— SIIERMAN'S PROGRESS. The Rebel repo of an engagement between Sherman and Johnston at Ben senville affords a cgovenient occasion, of remarking upon the popular fallacy about the movement of great armies. There has beea no action of any importance.— Some small portions of the forces on eith. er side are all that can have been engaged. 'A great army traversing an enemy's coati, try is net-to be looked upon as a unit. It does not move in a single column. It canaotb3 contained in au ordinary five acre lot. One road dock not suffice for its travel. 'lt is a vast Multitude, spread. ingliverperhaps thirty: tulles bf country in brpadth, adianciog opt n (many roads and upon no roads, and l frequeotly is so dh.posed that'One half of it might fight hod win a great battle before the other half knew that .a shot had been fired. So .thai when we bear. of "Sherman" 'being her.: or there, or of an "engagement be &cell' Sherman and Johnston" we shall do well to redember that it is likely to mean some incOnsederable 'affair between the beads of different 'colUmns. klhere will be no general battle between tie ar _inks of the Union' and the Rebellion till ne point has been reaChed whereon tnere has been time and is space to con foreefor a decisive struggle. 3entonvilleethe reported site of the late skirluish,:is an unimportant place on the road from Fayetteville to Golds borough, in Johnston County, N. C. The. Rebel dispatch as telegraphed to us has no signature, but beiug dated Headquar ters ArMies Confederate States is presum able from Lee,and is therefore to a certain extent an iropcature. To say that "Gen. J. E. Johnston attacked the enemy" is to, convey a notion of a great battle, which the tenor of the whole dispatch contradicts But Lee has taken lately to reporting skirmishes as general engagements, and we peed net be surprised at this. The eignifieanze of the news, so far as it, can be credited at all, is merely that Gen Sherman's advance from Fayetteville was less ; rapid than has been supposed.— lf any- parr of his army was at Bentonville, on Sunday,•thena it is clear that he had not reached Goldsbordugh, twenty miles . further north east, on the same day, and , che recent dispAtchei importinsr the cap `tore of that town are manifestly ' prema ture. Wall street( was favored with .a large variety of reports yesterday, including a 4lefeat.of 'Johnston ,in the vicinity of Ra leigh, and .a movement in force by Gen. thant. Patience,gentlemenl These events ,will occur in due time. It is not worth while to anticipate the successes which this campaign is - to bring forth. The Rational armies are advancing with un rhiralleled rapidity, and with an assurance .)I success such as hitherto the most,san guine could- not have hoped. Patience 1 .I.'ho need of patience will not be long. Last week gold went down with a run. The lowest point reached was 51.56. The tfutuediate cause =weres the prosperous `motion of the military operations and the re,oLce of the new' Secretary of the Treas ury to issue uo more greenbacks. Speen. iators in gold and - other commodities are c.,wittg to grief, and get no sympathy. • • There has not been a valid reason in the'nature Of the caSe,rrhy . gold 'should have Udvanced beyond $1.50, if, as high The farther appreciation is due disloyal speculators. If all of thein ho ruined by the inevitable collapse their fate will be-regarded as, an exhibi tion of retributive justree. - "I';•pi semi-official papers of Mexico con. .'ltliet the report of a cession of Sonora France.

