Sherman's Movements.

A special to the Tribune says:
A despatch dated Memphis, March lst,
gives some new and interesting details OF
Sherman's movements. 1t says:
After having reached Meridian, Sherman
sent out scouts to feel the ground and as
certain whether Logan, who had strrted
from Florence to meet him, aud Smith and
Grierson, on whose cavalry he relied to
prosecute his march on Selma were advanc-
ing. Three days passed before be received
any answer, but as his army had but limit
ed rations, he, by rapid movement which
disconnected the rebels, suddenly turned
toward Aberdeen and Columbus in the
richest part of Eastern Mississippi where
his army was sure to find abundance of pro-
visions. By this movement he turned his
back on Selma and Moqile and marched to-
ward Logan who had already advanced to
meet him, and by an audacious stroke OF
strategy, placed himself at a distance of
100 miles from Johnston's flank, now me-
naced by his advance.

ton with John Bright the other day, who
holds the most unalterable faith in she
near approach of the end of the rebel
lion. He is also very warm in his de-
sire for Mr. Lincoln e-election-thinks
it would produce grand effect in Eng

pIrpose Of the American people, and
quoted the words of distinguished

He does not care much for the criticisms

mits that a change of Cabinet should be

morofrRebeIR Raid

BALTIMORE, March 6.-There are ex-
citing rumors on the streets Of an extern
sive raid on the Chesapeake, and that
the steamer Louisiana, of the Norfolk
line, had been captured by party of
rebels while on her downward trip to
Fort Monroe, and taken into one OF the
rivers Of the western shore of Virginia.
1t is stated that the rebels were in armed
tugs. As far as can be ascertained this
rumor is false, but three other small
boats have been captured. One of them
is the side-wheel steamer plyin between
| Fl. Monroe and Cherrystone Inlet. The
other two were tugs employed in run
ming between the same points. The par
ty making the capture were in schoon-
er which is supposed to have come out Of
the Rappahannock They boarded the
steamer and compelled Captain Webster
to give bond to the amount o. twenty
thousand dollars, and then released her
They stole eleven hundred dollars from

A Ealsehooa rernted by a Fact.

We hear much from the Copperheads
now a days, about liberty of Speech and
Press A great deal is said about rights
of trial by jury and the writ of habeas
corpus This is all well enough. We
are always pleased to hear it, so long as
freedom of speech is not employed to
cover the crime of treason, and liberty
of the press is not used as a pretext to
encourage the Rebellion, and the rights
of trial by jury and the writ of habeas
eorpas are not used to encourage deser-
ton and embarrass our armies. But the
efrontery of the Copperheads in claiming
to be the champions of free speech and
q free press is so disgusting that we feel
like exposing it A bold face, we are
aware, often aids bad cause, and I'M
blushing impudence hes frequently cheat
ed justice of its dues, but we do not in
tend that the Copperheads shall so es-
cape, however freely they may use both
falsehood and impudence.
Perhaps some of ourreaders have read
in lCopperhead sheets expressions like
the following:
"They the Democrats invade none
of the rights Of their political opponents.
They have sought to deprive them Of
none of the privileges guaranteed them
by the Constitution and laws of the land
They have denied them, when they had
the power, neither liberty of speech MOI
the press, trial by jury nor writ of Aabea>
corpus, the right of counsel or the right
of bail.
This is all very pretty. 1t is a pity i
is not true. 1t is the opposite of truth
The Democratic party when in power
have always abridged liberty of speech
and Of the press, in all those States where
it had the power to do so. In the poHt
zeal campaign of 1860, with the excep
ton of New Jersey and Missouri, IA
not single State that cast its eleetO
rat vote for either Of the Democratic
candidates for President aoas the pub
licatioR Of Republican paper toIerat
ed. 1t was almost certain death for a
man to attempt it Offices we're mobbed
editors tarred and feathered, rode on rails
and compelled to submit to other indig.
nations of the most shameful character
They were not allowed the benefit OF trial
by jury or of the writ of habeas corpus
No man dared make Republican speeches
in those States and in many cases female
teachers, guilty of no crime other thai
imparting instruction to those committed
