states that, IN consequence OF scarcity Of
ammunition and supplies, he was compelled
to withdraw from the presence Of the enc

at Salem; while Richmond paper OF the
24th says that he has rctreatcd to Fincas-
tie, having lost thirteen guns.
Gen. Sherman advises Secretary Stan

upon Johnston's position on the 9th inst
losing between 2,G0O and 5000 men, the
rebel loss not being SO heavy The rebels
assert that Sherman attacked Johnston on
the 2ith, and after two desperate assaults,
