What the Richmond Papers say Of
Sherman's Movement.


NEW YoHK. Nov. 25.-Ths Richmond
Wing Of the 2Ist says Grant has consented
that blankets may be purchased in New
York city for the rebel prisoners at the
North. A vessel loaded with cotton to pay
for these blankets is to be shipped from
Mobile to the rebel General Trimble, con-
slgned to Beale, now confined at Fort War
rem.
The Richmond Dispatch of the 2lst says
that Sherman is moving in two columns,
one on Augusta and the other on Macon.
The column marching on the Georgia
State road for Augusta, will probably go
as far as Madison and then march on Nil.
ledgeVille. The column marching on Ma
con will probably go to Crawford, within
fifteen miles Of the town, and there turn
of to MilledgeYille and form q junction
with the other body. By this movement
Macon fallsI- and the enemy are ct liberty
to move ON Augusta via the Georgia Cen
trail railroad to BrysonVille, and then
march north or on Savannah.
Sherman 10 moving rapidly, and Is not
much troubled with transportation. BE
has burned several stations, and is deVRs-
tAting the country generally in foragiug.

sists on the repeal of the exemption laws
aud the eonscriptiou Of the exemptsi in
order to secure q force 70 meet Sherman.
TelegrAphic communication WAS open
only from Richmond TO MilledgeVille, oW-

ia Washington Hall, to partake of the mu-

A very large number of citizens were also
present, so that the house was literally
ahmed full. Some little disturbance oc-
buried in the early part of the evening be-
tween one or two soldiers of different reg
iments, but as officers and men were de-
termined that nothing should disturb the
harmony and good feeling of the occasion,
the disturbance was quelled in a moment

Cavalry Fight with Early's Army

NEW York, Nov. 25.-The Herald's dis
patches from the Shenandoah Valley say,
that Gen. Sheridan's cavalry have had an.
other very brilliant aud successful engage
ment with Early's army.
On Monday last three divisions of Union
cavalry in the Valley, under Custar, Pow
ell and DeVin, commenced Q movement for
the purpose of ascertaining the rebel posi-
ton and strength.
Devin marched up the Luray Valley and
the two other divisions pushed up the Shen-
andoah Valley, driving before them small
parties of rebels. No resistance of impOr-
lance was met with until Tuesday, when
the main infantry army consisting ofsbout
Is 900 men and division Of cavalry, were
found at Roads Hill, position almost as
strong as Fishers Hill.
Fighting Immediately commenced and
continued for six hours, which was during
the greater part of the time quite severe
Early made repeated attempts to flank
Gustav and Powell, in all of which he failed.
the Union cavalry. The rebels showed
little spirit during the engagement.
After gaining sufficient information of
Early's strength, objects and position, the
national forces commenced to retire. Some
feeble attempts to follow and annoy were
made but without any success to the enc
my, aud Oustsr and Powell returned down
the Valley with their commands in safety,
having lost altogether in killed, wounded
and missing, only about 90 men.
The dispatches furnish confirmation OF
the report that some of Early's men have
been withdrawn from the Valley. but these,
the rebels say, have been replaced by scat
tered detachments from various sections.

Proceedings in the Rebel Congress.
NEW YoRK, Nov. 26.-In debate in the
rebel House on the 18th inst, two or three
very interesting points were disclosed
The expose by Mr.. Foote of the fact that
the radical se0essionists are engaged in q
crusade against the rebel Vice President
Stephens, Is one of the developments made
on the occasion. This war against Mr..
Stephens appears TO be extending to all the
reconstructiOnists aud Boyce, Brown,
Leach, Vance, Stephens, Cobb and Foote
are denounced as needless agitators OF
dangerous questions.
The rebel House Of Representatives, like
the Oonfederacy in general, 10 House di
Vided against Itself, and cannot stand long
In such tornRdoes Of excitement % Shers
man is at present creating.
Gov Brown and Vance have taken posi-
tive action in opposing the execution OF
the CONSUMPTION law.
Mr.. Leach, of N. c., takes occasion to
fully endorse the language OF Brown,
Stephens and Boyce, and asks 70 be hung
With them in case the Oontederacy decides
they are disloyal. He denounces Staples,
of Va, as Q consolidatiouist aud Is In turn
denounced by that gentleman as one feel
ing more alarmed at the eucrosehments OF
the JEFF. Davis despotism than those OF the
enemy.
Mr.. Foote denounces everybody In gen.
eral and declares that this 10 no time TO pro.
pose peace. The House passed In undue
haste the Senate bill to amend the law 30
as to force the militia in one State to go
to the defence of other States.
The action has been taken in order to
concentrate the forces of the gulf States
against Sherman but he will hardly give
them time to do 90.
