NEW YORK, Nov. 2.2, EVENING.
The Richmond papers of the 19th inst. report
that Sherman was far south of Atlanta, and still
moving onward. They also state that a portion of
his troops were attacked on the 10th inst. by Howell
and Cobb, with 8,000 militia and three brigades of
cavalry at Jonesboro', 22 miles south of Atlanta,
and were being steadily driven. The correspondent of
the New York Times asserts that Sherman has 50,000
men, including 8,000 cavalry, and 30 Jays' rations.
Be will march direct to Macon, and from thence
wh,re he Hill divide his army,
sending part to Savannah and part to Augusta ;
the latter place he will fortify, and after receiving
supplies up the Savannah River, he will be enabled
to move on Columbia or Charleston.

The Southern papers think that Sherman will
meet more opposition than he expects before reach-
iug Macon, where he will find most formidable for-
tifications. If the Southern troops do their duty,
Macon will be wed.

Thomas is still watching Hood, whose forces are
estimated to be 45,000 strong. Hood is still re-

ported to be in the neighbuurLuod of Florence,
Alabama.

Southern papers report that Sheridan is retreat
ing, and is believed to be reinforcing Grant.
Contradictory reports concerning Early have
been received, some correspondents representing
him to be retreating, while others declare that he
is advancing.
Grant visited New York, and afterwards re-
turned to the James River. It is expected that he
will shortly make another attack upon Richmond.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24, Moosiso.

The Richmond papers of the 22nd report
Sherman on Saturday last to be within 18 miles
of Macon, marching on that city. Macon is
stated to be garrisoned by militia, and not strongly
fortified, but the journals published there say
that the city will be defended to the last. Sher-
man has captured a portion of the Georgian
legislature. His cavalry Lave reoccupied Mil-
cogeviße. Great excitement prevails among the
population along the route. The Hanks of Sher-
man's army extend many miles over the country
foraging. He has ordered his troops to raise their
provisions from the country through which
they pass.
Hood is reported marching on Pulasky, Tennessee,
proposing to begin operations in Kentucky and
Middle and Ea,tern Tennessee.

THE AUSTRIAN REICHSRATII.
VIENNA, Dec. 3.

In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of this
Reichsrath, the debate on the draft of the address
t 3 the throne was resumed. Paragraph 13, stating
that the house expected from the government a
statement demanded by the constitution of the
sauses and results of the state of siege in Galicia,
was adopted by the Chamber, notwithstanding that
the Minister of Police had previously declared the
motives and results of that measure. The minister
said that the state of siege could not at present be
altered. Herrtu von Lasser and Sclunerling warmly
opposed the idea that it was the duty of the go-
vernment to make the statement.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.
TURIN, DEC. 3.

The debate on the convention was resumed in the
Senate to-day. General Della Marmora, in reply
to Signor Galvagno, declined to give any explana-
tions as to the existence of fresh documents re-
lating to the convection. Signor San Martino
opposed the convention, and said that the Venetian
question ought to precede that of Rome. If war
were impossible, the government should endeavour
to restore the finances. The Marquis d'Azeglio,
being unwell, sent a speech favourable to the
measure, which was read to the Louse. The mar-
quis expressed doubts whether the proclamation of
Rome as the capital of Italy had served the interests
of the nation. He desired Rome to be an Italian
city, but not the capital of Italy. Rome must not
cease to be the seat of the Papacy. The moment of
conciliation had arrived.

PARLS, SIMIAN Evzsiso.

