We have Richmond papers of Friday, the

interesting news:
The Dispatch of that date says that Grant
has ordered all citizens within five miles OF his
rear lines to move away, under penalty Of i'm
prisonment and loss OF property, and thinks
that Grant means TO move on his left and not
on his right.
1t appears that an attack was made on the
east OF Macon on Sunday, the Doth OF Novem-
ber, the rebels losing a battery, which was
subsequently recovered, with small loss on
The attack was expected to be renewed on
the 21st, but was not, and the rebels came TO
r the conclusion that the movement OF Sunday
was feinL.
This was probably made by a small force of
SIocum's corps, as the Augusta Constitution
alist, of the 2ith, says that Slocum's entire
corps went down the west side OF the Oconee
river. previous to the night OF the 22d, lndica-

that place and Macon, and make for the sea
between Savannah and Brunswick.
Governor Brown was in Macon, where ne

cavalry are burning barns, corn cribs, ana

Andrew Johnson, Union Nominee for Vice
President.

ANDREW JOHNSON, the Union candidate for
Vice President, was born in Raleigh, North
Carolina, in 1908. At the age of ten he was
apprenticed to tailor, with whom he served
seven years. Having completed his trade, he
removed to Lawrence, South Carolina, where
he worked as a journeyman for two years
He returned to Raleigh in 1926, where he
continued to work at his trade. Shortly after
he removed to Greenville, Tennessee, and
commenced work as a journeyman; remained
there few months; went farther west, but
soon after returned to that place and COM
menced business on his own account. In the
meantime he had learned to read and write,
devoting the greater portion of his nights to
study.
He commenced public life soon after by
being elected Alderman, and in 1885 was
elected to the Legislature. He ran again the
following year, but was defeated; but ran
again in 1889, and was elected. In 1910 he
was a Presidential Elector on the Democratic
ticket, and stumped the State. In lS4l he
was elected to the State Senate, and in 1S43
was elected to Congress, where he continued,
by reflections, until 1853, when he was
elected Governor of Tennessee after an ex-
citing canvass-his competitor being GUsfAvUs
A. HENRY. He was reelected in 1855, and
at the expiration of his term was elected
United States Senator, where he remained
until the close of the session of 1861. His
subsequent career is too well known to re-
quire notice.
He was Democrat of the ANDREW JACK
SON school, but since the Rebellion broke out
he has had no politics but the Union.

From Sherman's Army.

The correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
with SHERMAN's army, writes an interesting
resume of the campaign under date of June
5. On that morning our army occupied a
line, the right of which rested on Pumpkin
Vine Greek, at the foot of the AlIatoona
mountains; thence it stretched almost due
east, through a little place called Golgotha,
until it reached the railroad on the extreme
left. 1t was fully eight miles long; and, be-
ginning upon the lett, is arranged, generally,
thus: ScHoFIELD, HOOKER, PALMER, HOWARD,
LOGAN, DODGE.
The rebel works extended parallel with our
line, reaching also to the railroad, but were
abandoned during the forenoon of that day,
when they were occupied by our forces. The
Gazette's correspondent says:
The rebels have either retreated entirely
across the Chattahoochee, or Hardee's corps,
which was in front of Mcpherson on our
right, has moved to the extreme rebel right
to dispute the advance of our infantry to the
the railroad. In the latter case we shall
have a battle near Marietta in the former
there will be no more fighting this side of the
Chattahoochee.
He says our losses since leaving Kingston
cannot be less than 5000 in killed, wounded
and missing, and that that of the rebels was
nearly as great. Our men were confident,
though fatigued and worn.

About Gen. SehurZ.

Some time since copperhead paper in this
State-the Milwaukee Ne,cs if our memory is
not at fault-originated an item to the effect
that Ma. -Gen. GAEL SEIZURE was in command
of convalescent camp at Nashville, and that
his predecessor was a Captain. This item
was duly telegraphed to the Chicago Times,
and has finally got into the Eastern papers
generally.
The Nashville Times of the 9th thus dis
poses of it:
"There is not word of truth in it. Gen.
S. left his command in the army of the Cum
berland in consequence of the consolidation
of the 18th and 18th corps, and reported to
Gen. Sherman, who would have given him an
active command in the field, if one had been
open. Unwilling TO be idle while waiting,
Gen. Schurz, by order of Gen. Sherman, un-
dertook the formation of large camp of
instruction, consisting of very considerable
number of new three year troops, then COM
ing from the northern States. This body of
troops was intended to form the nucleus of a
large reserve force to be organized here. As
it became necessary to scatter these regiments
upon a long line of railroad, Gen. S. has again
reported for orders, and is now waiting Tor a
new command, just as good many Generals,
who are among the Louisville Journals favor
ties, have done before him.
He is, therefore, neither appointed to the
command of a convalescent camp, nor was his
predecessor Captain, inasmuch as he him.
self formed the camp of instruction and had
no predecessor at ALL"
