A SECOND TINE Is CoUET.-Eilen Ways N,
Young cir! of fifteen years, was arfastsd OF
Deteci!ve NJ DE witt for stealing sundrs articles
Of ohing from the hoaId , ,ns,nons CO., on MSS
rosita the Rap,ist Church. She was taken ba
fore Just,ca thompson for trial, when IL was
shown by the evidence that she was employed
in the house as servant; ana On inursday IL
uaa ti.covsred that some one had stolen me-
rino dress, a woollen shawl, q black velvet
hon, ct a white mnslin collar and a W hite cot
ton skir. from Miss CathariBe Dickson. a
pnr!icn Of the goods we're found upon the pri-
soper, and Justice Thompson committed her
10 i.il for trla! M court. and recognized her as
little girl he had once before sent to court
upon similar charge, of which she was ac-
Quilted by the jury. The boarding house
where the theft was committed Is q large one,
and several OF tie boarders have missed articles
OF Salne since the prisoner was employed in
the house. She Is rather good-looking girl,
and her youth tx cites sympathy In her behalf,
but her reformation il considered to be very
doubtful.
MP. EpIroR In your edition of the lith inst
saw the following -" James Juneman fmy
name is George Juaneman,l keeper OF a saloon
corner 4th and ID streets, was fined $50 for SELL
Ing on Sunday by Justice Ferguson. A lot Of
Government property was found on the prem
ises o. JuBeman, W hich was turnsd over to the
property sergeant" The first offence Is trna
ceiling on Sunday, but the second charge you
have made in regard to Government property
teirR found on my premises is altogether an
error. Ne one has searched my house yet l
never had red cents worth Of Government
properly in my house, and never will. / am
Wen acqnair ted In this city, and a story like
that might seriously iDiure me-. Please b. kind
enough to do me the simpe justice to state that
1t was mistake to charge me with having
Government property on my premises.
Respectfully, GEORGE JUENEMAN.

Maj Gen. W. T. Sherman, in dispatc
dated Vcksburg, Miss, 9th ult., to Lieu
Gen. Grant, care OF Maj. Gen. Halleck, say,
" got in this morning from Canton, where
left my army in splendid spirits and condition
We reached Jackson Feb. 6, crossed H.
Pearl river and passed though Brandon
Morton, where the enemy made disposition
for battle, but fled in the night. We postt
on over all obstacles, and reached Merida
Feb. IA. Gen. Polk having a railroad to a.
sist him on his retreat, escaped across th
Tomhgbee on the l2tt. We stopped as Nj
ridan a week, and made the most compet
destruction of the railroad ever beheld o
the South, below Quitman east, 20 miles
Cuba station north to Eanierdale Springs
and west all the way back to Jackson.
could hear nothing of the cavalry force 4
Gen. William Smith, ordered to be there b
Feb. 10. then began to give back slowly
making a circuit by the north to Canton.
will leave the army there five days in hope
that the cavalry from Memphis will turn az
aud will have them come in.
THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE DONE THE REBELS
Gen. Sherman arrived at Memphis on the
10th. Our total loss in killed, wounded and
hlAooihb 10 / ~ uC Ithulh VI kuf Ihlus III
eluding Smiths and the Yazoo river move
ments, are about as follows: 1850 miles o.
railroad. 67 bridges, 1000 feet of trestle, 90
locomotives, 2S cars, and 10000 bales of cot
ton destroyed, Seven steam mills, and over
1000 900 bushels Of corn we're also destroy
ed. The railroad destruction is complete and
thorough. The captures Of prisoners exceeds
all our loss. Upwards Of 5000 contrabands
and refugees came in with the various col
umns, After occupying Decatur he pushed
west to Cortland and thence To Moulton, dri-
wing the enemy and capturing many stores,
salt and stock.
There was quite battle at Yazoo City,
Miss, on the 5th, between the negro troops
and a large force of rebels who made an at
tack upon the place. The rebels gained pos .
session of part Of the city, but the gunboats
coming up opened fire on them, encouraging
the negroes, who charged and drove the reb-
els back. Our loss was slight. The rebel
loss is unknown.
Advices from Vicksburg, Mics, TO the 10th,
say that all the troops are on the qui vive,
preparing for another grand raid The troops
are in excellent spirits and eager ior march
ing orders.

FOREIGN NE WS.

The Times Paris correspondent announces
the important fact that Minister Dayton has
served a written notification uhon the French
Emperor, that il the rebel cruiser Rappahan-
mock now at Calais, is allowed to proceed to
sea, the French government will be held re-
sponsible for all the damage she may do to
American commerce. 1t is also announced
that the French government has issued more
stringent regulations concerning the cruisers
Of the belligerents. Among other things
specified in these regulations are two, TO the
effect that no vesse. of either of the belliger-
ents can remain in port more than twenty
four hours, unless by stress of weather or
