FROM SHERMAN-Col. c. G. Smith,
of the 10th Ohio Cavalry, who left Sher-
mans advance Saturday 9th inst has
reached Cleveland. When he left tprepa-
rations were making to cross the Chatta-
hoochie On Sunday Gen. Sherman tel
egraphed one of his staff at Nashville that
the army was safely across the river, and
within six miles of Atlanta. Col. Smith
says there is but little doubt that Allan
ia will speedily be ours, and thus the main
business of the campaign be accomplish
ed. The weather was exceedingly warm.
Communication between the army and its
base is perfect, and supplies regularly re-
ccived.
The Chattanooga Gazette, of Sunday,
says Unofficial advices have reached
this city that large proportion of Sher-
mans forces have successfully crossed the
Chattahoochie, and that at least two
thousand Of Hardee's corps have been
gobbled up by the great tanker. Indeed
rumor sets the figures at not less than 5,
900; but, as we never deal in sensations,
we place them at 1000.
Johnston is still " drawing" Sherman.
He will soon have him in Atlanta. Johns
ton is good ona " draw" but judging from
the books at the p NJ. Generals office,
he is losing a great many chips"
Further advices fully confirm the cross
ing of the Chattahoochie, and the secure
lodgment of our forces on the south side
of that stream. We shall expect to hear
of the fall of Atlanta within few days.
TIE ESCAPE OF GEN. TYLER-The
facts connected with the Generals escape
are as follows:
On Saturday, after our troops had re-
tired from the Monocacy bridge, Gen. Ty-
ler and his staff made stand on the hill
on the cast Of the bridge, but were not
there long before they discovered them
selves to be surrounded by the rebels.
The General and his party succeeded in
making their escape on the north side,
closley pursued by the enemy, who fred
upon them repeatedly, killing one of the
Generals orderlies, a German To this
fact the General attributes his escape, as,
when the soldier fell from his saddle in
the road, the pursucrs stopped to see who
it was, and to enquire if General Tyler
was not of the party etc During this
time the General alreached clump of woods
and the three officers secreted themselves
from theirpursuers.
a negro who was endeavoring to make
hise scape from the rebel lines, pointed out
the way to the house Of well-known and
patriotic citizen of Frederick county,whosc
family were unremittingin their attention
to the fugitives, concealing them until
Tuesday, when they took their departure
for Frederick which they reached early
in the morning.

Two YOUNG LADIES MEET WITH AN
UNTIMELY END.-The Cincinnati Enquirer
relates that on last Saturday night two
Misses, named Hill and Johnston, aged Ia
and Is years, left Branch Hill to visit the
fsmily of Mr.. Baker, residing at Red Bank,
both stations being on the Little Miami rail-
road. The mic hit being cold and there being
no fire in the room to which they were as
signed for the night, the young ladies pro
cured an iron pot and filing it with live
embers from a burning wood fire, SET it in
the middle of the room and went to bed.
In the morning they were both found dead
in their bed from the effects of the fumes
of the charcoal, which had filled the room
and they had inhaled. When found in the
morning head, they had the appearance of
being in a sound sleep. The young ladies
were both highly intelligent and greatly
beloved by their large circle of acquaintan-
ces, and the calamity has cast deep gloom
over their friends.

Rebel Raid.

We learn that on Saturday night, the
18th ult., band Of guerriallas, numbering
about 100, under the command Of one Ma,
jor Nowning, entered Winfield, Putnam
county, and captured W. II. Shaw, the
Sheriff of that county, stole some ten or
twelve horses, broke open store belong
ing to Mr.. George Cox, taking and destroy
ing goods to the amount of from $1,000 Co
$3.50. After stealing and Destroy y
everything they could find in Winte.l
they crossed the river to Red House
They entered the telegraph office, took all
the ink, pens, paper envelopes, &C., they
could find, but did not disturb the bat
terry" they then cut the telegraph wire in
one or two places, and concluded their de
predations at Red House by taking all the
valuable horses they could find; they re-
crossed the river to Winfield, and about 2
o'clock retreated by the way they came,
gunmolssted.
We think that it is high time something
was done to put stop TO these thieviug
bands We understand that Capt Rucker
and his noble band of patriots, pursued
them for some distance but could not over
take them. If it were not for these Home
p Guards, matters would be much worse than
they are.-M. Pleasant W. W Register.

TREiTMENT OF OUR PRISONERS. The
Boston Commonwealth, organ of Senator
Sumner, quoting an article from Richmond
paper, say;
"We publish the above with pleasure, be.
cause it goes to show that the Confeder-
ates have tried t, deal fairly in the distri-
button of supplies for our prisoners We
have yet seen no authentic evidence of un-
fair dealing, and until we have some better
proof than the appeals of penny-a-linerS To
Ignorance and prejudice, we shall retain all
the faith in Confederate humanity which
facts will justify"
