Sherman Near Macon.

New YORK, Nov. 23-The Times Wash
ington special says Richmond papers of
Monday last are received, dated Saturday.
They state Sherman's army is marching
rapidly on Macon, and report his advance
as having reached the outskirts of the city.
They have no hope that Cobb's militia will
be able to hold Macon. At Griffin we cap
tured a part of the Legislature. (p)
Gen. Sherman on his march thus far, has
spread out his forces, sweeping wide
space of country, and creating universal
panic. Sherman's other column is reported
as moving on Augusta and Milledgeville.
The Richmond papers state they have
other news, but that as we are exclusively
dependent on them for information, they
do not mean to crafty us by communicat-
ing it,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Thc Republican
OF this evening has the following:
We are permitted to announce that Rich
mond papers of yesterday morning Tues
day, Nov. 22,) contain dispatches from Ma
con that OH Sunday last Gen. Sherman was
within eighteen miles of that place, march
ing upon that city. 1t is believed in high
military quarters that before this time Ma
con has fallen.
Information considered reliable has been
received that the city was only garrisoned
by Georgia militia, composed chiefly of old
men and boys, and that no attempt would
be made to defend it, fearing that its de-
struction would follow.
No report from Richmond papers of to-
day having been received, the inference is
confirmed of the above probability.

NEW York, Nov.23.--By the arrival of
the Commander we have Havana advices of
the 14th. Havana papers print letter
purporting to be from Mejia, containing a
summary of the situation at Matamoras on
the 10th ult.; the submission of Cortinas,
capitulation Of the city, with 21 cannon, an
immense amount of war material and TO-
0O0 men, complete peace on the greater
portion Of the Brazos frontier, new impulse
TO commerce between Matamoras and Tex
as, and solemn recognition of the new en-
pire by Bagdad.
The rebel and Union camps are in sight
ofMatamoras. The rebels offer to return the
armament taken by Carol, and the Amer
lean Consul offers TO return the three rhed
guns Cortinas took to the Union camp to
attack Brownsville.
The steamer Mexico was boarded by
Mr.. Townsend at Matainoras, who pretend
ed to have authority from the American
Consul, and changed the papers and flag of
the vessel from American to Mexican. He
then forced the crew to navigate the vessel
to Havana, where he turned them adrift,
and the vessel will now probably 60 into
rebel service.

his fence in all the immaculate purity of

his puzzled head and wonders what that

PANORAMA OF THE BIBLE.-This interest
ing series of paintings was exhibited last
evening at Naughton Hall, and far excelled
our expectations. We have witnessed sew
eral panoramas of the kind, but this is GER
tainly superior as work of art to any OF
them. The blending of light and shade in
the various scenes presented is admirable
The representation of ancient cities is truly
grand, and scarcely view is offered to
the spectator that does not impress on his
mind some striking scene or event recorded
in sacred history. But this Panorama should
be seen to be appreciated.
The Panorama of the Bible will be exhib-
tied at three o'clock this afternoon, and
again at half past seven this evening. Our
citizens should make it point to visit 1t
and take their families.

Rebel News From Grams Army.

New YORK, Nov. 23.--The Richmond
Sentinel of Saturday says Grant is massing
troops on the right of the rebel lines in the
vicinity of Battery Harrison, and that Sher-
idan has sent considerable portion of his
command to the James. A slight demon
stration was made on Wednesday ON But
lers front by his troops, but it was forced
back without accomplishing anything.
The Express reports the arrival of heavy
reinforcements to Grant within the past few
days. In the affair Of Thursday night they
claim to have captured our picket lines for
distance of 600yards.
Mosby has written a letter to Sheridan,
announcing the execution of seven Union
prisoners in retaliation, and announcing the
intention to continue it, if any more of his
captured men are executed.
III g Sentinel announces that Gen. Gusta-
vius Smith is aiding Gen. Howell Cobb in
opposing Sherman's march.

Important from south America.

New YORK, Nov. 23.-We have late i'm
portant advices from South America. The
native rebels in Uruguay were operating
with great activity against the government
troops, and their action was atfording very
great to the war encroachment of Brazil
against the Republic. The President of
Paraguay had furnished a sharp n te of
protest to the Envoy of Brazil, against the
policy of the Emperor, in which the Presi-
dent declared his intention of taking up
arms If necessary in support of the cause of
the sister Republic of Uruguay. In this
paper the President of Paraguay condemns
the non-intervention course of the govern
ment of Buenos Ayres.
1t was thought that Paraguay would
bring forward power which would prove
very formidable to Brazil. The Uraguaian
troops were in hasty march for Paysandee,
the occupation of which place it was
thought would decide the war against the
rebels. Some British, Brazilian and French
war vessels were off Paysandee.
Bya decree of the Brazilian government,
dated Sept. 18th, all the free Africans in
the empire, whether in service of the State
or of private individuals, are emancipated.
Rio Janerio was recovering in Slight
degree from the effects of the late financial
panic. All the commercial interests of the
country were greatly affected by the shock.

