REBEL ACCOUNTS OF sHERMAS's HoYE'
MENTg.
Correspondents of rebel papers give the
following concerning General sherman's
movements:
On Friday, November 7th, portion Of
ShermHn's cavalry force crossed the Oge-
chez river at the Shoals, and subdivided
into marau1ing psrties-g0ing through tie
public and settlement roads 10 every farm
in the southern portion of Warren county.
The mills at the Shoals were burned by a
small party, who could have been captured,
had our small cavalry force stood long
enough. Our wealthy country people failed
to get OF their horses and mules, and these
supplied the places of those worn out by
the enemy. All the barns and cribs we're
destroyed, leaving but little for Wheeler's
cavalry. The country was one vast scene
of desolation and ruin. In many places
nothing but the dwellings were left up
on the farms. The State House and
executive mansion were, after consultation
on the part of Sherman and other Gener-
ais, left standing, on the ground that with
in six months Georgia would again be q
part Of US through State acton. Staff Off
GERS repeatedly asserted that they knew The
State would go back
REBEL SUSCEPTIBILITY.
I---r-l vs-loo- -fs;ao-- s-s-,,- ry,I,,-,z L..
confess that the guard at that place is very
susceptible to bribery. Somebody wants
ventilation.
The Savannah Republican, Of the Sd, gives
a long account of Honey Hill fight, near
Grshamsville. It says: The centre and le #
of the enemy fought with desperate
earnestness. Several attempts were made
to charge our batteries, and many got
nearly across, but in every instance were
forced back by the CALLING fire poured into
him from our lines.
It is estimated that the loss of the enc
my is fully five hundred. Ours was eighty
eight killed outright and tbirty-nine
wounded, three or four mortally. The
fought to some disadvantage as they Gred
up tae hill and most Of their shots ranged
too high.
AN ADMISSION.
The Charleston Mercury, Of the 9th, ad-
mits that Fosters forces had been success
full near the Pocotsligo, on the Charleston
and Savannah Ralrosd. They had cut
the road and driven the rebels from theil
entrenched position.
RICHMOND PAPKEs on THE PREsmRNT'!
MESSAGE.
The Richmond papers publish Lincoln
Message and call It hard names. TIL,
Sentinel, in long editorial on the conclu
sion of the Message in response to tn,
propositions of peace men, says; We sur
pose, if anything can, Mr. Lincoln's EN-
phatic, brutal declarations viii silence al
ideas of that sort
Hereafter absolute, unqualified submis
sion, to be followed by the spollation @
our property and the Africsnizstion Q
our country, is superciliously laid down 8
his only terms of peace. This decisrasiO
in his message will tend TO silence all ol
jections of every sort TO the use Of ou
slaves in the public defense, if that or sui
jugstion be the alternative.
REBEL CONGRESS.
In the rebel Senate, the resolutions co.
cerning the seizure of the pirate FlOrid
we're taken up and passed, after some di
cussion and considerable amendment.
Mr.. Ssmmes, of Louisiana, was Opposes
to the resolution which iIstruets Ministe
to call the attention of foreign powers
the seizure. If that resolution we
adopted, information would have to
communicated in some sort of bsck-do
manner, both England and France havi1
refused 10 recognize the Confederate Go
. ernment. He felt more like recallil
those Commissioners, than sending the
fresh instructions.

! no difficulty in crossing the Mississippi
sharp lookout being the only necessa
precsution, and that it is thoroughly pl
