Sherman's force and body Of 1000
or 5000 rebels, in which the enemy
were defeated and forty captured Our

number Of prisoners fell into our hands.
Our forces seized provisions of all kinds
and swept on.
Great dissatisfaction is said to exist
among the Kentucky, Tennessee aud
Mississippi regiments and large mum

District of Vicksburg, Gen Mcpherson
having accompanied Sherman with most
of his corps.
Two refugees from Mobile report that
the inhabitants Of that city feel secure
from an attack. Fifteen thousand rebel
troops are reported TO be in and about
the city. The union sentiment prevail
ed to considerable extent which will be
expressed as soon as prote clion is afford
ed.
Nothing is known Of a revolt at Fort
Morgan.
Reports say that Gen. Smith, COM
manding cavalry expedition, was
wounded in fight with Forrest near
Grenada. 1t is not confirmed.
The guerrillas keep up musketry
fire on the steamers below Memphis, but

re- AS simple and truthful evil
dence of the favor with which the re.
election of ABRAHAM LINCOLN is regard
ed throughout the West, we cannot dc
better than to relate the following Incl
dent, which occurred on the cars of The
n & S. C. r. R. the other day: q
Our towpsman, Mr.. c. r. WALLACE,
and a few others, concluded to try az
experiment, andocanvass thevotes of the
passengers on board, to see how they
stood for the presidency and their eff.
fort met with The following result. We
would state, that there were hardly any
soldiers, and the returns were given
from promiscuons crowd, who voted ac
cording TO the dictates of their own judg.
ment unbiased by the wiles or specious
pleas of politicians. The following is
the exact vote, as given for president -
SEYMOUR - fHERRoN / BUTLER A

That will do. pretty well, and shows con.
clusively, that the PEOPLE ofthe Yves

integrity of Mr. LINCOLN, and that he i:
their favorite, over all others, for the
Presidential chair. ~

me, and, being half asleep, asked for bed
room. 1t was six A. NJ. and he went to bed
and to sleep. When he awoke he found
himself lying In state in crimson satin bed
the room lighted up by many bougies, and
quite vista of looking glass reflected and re-
reflected his astonished face. He rose and
found baths prepared in dressing-room fit
ed up like lady's boudoir, and, finally, break
fast arranged on small table in the midst of
q vast saloon, bright with mirrors, and splen-
did with gold and crimson Alarmed he rang
the bell. "Waiter, where am I?" Hotel

the price ?" asked my friend. Oh, bagtelle,
as son excellence will see by the tariile." lie
looked and found it was two hundred francs.

was an ambassador. We always put them au

ULAR in selecting his physician, it is a amentabe
yet incontrovertabe fact that many syphilitic pa

by maltreatment from inexperienced physicians in

by the best syphiographers that the study and
agement of these complaints should engross the
whole time Of those who would be competent and
successful in their treatment and cure. The mex