News from Sherman's Army 10 the
Nineteenth.

New YORK, Nov. 23.-The IIerald's
Washington special says: Advices received
here to-day from Gen Sherman's army. show
that he was, on the 10Th inst, within thirty
miles Of Macon, and it is believed that by
this time he has possession of the place. He
has thus far met with but little opposition,
and his campaign is progressing with all
the success that could be desired.
The Times Washington special says:
The latest intelligence from Sherman re-
ports him within twenty miles of Macon,
his march unoppOsed. We may therefore
look for the announcement of the capture
Of that place any hour. Macon is l0i miles
from Atlanta, and one of the centers of the
great railroad system of Georgia. 1t also
contains an extensive arsenal and cap fac
tory. Its capture will form the first of the
series of brilliant results to be hoped for
from Sherman's grand campaign,

Gen. Canby's Health. News From
Richmond Papers

New YORK, Nov. 23.-The Tribune's
Washington correspondent says: Infor-
nation has been received at the War De-
partmcnt that Gen. Candy was improving.
Late rebel papers say Gov. Watts, of Ala
bama, has had an official conflict with the
rebel conscripting officers. The policemen
of Selma being taken for service in the ar
my, they applied for release to the Cover
nor who issued an order that as State Off
GERS they were exempt from the draft, and
they were therefore released.
The Richmond Examiner is very severe
on what it styles the detection of Governor
Brown, of Georgia, and the Legislatures OF
that State and Alabama. 1t says that the
convention of all the States, North and
South, for the purpose of agreeing upon
terms of peace, will meet on the same day
with the parliament of mankind the fed
Grafton of the world-aud not one hour
sooner.

The receipts of the National Sailors Fair
which closed last evening, have not yet

will exceed $4,000. The officers and crew
of the United States steam sloop of war
Brooklyn sent in contribution OF $3.50
yesterday, which secured the sword to
Capt James Olden, commander of the
Brooklyn. The sword contest up to this
unexpected result had been quite close be-
tween Farragut and Winslow.

Affairs In the Southwest.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. pa Paducah dispatch
of yesterday .says military affairs in this
district are active. Every rebel move on
this side now is known. The whole
country has been thoroughly secuted
and parties bring in prisoners daily
The concentration of troops and the
coming of A. j. Smith mean something,
but what it is is not proper to say
A few days, however, will develop the plan
of the contemplated campaign. Both Cum
berland and Tennessee rivers are in fine
boating order, and will prove valuable aux
iliaries to military operations in Tennessee
and Kentucky.
eThe gunboats Poria and Pawpaw returned
here Sunday from accommodating UP Ten
nessee river. The bodies OF Ensign Hteave,
of the gunboat Undine, and Capt. Allen, of
the transport Venus, killed when their
vessels were captured by Forrest two
weeks since, were recovered at Paris.
The gunbuats found the river lined
with rebel pickets from Pine Bluff
to .Johnsonville. Tie rebel Gen. Lyon,
commanding that district, has orders
to watch the river closely and blockade it
as soon as the transports begin running
again. Forrest has a pontOon across the
river at Chickasaw.
Deserters and scouts report that Hoods
army is 30,UOO strong, with thirty-Seven
pieces of artillery. He intended to operate
IN Middle and Eastern Tennessee and Ken
tucky, and was marching OH Pulaski, Giles
county, Tennessee, and expected ultimate
ly to seize Cumberland Gap. His men
greatly need clothing and supplies which
they hope to obtain by plundering towns
thorough which they pass. Large numbers
of deserters come into our lines daily; many
of them bring horses and equipments.
Advices from Fayetteville, Arkansas, say
Colonel Brooks, with $500 rebels, attacked
that place October 2Sth, but was repulsed
with considerable loss. From that time to
November 3rd, the town was pretty closely
invested, when General Pagan, with 5000
of Prices retreating forces, came up and
b0mbarded the place five hours with two
pieces of artillery, but was held at
bay until the next day, when Cur
tis and Blunt arrived and the rebels
skedaddled. They lost nearly one hundred
in killed and wounded. Ourloss was one
killed. A missionary who had travelled
some forty miles with Price in Arkansas,
reports that the General told him he had
lost over 10000 men in killed, wounded and
desertion, and his expedition into Missouri
has been most disastrous.
