thing was heard from Wilmington on
yesterday 1t is to be hoped the gale
Which sprung up last night swept the
North Carolina coast with .greater VIC
lence than it evinced here. From Sa-
vannah, we have nothing. At last ac-
counts, it was closely invested on the
south and west by Sherman. The Yam
kee papers state that their iron -clads are
about to move up the river to prevent our
troops eyacuating the place, if they are
so disposed. This is easier said than
done Our forts and torpedoes will
bring them to a stand still before they
reach the city.
Several days since, a raiding party
came up from Pensacola and cut the Mo
bile and Great Northern railroad at Pol
lardPs, seventy two miles northeast of
Mobile, and then retired.
FROM GENERAL HOOD.
We are still without advices from
Hood, except through the Northern pa
pers; full extracts from which will be
found in another column. If half they
tell be true, Hood is in bad fix, indeed.
Perhaps the worst piece Of their news is
the reported death of General Forrest.
This being ON the authority of Rousseau,
there is much reason to hope it is un-
true.
Official information has been received
here that column of five thousand of
the enemy are on the Mobile and Ohio
railroad, north of its crossing Of the
Mississippi railroad.

TIE VAR NEWS.

Nothing of interest has occurred on
the lines below Richmond. At Peters
burg the enemy keep up their now daily
bombardment of our lines between the
Jerusalem road and the Appomattox. -
The greater portion of Grants army is
in front of Petersburg; but gives no in
dications of early active operations.
Grant is waiting the results Of military
movements elsewhere.
Our scouts report that General Palmer,
with division of infantry and battalion
of artillery, has occupied Bower Hill,
eight miles east Of Portsmouth. 1t is
suggested that this force is intended to
operate against Weldon.
Information was received here on yes
terday that column of Sheridan's forces,
estimated at eight thousand men, had
crossed the Blue Ridge at Chester gap,
and were moving towards Gordonsville.
Another report put the force of this
column at five thousand infantry and
cavalry, and four pieces of artillery
They are said to have reached Madison
Courthouse at five o'clock on Tuesday
evening. Since then, nothing has been
heard from them. Their object is be-
leved to be to cut the Central railroad
at Gordonsville. We, however, for rea-
sons that it is not necessary to mention,
feel little apprehension for the safety of
that point.
The telegraph wire Between Gordons-
Vile and Trevillian's, nine miles this
side, was cut in several places yesterday
morning. This was, no doubt, the work
of the enemy's scouts. The country in
this neighborhood is densely wooded and
favorable to the operations of scouts.
FROM SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA.
We have no further news of Stone
mans operations in Southwestern Vir-
ginia. There has been no confirmation
Of the report that Breckinridge had beat
en- the raiders near Glade Spring, though
the intelligence received on Tuesday, re-
lative to the fight at that place, may be
correct Nothing in contradiction OF it
has been heard. From the nature of the
case, it is difficult to get any authentic
information from points beyond Dublin
station. An unofficial dispatch from
Lynchburg, yesterday, states that the
damage done to the lead works By the
enemy was slight, and will be speedily
repaired.

MAYORS CouRr, yEsrERDAY.-Ths
continued case of John Klos, charged
with assaulting and beating Mary, his
wife, was again taken up. The only
witness examined was Charles Bayly, 1t
whose house Mrs. Klos lived before her
marriage. The witness stated that after
klos's wife had been dead a couple Of
weeks, he made the acquaintance Of
Mary, and Immediately proposed mar
riage to her. Some few days elapsed
before the parties fully decided to live
together, sometimes one party o6jeetink
and then the other Finally, however,
they got married but three days after
wards Klos called In the witness and in
timated doubts as to her chastity. AS
to his beating Mrs. Klos, he (the witness)
knew nothing Of it. II was understood,
however, that Klos had ordered her to
leave his house, in consequence OF which
personal collision might have ensued-
The case was further continued till this
morning.
Miles Cary was summoned to show
cause why he should not be fined for
permitting negro infant to lie unburied
on his lot for three days, and then to or
der it's burial in an alley adjoining his
premises The charge Of negligence in
keeping the corpse out of the ground an
unreasonable length Of time Mr.. Cary
emphatically denied but acknowledged
that it had been buried upon his own
premises, in excuse for which proceed
ings he plead ignorance of the law, and
that the infant was still born. The Mayor,
having had the body disinterred and re-
buried, required Mr.. Cary to pay the ex-
pense attending the same. No other fine
was imposed upon him but he was ad-
monished that similar offence would be
visited with severer punishment
Daniel Keyes was charged with as
saulting and beating Mary Signiago in
her own house. Mrs Signiago's son tes-
tilted that the accused came into his mo-
theirs house to purchase hox of matches,
and because she would not let him have
it without FIRST receiving the money, he
abused and beat her outrageously. The
absence Of witnesses for the defence Sc
cured continuation Of the case till this
| morning.