I have reason co believe that the French govern-
ment is disposed to favour the design attributed to
M. de Bismarck of throwing overboard the Duke of
Auguatenburg, and annexing Southern Sleswig-
Holstein to the t'ruesian crown, on condition that
the boundary line shall be revised, and all that part
of Sleswig which may be fairly oousidered Dan.
ish, restored to Denmark. The leading idea
of this arrangement, so far as concerns France,
would be the humiliation of Austria.
In order to put au end to the students' rows at
the lectern on political economy, M. Duruy yes-
terday made • decree reciting that whereas the
schoolroom would only hold 600, while 2,00. d
pressed for admission, and 01 mac gclirable to
assure the benefit of these lectures to all students
successively, and declaring that only students of
the third year should have a right to attend—for
the present the rtudenta of the eligible class must
show their certificates to obtain admission. Thu
real cause of the recent disturbances is nos dis-
closed by this decree. The ire of the students
was excited nut by the fact that the lecture-room
would only hold 600 people, for, to say the truth,
most ofithem care very little about political economy,
but because the funds for supporting the new chair
were diverted from that of M. Renan, which is
suppressed. If it were really supposed that 2,000
students wished to attend lectures on political eeo-
nomy, the obvious remedy for the existing evil
would be to provide a larger locality, and not to
put off a great manyyoung men for two years, which
will be the effect of the present decree. It would
be of small use, however, to build, buy, or hire a
new room, which would certainly be deserted when
the present effervescence shall have subsided.
The correctional tribunal of Lille yesterday tried a
score of persons charged with taking part in a great
theatrical row, which was the occasion of much
local excitement. Three or four of the defendants
were sentenced to short terms of imprisonment,
and all were fined from If. to 41. One of the
defendants thus visited is an old journalist, M. N.
Destigny, an Orleauist before the coop d'att, but
now the very loyal editor of the government journal,
the Minioria/ de Lille.

M. Mocquard's life is despaired of. Re is
at this moment covered with blisters and poultices,
and has been insensible for the last two days. Till
lately he has been so well preserved tbat it will pro-
bably be a surprise to many to learn that the Em-
peror's secretary is 75 years old.
Mr. Dayton's funeral is fixed for Tuesday. After
a service in the American chapel, Rue de Berri,
the body, which Las been embalmed, will be sent
to Ilarre, there to be embarked by the first vessel
for New York.

A fire broke out yesterday at the Ministry of
War, but was soon got under. The only serious
damage mentioned is the destruction of several
papers relating to fortifications.

General and Mrs. Torn Thumb have arrived in
Paris and are staying at the Hotel du Louvre,
where they receive select visitors.

There can be now no doubt whatever of the
suicide of Dr. Demme and Miss Flora 'Frumpy.
Thu Italian journals It Morintent. and It Potato
Italian() contain full particulars. After leaving
Milan they went to an English hotel or boarding-
house, called the Casa Gropello, in the little town
of Nervi, near Genoa. At noon, on November 30,
the landlord finding that they did not leave their
bedroom, and having knocked several times
without getting an answer, broke open the door,
in the presence of • magistrate. Dr. Demme
was found dead on the bed, and Miss Flora also
dead, stretched on the floor. Some accounts say
they were bathed in blood, but the Swiss
Consul at Genoa telegraphs that they committed
suicide by poison. Their bodies were publicly
exposed in the Nervi market-place, under the guard
of two carabineers. In the bedroom war found a
paper, written by Dr. Demme, containing Lis name
and that of Miss Flora Trutnpy, and the address of
his father. A telegram was immediately sent to
Berne, and the directions of the relatives were
awaited for the disposal of the bodies. This ex-
traordinary couple, who thus accomplished the
suicide which a fortnight before they threatened to
perpetrate in the Lake of Geneva, had spent all
their motley. Only a few coppers were found on
Dr. Demme's person. The paper left mentioned
their intention to destroy themselves, but assigned
DO cause.

REITRN or ACETRIA-V TROOPS.—TIIO General
Correspondence of Vienna gives an account of the grand
entry into the capital of a large body of the troops who have
lately returned from the Danish campaign, and who have
been since provisionally quartered in the neighbourhood of
Victims. The preparations made for giving Cchit to their
entrance were on the most extensive scale. Every street
and every house were profusely decorated with flags and
evergreens, and in several placee triumphal arches were
erected with escutcheons,on which were inscribed the names
of the different places where the troops had distinguished
themselves—likenipberg, Overselt, Arersee, Viele,
surmounted by the u.itional arms and colours. The troops
marched into the capital by a new bridge which the Em-
peror had inaugurated for the occasion, and proceeded to
the Imperial Garden and the Boulevard of the Opera, where
they were drawn up in four lines and reviewed by the Eli
peror, after which they filed off before his Majesty and
proceeded to the banacks assigned to them. The reigning
Empress, the Empress Dowager, and all the archduchesses
present in Vienna, witnessed the defile from the balcony of
the palace of the Archduke William. The Emperor and
the troops were everywhere received with the most enthu-
siastic acclamations.
