General sherman Possibly At AnOeF-
The letter We publish this morning from
Atlanta shows that themovement of Sher-
man south from Atlanta began on the 9Th
of November. The Richmond papers an
nounce on the 10th that startling news
has been received, probably that announc-
ing shermsn's approach toward Macon.
Macon is about one hundred miles little
southeast of Atlanta. Andersonville,
where $4,000 Of our Union soldiers are
confined, is on railroad running south
from Macon to Fort Gaines, on the Chat
tahoochee river. 1t is about fifty miles
from Macon Sherman probably frat
seized the railroad at Macon, and by this
time may have reached Andersonville.
If the rebels should attempt the removal
Of the Union prisoners farther south, they
would be obliged TO move them toward
Mobile or Montgomery. If these prison
ers are secured, many of them may be f.
for field service, others can be sent back to
Atlanta. We watch with almost breath
less interest the results of this astonishing
movement II successful, it will place
Sherman at the head of the military chief

Ebe Question or Armiug the Slaves IS
Debated in the Rebei Congress.

Debated tn the Rebei Congress-
On Thursday, November 10th, the rebel
Congress had up a series of resolutions on
the question of srming the Slaves Mr..
Chambers, of Mississippi, seemed to have
been the most prominent tslker on the pc.
esssion and expressed himself as greatly
opposed TO the scheme. As no one Is
poused the opposite cause we infer that the
rebel Congress is not yet ready to engage
in the new enterprise. Chambers objee-
tions were various He deemed the arm
ing Of Slaves unwise, in the first place, be-
cause ahe had an abiding confidence in the
citizen soldiery of the rebellion" That
is, Chambers thinks apoor white trash
cheaper food for bullets than his able
bodied darkies, worth on an average $1,000
in Confederate money. The whole ques-
ton with him was whether the rebels we're
exhausted. When once the white popula
tion was used up he was ready to muster
III the negro. He said: a.. ..-
The question had been raised at the
end of q campaign the most succsssfult hat
had ever been Vouehsafed to the Confade-
rate arms. If our army was prostrated
and our people threatened with subjuga-
tion-but not until then-he could under
stand how such q proposition could be
made. But why is the country sgitated
by 1t now, the military HORIZON is bright
and encouraging TO US ,"
In:proof Of the Sbright horizon Cham
ber's then read from Davis rose-colored
message, as proof that the Confederacy
is not yet on its last legs. Chambers Is
very confident that the relel army can yet
be largely REINFORCED with white men
He says there are 250OOo at home sub loci
to military duty and he wanted then
brought out first.
Another objection in Mr.. Chambers
mind Is that the yankees" could offer tn,
slaves better inducements than Davi
could offer them. If Davis offered fee
dom, the Yankees would offer freedom ant
property. Then again says Chambers
allow did gentlemen propose to Agh
negro troops? he hoped they did not pro
pose TO -cOmmingle them with our bray,
white soldiers. How would they fgh

not by any corps, but by companies. Plac

But not only does Chambers feel tbs

thinks the slaves won't fight, and then en-
deavors to prove his proposition by goini

The Mails ON the sIahOning Road

AAS AAtaAAN OA INC nAAuOnlhE E-Osel-
The removal of the mail train in the
morning from the Mshoning road, has
been very unpleasant and embarrassing TO
the people living along the route and de-
pendent upon it for mail and travelling
facilities. This is especially true of such
places as Warren snd youngstown.
The people have SO long been accustomed
to two wsy-trains a dsy, and their nnmer-
Gus business interests are such that they
submit to the new arrangement with but
little ealmness. Numerous have been the
petitions to have the old arrangement re-
suned. The msil routes connecting st va
rious points upon the road are much de-
ranged, and general dissatisfaction exists.
We have reason to believe that the Di-
rectors and President Of the Atlantic and
Great Western road are anxious to reme-
dy the difficulty, and will either have the
old train put on sgain, or viii mako some
other arrangement by which the mails
Ehsn be forwarded IN the morning from

me movements Of the Rebel General
Hood.


