The rebels seem to be in as much doubt
about the direction of Sherman az the peo-
ple North. One report is that he is Ger
tainly going 10 Mobile, because large
feet of transports was at Pensacola. An
other Is that he Is pressing toward Millen,
me point of junction of the railroads run
ming from Macon and Augusta to SsYan-
nah That he is making progress in some
direction, much to the discomfort Of rebels,
is evident from the fact that they refuse
to exchagne newspapers.

Early's retreat up the Shenandoah may
either be in order to go into winter quar-
ters, or to enable Lee to detach him to go
South to operate against Sherman. Ii
that case new combinations will take place
and we may soon hear of another attempt
on Lynchburg. Sheridan is after Early

sHERMAES GRAND MOVEMENT.
TuterestinE Facts Bearing ON the Ny
IeriOus Georgia Campaign,

Interesting Facts Bearing ON the myS-
IeriOus Georgia Campaign,
In connection with the vast amount OF
conjecture now INDUCED in touching Sher-
man, the following statistics and facts will
be of interest and value:
THE GRAND SOUTHERN RAILROAD CHAIN.
When Chattanooga was lost to the rebels
they slse lost the lines of railroad commu-
nicstion which stretched across the con
federacy from Memphis to Charleston, an
from Chattanooga to Virginia. When
they lost Atlanta they also lost an import
ant kew which controlled short line OF
communication extending through central
Georgia. Now the main railroad chain
which the ereDels possess extends from Meri-
dian, on the Mississippi Central, through
Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, Colum-
bus, Macon, and Augusta, Georgia, Colum-
bia, South Carolina, and the principle rail-
road cities of North Carolins. The most
direct point at which this road can be cut
is at Macon. Georgia, which Is distant one
hundred and four miles from Atlanta,
Montgomery, Alabama is one hundred
| and seventy five miles from Atlanta, but
the sending of s corps or division IN that
direction, as is intimRted in the Richmond
papers, may be for the purpose of cutting
the road at that point and retsrdlng the
movements of Hood or Beauregard, when
they shall seek to oppose the grand move
| ment of General Sherman. Before tins
column could strike Montgomery, tht
main body of the army-assumlng that i
has moved in that dIrection-couldr reach
Macon, providing that the average speed
If twelve miles per day over an ordinary
country road is taken as the basis. Will
Montgomery and Mscon ii his possession
| General Sherman would be enabled to s.
efFeetually destroy the grand railroad chan
as to prevent the movement Ct the reoe
forces under Hood from preventing Rl
march eastward, even TO Augusta befor
they could pursue him
TEE COURSE OF GENERAL sEERAAN'
Its not reasonable to suppose that Gen
Sherman would, after leaving Atlanta
move directly eastward to Augusta, owe
the Georgia railway, leSvingI on MI
march. so formidable an avenue OF com
munication as the grand southern trunl
above described. Should he do so, h
would have distance Of III miles to trsv
erse. while from Macon to Millen, whlcl
is tho junction of the Augusta branch, l
but I09 miles, and from thence to Angus
ia is 50 miles, making total of 1852 miles
The distance on the Atlanta and Wes
Point and Montgomery roads, are as 70
! lor5u.

HOW LONG sHERMAN's MOVEMENTS WILL
OCCUPY,
OCCUPY.

Estimating that the army will march
twelve miles per day-which is fair av-
erage-it will require nine days from the
time of leaving Atlanta to reach Macon !
fourteen to reach Montgomery unless he
has railroad communications 10 aid upon
the latter route; and fifteen days to resGh
Savannah from Macon, making twenty
four days, exclusive Of extraordinary de-
tentions, between Atlanta and Savannah,
or Augusta.
HOW HE WILL sUBsIsF HIS ARMY.
He is provided with sixty days rations,
but there is abundant evidence that the
country through which he is moving is
plentifully supplied with provisions fol
his troops and forage for his cavalry. The
pathway is one over which neither army
has moved to any extent, and is a very
productive territory. He will, therefore,
have no lack of food with which to subsist
his men.

