THE RAILWAY AND TELEGRAPH.

To show that Sherman, on his advance
into the heart of Georgia. is strongly In
earnest and determined to conquer, l may
state that he keeps the railway communl-
cation with his army complete. Three
hours after the evacuation of Dalton,
heavy trains loaded with supplies arrived
from Ringgold, and before night the town
presented quite a business aspect. The
rear guard of the enemy had not vacated
Resacca two hours ere the familiar whis-
tie of Sherman's train was heard by the
retreating army. The telegraph line was
kept up well by Captain Van Duzen' who
followed in rear of our advancing columns,
and repaired it thoroughly. Resacca is
now the advanced depot for supplying the
army, which is well provisioned with ba-
con, bareback, coffee, all the ct ceteras of
the commissary department.

A month or so before the Alabam came
out Of tie harbor of CheIbourg, James 5.
ThOrntorn, the lieutenant commander of

at a near point, disguised himself as q French
artizan, and succeeded in gaining admiss ion
on board the rebel vessel, and examining
fully every part of her, taking notes of her
machinery, armament, &c.
The following characteristic telegram was
received In Liverpool from an officer who
was saved by the Deerho1nd: The Ala
bama was in trst-rate trim. We have been
deceived in the kearsarge. Work hot and

The bell for vespers has Just rung, and
the Empress will pass around the corridors

his honest face as he glanced down upon the
slight form at his side, whose youthful face
cleaned out still and pale from the shadows
that were thickly gathering, and whose sim
gular beauty was rendered still more con-
spicuous by a pair of dark, ustrous eyes,
which had sad, beseeching expression more
eloquent than words.
The pale lips moved, as if to express her
thanks, but they gave forth no audible sound.

guard as bis quick ear caught the sound of
approaching footsteps.
Courage, mon enfana, he added, as the
young girl leaned up against the corner Of
the corridor, trembling in every limb the
good Empress is like a mother to her people !
As he said this, he hastily resumed his