Luckily the buildings were- IA idaniaged. The chief damage done is I to the bridges, nearly all of which, in " r and around the town, arelrendered diffierat of passage if not destroyed. dTo give dome idea of the force of the current , we May mention that a lot of - heavy pbtashl [ kettles near the foundry, were carried dril l to the premises of Mr. Wm. Roberts;! while:logs and beams, and boxes depdsited their bulk in varioue out-of-the-way The chief private dathage was to. the gardens and lots adjaeVn c t to the creeks. The creek at the upperldnd of the town made a bad break through the' garden of Mr. W.' . Harrison, damnging him to*the extent of several hundred dollars, proba bly. Mr. Roy's daintigel will be consid erable. Mr. John pickenson, a mild below town, has sufferediheavily in dam age to his mill seat ands from floodlwood. l The flood has caused au almost uni versal suspension of tritvel. The various I stages had to lie up forlseveral days, and no mails 'were received) on Friday and Saturday. [1 - The chief damage would seem to have been sustained on the [ l Tioga River, and on Pine Creek. At present writing it is fpW(l tr fhat the loss of [limber on the lat ter seam will he immense. Every bridge on the Tioga River, save) Berry's . Bridge, is said to have been carried away.' The water is reported to have been two or more l feet in depth in the streqts of Tioga. If i this be true it is to be feared that Law. renceville has suffered greatly. We have ono news from the Cowanesque, but there is little doubt that the damage to the river farms is very heaty. Since writing the foregoing, we have reliable news from Pinel Creek somewhat unfavorable to the trade. In the aggregate the loss is Very heavy. The Messrs. Robinson, of this village, lose some 300,000 feet of extra ! pine lumber. Mr. J. R. Bowen loses 'stake 250,000 or 300,000 feet of lumber the log, and a quantity of shingles. Mr. Clark Wilcox loses, probably, 300,000 Ifect of lumber. Mr. 11. Stdwell loses a'large quantity of shingles and seine lumber. The store of Mr. Stoddard, at. Cedar Run, together with his safe; money; Hooke and papers, were carried away. j Several hoiisis and barns on. the creek were carried off It is not possible, at present, to give a de tailed statement of the Itss sustained by lumbermen 'and farmer on the large Istreams Later news from the north and l east swells the record of destruction fear-I I fully..

Still, rumor isl not entirely re liable, and it is idle to compute the dam age. It is said that ,tbe barracks occu-"; pied by the rebel prisciners at 'Elmira were submerged, and many were drowned before they could be li t emaved. It is painfully evident that° the loss of life en' the great - streams has been great. But' until the excitement subliides we forbear giving tongtie to [ tile raniors.-4iogd. Agitator. 1 Hon. W.

"The fir t volume of Napoleon's Life of Julins Cmsar has finally made its appear. ance It l has not yet found its way to the book stores ; but the Courier des Etats Unis, whose editor has evidently been furnished] with au advance copy, favors us with ] a glimpse of its contents .. The pur pose of the Imperial author has been evi dently less to fureish us with the biogra phy of a-great man than to illustrate cert tain pet Political and social notions of his own. Jtilius Ca is simply a peg upon which he hangs a garland of "Napoleonic Iders." He argues, in his Introduction, that the Progress of humanity is irresist ibly onwdrd; that hothiug can arrest it but that (Providence now and f then pro duces extraordinary prodigies; who are, destined io give the world a poWerfulim petts by their genius, and who cause eiv ilizetiion make advances whereovithout them, it would move with . slow and falter ing steps. He places Julius Cmsar, Charlemaege, and Napoleon in the first rank of these prodigies. "These men," says he, iliave by their majestic tread caused tot disappear the defects of society and have given to, civilization a develope ment which it would not otherwise have had in centuries." Although he does not pronounce Cmsar the greatest of the trio, he Pronoiincee him "the greatest among Romans.'l The Royal biographer - proceeds'to in .quire how it became possible for the Ro-, mans to Conquer Italy so rapidly and so' completely; and finds the secret of it,not in the poirer of the 'Romans, but! in the benefits which they were enabled to con fer upon the Italian population—benefits superior to the apparent independence of those peore. He significantly concludes with the remark, that "one does not de stroy absolutelyAvhdn he, replaces advan tageotislyl" In other words, wben Napo leon the third ' put to death le Republic, he made good the loss by substituting the Empire ! I Indeed the whole Introduction to his Book , apbears to be little leas than an explatlation of, and, apology for, his own policy. lie is less historian than an advooate.l The Rebel General Whiting,before his death, sPnt to Gen. Butler, in writing a statement of the number of troops in Fort Fisher at the time of the first attack, of the Confederate force in supporting dist ance, and of Bragg's troops in 'Miming ton,and describes minutely the ineffective ness of Porter's fire on J - . the fort—so lee fective that the calmoniers were not driv en from their guns—and made a case gen erally' that overwhelmingly justified Gen eral Butler's withdrawel from the attack on Fort Fisher. Whi \ ting saidiamong other a things, that it was matter of reproach against Bragg, in his army and at . Ric hmond, that Butler's force was not.captur ed bodily; that Bragg bad the troops and the position to have made the capture; and' he in terms charged it upon the supineness of the Confederate Commander that every soldier Butler landed Was not taken.

