New YoRx, Nov. 28.-Notwithstanding
the anxiety Enthusiastically evinced by the
rebel authorities and newspapers Of Rich
mond 70 conceal the sdvices Of Sherman's
movements, they cannot avoid disclosing a
great deal in regard TO them, but probably
not half they know. We have all they were
willing to tell up to last Friday.
An item from the Richmond papers says
fight occurred last Wednesday OH the west
side of the river, between the rebels and
largo force OF Sncrrnan's cavalry, in which
of course the Union troops were rcpulsed.
They are said to have been still on the
west side Of the Ocono on the following
day.
The Augusta ConstitutionaIist says the
railroad bridge over the river was burned
by them on last Sunday.
The report Of the burning Of Millcdgcville
n said by Richmond editors to Ia X con-
firmati0n, though it is believed that por-
ton Of Sherman's force has been there.
In the Savannah news Of the 23d, dis
patch reitcratcs that it was captured on last
Monday, and that the State House, Gov
errors mansion and Penitcnt'ary there
were burned, and that the town Of Gordon
was also captured by the Yankees.
The Governors Of South Carolina and
Georgia have issued a proclamation calling
out all the males Of these States between IL
and 55. -
A correspondent of the Richmond Dis
patch says the Yankee government can
we'll afford to pay one million dollars per day
for the Information which the II edmond pa
pers furnish to it gratis, regarding the move
ments Of Sherman in Georgia.

We acknowledge the receipt Of letter
from company "A," Of this gallant regiment,
dated Prospect, Tenn, April I'd. We regret
that we have not room to publish it in full,
and must therefore beg the indulgence Of our
correspondent. He says: "We have but
two company officers with US, Lieutenants
Springer and Eichelberger, who are, by the
way, two of the best officers this regiment
ever had. Springer IS one of the best men
that ever left Iowa, beloved by all his men,
all of whom would be glad to see him at the
head of the regiment. He Is one of the most
watchful officers for the interests of his men,
and allows none to suffer when it can be
avoided. If we are out of food, as is some
times the case, we 60 into the country and
return with beef or hog. Lieut.. Eichel-
berger does his duty like man, and splen-
did fellow he is. He don't bother himself
about the business Of other people when it
does not interfere with his own. He is q
good officer and is to-day on guard duty.
"Our duty is not very heavy, standing
guard and taking our turns twice week,
but we old soldiers are used to hardships.
Our company numbers about 70 men. Our
regiment is much divided, one company at a
mill seven miles from here, two companies at
q trestle work about five miles distant, one
company guarding the fort, situated on hill,
about 900 yards above US. From this fort,
mounted with two small guns, the country
can be seen for miles distant"

General Rousseau, a Kentuckian, slave
holder, but brave man and patriot, who
now commands the military district of Nash
vile, made speech at Tennessee Union
Convention at Shelbyvills, on tho 4th inst,
in which he boldly declared himself in favor
of the abolition Of slavery. He stated that a
severe conflict had been going on between his
prejudices and his judgment, but the former
were finally conquered, and he now bel,eyes,
in all sincerity, that slavery not only was the
cause of the war, but its removal from the
land was necessity to permanent national
peace and the country's well being in the fu-
ture. He declared his readiness to give up
property and everything, but the cause Of his
country he can never give up.
And yet there are thousands of poor driv-
cling narrow souls, here in the North, who
can see no salvation Of the country, except
through the preservation of negro slsvery.-

The number of the note is larger and less
brilliant in color than the genuine. The i'm
print of the American Bank Note COMPANY
at the top is also larger, the double rule run

twice as large, while there is a diagonal shad-

The President and the Enancipa.
titOn PROCLAIM a ion.
LETTER FROM OWEN LovEJoY

The Boston LiberGtor of this week pub
fishes letter from the late Owen Loveioy,
addressed to William Lloyd Garrison, under
date of Washington, February 2zd, 1884,
In this letter Mr.. Lovejoy says: ''I write
you, although i'll health compels me to do it
by the hand of another, to express to you
my qualification at the position you have taken
in reference to Mr.. Lincoln. am satisfied AS
the old theologans used to say in regard to
the world, that if he is not the best conceiv :
able President, he is the best possible. Ihave
known something Of the facts inside during
his administration, and know that he has
been just as radical as any of his Cabinet
And although he does not do everything that
you or l would like, the question recurs
whether it is likely we can elect man who
would. It is evident that the great mass of
Unionists prefer him for reelection; and il
seems to me certain that the providence OF
God, during another term, will grind slavery
to powder. believe now that the President
is up with the average of the House."
"Recurring to the President, there are a
great many reports concerning him which
seem to be reliable and authentic, which, after
all, are not so. 1t was currently reported
among the anti-slavery men of Illinois that
the Emancipation Proclamation was extorted
frorn him by the outward pressure, and par
ticularly by the delegation from the Christian
Convention that met at Chicago. Now, the
fact is this, as had it from his own lips -
He had written the Proclamation in the sum
mer, as early as June, l think-but will not
be certain as to the precise time-and called
his Cabinet together, and informed them he
had written it, and he meant to make it but
wanted to read it to them for any criticism OF
remarks as to its features or details. After
having done so, Mr.. Seward suggested wheth-
er it would not be we'll for him to withhold
its publication until after we had gained some
substantial advantage in the field, as at that
time we had met with many reverses, and it
might be considered cry of despair. he
told me he thought the suggestion wise one
and SO held on to the proclamation until after
the battle of Antietam.
II mention this as sample of great
many others.'

POstpOnement Of the National Con.
YentiOn.

Washington Correspondence CINCINNATI Gazette.l
Union Congressman and others at the Cap.
itai are seriously So, thinking of the wisdom of
postponing the Baltimore HHcc.2,yentio,n, Hc., for e
month, at least. The spring military cam
paign will not commence as soon as expected.
The Army of the Potomac cannot move before
the first Of May, and decisive results can not
be looked for before the first of July. Rich
mond will not be taken by rapid marches, or
short and decisive assaults, but will have to
be invested and beseiged for weeks, perhaps
for months. The Union party has nothing
to lose by putting off the inaug guration of the
political campaign until the first of July, or,
if necessary, until the first of August but
there is danger of its losing great deal by
diverting public attention from the question
in which all other questions are swallowed up
that of suppressing the rebellion and re-.
storing the Union-to political conflicts and
stump speeches. If the Copperheads want
to open the ball at an earlier stage, let them
do so. Let them howl about personal liberty
and constitutional rights as much as they
please. Gen. Grants success on the Potomac
will be more formidable argument against
the peace faction than the eloquence of a
Demosthenes himself.
