Sherman's Expedition.

The news concerning Sherman's ex-
petition is provokingly indefinite and
conflicting. The Nashville Union of
last Friday gives an account of the
whereabouts and progress of the expe-
dition, which entirely contradicts the
reports via Vicksburg. 1t says Sher.
man, on the oath ultimo, was pushing
on towards Salem, having already
reached the Tombigbee river, and cap.
tured Demopolis, the enemy fleeing be.
fore him. Per contra, news is said to
have been received at Washington that
portion of Sherman's forces have re.
turned to Jackson. The Chicago zri
Dune of Tuesday, expresses the opinion
that the expedition is at an end. II
says the report comes re affirmed, and
apparently on good authority, that he
has reached Jackson on his way tc
Vicksburg. We are prepared to be-
lieve it to be true, and to award &c
Gen. Sherman and his corps comman
ders, if it be SO, the highest praise fol
the gallantry and steadiness which
could have brought them safely out o.
perils, than which none more imminent
have ever hung about any expedition
in this war. 1t is something to have
gone forward and got safely back or
Sherman's route into the very heart o.
the rebellion. 1t is nevertheless a dis
appointment that an advantage thu.
reached could not have been improved
but this the failure of the other CO. op
Grating expeditions forbade.

THE WHISKY BuL.-The whisky bill
has passed both houses and awaits the
Presidents signature. 1t impoes tax
of 50 cents per gallon on all spirits
which may be distilled and sold, or re-
moved for consumption or sale previ-
Gus to the LIST of July next Any tax
after this time is to be provided for by
future legislation, and will doubtless be
inserted iH the supplemental tax bill
now under consideration by the Com
mittee of Ways and Means. The whisky
bill proposes an additional tax of 40
cents per gallon on distilled spirits on
hand. The sliding scale of duties on
both domestic and foreign spirits, and
a tax on the spirits, has no place in the
bill.