From My own examination of a large number, and from the evidenee at :the: Provost Illarshal's office, I have come to one conviction, tin d that is; that Lee's raqis utterl4broken in spirit, and cannot leaie its intrenoh: merits without losing half its numbtra by .desertion.; and what is better yet, I am satisfied that this breaking, up is not simply from discouragement, but because the mass of the men have had their eyes opened to the trreriature of the struggle; and have learned - that their true interest is to range' themselves on• Abe : :side of northern.democracy, and . no longer sup. port southern aristocracy. • This knowledge they have gained in many ways : by contact tvith•nur men on picket. You may often see two , opposing: pickets taking their dinner at the sama hyr, exchanging hard tack for tobacco, exchanging papers, and exchang ing ideas. • Second,- by connection:with our prisoners confined among them; and third, by being carried north as prisoners of war. _ • . - Imagine the poor white of North Car otins, who can neither read nor write, and who ties never left his own, county, carried north through our.; country, and kept for, months near Chicago or some other large city. Thousands upon thou. sands have had .this experience, and I will give you a summary of the statements which a number of these have made to me during the last few days. The statement of one man whom I examined day before yesterday will give you the best idea of the whole, and as he was never a rebel at heart, his statement is entitled . to full credence. lam sure he told me what he had observed himself, for I cross-questioned him very 'sharply. "I am a native of North Carolina, and had a common school edueation ; you know half the people of Any state cannot read or write, in fact more than half of Lee's army, cannot sign their names. I belonged to a militia company before the war, and when my company volunteered I was forced to go, although I did not believe in the war. As soon as , possible I got detailed for hospital duty,land have been for three years in a larmhospital in Richmond. • I "A fortnight ago every able bodied man in hospital service or eleeWhere was ordered to the front. I was in 1-)iekett's north of the James. Our line was se thin that we had to go on picket every other night, which is wearing the men out very fast. In one short move of only eight miles, one brigide, only twelve hundred strong, lost one! hundred men by desertion. The deserters are veterans, who have got ideas sine° the war began ; the conscripts don't knoi enough, and are afraid to desert, for "Lee has promised thirty days' furlough" to every man who shoots- another attempting to desert. This does not stop them. 'How soon we can get out of the! lines' is the common , talk in every tent tied every company. Sometimes our offuiers come too. There are two lieutenanti here to day] (pointing them out). Theimen who don't want to desert because they have families agree to fire high wheh we run. "Our rations have been fors tiEne time, one pint of, corn meal and one., bird of a pound of wet pOrk. Wet pork iS uncured pork. Sometimes we don't get that; we don't average over 'one pint of !meal and one-quMter pound of pork per day."— (All whom we have examined agree on this point, without exception.)" In answer to my question Omit the pbace conference this man sa d "Well, I can tell you the failure o that is - the principal reason why so man are desert ing. r was in the hospital When Ste phens and Hunter went down, to meet Seward, and we had eight hundred men , in hospital. There was a general feeling. of joy that , now we were to h4ve peace and union again, but when they came back, although we were lied toiabout the' matter, we found out what president Lincoln - did say, and our boys said the terms were good enough for tfient, and they were not going to fight cry more just to save their leaders; anu this found; when -I went to the front, was the talk throughout the army." This man was going to Cinciphati, and' from there intended to ger to his family.' One day two buudrad and j fifty-six deserters came in one squad, alarg6 pro portion of them being from SouthlCaro., firm. They said nearly the whole pickyt line where they were came over, bringing their guns. I asked one of the &nth Carolina men, who looked very/intern ' gent, if he was a conscript. "so," said he, "I' volunteered at the beginning of the war." I then asked biotite tell me what led him to voluntee/and what led him to desert. "Well'," said he, "our politicians told us that Linc4ln was an abolitionist and w"fild put the niggers over us. - •Linght they knew ; but they lief ty propose to put them right inl / with us."l ; "Well," said I, fat you deserted for ?" "No, no i 's one reaso):1; another is that. . ;here men have a bet ter chance than southern men!; we can't ge any good land ; we have t rip chance f r schooling; and I believe are bet ter off than we are, and I //ki l t going to fight any mote to keep separate from 3 ou." I asked him, if the officers were to stand aside on both sides, would the men s'ttle the matter? "Settle it I t They're just like btothers on picket;l and it's a darn'd shame they should have to shoot each other ao." I asked him 'what he thought of Jeff.

