New YORK, March 2.
A Knoxville dispatch says there are many
rumors touching the course of the rebel re-
treat, but little is known concerning it, owing
to the distance. 1t is pretty definitely ascer-
tain, however, that Wheeler's cavalry will join
Morgan in an attempt on the Chattanooga
railroad, and that the infantry are marching
rapidly towards Virginia. There is conec-
ture that Longstreet intends to invade Ken
lucky through Pound Gap. There are grounds
for saying that this is probable. The spring
campaign in this department is fully opened.
The public may rest assured that this army
will not remain at Strawberry Plains while
Longstreet is passing through Pound Gap.

The Charleston papers of the 9th ult, speak
Of having only ascertained the cause of the
sinking of the Housatonic from captured Yam
KEGS. They had previously supposed the ves-
sci had sunk in storm and only learnt that
the torpedo vessels had been successful ten
days after the occurrence, which was on the
18th. 1t appears that the torpedo vessel was
also destroyed at the same tme Lieut.. Dix

Southern accounts of General Shertsaa's
Expedition.
NEW YORK, March 2.
The Richmond Examiner of the 9th says
an official dispatch was received by the Presi-
dent from Johnston yesterday, stating that
the enemy was skirmishing all along his lines
northeast from Dalton. Ii Is not doubted that
the enemy is making general advance into
Georgia.
We have, by the way of Nashville, Tenn,
Southern accounts OF Gen. Sherman's pro-
gress from the 18th to the 22d. One of these
accounts says Sherman was ON the railroad,
thirty miles east of Meridian on the nth ult.
Gen. Polk has retreated across the river at
Demopois to decoy Gen. Sherman across,
when he would offer battle.
The Atlanta Appeal says Gen. Shermans
purposes are still mystery as to whether he
will turn eastward or go to Mobile. Polk
awaits him on the Tombigbee If he turns east,
or if he goes against Mobile, Polk will rein
force the city by the river before Sherman
can reach there. 1t thinks the movement
from Chattanooga is intended TO cooperate
with Sherman. 1t says Sherman, with sud-
denness and unexpected rapidity, has moved
against our weakest point. Mississippi is the
very Egypt of the Confederacy, where, ii not
elected, he can subsist until spring, and do
more damage than by winning pitch battle
He is making war upon our subsistence and
resources, which to destroy is to defeat u.s.
Sherman marches in a solid body with his ar
tllery in front and rear and on his TANKS, and
his cavalry close under his guns. Not man
is allowed to go far enough to steal chicken
or pig in our cavalry, which hovers around
him, but are unable TO harrass him. The ut
most CONSERVATION prevails, and the citizens
are invoked to repel the invaders.
The Mississippian thinks the further Sher-
man advances the better. There is no escape
for him, except through the supinentss OF the
rebel commanders.
