EEA soldier in Sherman's army,
with throat cut from ear to ear, was
thought to be MORALLY wounded by a
council of surgeons; but the one UNI
der W hoso immediate charge he was,
thought he was justified in making an
experiment for the good of others, at
the same time having great hopes of
saving the man. He first commenced
the task by cutting through where the
two upper ribs meets the sternum,
and through this orifice for forty days
he has been fed five gallons of milk
per week, and sometimes his appetite
required five per day. He is fat and
hearty, and the surgeon thinks that
in two weeks he will have him able,
and the inside of his throat SO nearly
healed, as to swallow by the natural
passage lie at first introduced a
stomach pump, and thus fed his pa
tent, and after few hours would
clear his stomach in the same manner

it was no longer necessary. A silver

NV YORK, Nov. %.
Notwithstanding the anxiety un-
mistakably evidenced by tho rebel au-
thorities and newspapers of Rich
mond, to conceal adviccs of Sherman's
movements, they cannot avoid dis
closing a great deal in regard to them,
but probably not half they know
We have al they were willing to tell
up to last Friday. An engagement,
the Richmond papers say, occurred
last Wednesday on the west side Of
the Oconee River, near IIillsboro,
where the Georgia Central Railroad
crosses the river, between the rebels
and large force of Sherman's caval-
ry, in which, of course, the Union
troops were repulsed. They are said
to have been still on the west side of
Oconee on tho following day. The
Augusta CoaStitationalist says the rail-
rord bridge over the river was burned
by them on last Sunday. The report
of the burning of Milledgevillo is SAID
by the Richmond editors to lack con-
firmation, though it is believed that q
portion "a ohermnn's force has been
there, but in the Savannah news of
the Odd inst. a dispatch reiterates that
it was captured on last Monday, and
the State House, Governors mansion
and Penitentiary there burned, and
that the town of Gordon was also
captured by the Yankees.
The Governors Of South Carolina
and Georgia have issued IA proclama-
ton, calling out all the males of these
States between the ages oil sixteen
and fifty-fve.
A correspondent Of tho Richmond
Dispatch says: The Yankee govern
ment can well afford to pay one mil
lion dollars per day for the informa-
ton which the Richmond papers furn-
ish to its gratis, regarding the move
ments of Sherman in Georgia.

THE FLoprpA.--This embarrassin.

THE FLoRIDA.--Th This embarrassing
difficulty with Brazil seems to have
accidentally received a solution which
must relieve the anxious minds of all,
European and American, who had or
had not IN interest in it. The tele-
graph informs us that she has been
run into by an army steamer and
sunk.
An ample apology to Brazil for the
indiscreet zeal of Napoleon Collins,
and an assurance that nothing but
her unfortunate sinking prevents us
from returning her to Bahio, and even
repairing her damaged stern, must
satisfy the wounded honor of that
country, and convince the world OF
our anxiety TO do justice To nll nations.

last stages of emaciation from chronic
diarh9a received no nourishment, and
starved to death Of coarse rations,
which the stomach Of stroug man
would reject. Others suffering from
gangrene and ulcers were compelled
to tester in putridity without even suf-
ficient water to cleanse their loath-
some sores. Week after week the
diseased and dying were kept without
shelter, and many without clothing,
on bare ground, exposed to torrid

The Richmond Examiner thinks that
the ruthless conduct of the great ma
tional army will tend TO cement Geor-
gians in support of the rebel govern
ment, and cause the lukewarm and
hating to Immediately take up arms
and become its most uncompromising
defenders, and that the State, after
passing through this ordeal of fire,
will come forth purified and purgsd
Of its old love for the Union.
The Richmond Why, though 1t is
not so hopeful as its contempora-
ny, says. We cannot say that we
feel an absolute conviction, although
indeed our hopes are strong that Sher-
man will fail in achieving his final
object 1t says that Sherman is a
man of undoubted ability and astute-
ness, and he would never have com
menced his march from Atlanta, had
he not believed he could finally reach
the coast in safety. The papers show
the division of sentiment, distraction,
and the panic which Sherman's oper-
atoms have created in the South, and
authorize us in anticipating the most
decisive and glorious results from
them. Late rebel papers are filled
with articles, illustrating the bitter
ness of different factions Of the chiv-
airy towards one another and their
intestinal divisions denouncing jeff.
Davis. the rebel Congress, and the
whole mushroom government at Rich
mond. Jeff's Wholesale CONSUMPTION
has stirred up storm of Indignation.
He is accused OF o design to make
himself an unrestrained dictator, and
it is prophesied that ere long he. will
reap the whirlwind.
The WMlTs Washington special
says: Richmond papers of the 9th
announce that Sherman has captured
Milledgeville.
Sherman everywhere is laying waste
the country with fire and sword, show
ing clearly his determination to take
no step backward.
The Enquirer, of the Odd, says OF
Sherman: This only he has gained,
and it is no small gain, when with his
plans for winter, Hood is far off to
the west, only feebly threading his
rear and flank, and with the hostile
army under Thomas between him and
Atlanta. 1t may be this position
which Sherman had in view when he
boosted he would soon have Hood
where he wanted him. 1t is certain
his pursuit has been n series of feints,
and that the door TO West Tennessee
was purposely left open to allure the
eager looks of our gallant men in
that direction. Sherman will try to
possess himself, first, of Macon. He
could thus obtain command Of the
railroad which leads from Macon
eastward, to Augusta, and the seat o.
government, and westward to Missis
sippi, thus effectively destroying ou1
communications with Trans Missis
sippi. He would, moreover, cut of
Hood from his base of operations
supplies and means, combining will
the seat of government. In these re
spects the move is formidable, and it
no use to shut our eyes willfully t.
the danger, far better look it in thu
face and prepare for resistance will
vigor and dispatch. Georgia will hav'
at last the bitter cup that has so long
been at our lips. But her revenge j
at hand, and an opportunity to SHOW
her loyalty and gallantry, for Sher
man will place himself in the mos

opinion was that the vessel ought to be

has an absolute right to seizs any vessel
belonging to the Federals and it would be

said thst he felt some difficulty in bring

Special to the Post:
Mr.. Chase is firmly resolved not TO issue
any more legal tender currency in any
contingency. This purpose he openly
svows. The one-year certificates are de-
pressed, owing to the popular impression
that an unusual amount is on the market
The fact is that the redemptions exceed
the issues, and the amount afost is rapid
ly growing less. 1t is considered that 10
more ffve-twenty bonds will be issued af-
ter the present series is exhsused.
The War department will not furnish
transportation as was for time supposed
to persons desiring to attend the sales Of

A letter from Loudon county, Virginia,
says that daring robberies are being every

the inhabitants to save their dwellings
from confagration- There is a greater
state Of alarm prevailing than has before
existed during the war. The depredations
are represented to be committed by South
ern deserters. There being no protection
afforded them, the citizens are compelled
to submit.
1t is stated that more than a week ago
the rebels were moving towards Winches-
ter with the intention probably Of pro-
eeeding beyond that town. This report is
now verified. The Government has not
been unmindful Of this important fact and
has taken measures accordingly.

Informstion has reached here from three
or four different directions that all rebel
troops which have been operating in West
ern Louisiana on the banks Of the Muse
River, and in fact, the whole force Of the
enemy are gathering in central Texas and
uniting to form one large army to attack
our new acquisitions on the cosst Of Texas.
They will nnmber at least 10000. The
uost ample preparations have been made
to meet this force as well as possible with
the number Of troops in this department.
There will be soon news Of great import
snce from Texas. The 10Th army corps
still remains at New Iberia. Nearly every
