The rebel authorities refuse to release civil

they are not subjects of exchange, and as citiz-

ARRIVAL OF THE SrH MAINE REGIMENT.
About $50 re-enlisted men of the Sth Maine,
arrived in the evening train from Boston, last
evening on their way home. This regiment
was mustered into service in September, 1861
and after remaining a short time with the Ar
my of the Potomac was transferred to the De-
partment of the South, where it has since re-
manned. Nearly three fourths of the men
have re-enlisted and returned on their fur
Tough, the remainder being under command
OF Capt. Macarthur. The regiment left Beau
fort, 5. c., last Friday, on the steamer Arago,
arriving in New York Monday. The officers are
as fellows:-Colonel, John d. Rust; Major
IL. Boynton; Adjutant, Z. II. Reynolds; Quar-
termaster, S. Sidelinger; Captains, W. F. Lane,
c. b. Knapp, Alonzo d. Millett, A. C. Willis /;
First Lieutenants, Joseph Small, E. G. Cup
ton, S. Gould, J. L. Taylor; Second Lieuten-
ants, John Stephens, H. Watts.

STEAMER BoHE,nAN GOING TO PIECES

| STEAMER BOHEMIAN GOING TO PIECES
| GooDs OF ALL KINDS SCATTERED IN EVE
RY DIREcTIoN.-The steamer Bohemian has
unquestionably fallen apart and all hope of
saving the vessel is past; large proportion
OF The cargo is destroyed. The company en-
gagged to raise her, we learn, have gone back
to New York and no further attempts will be
made except to operate with diving bells in
raising what does not go adrift. 1t is said all
the lighter class freight, including packages of
valuable silks, broadcloths, ribbons, and gen.
eral dry goods, will be found all the way from
Cape Elizabeth TO Cape Cod. The fishermen
along shore will pick up much that is valua-
bic and as they generally have the reputation
OF being honest, it is hoped the salvage will
satisfy them.
A large force went down to the neighbor-
hood of the wreck last evening for the pur-
pose OF guarding what might come ashore.
Capt. Webster, with the crew of the U. S. cut
ter Dobbin, are doing good service in prevent
ing those disposed from plundering. We
learn that c. f. Hovey, of Boston, had about
$4,000 worth of dry goods on board the b.
hemian.
Five more bodies came ashore yesterday,
but were not in a condition to be recognized
This swells the number found to 80. 1t will
be several weeks before all the freight can be
got out, as much of it will sink and must be
raised piece at time. Those who find goods
belonging to the Bohemian, will bear in mind
the penalties attached to retaining them in
their possession.

From Tennessee.

KNOXVILLE, TENN, March 6.
The county elections yesterday passed off
quietly. The whole number of votes cast in
Knoxville was POI, against an average vote in
peace times of 700, making allowance for
absentees i'll the army and elsewhere The
vote is larger than was anticipated in the
country districts.
vote of 100 was polled in a neighboring
district and Sewer county against usual vote
of ITO.
There is nothing new in army affairs, except
the capture at Chilhawel Mountain OF sixty
rebels by the 4th Indiana cavalry.
brigade of rebel cavalry dashed into our
lines to day at MISSY Creek, but were hand
somely repulsed. We took several prisoners.

Reported Movements of Gen. Sherman.

NEW YORK, March s.
The following is from the Nashville Union
OF Saturday: Reliable information from Gen
Sherman up to the I'd, is of a highly satisfac-
tory character. 1t is brought by a gentleman
who left Montgomery on that day and arrived
in this city last night. After occupying Meri-
dian, part of our force were sent as far
South as Quitman, but it returned again to
the main body as soon as it accomplished its
object, which was to destroy portion of the
railroad and create CONSERVATION at Mobile
and cause concentration of the rebel forces
there, to have them out of the way of our pro-
gress eastward. Having concentrated his
army again, Gen. Sherman proceeded in the
direction of Demopolis, on the Tombigbee
river, which place it reached and occupied on
the 22d, that portion of Folks forces which
held the town, retiring on his approach at
distance from the railroads. Gen Sherman
finds plenty of corn and potatoes to subsist
both animals and men, but where these arti-
Giles could be carried off by the rebels, the
country is stripped. The lack of wagons and
the bad condition of the railroad track, how
ever, has protected farmers thus far, and our
troops are subsisting on the fat of the land.
No stealing is allowed and no foraging save
by authorized parties, who issue certificates of
Indebtedness, payable when parties prove
their loyalty. After occupying Demopolis,
Gen Sherman Immediately proceeded on his
eastern march in the direction of Selma.

whereupon the diners all rose to their feet and
