A woman Attempts to Murder
Her Child i'm Canal Dover.

The citizens of our neighboring town of
Canal Dover were somewhat startled on
last Saturday evening by the discovery of
an attempt of woman to commit the fear
fu crime Of infanticide in that place. It
seems that this woman, who is as yet un-
known, was seen to enter privy and re-
main for considerable length of time. -
Shortly after she had gone, gentleman
heard the cries of child, and going to the
place from whence the noise came he dis
covered newborn babe down in the privy.
He Immediately made known the fact, and
help being obtained. the building was over
turned and the child rescued from the ter
rible death which the mother, in her crime
and guilt, had intended it should die. 1t
proved to be fine. bouncing boy. and has
found home in the family of Mr.. Jacob
Rider, of Canal Dover. where it will no
doubt be shielded and protected from the
heartless treatment toward the unfortunate
in this wicked world. Attempts at finding
ont who the mother Of the child is, have,
as we before stated, proven fruitless. How
sad indeed are the reflections upon such a
picture of humanity, and how much to be
regretted that woman, whom we are always
want to exhalt to the heavens in point of
virtue and religion, should become SO fallen
and debased as to attempt to murder her
own child-a crime revolving both to God
and man. - ruScaraws Advocate.

Destruction of Pocosaligo Bridge

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. IL.
The Bulletin has the following important
Intelligence
The steamer Donegal arrived this after
noon from the South Atlantic Blockading
Squadron, having lett Port Royal on the
7th.
The joint naval and land expedition un.
der Admiral Dahlgren and Gen. Foster.
sailed from Beaufort up the Broad river on
Wednesday, Dec. 9th, the object being to
destroy the Pocotaligo bridge, on the rail
road between Charleston and Savannah.
The Donegal accompanied the expedition
to Telfamy creek, but did not accompany it
further.
There were seven gunbeats in the expe-
dition. and soon alter reaching a proper
position heavy fire was opened by them.
A force was landed and an action commeu-
ced, and before evening Pocotaligo Bridge
was reached and destroyed. Our troops
were then entrenched for such future opera
tions as might be needed.
The Donegal came down to Port Royal
the same evening, but could not bring away
any details of the losses on either side. OF
the success of the grand object of the ex-
pedition, however, there can be no doubt.

forcements Of 1000 Kansas State Militia,
and positive information that Gen. Rose
Grams with 10000 men would attack their
rear. So at daybreak next morning ice took
the offensive and made the attack. Our
forces now numbered about 1000, Gen.
Rosecrans 10000, the Rebels 10000. But
we had the advantage Of attacking in front
and rear, and you may rely we used it,
The fight however, was desperate. The
battle occurred near the town of Wesfport,
on the line between Kansas and Missouri,
40 miles North of this place. We drove
the enemy steadily from daylight until 2
o'clock p. NJ, when his retreat became a
perfect rout. We drove them l2miles that
day, killing and wounding great many,
beside securing large number OF prisoners
Early next morning we pressed them so
closely they could not get time to form a
new line, compelling them to travel go miles
right down the Kansas line (South) to the
Trading Pest, where at daylight next morn
ing we again attacked them-this fight was
short and decisive. Here we routed them
easily by cavalry charge and captured 300
prisoners and pieces of artillery, pressing
them closely, we compelled halt on the
banks of Mine Greek, where we charged by
brigades of cavalry, capturing Maj. Gen.
Marmaduke, Brig Gen. Csbell, 5 Celones,
300 officers Of less rank and 1000 privates,
and pieces of artillery. They then re-
treated very rapidly but at Dry Wood, 16
miles East of Ft Scott, we fought again
capturing two more Generals, their ammuni
ton train and 130 wagons. Continuing the
pursuit, we overlook them again at New.
tonia in the Southwest Missouri, and with
only the Kansas troops whipped them again,
away we went again and after eight days,
and nights, hard marching we threw 81
shells into their rear guard as they crossed
the Arkansas River, i miles above Ft. Scott

The Presidents Last, Shortest

On Thursday of last week two ladies from
Tennessee came before the President, ask
ing the release Of their husbands, held as
prisoners of war at Johnson's Island. They
were put off until Friday when they came
again, and were again put off until Sstur-
day. At each Of the interviews one Of the
ladies urged that her husband was re-
ligious man, ard on Saturday, when the
President ordered the release Of the pris.
oners, he said to this lady: ''You say your
husband is religious man; tell him when
you meet him that say am not much Of
judge Of religion, but that, in my opinion,
the religion that sets men to.rebel and fight
against their Government because, as they
think, that Government does not sufficient

WASHINGTON. DeC

WASHINGTON, Dec III.
The Savannah Chronicle OF the 4th says
the fact that Sherman's army had reached
Millen settles the question that its destina
tion is toward Savannah. His route, how
ever, is yet to be determined Fosters ad-
vance, and his signals, indicate that he ex-
pected to meet Sherman. but the latter
failed to come to hand The point to be
gained by the capture of Grahamvine was
to cut on re-enforcements fIem Augusta to
Savannah. This would place Savannah at
his mercy. as he would use Port Royal as
base, and then proceed to the ultimate OBJ.
jsct of his campsign-the capture of Sa-
vannah, or perhaps Charleston. He would
hardly risk battle before Savannah with
only the supplies be has on hand. He will
first secure his base, and that will be Ora
hamsville and Port Royal.
In view of these considerations, M matter
what feint he may make, he will aim to
reach the point whero Foster is now waiting
for him.
The Richmond Enquirer of tho sth says
the last accounts represent Sherman at
Millen, and that from there he has three
harbors OF about equal distance Beaufort,
Savannah and Daricn.
1t was believe by some that he would yet
endeavor to meet Foster at t3raba msvihe.
and failing in that, try to capture Savannah.
The Savannah Republican says when
Governor Brown fed from Mlledgevile he
took all his properly, even the cabbages that
grew in his garden, but he was not so dill
gent in looking after the State property
All the powder of the State at Nllledge-
vile was left behind, also 5000 stands Of
arms. both Of which tell into tho hands of
the enemy.
The Whig of the Sth says If Sherman
gets through Georgia to the sea coast it will
certainly be great humiliation to the Con-
tiederacy. but it will not be more than a
humiliation.