Some, whose. families are within or near our lines, go south; (most go north or west. They have generally obtained information . from our pickets as to the best points to get work, and they will be a most valua ble reinforcement upon our western farms. Since writing the foregoing, I have seen another squad of deserters who 'came in last night, and all my previous im pressions are confirmed. I found one very intelligent man from Louisiana, with wh om I had the follow ing talk • ' Q Are you a conscript A. No, sir; a volunteer [very em phatically.] Q. —Hew long since you enlisted ? A: Three years and ten months, and I have fought as well as I'couki. Q. What did you come over for.? A. Because I found out what we have been fighting for. Q. What is it? A. Fighting for richthen's niggers; and d—o. them, they can't humbug me• any •more. , Q, Will there be, another big - fight ? A. Not in the field ? but they will fight hehind entrenchments. Q. Why do you make the distinction?' j . A. Because in the field the army will -break up, but behind the lines,,in the 1 works, there is a prov st guard of rich men's sons, or men that are picked out. These have special privileges, live in bomb-proofs, and are ordered to 'shoot every man on the front line who does not fight. • , Q. What Aid you, know • about the peace commission,,, , ? A. We heard that they had gone,and we expected t i hem to make peace. Q. , Were, you disappointed ? A: Yes, Indeed ;it broke Lee's army all up. They might have made peace, And we knew it, • although our officers lied to us—and that is what brings so • many over. 1 Q. Why don't the conscripts come? A. Some dcl, but most of them don't know enough ; they tell them they will be forced into the ranks, and have niggers put over them, ;and the new men be lieve it. , ' • ~ Q. Do you -think Lee will quit Rich mond ? A. Not unless . he's flanked. ,We used to be. singing out, "Boys, we're flanked," but the day I left I heard an order read to. tot any man •who sung ont so. I • Q. Where"w6re you stationed ? A. In front of Petersburg. Q. How often did you go on picket? A. Every other night; our line was I so thin we had to. Q. Have you ' get. work ? 'A. Yes, as soon as I get out of here [the barracks in which they remain until examined]. Q. Have you been used to work? A. • Yes. My father' had a small plantation and .a few tuggers—just•enough to live on. I had much more talk with this, man, and all his points were agreed to, by twenty men who stood around us. All •agree that the common desire and talk in the whole of Lee's army is how to get away. Oar. President has been somewhai criticised for going to see the Peace Commissioners. You see how fully he is justified, as he usually is in what he does. On another important point all agree, anditbat is,lthat there are far more men deserting and going into the Mountains •of Western Virginia and North Carolina , tnan come North. Some say twenty to one, some ten to one. • You will bear in mind that I have questioned at least fifty men, and I shotild think one hundred at different dates, and in different places, and very many of them by themselves, trhere their fellows could not hear. I have found but two who said they. came, away because they were.simply discouraged, but who were evidently still rebels at heart; and tried to make me believe that Lee's army still had a good deal of fight in it, mid bad enough ta eat. .