Colonel Clayton on the 9th of
March with a small force of infantry
and cavalry, and one battery, went to
Mount Elbs, on Salem River. Leaving
the infantry and artillery there to guard
the bridge and cover Pine Bluff, he pro-
ceeded with the cavalry, towards Long
View, further down the Salem River,
and twenty miles Southwest of where
the main body of the Rebel army were
stationed.
For the purpose of destroying the
pontoon bridges and army stores at that
place Lieut.. Greenhouse, of the First
Indiana, and Lieutenant Young, of the
Fifth Kansas Cavalry were sent in advan-
ce with one hundread men, and arriving
at the bridge saw large force of Rebels
on the other side preparing to cross.
Our officers hailed the enemy and told
them they belonged to Sholby's command
who wear the Federal uniform, and that
the Federals were upon them and begged
them to hurry to their rescue.
The Rebels rushed toward and as
fast as they crossed were captured and
their guns thrown into the river. In
this manner 26O were captured, 30 wag-
ons laden with supplies which were des-
troyed, 800 horses and mules, and a
paylnaster's safe containing 5000 in
Confederate money. After which the
bridge was burned.
This and a march of eighy miles,
was accomplished in twenty-lour hours.
The prisoners captured during the expe-
dition, numbering three hundred and
seventy, including many officers, reached
Little Rock on the I'd. There is nothing
from General Steelc's command.

- \ number Of complaints, have
reached US from ubscribcrs, of not re-
cciving their lphjgs in proper time last
week. We notified them of the proba-
biltty of such an event occurring, as the
route agent, who Doesn't seem to care
whether he delivers the mail a. the prop
er stations or not, would be on the train
which carried out the Saturday morn
ing's mail from Elkton. 1t was Import
ant that TIE Hh,gs Of last week should
leach subscribers in proper time, as it
was our last issue before q very import
mt election, and also before court. If
the Government wilt keep mail agents
in its employ, who don't care whether
tho mails are delivered or not, We wish
it would consult its cwn IN crest SO far,
at least, by putting them on the routs
Where and t9hsa it is less important that
the mails should be promptly delivered.
We have two nuisances which should
be abated in our mail system. One is
ram drinking, and the other neglccting
to deliver the nails and nulsnnces like
all o:her birds Of Z feather, very often
flock together.

- a correspondent sends us the
following bit of sensible reasoning. If
his chirography was as plain as his reas-
oning, much trouble would have been
spared us in reading his communication.
Correspondents should use ink and write
plainly, when they write for the press.
Many a communication is laid aside on
account of its shocking bad pcnmanship.
Though printers can read any thing
short of Egyptian hieroglyphics, they
don't like to encourage slovenliness, for
that is the cause of all struggling, half
formed and half deformed letters
Mr.. EDITOR The supposed value
Of the slaves Of Maryland, is, according
to the highest estimate ,ahout S30,000,-
900 F.; the va!le of real estate is more
than double that sum. Senator Bayard,
Of Delaware, said that the removal of
slavery from his State, would quadruple
the value of their lands. Suppose it be
admitted that the same proceeding would
do as much for Maryland. Then, ac-
cording TO Mr.. Bayard's statement,
Emancipation would add to the wealth
of this State not less than seven times
the value of the slaves.
But our reasoning on this state Of
facts should not stop here. If the re-
movGl Of slavery would add so largely
to the wealth Of the land holders, las
Mr.. Bayard says it would in Delaware, J
then the Shareholders have, for long
course Of years, been depriving tho land
holders Of the entire amount Of the dif-
ference between the present value OF
their lands, and tina: which those lands
would now possess, if the Peculiar
Institution " nau not czlsrcu; This is
all immense sum. Of which slavery may
be said to have robbed the State, -muc!l
more than the present value Of al the
slaves within her borders. If real es-
tate holders were to charge slavery with
all that the former interest has lots by
the latter, it would be found to amount
to much more than the (not present but
former and enhanccd) value Of all the
slaves.
If this is so, then all claim for com
pcnsation " on the part of the slavehol-
ders Is unwarrantab,e. O4her species
of property have lost far more by the
past er'stence of slavery, than the slave
owners will lose by lis removal.

stock Of the EIktOn Gas-Light
COMPANY.

