Movements of sherman.

New YORK, March 5.-2A special to the
Tribune, dated Washington, March 4th,
says: A dispatch dated Memphis, March
1st received this evening, gives seme new
and interesting details Of Sherman's move
ments. The dispatch says, after having
reached Meridian, Sherman sent out scouts,
to feel the ground and ascertain whether
Logan, who had started from Florence to
meet him, and Smith and Grierson, on
whose cavalry he relied to prosecute his
march on Selma, were advancing. Three
days elapsed before he received any answer,
but as his army had but limited rations, he,
by a rapid movement which disconnected
the rebels, suddenly turned toward Aber-
deen and Columbus, in the richest part of
eastern Mississippi, where his army was
sure to. find abundance of provisions. BY
this movement he turned his back on Sell
ma and Mobile, marched toward Logan,
who has already advanced to meet him, and
by an audacious stroke of strategy placed
himself at distance of about one hundred
miles from Johnston's flank, now menaced
by his advance. The dispatch says that the
rumor spread concerning the attack upon
Mobile and Selma by Sherman, was simply
meant to divert public attention from the
real object of the expedition, which aimed
at an invasion of Georgia somewhere be-
tween Trenton and Lafayette N Fs

POLICE CoURT.-A rural gentleman with
face which has often edited a country
class-meeting with its piety and respecta-
bility, turned up among the victims at
Mayor Thomas court yesterday morning.
He came to town for the loyal purpose of
buying a few recruits to fill the quota of
his township, and was wandering about in
search of soldiers when he fell into the
snare of scarlet woman named Mary
Fihgibbon. The twain were picked up
from the street by policeman Ewing in
maudlin state of intoxication, and commit
ted. The respectable rural gentleman paid
his fine of five dollars and departed, while
Mary, the partner of his nights dissipation,
was sent bowling to the station house in
default of the wherewithal to pay her fine.
A very small specimen of contraband
named Sam Paine was arrested night before
last for relieving an intoxicated soldier of
his watch. Sam was once portion of the
inheritance of Joe Davis, brother to JEFF,
upon whose plantation he learned the science
of stealing, and was quite put out when he
discovered that in the free North nigger
\ was put In the calaboose for doing an net of
sheer beneyolence. Sam is disgusted with
the North and its institutions, including the
proclamation of freedom. He says he is
willing to take couple of dozen lashes and
say no more about the watch, provided the
Police leave him out of prison, to which he
has been doomed to await a further exami-
nation.
Last evening Sam was attacked with Sc
we're convulsive fits in rapid succession
Several colored residents of the city were
applied to, and requested to take the suffer-
ing contraband to their dwellings and take
care OF him, but they unanimously de-
clined. A physician was called, who con-
sidered his case critical one.
A spare looking young gentleman ap-
peared before the Mayor charged with at
tempting to break into room in the Buck
eye Hotel. He was retained for further ex-
animation.

From Gen. KiInnfricIk.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The President
has received from Gen. Butler, dispatch
from Fitzpatrick, dated Yorktown, March 4,
saying Col. Dahlgreen was directed to make
a diversion with five hundred men on James
river. He attacked the enemy Tuesday
afternoon and drove them i'm on Richmond.
The main attack having failed, Dahlgren
attempted to join me at Meadow Bridges.
He and Col. Cook were with, the advance
guard, which became separated from his
main force. Since then nothing has been
heard from them. | have still hopes they
may yet come in. The main force reached
me with slight loss.
Gen. Butler adds that rebel deserter in
formed one of his aids that one legged
Colonel, and about one hundred men were
taken prisoners. 81 III

NEW YoRK, March ga special to the
Times, dated Washington, March A, saws:
Gen. Meade has been summoned here by
the President to answer the charges pre-
ferred against him by Generals Sickles and
Doubleday before the committee OIL the
Conduct of the War. The matter is assum-
ing rather serious aspect.
Secretary Chase in communication to
the committee, says that in order to bring
the revenue up to the amount estimated in
his report, it will be absolutely necessary
to largely increase the tax on the several ar
ticles specified, He recommends tax of
one dollar per gallon on spirits; OIL leaf and
manufactured tobacco, fifty cents perpound;
on petroleum, crude, fifteen cents; refined,
twenty-five centa.
The Worlds Washington dispatch saws it
is understood that Gen. Halleck will retain
his present position and Grant remain in
the field.
A special to the Commercial Advertiser
dated Washington March 9th says: 1t is
known here that Gen. Sherman was not
back at Vicksburg in time to start on new
expedition on the Nth, as it was contem-
plated he should. He will, however, soon
be heard from again in active operation.
1t is believed here in military circles that
Admiral Farragut intended to accomplish
nothing more at Mobile than to make q
demonstration to draw the attention of the
rebels from other points of operations.
There are stories afloat to the effect that
the testimony of Gen. Sickles as to the bat
tie of Gettysburg, will make it necessary for
Gen. Meade to resign. the command of the
Army Of the Potomac. In that case either
Gen. Hooker or Smith will be his successor.
Gen. Grant, it is said, has recommended

Mr.. Boyd, of Mo, made speech in reply

would spare the radicals.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoroMAc
March, 4.-Deserters and contrabands have
been coming In quite freely of late, until
Tuesday night last, when the rise in the
Rapidan put check to the emigration.
Gen. Meade and q part of his personal
staff went to Washington to-day.
Guerrillas continue their deviltries along
the railroad.
WASHINGTON, March Sit is assigned as
a reason for the unexpected alertness of the
rebels in preparing to repel Gen. Fitzpatrick,
that the destruction of the telegraph and
trackof the Virginia Central railroad, was
announced In Richmond by Gen. Lee inn
mediately after the occurrence, over the
telegraph lines between Richmond, Lynch
burg and Gordonsyille. This seems highly
probable from the fact that the expedition
passed through Lees pickets and beyond
his rear without q skirmish, and was met at
some distance from Richmond by formid-
able force of mounted infantry.
The Republican this evening says: We
are authorized to announce that the Gov
ernment has received a dispatch from Gen.
Butler, announcing that Fitzpatrick succeed
ed In cutting the railroad and telegraph
communications of Gen. Lee with Rich
mond, by tearing up the railroad on the
Virginia Central at various points, and de-
stroying the canal and mills on James river.
He burned much other property belonging
to the rebels, inflicting severe blow on the
rebellion. He was met by the enemy out
side the defences at Richmond, but succeed
ed in forcing him inside the outer works,
where spirited engagement ensued, when
darkness came on and the conflict ended
Kilpatick finding the enemy and the works
and accomplish the object of the expedition,
Withdrew and reached the lines Of General
Butler with the loss of about one hundred
and fifty men. 4.
