SKILLFUL SURGEONS IN SHERMAN's ARMY.
The surgery Of this army is reaching an ex-
traordnary high scale, as weapons reach per-
fiction. Men wounded in the head or neck
are fed for weeks through silver or rubber
tubes. The following is an instance of the
wonderful cures made by our surgeons. A
man with his throat cut from ear to ear was
thought to be mortally wounded by council
Of surgeons; but the cne under whose imme-
date care the man was, thought that as he
was to die, be would be justified in trying an
experiment for the good Of others. at the same
time having great hopes of saving the man.
lie first commenced his task by cutting through
where the two upper ribs meet the sternum,
and through this orifce for forty DAYS this
man has been fed five gallons Of milk per
week, and sometimes his appetite required
FIVE quarts per day. He is now fat and hearty,
and the surgeon thinks that in two weeks he
shall have him able, and the inside Of his
throat SO nearly healed as to allow him t.,
swallow by the natural passage. He at first
introduced a stomach-pump and thus fed bis
patient, and after few hours would clear his
stomach by the same means, thus producing
artificial digestion, until it was no longer ne
cessary. A silver tube is now used to feed
him. and such is the progress made by the
medical department. in these parts that the
half Of a mans face demolished by a ball or Il
piece OF shell is easily replaced by cork face,
and it will be nothing strange to see men in
after years walking our streets with cork heads:
and here the rebels have the advantage over

heads.

The Japanese Inland Sea Opened
From the Mexican Coast.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 10.--OfficiaI advices
from Yokohama, Oct. 18th, confirm the re-
port of the opening of the japanese inland
sea by the allied fleet, the engagement was
brief the allies losing twelve killed and
fifty-three wounded. The japanese lost
from 200 to 300 killed and wounded. The
steamer Tae King, chartered by Minister
Pruyn to accompany the fleet representing
the United States, did good execution with
her 81 pound Parrott gun. She was alter
wards sold to the japanese Government tor
$l0S,00Q. The indemnity to the Americans
is expected to reach $200.000. The COM
missioners of the allies were to meet the
Japanese officials at Kanazawa October 10Th
to adjust the amount of indemnities to the
various nations. The forts are to be dis
mantled and a portion of the fleet will re-
main to see that the Tapasin keeps his
promise. 1t is believed that the General
Government will henceforth be able to keep
the unruly mobiles in check.
Late advices from the Mexican coast rep
resent the people divided and the Empire
gaining ground. Manzallo will soon be
occupied by the French. ..

From Atlanta.

New York, Nov. 20.-An Atlanta letter
of the 10th to the Herald mentions the ar
rival of an escaped Union prisoner from
Andersonville, whe confirms the statements
of rebel atrocities toward prisoners, and
who also states that in travelling through
Georgia he found their harvests had been
gathered. Barns and warehouses were fill
ed, and there were but very few rebel SOL
diers in the interior, showing there Is plen-
ty to subsist an army upon, while
but little resistance can be offered. The
last train from Atlanta bound north was to
leave Atlanta on the 11th. The only troops
in Atlanta on the 10th were Slocum's corps.
A Chattanooga correspondent ofthe Her
aid, dating 10Th, states that he just arrived
from Atlanta. All the arsenals, foundries
and rolling stock in Atlanta had been de-
stroyed. All the factories, mills and found
cries from Chattanooga to Atlanta and sew

Atlanta is no longer of military import

18th say report placed Beauregard with a
considerable rebel force, at Corinth, and
that Forrest would join him there. The

Ninety-six paroled Federal officers ar
rived at Memphis on the 10Th, under the
escort of the rebel Commissioner of Ex-
change.
The crew of the steamer Cheesman, cap
tured OH the Tennessee river by Forrest, has
been paroled, and has arrived at Memphis.
New Orleans papers of the 18th confirm
the statement concerning the attempt of the
Captain of the gunboat Rattler to surren-
der his vessel to the rebels. He was to re-
ceive one hundred bales of cotton and $780,
600 in greenbacks, and pass through the

Late CaDtures.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Rear Admiral
Stubling has communicated to the Navy
Department the particulars of the destruc-
tion of valuable rebel fishery on Marsh
Island, north of the Okoloma river, Flori-

the Department: The English schooner
Lucy, with an assorted cargo, by the u. s.
schooner Sea Bird. The crew all escaped to

tion of one man, who was too drunk to

hia, and cleared for Matamoras. Acting
Vol. Lieut.. Schmidt, commanding the U. S.
steamer Nita, reports the capture of an I'M
known schooner on the oath of October
The crew also escaped to the shore in
small boat. Before leaving they fired the
schooner, but the flames were eXtinguished
by a boats crew from the Nita. A small
sloop, no name, was captured Oct 24th, by
the q. S. sloop Rosalie. ALI the captured
vessels are now attached to the east guilt

