FROM sIhERMAN's ARMY.

New YORK, Oct. l9.-The Herald's spe-
cial from Chattanooga, 18th, says: From
last accounts Sherman's army was in the
vicinity of Villoneva, Ga. The rebels were
retreating on Summerville, and were sup
posed to be falling back towards the Blue
Mountains. Wheeler's cavalry are hanging
about Rome. Forrest was threatening to
cross at Bridgeport and hold the gaps on
Pigeon Mountain, for the purpose Of aiding
Hood in moving his army to Bridgeport.
He is now covering Hoods retreat. Sher-
man is skirmishing with Hoods rear. The
results of Hoods movements are favorable
to our army. 1t is thought he will not give
battle unless too hard pressed by Sherman.
Hoods wagons and a brigade as a guard
are at Colladean. He may possibly give
battle at this point; if not, he will have to
fall back on Galena, Ala, where commune
cations are open.
Slocum sent out a foraging party of 1900
wagons toward Rough-and- Ready and De-
catur, and all returned laden with corn
The army has plenty of supplies, both in
Atlanta and in the field. 1t is thought
Hood has all his army with him, and it is
supposed to be about $4,000 men. Scouts
state that they are living on parched corn
and some dried fruit collected through the
country.

NAUGHToN's DRY GooDs SToRE.-At this
establishment they are selling dry goods
"for sixty days" az cost, and as their assort-
ment is extraordinarily large, they are
having an immense run. The cloak manu-
featuring establishment connected with
Naughton's store, is turning out large
number of desirable cloaks, which are
eagerly sought for in view OF the constant
reminder of the approach of winter, felt in
every change Of the weather; and as they
are offered upon moderate terms, the wiser
portion of the community are supplying
themselves while the opportunity lasts. All
judges among the ladies agree upon the
point that at Naughton's the best bargains
and the fairest quality of goods can be OBJ
tanned.

THE CITY.

RACES To-DAY.-The trotting races to
come of at Olentangy Park to-day promise
to be spicy and interesting contests. The
weather Indications are most favorable and
the track we are assured is in the hest or
der. The horses named for the races are
said to be magnificent animals, capable Of
making better time than was ever made on
this track, and therefore the interest in the
contest among the admirers of fast horse
flesh is unusually great. The following are
the entries for the day:
w. M. Connor names brown gelding
Quaker Boy.
John Turner names bay mare Lady Riley.
James Conlisk names brown gelding John

NEW York, Oct. 19.-The Tribune's
Clarksburg special says the rebel army
is believed 10 be $4,000 strong, and COM
manded by Longstreet. Our loss on the
18th was about 250. The enemy occupies
Fishers Hill.
The Times Washington special says reb-
el deserters report that those who desert
the rebel army and come into our lines are
not the only ones; many leave the army
and hide away in the back country.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 18th says
the prompt response made to the call for
men has already changed the aspect of af-
fairs below Richmond. The Federals arc
erecting mortar batteries on Chapin's farm.
The Enquirer has an article in which it
speculates most wildly on the political sit
uation, winding up with, SHOULD disasters
befall Sherman, should Sheridan he with
drawn from the Valley, should Grant as
sault Richmond and be repulsed, then Gen.
Mcclellan would be elected President"

New YORK, Oct. ia large meeting of
oillcers OF National Banks was held at the
Astor House to-day with closed doors. It
was rumored, however, that the object was
new movement against the State Banks.
Gen. Sherman, in his official report of his
campaign, states that Gen. Howard was
appointed to the vacancy caused by the
death of Gen. Mcpherson by order of the
President. Gen. Hooker took offense at
this. and was relieved at his own request
1t is now asserted that Sherman urgently
requested the President to appoint How
ard.
The Posts Washington special says: The
Assistant Secretary Of War says it is not
yet decided whether the New York and
Pennsylvania invalid soldiers will be sent
home to vote in November. No favoritism
will be shown to any State.

