sHERMAN'S MOVEMENTS.

WAsHGNGToN, May 20.
Gen. Sherman has already got half way to
Atlanta from his original starting point
Kingston. where he was last heard from, is
10 miles fr m Chattanooga aud SO from At
lanta, and about Sc from the position at
which Sherman began the campaign. There
is much reason to believe that he has over
come much moro than half the difficulties Of
the route. 1t is true, his inconvenience in
bringing up supplies increases as he goes on,
but as he seems to have repaired the railroad
fast as he advanced, little difficulty will be
experienced on this score. The strategic OBJ
stacles yet to be encountered are decidedly
less. The country grows more open, and
there ia no one position yet remaining that
affords such points for defense as that strong
hold Of Dalton, out of which Johnston was
so quickly crowded. Still, the latter will
delay our progress as much as possible, and
if Sherman can accomplish the remainder Of
the way to Atlant1 in the same length Of
time he has occupied thus far, it will be all
that can be expected Atlanta itself is sur
rounded with mountains, and has probably
been fortified somewhat already, and every
man that can be spared will be put upon the
works while Johnston ia delaying the ad-
vance oi our army. nut the TeOeis may ohiy
succeed in making another Vicksburg for
themselves.
Advices from Gen. Sherman dated 10
O'Clock last night, say that during the day he
had pushed a column beyond that place in
pursuit of Johnston as far as Cassvile, aud
there was skirmishing in the latter part Of the
day with Hardee's Corps.
NASHVILLE, May 20.
Five hundred and thirteen prisoners cap
tured at Resaca arrived to-day. Among them

Mr.. EDiToR The call for contributions
for the Christian Commission in your paper
Saturday, was most appropriate and timely.
How could we pray for our brave soldiers
doing and suffering so much for us without
giving something for their benefit am sure
the Christian Commission will use most wise
ly and efficiently what is given. Allow me
to say that at united meeting of the differ
ent religious societies in this town on Sab
bath p. m. contribution was taken, which,
with subsequent donations from individuals
and Soldiers Aid Soiety, amounted to $1,000.
Will not those individuals and churches that
failed to contribute on the last Sabbath do
so soon Money sent to Joseph Story, ll2
fremont street. Boston, will soon be aiding
in the compassionate and christian work Of
the Commission. p. +. B.

No IMPORTED GooDs.-The ladies of Ben
nington are going forward in the movement
against the use of imported goods during the
war.
The anti-foreign goods meeting of the wo-
men of New York, on Monday, was big
thing. twenty-five hundred OF the best wo-
men in the city attended it. Cooper lnsti-
tuts was never filed before with such col
lection of beauty and fashion. So many car
riages of the first families never before halted
before its doors. The enthusiasm equalled
the turn out. and the anti-extravaganee pledge
was unanimously adopted. II anything was
needed before to give zest to the movement
for dispensing with articles OF foreign dress
and luxury, the want is now supplied II is
fashionable for Americans to wear American
goods, and who wouldn't be in the fashion
Pass round the pledge. " For three years or
during the war we pledge ourselves 10 pur-
chase no foreign article OF dress ! there will
be enough to sign it now.-SPr'ngfsid Re

Nsw YORK, May 20.
The Philadelphia Enquirer has a report of
Kautz last raid IL destroyed large sup-
plies OF stores at Walthtm Junction, Pow
haitian, Chulan, Lawrencevile and other
places.
Four railroads were rendered useles. the
expedition went within four miles OF Rich
mond, met the enemy in several encounters
and always drove them. KAutz lost so or
go men, and captured twice that number of
prisoners
A correspondent Of that paper says: But
Ter lost about 5000 msn on NJ inday, and cap
turei about $50 prisoners. H fell back 70
within i've mde. OF Bsrmld4 Hunlred. The
enemy attacked Buffers lihes Tuesday night
and we're severely repulsed.
Although there was no heavy fighting ves-
terday m. between the two armies ia Vir-
glnia it is known that Gen. Grant is prepar-
ing for the greatest coutest of the war.
The Times correspondent with Gen. But
Ter says Gen. Buffers campaign up to the
close Of Mondays severe engagement. ending
with withdrawal from our advanced posi-
tion TO our entertainments cannot, be regarded
az def at. The object aimed at VS. fully
obtained and was decided upon BY Gen But
tul 7Neh ~ iAl9 WupAt hhl W Od sac
ridcsd. Il was for the purpose Of distract
ing the attention Of the rebel forces garrison
ing the outer defeuces Of Richmond from the
movement Of Kautz upon the Danvile &
Richmond railroad as by the breaking Of th 1t
communication every line Of travel radiating
fom Richmond by which Lee could receive
supplies for his army would be cut.
The Heraid's correspondence with Butler
dated l7th inst. says: Two heavy columns
of the enemy we're discovered passing down
the pike towards Petersburgh with large
trains. Gen. Foster was sent ou; with force
consisting Of Onderdonk's mounted rihemen,
a battalion Of the 4th Mass. cavalry, and
portion st the llth Maine infantry, to destroy
If possible The train, but the enemy were met
in such strong force that the purpose was
abandoned The enemy are actively engaged
in repairing the railroad and have concentrat-
ed from 10000 to $4,000 men with which
they hope to keep Lees communication, but
eventually to crush Gen. Buffers army.
The federal gupboats under Admiral Lee,
have been shelling some rebels who have been
engaged in building battery on one OF the
Bluffs of the James river, about a mile aud
half from our lines. Thus far, they have not
succeeded in their efforts to drive the rebels
from their work and it is feared that to- NOR
row they will have their guns in position.
Other correspondents expected Butler to
make an attack on Thursday. The rebel
force there is estimated at 10000 to 10000