A Nashville dispatch, dated November
18th, to the Cincinnati Gazette, says Hoods
army is still in the vicinity of Florence
One corps is north of the river, the re-
mAinder being on the south side. The
rebels have pontoon bridge across the
river. The whole army is estimated ct
10000, made up IS follows: Lees corps,
seven thousand; Chestham's corps, five
thousand; Stewards corps, seven thousand:
Dick Taylor's corps six thousand, and FIVE
thousand cavalry. Hood has also seventy
pieces Of artillery.
The dispatch says further: Our cavsl-
r-GeHeral Cro1ton's especially-hss
skirmishing every day with the enemyz
cavalry, mostly. in the neighborhoOd Of
shoal Greek. The roads throughout that
region of country are in a bad condition,
on account of the recent rains; and wholly
unsuited to military operations. This
may for some time prevent anything very
serious from taking place in this quarter.
Besides, it is still question as to whether
the rebel demon nstrAtion at Florence, ike
that at Johnsonville, is not mere feint
movement and whether Hood and Beau
regard do not design establishing them
selves, if they can, at some point on the
Mississippi river"

on the soldiers in the field, as well as their
friends at home, by giving publicity to the
following:

Rosa Bonheur and her Pictares.

Many of you have probably seen an en-
craving of the picture called "Tbe Horse
Fair painted by French lady, Rosa Bon
Eeur. Her history is interesting. as show
ing what industry and plucky determina-
ton will do. Her father was poor draw
ing master in Paris, and apprentced Rosa
at the age of twelve to learn dress making;
but her health failed and she left business
she did not like. She soon commenced to
make models of animals, and copy her faith
er's paintings. hoping some day to be able
to support herself. She worked hard day
after day, until her father noticed her won
derful progress, and gave her course of in
stuction. He then sent her to Louvre, the
finest picture galleryi in Paris, to copy from
the BEST paintings. Here she work from
morning until night. Soon her pictures be-
gan to sell for small sum, which increas-
ed her diligence. She was then but sixteen
years old. Having resolved to devote her
self to painting animals, and being 100 poor
to buy models, she used to take a bit of
bread in her pocket, walk out into the coun-
try, and copy from nature. She would also
visit the cattle pens in the city where AMI
mails were kept previous to being slaughter
ed. This was not pleasant place for a
young lady, but she was too much in ear
nest to be stopped by trifes. Her reward
soon Game. When nineteen years old, she
received several prizes for pictures exhibi-
ted in Paris, snd at last took the golden
medal for the best painting. At thirty-tw
she finished the ''Horse Fair which
brought her $4,000 and from that time her
fortune was made. She is now wealthy,

STRENGTH OF OUR GovENRmENT.


John Bright closed his recent speech at
ROchdale. England, with the following noble
tribute.

instructed people. Look at its power.
am not now discussing why it is, or the
cause which is developing this power; but
power IS the thing which men regard in
these old countries, and which they ascribe
mainly to European institutions. But look
at the powerw hich the United States have
developed !sssHhey have brought more men
into the field, they have built more ships
for their navy, they have shown greater re-
sources than any nation in Europe at this
moment is capable of. Look al the order
which has prevailed at their elections, al
which you see by the papers, 50, 600, or
LOO, O00,or $50, 600 persons voting in Civ
en- Stste, with less disorder than you have
seen lately in three OF the smallest Dor
oughs in ngland-Barnstable Winsor and
Andoger. Look at their industry. Not
withstanding this terrific struggle, their ag-
Iiculture, their manufactures and commerce
proceed with an uninterrupted success.
They are ruled by a President chosen, it is
true. not from some worno out royal or no
bic blood, but from the people, and the one
whose truthfulness and spolless honor have
claimed him universal praise. And now
the country who has been Yili6ed through
half the organs of the press in England
during the last three years, and was pointed
out, too, as an example to be Stunned by
many of your statesmen, that country now
in mortal strife, affords haven and home
for multitudes flying from the burdens and
the neglect of the old governments of Eu

a thing worth Considering.

A close disceruer in agricultural matters
says
"Itis not in the production Of grain. bot
in the production of beef, pork, mutton and
wool that the West has the advantage of US.
l know this IS contrary to the generally
received opinion, but as long as the AT
lantic cities continue to be the great mar
kets of the country, so long will It be
cheaper to send beef, pork, mutton and
wool to these markets than wheat aud corn,
for the simple reason that the freight on a
hundred dollars worth of these articles is
much less than on hundred dollars worth
of wheat or corn. 1t costs the Western far
mer much less TO send FIVE pounds of pork
10 New York than to send the sixty pounds
of corn from which this pork is produced.
And SO It Is in regard to beef and mutton,
and wool. We shall Re obliged to submit
to a much keener competition 10 the pro-
duetion OF these articles than in the produe-
ton of wheat, corn, oats, barley and other
bulky articles on which the freight amounts
to Eve or six times as much as the farmers
there receive for them