AMusEMENTs.-Last night appeared to be
an unfavorable one for amusements, for
neither the Opera House, where the Ital-
Ian Opera Company. nor the Atheneum,
where the Martinetti performed, were vis-
tied by very large audiences. The mem
bers Of the Opera Company were all in
good voice, and their Concert was one of
great interest and merit, certainly deserv-
ing larger audience than the one which
had the pleasure Of hearing them. Nine
Whiting and Nine Testa executed their
parts with their usual skill and success,
while Sigs. Amodio, Stefani and Testa were
equally successful in their efforts. The
audience, as we have limited, was not large,
but those who were present enjoyed rare
and agreeable entertainment.

The Canadian Confederation.

QUEBEC, Oct 19.-After long discussion
the Canadian Confederation has been de-
cided on. Its main principles are arranged. =.
Only details about the settlement remain.
The great difficulty was the proportionate
representation of the colonies in the Upper
House. 1t is now decided that Arcadia,
that is Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Island, are to have twenty
four members, Of whom eleven are for
Nova Scotia ten tor New Brunswick
and three for Prince Edwards Island.
Newfoundland is to have four, and Upper
and Lower Canada twenty four each.
Total, 76. These are to be selected from the
existing members of the Upper House, by
the Crown, which is to fill up vacancies oc-
curing by death. Representatives in the
Lower House Of the Federal Legislature
are to be according to the population, peri
odlcally rearranged.
The Constitution will be such that the
chief power will reside in the Central Leg
islature. The Provinces will have few sep
arate rights. 1t is decided that the whole
scheme shall be submitted to the existing
Parliaments in all the colonies, without
direct reference to the people, which is a
very summary measure, as none of the
Parliaments were elected with reference to
this question. The local Legislatures will
not necessarily be alike in their COnstitu-
tons. There is no decision as yet whether
the local Government shall be nominated
or elected. This point will likely be left to
the Imperial Government.
1t is believed that Ottawa will be the seat
OF the Federal Legislature. The only diff
Guilty remaining is as to the Constitution
and powerof Federal judiciary. The ques-
ton as to the militia or army to be main
tained by the colonies will likely be settled
by Convention with England.
Hon. John A. Mcdonald has been the
leading man in the conference; his views
have been adopted in almost all cases. Mr..
Gait and Mr.. Cartier are also much looked

Forrest on "a Raid.

CAIRO, Oct. 19.-Great excitement pre-
walls in this section of country in conse-
quence of raid in Western Kentucky by
Forests forces. Gen. Meredith, command
ing the District, has issued proclamation
calling on the citizens to suspend business
and rally to arms to drive back the rebel
horde. Forrest is at Corinth with strong
cavalry force, and expresses the intention
to free Western Kentucky from the hand
OF oppression, and allow he people to vote
as they please at the coming election. The
rebel forceleft at Eastport, Mississippi, is
estimated at 300.

The MARTINETTIs.-The audience at the
Atheneum last evening was not as large as
upon previous nights, but the performances
Of the Martinetti Troupe were fully as
amusing and exciting as at other times, the
pantomime serving to keep up steady
and irrepressible laugh, while the gymnas-
tics were interludes of absorbing interest
A good bill is offered for tonight, and
those who believe in the philosophy that
every sigh drives nail in our collins, while
every laugh extracts one, should not miss
the opportunity Of seeing this irresistible
Troupe in their comic glory.

Police CoURT.-The only business in the
Mayors court for several weeks has been
the disposition of half dozen cases per
day of drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
These offenses were about equally divided
between male and female, but yesterday
morning the females largely predominated.
There is no way of preventing the increase
of depraved women in this city, and the
number nightly granted the poor protection
of the Station House is forcibly suggestive
Of the degeneracy of war times.

The Importance of the AIIntoona
Victory.

New YORK, Oct. 19.-The Importance of
our victory over Hood at Allatoona was
not made apparent by the first report. 1t
appears that there were stored there one
million and halt Of rations, of which
Hood was Informed by some women, who
ascertained the fact. Besides. Allatoona is
so situated that with 10000 men Hood
could have held the place against ten times
his number. Hood attempted surprise
and capture, but Sherman, as soon as he
learned the direction Hood had taken, sent
forward three columns of troops, with fif-
teen days rations at their backs, and sig
nal corps to hold the place. How well he
held it is already known.
