Intelligenoe from Gen, Sherman.

New YoRK, March l6-The Herald s
Wilmington dispatch dated March IL, says
twoof Gen. Sherman scouts named George
W. Quimby and Mayron j. Amck the same
who communicated with Gen. Foster on the
Ogeechee, reached Wilmington on the 10th
They left Sherman at Laurel Hill marching
on and expecting to reach Fayetteville either
tile night Of the tenth or morning of the E.
leventh. Boats started at once up the Cape
Fear river, to remove obstructions and open
communication to Fayetteville. General
Sherman met no serious opposition on his
march, and fought no battles Rebel scouts
have been lowering round him constantly
A division of cavalry under General Me
Buffers is in his rear. Dick Taylor has not
been seen, rebel reports o the contrary not
withstanding. General Sherman crossed the
Great Pedee at Cheraw on the 18th. The
town. on the south bank, was entrenched
but the rebels made afeeble defence Sher-
mans cavalry dashed in on the run. In
their fight they chivalrously left to our men
seventeen guns in position. Four more were
found on the north bank. The rebels ap-
peared contenteG with acting as an escort to
Sherman army, trotting along in front as
if they had captured his whole army and
they also had a division of very peaccable
cavalry following behind.

A TnhSnao Ambassador.

Somebody has made mistake. One Gen.
eral SINGLETON, of Illinois, who has enjoyed
the doubtful honor of being a negotiator for
peace, and whose movements on this account
have been watched with good deal of jeal-
Gus scrutiny by our people, turns out TO be a
mere vulgar plenipotentiary, for the sale of
tobacco What his precise authority is in
the matter of the tobacco has not yet been
very plainly made known. He has elected
a few savage growlsfrom Richmond papers,
which is about all we know of his mission.
1t Is satisfactory, however, to learn that
the member from Illinois, instead of vast
ing his great power in trying to compose
the mortal feuds of states, has cence ntrated
himseifupon Cavendish and McA.boy, where
his efforts may innocently' end in smoke. u

LETTER FROM PATRICK OURLEY

GUARD HOUSE, Harrisburg, Mar l3, 1865.
Mr.. Row.-In looking over the Clear
field Republicans, of March Sth, | see that
Daniel has devoted good deal of his space
to my sole use. He says it was not the OBJ
Ject OF the meeting to resist the draft. | say
he tells plain unvarnished lie They were
to resist the draft, and he knew it. You
boast Daniel, of your brave, bold, true men,
and you say [ acted Judas. You lie in this
too. was not hired by any man. At the
meeting in August | was taught to give no
man or no money to the war, and did | go
to Harrisburg and put In a substitute? Who
acted Judas first Daniel? Was it me or your
friend Wallace?
What | said is true. | defy you or any
other man in Clearfeld to deny that the
meetings we held were not for resisting the
draft. You know that every man that went
to the August meeting, went there to hear
of way to resist the draft. Do you know
Daniel, that it was through your friend
w allace that was arrested the last time
He went to Capt. johnson and demanded
that Wilhelm should be released or that
should be arrested He knew that Wilhelm
could not be released, but that | could be
arrested. 1t was his jealousy that caused
my arrest Daniel. He saw that had got
out without his help, or that of his friends,
dHu nc oStSIIIlliCQ l. SIlOulu nc EtuU III again.
Go to him If you want TO find Judas,
Daniel
never went to one of the secret meetings,
until Wilhelm sent Lansberry to my house
to get me to come. He come twice before
| consented to attend. If it was only a
Democratic meeting, Daniel why did you
not come to Harrisburg, and tell it sooner?
Come yet, Daniel and maybe we can recov-
er damages for lost time But you know in
your heart that the meeting was to resist the
draft. The Constitution is good but the
bylaws, Daniel, some of them are hard.
Did you ever see the bylaws of aslb-divison?
Now Daniel keep cool and don bite your
self, L ask no more of you or your masters.
Your teachings have got me into all the
trouble | am now in, and | viii get out
without your assistance or that of your
masters. | have always been in favor of
what is right and honest and am yet, and if
you don't like what have done, you can

confirming all the considerations aud sales of

It's effects will be the establishment of reli-

FEDERAL OFFICERS EOR MEXICO "A
new and overshadowing sensation has seized
upon our armies in the field 1t has trans
pired that many Union officers, distinguish
ed for service and gallantry, whose terms
have expired, have yielded to fattering
overtures made by responsible parties, and
accepted commands in the National army of
Mexico. The service is immensely popular,
and thus far the selections made indicate
that those of tried ability and valor are
specially sought after.

The Citizen Prisoners.

1t affords US pleasure to announce that the
effort to which we alluded last week, to have
the citizens held in custody by the military
authorities turned over to the civil courts
for trial, has been successful. The order
has been made, and those from this county
will be tried in the United States Court at
Pittsburg. We presume they will be ad-
mitted to bail, and in the interval viii be
enabled to return home. We think the only
men now held for trial are Abel Hickock,
Price \. Rolls, Philip Sloppy, Daniel Good
lander and Daniel Bowman. We believe
the others have all been tried, or discharged
on parole.
T. 5. Since the above was in type, we see
by the Pittsburg Gazette, that the persons
named, together with DR. j. J. Krise of
Cambria county (who was arrested in Knox
township the time Adams was killed were
taken before the u. States Commissioner
Goodlander was released on bail in the sum
of So, 900 The others were committed for
further hearing on Friday 3lst March.
James Eckenrode of White township, Cam
bria county, testified that there was "a Sc
cret organization in White and Becca ria
townships, and all along the border of Clear
field and Cambria counties, for the purpose
of resisting the draft and the members
say that Dr. Krise, Gov. Bigler, and SEN
ator Wallace are at the head of it. y

THE FLooD IN CLEARFIELD.-OnF Friday
the 17th we witnessed the most destructive
food that has occurred in this county for
many years. The smaller bridges over the
streams were swept away, and square tim
ber, boards, scantling, shingles, fences, etc,
Roated down the streams in large quantities.
1t is estimated, that nearly one-forth of the
lumber went adrift. We have no data
by which to ascertain the actual loss sus-
tanned, but it is very heavy. Many per-
sons have lost all they were worth, by this
flood, and will have to commence anew.

quaintances of HOOPS army, whom they