From Sherman and Hood,

BUFFALO, Nov. 20-Brig. Gen. Barry
Chief of Artillery of Maj. Gen. Sherman,
was here yesterday, seriously i'll from an at
tack OF erysipelas. He left Gen. Sherman,
at O'Clock in the morning of the 18th, at
Kanga, Georgia. Gen. Barry says Gen.
Sherman has every infantry, cavalry and
artillery soldier that he wants. The men
have all received eight months pay!i
Their outfit has been especially adapted
to hard winter campaign, and the moral
of the troops is unequalled. The vigor of
Sherman will carry the army triumphant
through the work it has to do.
On Monday night last Hoods entire
force, including Forests cavalry, were in
the immediate neighborhood of Tuscum-
bia and Florence, Ala, watched by body
OF troops under command of Major Gener-
al Thomas. of such strength as will render
the invasion of Tennessee an impossibility,
and even the withdrawal of Hood an oper-
alton of extreme delcacy.

Reports from Sherman.

New YORK, Nov. 19.-The Herald's Hill
ton Head correspondent, under date of the
10th, says: just as the steamer Fulton was
about to sail from that place Thursday last,
a report came down the river that Sherman
was marching on Savannah, and that the
inhabitants Of the city were fleeing in dis
may.
Gen. Corse, the Union commander of
Rome, Ga, on the 10th inst, destroyed such
bridges there as could be of use to the
enemy and abandoned the place for the
purpose of withdrawing to some more inn
portant point.
The latest rebel accounts from General
Hood say he is in position to march into
either Middle or West Tennessee, as he may
decide. They admit the rumor of the cap
ture from the Union forces of Decatur, Ala,
was hoax, stating that the attack on that
place was merely ruse to enable Hood to
get his army trains well past it.

New YORK, Nov. 10.-By the steamship

we are informed that the French hive
evacuated Matamoras, leaving the inhf BIZ

AT Brownsville, Texas on the oppl site
side of the Rio Granne from Matamoras,
there is but small rebel force, who are ap-
pretending an early attack from Union
troops. Now that their imperial friends
are withdrawn from their neighborhood.
there is nothing to prevent our officers re-
occupying Brownsville whenever they
deem proper.
The recent treasury orders declaring
New Orleans an insurrectionary district,
and prohibiting shipments of produce to
market there, have been countermanded,
and the commerce interdicted by those
orders is again permitted.
1t is now stated that Gen. Canby's wound

FAREWELL SERMON OF THE REV. MR..
RoBERTs.-The First Presbyterian Church
of this city was crowded to its utmost Ca
pacity, last evening, by a very intelligent
and deeply interested congregation, to hear
for the last time their beloved and eloquent
Pastor, Rev. WILLIAM G. ROBERTS. The
scene was solemn and impressive; and Pas
tor and People were alike affected in the
parting hour. The theme of the discourse
was "The Judgment" and it was treated
with marked eloquence, beauty, and force.
Mr.. ROBERTS description of scenes and in
cidents that will be witnessed by
the surviving Universe on that SOL
emn and awful day on which the Great
Judge will pronounce final judgment upon
the whole family of Man and the affairs Of
the entire World, was grand, touching and
sublime. The peroration of this great dis
course was devoted to hasty review of the
Pastors two years. ministry in this city.
In few pregnant and eloquent paragraphs
he glanced over the entire period; spoke Of
the agreeable and pleasant relation between
himself and the officers and members of
the Church and Congregation; commended,
in touching and well-chosen words, the ell
ders, the twenty-nine he has received on
profession of faith the twenty-eight he has
received on certificates, and then all the
members, to the Great Head of the Church; /;
and closed by invoking Gods blessing upon
all. The sermon was worthy the occasion
and the man.

SUNDAY NIGHTS DISPATCHES.
Restriction ON Commerce RemOv.
ed--Eneagement with n Block.
ade Runner--IHeavy Firing at
Dutch Gap.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-The ports of
Florida, having for some time past been in
the military possession of the United States,
it is deemed advisable that they should be
opened to domestic foreign commerce, and
therefore the President of the United States
has issued proclamation making known
that pursuant to the authority vested in
him by the act of Congress of June 18th,
1861, the blockade of those ports shall so far
cease and determine from and after the first
day of December next; that commercial in
tercourse with them, except as to persons
and things and infOrmations contraband
war, may from that time be carried on, sub
ject to the laws of the United States, to the
limitations and in pursuance Of the regula-
tions which may be prescribed by the Sec
retary of the Treasury, and to such militia
ry and naval regulations as are now in
force or may hereafter be found necessary.
A private letter from the fleet off Charles
ton says that recently the Pontiac, sighting
o blockade runner, slipped her cable and
gave chase without effect, returning subse-
quently to get her anchor. The rebels
opened fire on her, either from Fort Marshal
or Beach Inlet, to which she paid no atten-
tion until 100-inch shell struck her on the
torecastle, killing and wounding number
of men, seven of whom died on the boat.
The mail boat from City Point brings in
formation that on Thursday night heavy
firing occurred in Buffers front at Dutch
Gap, caused by the rebels attempting to
force our picket lines. They were COM
pletely repulsed.
