 2,200 men what another did with
/000. This man had faults which Were august,
and was brilliant in blemishes. We were told that
the best Inert Were mouldel out of faults. For
thirty years he had been. wrong. At last he had
put humanity on its throne, and in all this grand
tine, this great time—more sublime, greater,
grander than any age—no one stands more majes
tic than this same Benjamin F. Butler, of Males
chturetts. [Cheers.] We could place the making
of peace in no safer hands than in his. He
would treat the Secessionists of Charleston
and Richmond as he treated the Secessionists
of New York in November. The speaker pre
dicted that the recent peace conferences would
result in nothing, and denounced In the strongest
terms the action of, President Lincoln in meeting
the ambassadors from Richmond as tifs equals,
whom she termed robbers, cutthroats, dad thieves,
who deserved to be hung as soon as they crossed our
lines. In referring to the Subject of the South re.
llnquishing slavery, she acid they had no more Idea
of giving up slavery than the audience had of be
coming slaves. The South would never give up the
Institution so long as it could command a man to
hold up a musket. In siamonthe time, thespeaker
predicted, we shall see two hundred thousand men
armed by Davis. She thought the only lasting
peace could be secured by instituting a whole
sale confiscation of the rebel lands, for be
stowal upon the poor whiten, the loyal, long
suffering blacks, and to be used as .bonnty lands
for our soldiers. The South should In this way be
compelled to pay her portion of the enormous debt
we have accumulated in her subjugation. The air
is full of rumors of -peace ; but, except through
military success , it is an illusion. The speaker
spoke of the injustice of proclaiming freedom to the
slaves, and, at the same time, withholding from
them the franchise ; and heartily endorsed the
doctrine of General Sherman, that the black hand
that drops the bayonet, at the conolasion of the war,
shall be permitted to pick up the ballot. She con•
aldered that the blackness of the negro was, in fact,
the only reason for denying him the right of suffr age.
The ignorant and degraded Irish, wen compose the
rank and file of the disloyal party, were no more
capable of exercising the right than the Degrees,
who must be pwMtted to vote in order to
counteract the uernlolouS influence of the, former
class. Patriotism and loyalty lift all men, what
ever may be their color, to the same heights, side by
side. The whiteand the blaokhave marched into the
Southern land keeping step to the music of the
Tinton, and side by side they should Vote as they
have fought. The speaker related, with consum
mate pathos, several interesting and affecting anec
dotes illustrative of the noble devotion of oar sol
diers in southern prisons, and of the Bair saerifletog
heroic loyalty of the negroesq and concluded by
saying that as the faithful sentinel who receives the
countersign, responding with, "The countersign is
correct, pass on I" so will history perceive the
coming orthis glorious nation, if we are true to our
selves. "Liberty for all 1" will be oar response to
her challenge, and her clarion voice will reply, as
her pausing pen drops upon the page before tier to
record her destiny in characters of immutable lustre,
"The countersign Is correct, pus on c"
At the conclusion of the remarks of the eloquent
speaker. she was warmly greeted by a number of
distinguished ladles and gentlemen.
