From WASHINGTON.


The ports of Norfolk, Virginia, Fernan-
dina and Pensacola, Florida, having for
some time past been in the military pos
session of the United States, it is deemed
advisable that they should be opened to
domestic and foreign commerce, and there
fore the President of the United States has
issued proclamation making known that
pursuant to the authority vested in him by
the act of Congress of June 1861, the
blockade of these ports shall so far cease and
determine from and after the first day of
December next that commercial intercourse
with them, except to persons and things
and information contraband of war, may
from that time be carried on subject to the
laws of the United States to the limitations
and pursuance to the regulations which
may be prescribed by the Secretary of the
Treasury and to such military and naval
regulations as are now in force or may
hereafter be found necessary.
A private letter from feet of Charles
ton, says that recently the Pontiac, sighting
blockade runner, slipped her cable and
gave chase, but without effect. Returning
subsequently to get her anchor, the rebels

FROM SHERMAN.

BUFFALO, NOV. 20.
Brigadier General Barry, Chief of Ar
tillery OF Major General Shermans army,
arrived here yesterday, seriously i'll from
an attack of erysipelas.
He left General Sherman at nine clock
on the morning of the 18th, at Kingston,
Georgia.
General Barry says General Sherman
has every infantry, cavalry and artillery
soldier that ne wants.
The men have all received eight months
pay. Their outfit has been especially
adapted to the hardest winter campaign
and the morale of the troops is excellent

De true, the destruction of the railroad can
be understood though it will still appear
superAuous labor. Reports had it that
Sherman, having burned Atlanta on the
IIth, had set out for Macon with three
Corps amounting to $4,000 men, and that
on yesterday he had reached Jonesboro',
! twenty-five miles south of the Atlanta.
Ifthere is any truth in the accounts, as
we believe there is, Wheeler has much to
answer for. It devolves upon him to watch
Sherman and be posted on his movements.
Only four days ago he reported him NOV
ing towards Bridgeport. 1t is now said that
hereports him moving towards Macon.
AS above stated, we regret to say that
this letter is corroborated by other evi-
dence.
Sherman will, we think, meet with Op-
position that he does not calculate upon,
before he reaches the forlihcations1of Ma
con. These works, should he ever reach
them, he will find of the most formidable
character, and with troops that before that
time will be collected in them, must give
him vast deal Of trouble that he evident
ly did not count upon. If the Georgiaus
battle for their trenches as the Petersburg
militia did for theirs, or the Richmond
militia did last juno for theirs, or as the
Richmond militia did at Stanton River
Bridge, late in the summer, Macon will be
saved.
In undertaking this expedition, sher-
man is too prudent a man to rely upon
subsisting his army upon the country, and
it becomes interesting and important to
consider what point he calculates upon
making mis- base of supplies.
H destruction of the railroad northwest
of Atlanta, proves that he has cut loose
from Chattanooga as a base. He must
then be looking to some point on the Allan
tic or Gulf. We are disposed, for several
reasons, to believe that Pensacola is the
selected point. This is not because of its
greater proximity than other ports to his
present field of operations, but because it is
that for more than a month,
a very large quantity of supplies have been
there. If he fails to take
Macon at the first dash, he will probably
run for Pensacola, and make it his rev
base of operations. It is not to be supposed
that he carried with him sufficient supplies
to enable him TO enter upon a siege which
shall occupy any considerable length of
time.
The Richmond Sentinel says:
The First point marked for capture by
is Macon, distant from Atlanta |
ons hundred and three miles. Ma icon |
gained, we are informed, that he is next to |
move on Savannah, one hundred and |
ninety miles from Macon, and then upon
one hundred and four miles
iurther. Perhaps Augusta, one hundred
md sixty four miles from Macon by rail- |
road, is to form point in the grand tour. |
Having resolved upon such a march, |
Sherman has committed himself to it by /
earring up the railroad behind him as far |
pack as to Alatoona, and by destroying the |
bridge over the Chattahoochie.

NEW YeRK, Nov. 10.
The Commercials Washington special
says:
General Grant is expected in Washington
| on Monday, having been sent for to consult
with the President.
This fact, in connection with that of the
war estimates being based on the large
force and active operations, indicate that
the Administration is determined TO make
the rebels feel the full weight of the
sword.
The State Department is engaged in in
vestigating the Florida affair.
The Richmond Wing Of Wednesday
says:
An immense feet oftransports has arriv-

in that quarter at an early day.
The special committee of the Rebel Con
gress have reported W. r. W. Cobb disloyal
and recommended his expulsion from the

Passengers from City Point report that
active operations may be expected at any
moment.
General Burnside has taken command of
the 9th Corps.
The eommsrciaPs Washington correo-
pondent, says;
Sherman has fooled the rebels by making
them believe that he is going to Mobile.
There sre indications that he is going tn
Millen, at the junction of the railroad from
Augusta and Macon, towards Savannah.
The Posts special says;
The peace reinors here have no other
foundation than the Presidents having
complimented Butler on his New York
speech.
The stories of sending Peace Commits
sioners to Richmond are without founda-
tion, a proclamation may however be is
sued in few weeks.
There is no truth in the report that Mr..
Fessenden has been selling gold to bring
down the premium. To those who are
aware of what is going on at the present
moment in the prosecution of the war, it
is not surprising that gold trembles. Instead
of the cam Daign being ended, there has
not been time for six months when the
Confedersey was in so much danger at diff
ferent points as now.

An Atlanta letter of the 10th, to the
Herald, mentions the arrival Of an escaped
Union prisoner from AndersonVille, who
confirms the statements of the rebel afro
citiss toward our prisoners, and who also
states that in travelling through Georgia,
he found the harvests had been gathered,
the barns and warehouses filed, and but
very few rebel soldiers in the interior,
showing that there is plenty to subsist an
army upon, while but little resistance can
be offered.
The last train from Atlanta, bound
north, was to leave on the 1lth.
The only troops in Atlanta on the 10th

ted and torn up, and all the iron put be-
yond use, or brought to the rear. Allan

the country for miles around it is wasted
beyond possibility of service to the rebel
army. Atlanta is in ruins, and its streets

weeks trains coming North nave been
filed with Government stores and refugees.
and the scenes at the depot have been
those of confusion and suffering.
Another account says that Sherman had
his headquarters, on Monday last, at
Kingston, with the lzth corps.
Hehad issued an order telling the troops
they were about to pass through a country
heretofore unOccupied by either army,
and that they expected to subsist on the

Reports well authenticated say Early is
rapidly retreating down the Valley, de-

the country to the rescue of Charleston
and Mobile.
Secretary Stanton was at the War Office
to-day, collecting estimates from the sew
ersl Bureaus for the completion of his an

for at an early day.
A freight train on the Baltimore & Ohio

two other employees.
Mr.. Seward and Thurlow Weed are said
to be using their utmost ezertions to have

Office. Thus far they have not made much
