LOCAL. MATTERS.

AFFAIR OF HONOR Cur SHoRr.-The
Hon. Henry s. Foote, Of Tennessee, was,
on yesterday, just after the adjournment
of Congress, arrested by officer Jenkins,
OF the city police, on warrant charging
him with being about to engage in duel
with Mr.. John Mitchell. Mr.. Foote was
carried before the Mayor, who held him
to bail in the sum of five thousand dol
lars to appear before him this morning
at 9 o'clock and answer the charge, and
required him to give security in like
amount, in the meantime, to keep the
peace and be Of good behavior. The
Hon. Charles S. Colyar, of Tennessee,
became Mr.. Foote'S. surety.
The difficulty between Messrs. Foote
and Mitchell is said to have grown ont Of
some editorial structures in the Richmond
Examiner upon Mr. Foote'S speech in
Congress, last Saturday, upon resolutions
introduced by Mr.. Staples, of Virginia.
Mr. Foote, attributing the obnoxious edi
toriaf to Mr.. Mitchell, on Monday ami
madvepted upon it from his place in the
House of Representatives; and in the
course of his remarks, made use of some
expressions which were deemed persona
and offensive to Mr.. Mitchell.
We have not learned whether there wa!
a warrant issued for Mr.. MitchelPs arrest
If there was, it had not been executed al
to 6 o'clock last evening.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1864-11-23

by our generals, he must be checked and
destroyed. 1t impossible he should be
able to support his army on the coun-
try-a fact which alone must very soon
embarrass him sorely.
Most persons seem to have very lit
| tie idea of the situation of the railroads
in the country in which Sherman is now
operating. We will endeavor to make it
as clear as we can:
Two railroads, besides the Chatta-
nooga, which runs north, have their rise
in Atlanta. The Georgia railroad runs
nearly due east, strikes the South Caro-
lima boundary at Hamburg; becomes
thence the South Carolina railroad
and terminates in Charleston. The Ma.
con railroad runs from Atlanta due south
to Barneville; thence at right angles to
its former. course in an easterly direction
to Macon. Thence to Savannah. pur-
suing nearly southeastern course. runs
the Central railroad. At Gordon. on the
Central railroad, about fifteen miles east
of Macon, a branch railroad runs through
Mllledgeville to a place called Eatendon.
This place is about fifteen miles from
Madison, on the Georgia railroad. 1t is
said that portion of Sherman's
army went out as far Jas Madison,
on the Georgia railroad, and leaving it,
struck across to Eatendon, the immediate
object being Milledgeville, the capital of
the State. 1t is believed that Sherman
himself pursued the Macon railroad un-
til he came to Griffin, several miles above
Barneville, and thence struck across to
Gordon, avoiding Macon altogether, and
by this movement placing his whole force
in the rear Of it. The Georgia railroad
terminates at Augusta. Hamburg, the
South Carolina town, is on the opposite
side of the river.
We give these positions merely that
the reader may be enabled to Judge be-
tween the conflicting accounts he will
find in the newspapers.

Observation-Disclosures Truehart and
d. W. Hughes were, on yesterday, ex-
amined before Commissioner Sands on
the charge of aiding H. j. Phelps to go
to the Yankees, and A. j. Phelps, Third
company Washington Artillery, was at
the same time examined on the charge
of intending to 60 to the Yankees. 1t
appeared that Phelps, desiring to 60
North, communicated his desire to True
hart, who, undertaking TO make him &C
quainted with man who would put him
through the lines, took him down to the
Old Market and introduced him to
Hughes. The conversation between
Hughes and Phelps was overheard by a
person, who ran up and informed Cap.
tain Maccubbin. Maccubbin sent two
of his officers to arrest the parties. AT
ter his arrest, Phelps "squealed d"-that
is, confessed, and implicated Truehart
and Hughes.
The whole party were committed to
Castle Thunder-an institution that
must, by this time, be reasonably full,
| unless there are more deliverances from
it than we hear Of Truehart is said to
be Confederate Custom-house en-
ployee.

THE VAR NEWS.

YESTERDAY Ra6Sfdt aYthHssf 6aeiofs a fs1RRt RcRt a.
mond and Petersburg. The deep mud
makes military operations, for the pre-
sent, impossible; and the indications
are, that the wet weather is not, by any
means, over. We have have had the
dryest summer and fall known for many
years, and we have right to expect a
wet winter; such a winter, indeed, as
that of 1S62'63, when it rained and
showed almost necessarily from Novem-
Der to February.
Deserters and Yankee prisoners report
that great activity prevailed in Grants S
camps previously to the rain storm, and
that considerable bodies freinforcements
had arrived. Yankee newspapers say
they were about that time preparing
not to make an attack, but to resist one
from us, and give it as their opinion that
Lee is determined to make an early effort
to raise the siege of Petersburg.
The Yankee correspondents describe
General Pickett's capture, on last Thurs
day night, Of Buffers Bermuda picket
lines as failure Our readers have al
ready been informed of the facts of the
affair. 1t is only necessary to add that
General Pickett still holds the position
taken on that occasion.
FROM PETERSBURG.
There has been nothing of importance
done at Petersburg since the forty-two
deserting beeves came into our lines on
Saturday.
FROM GEORGIA
We have no official information from
Georgia. From such intelligence as
reaches US through what we deem
trustworthy sources, we conclude that
Sherman's main army is operating in the
country embraced between the railroads
running from Atlanta to Augusta, from
Atlanta to Macon, and the Georgia Cen
tral railroad. He is in the very heart
and centre of the State, his infantry
columns advancing ON Milledgeville.
While this is the direction of his main
column, one body of his cavalry has
advanced to within a short distance ol
Augusta, and the other has. struck the
Georgia Central road, leading from Ma.
con to Savannah at two points-within
few miles Of Macon, and at Gordon
the junction of the Georgia Central and
Gordon and Milledgeville branch rail
roads.
On Sunday, body of our cavalry, un
der Wheeler, attacked his cavalry al
Gordon, but with what result we have
not been able to ascertain.
Sherman is everywhere laying waste
the country with fire and sword, showing
clearly that it is his determination te
take no step backward His force, ca
valryincluded, is not believed to exceed
thirty thousand men; and it seems GER
tain that, II vigorous mea sures are taken
