THE FIGHTING At THE SOUTH

THE FTGHTXNG At THE SOUTH
The Charleston and Georgia papers
give us some a ounts of the fighting
going on wit herman and the forces
which are trying to co operate with him.
The Mercury of Friday says:
1t is certain that Sherman's advance
yesterday had encountered our forces,
under General Hardee, at or near Station
No. i 2, on the Central railroad, about
twenty miles from Savannah. Severe
figh1g vas going on yesterday forenoon
but we have no trustworthy intelligence
whatever in regard to theresult. Various
rumors concerning the engagement
some favorable and some otherwise-were
atioat yesterday; but as we are satisfied
that they were merely sensation stories,
we refrain from repeating them, and await
more authentic accounts
From the line of the Savannah railroad
we have news of more definite charac
ter. On Tuesday, it seems, the enemy
advanced to point about one mile from
the railroad, and about five miles from
IoNOs"iSo- hSiC thcy were met Dy our
forces and speedily, driven back, with
some loss. The movement is believed
to have been reconnaissance merely:
for, during Tuesday night, the enemy re-
tired to their entertainments, and could
not be seen next morning.
AT an early hour on Wednesday morn
ing, force, consisting of the Citadel
Cadets, Captain Thomson, and the Forty
seventh Georgia, the whole commanded
by Major j. b. White, of the Cadets,
were ordered to advance and reconnoitre
the enemy's position. This they did in
gallant style. The Cadets deployed as
skirmishers, and the enemy, surprised,
at the yigor and boldness of
the attack, retired some distance before
our advancing line. Soon, however, the
Yankees were heavily reinforced, and,
the numbers that were op-
posed to them, turned upon our men.
who, in turn, were themselves obliged to
retire TO their works near the railroad.
They were pursued till dark to within

PRISONERS -Four hundred and seventy
prisoners, captured by General Rosser in
the Valley, passed through Charlottes-
vile for Richmond on Tuesday night last.
Eight hundred were captured, but, owing
to some inattention on the part of the
guards, upwards Of three hundred ma
naged to make their escape while passing
through a mountain gap. Among the
prisoners was a negro man belonging to
one of the citizens of Charlottesville. He
was very anxious to give up his asso-
clates and return to the service of his
owner. Mr.. j. G. Patterson gave re
ceipt to the officer in command for the
negro, who Immediately jumped from the
cars and seemed happy to find himself
taken possession of by the town consta-

THE WAR NEWS.

Since the failure of Warren's expedi-
tion against Weldon, and his retuf, dis
comfited, to Grants lines, quiet has pre-
vailed in the Army Of the Potomac The
serious character Of this failure, and the
great disappointment it has caused Grant,
can onlyb fully appreciated when we
consider the magnitude of the prepara-
tons he made for it. His plan, as we
have before stated, was to break up the
Petersburg and Weldon railroad and take
and hold Weldon, thereby permanently
severing our communication with the
South by this route, threatening Ra-
leigh and the heart of North Carolina,
and menacing Wilmington in the rear.
TO succeed in so extensive campaign,
it required a heavy column-h fact, a
good sized army. And that his main
army, confronting General Lee, might not,
by detaching such force, be too much
weakened for it's safety, it became neces
sary, as troops were to be had from no
other quarter, to call down the Sixth and
Eighth corps from the Valley. The Val
ley troops were marched to Washington,
shipped to City Point, and thence dis
posed in the Army of the Potomac
These expensive movements having been
accomplished, Warren was started on his
errand with the numbers and
all the perfect equipments considered ne
cessary to ensure success. We know
the result In the very outset of his
he was beaten at Bellfeld
by some cavalry and reserves, and fed
back to Grants army with more speed
than he. came out, and without having
accomplished anything more than tear
ing up and throwing about few miles of
railroad track
In their forced marches back to the
protection of Grants army, his troops,
who, according to the Yankee papers,
started out in light marching TRIM"
must have suffered terribly from cold
and hard marching through snow and
mud.
So ends for the present the Weldon |
Grant will soon be Matching
another expedition, or perhaps attempt
ng renewal of this one but it is pro-
itless to speculate upon his future
olans; sufficient unto the day is the evil
hereof ---
From the following dispatch, received
yesterday, it will be seen that the Yam
zee forces in North Carolina were pre-
'a:ed to cooperate with Warren's CO.

THO STNNTLAR FACTS

First. That Richmond newspaper,
two of whose proprietors hold commits
sions from the President, should lose no
opportunity to decry his patriotism apd
underrate his abilities.
Second. That the chief editor of said
paper, an assistant clerk in the Confede-
rate House of Representatives, should
denounce and ridicule the Committee on
Military Affairs in that House for report
ing a bill which will prevent that, or any
other paper, from becoming refuge for
original secessionists from military duty
These are curious facts. But there re-
mains fact still more curious 1t is,
that the paper in question should affect
to consider the liberty of the press to be
in danger. QNA CORNER.

offensive movement in this section pend
