Itis known here that General Sherman was
not at Vickshurg in time to start on new ex.
pedition on the Gath, ast il vas contemplated
he should. He will however soou be heard
from again in active operations II is not
believed here in military circles that Admiral
Farragut intended to accomplish anything
more at Mobile than to make demonstra-
ton to draw the attention of the rebels from
other operations.
There are stories ailoat here to the effect
that tho testimony Of General Sickles touch
ing the battle OF Gettysburg, will make Il
necessary for General Meade to resign the
command of the Army of the Army Of the

or or General W. s Smith will be his sue
