MEMPHIS, Feb. 8.-Gen. Sher1nan's army
moved forward from Vicksburg last week,
the 10th army corps, under Gen. Hur1but,
following the 18th army corps, under Gen.
Mcpherson, which has the advance. Before
this time they have not only captured Jack
son, Miss, but have probably at.acked
Polk's rebel forces ut Meridian, fifty miles
east Of Jackson. It Is confidently believed
that Polk's forces, estimated ut about Ii, 600,
will be s'gobb1ed up." This iethc first arti-
Gle in Gen Sherman's programme. The 18th
army corps, under Gen. John A. Logan, has
marched from Huntsville, Ala, westward,
with the purpose Of joining this grand
movement Of Gen. Sherman, and the cavalry
expedition that leaves Tennessee to-day is a
part Of the same general movement. These
three columns viii cooperate and finally
unite, and the public may expect to be elcc-
tEit1ed with some good news soon- These
movements are only part Of general plan
Of operations which Gen. Grant has adopted
for a grand spring campaign in the Gulf
States.
It is an evidence Of the strength Of the gov
ernment that 1t can afford to let alone such
malignants as the Times. a strong man may
carry boils which would Kill weak one. It
takes good pngilist to be pummeling the
tough vllain who fights him in front, and to
holt. two or three yaller dogs who are grub
bing ut his nethcrs behind. Hhc succeeds in
such contest VIC put him down as game.