| Books for the sale of 600 shares of the
preferred stock of this Company have been
open for some time in Elkton, but our
citizens seem to overlook the importance of
having the stock taken by those who are
most vitality concerned in having the con-
troll of the corporation, viz: themselves
This stock can be readily sold in the cities,
but it is the desire Of the Company to have
the stock taken by our own citizens, and the
most obvious and commonsense view of the
case is, that our citizens should desire to
have the control Of the works in order to
secure their interests against imposition
from foreign or outside parties.
The stock is a perfectly secure invest
ment. Preferred stock to the amount OF
$4,000, at $50 per share, is offered for
sale, by the Company, and the books will
be kept open at the Bank, in Llkton, and
Mr.. Torberts office, for one more week, to
give our citizens an opportunity to sub
scribe. After that time the stock, if not
disposed Of at home, will be sold to capt.
alists in the cities.
The 500 shares of preferred stock, which
is thrown on the market, is guaranteed to
pay per cent. from the beginning, by deed
OF trust on the entire property of the Com.
pany IN the hands of Dr.. Mitchell, Hiram
Mccullough, and II. r. Torbert, Esqs.--
Gas stock is one of the most profitable stocks
in the count!y,and usually pays dividends of
i to 70 per cent. At the present time the
LlAton Gas Company pays handsome pro.
ut on the investment. The consumption of
gas, IN thriving town like Elkton, is con.
stant'y on the increase, and with the add.
tonal expense of coal only, the Elkton
works will manufacture three times the
amount OF gas now consumed, which is about
5000 feet per night. One ton of coal will
make 1000 cubic feet of gas, hence, the ex.
pense OF an increased production of gas
would be very trifing.
The present golden opportunity should
not be let pass by our citizens, TO make an
investment which would not only pay them
US surely as two and two are four, per
cent. on their money at present, but which
offers Inducements that are almost certain
of nm increased dividend as the town in.
creaseS In population, of greatly advanced
rate Of interest.
Another, and quite as strong induccment
to property holders of the town, is to have
the control Of those works, thus securing
their interests from outside imposition. We
hope our meu Of capital will rot let the
coming week pass away without subscribing
for the whole amount of preferred stock of
this Company, aud thus securing an invest.
ment that will pay them 6 per cent. from
the start as well as the control Of great
enterprise Of vital interest to this commu.
nifty.

Emancipation Victory!


county, as well as in the entire State,
on Wednesday last, published to the
world that the people are determined to
: east off the yoke Of slavery which has
so long been bound on their necks by
the $4,000 shareholders of Maryland.
1t was hard for large number of The
Sympath,sers to have their right to vote
questioned, and their votes refused
But they, if they are wise men, will
readily perceive that it is much more
humane for their neighbors to prevent
them from doing wrong in assisting the
rebels to make trouble in this State by
their misguided votes, than to suffer
crimes to be perpetrated against the
Goyornmcntithrou the ballot boz (which
would most surely bring oondlgn punish
ment upon them with bayonet and ball.
The bill calling an Election to form a
new Constitution for tho State, authors
zed the Judges Of Election to prevent
disloyal persons from voting at that
election. In order to ascertain that fact,
challenged voters had certain questions
propounded to them by the Judges,
among which was the following:
" When the Union and rebel armies
meet in battle, which do you wish to
gain the victory 2"
Now this was complete choker to
the sympathiscrs, although apparently
so simple.
1t was amusing to see the shifts some
men made to get round this question.
Some didn't care which gained the
victory, others wished which ever vas
the strongest to win, while others, more
honest, walked doggedly away from the
polls without answering.
No man who is Indifferent to Tie ez-
istence of bis Government, or who wish
os its overthrow by rebel hands, has any
right whatever to enjoy the elective fran
chise at this time. And any man who
refuses to answer that question promptly
in favor Of tie Union armies, really
wishes success and victory to the rebels,
let him pretend to deny the fact as
plausibly as he may.
Our ancestors passed laws disfran-
chizing the tories Of the Revolution,
and their sons mean to pass laws dis
franchising the tories or rebel adcrs
and abettors Of the present day. The
old Revolutionary tories had some plea
for opposing the Republic then. The
divine right Of kings was, at that time,
scarcely questioned, Republics were
considered Utopian and had almost been
banished from tho world. But what
plea can the opposers Of the United
States Government have for not wish
ing her armies to put down tho rebel
lion, or In plain English wishing for tho
rebel armies to succeed
The rebellion is an outrage TO the
civilization and intelligence Of tbs nine
tcenth century an attempt to overturn
popular Government and erect on lis
ruins Government Of classes, or in
ether words, an arlsiocracy, and the
American who has not the love Of lib
crty strong enough in his breast to
wish the humiliation Of such a giant iui-
putty has degenerated too much in pa
triotism to exercise the political priv.
leges that every true American is so
justly proud Of.
