Am Order from Gen. Lee-Sher.
mans Army So HiGe.Esits and
Prisoners Captured ON James
Ieland.
New YORK, Feb. 16.-In a general order
Issued by the new rebel Commander-in-
Chief it is admitted that the discipline and
efficiency of the army have been greatly
impaired by the custom of men of trans
ferring themselves to the different branches
OF the service, or in other words, deserting
from heavy to lighter duties. SO complete
ly has all trace of these transferred men
been lost, that Lee is compelled to announce
an amnesty to all who voluntarily return to
duty in their proper branch of the SER
vice.
The Worlds Washington special says
special bearer of dispatches who left Sher-
mans army 10 miles from Branchville, ar
rived here tonight. When he left Sher-
man was easily overcoming all obstacles in
his way. n
Friday last General Schemmellfring with
small force from Folly Island, crossed over
to James Island, captured some rifle-pits
and took quite number of prisoners, after
a brief skirmish. This information came to
the Arago by special dispatch boat from
Morris Island, as she was passing Charles
ton harbor. AT that time vigorous can
nonading was going ON, but its character
was not ascertained. ~
Gen. Gilmore succeeded Gen. Foster, who
has secured furlough owing to disability
from wounds.

Gen. Terry and Admiral Porter
Again ON the War Path.

New YORK, Feb. l6.-The Herald's Fort
Fisher correspondent says: Gen. Terry and
Admiral Porter have again disturbed the
repose of the rebels defending the city of
Wilmington. For the purpose of making
reconnaissance in force, last Saturday MORN
ing the National troops were formed in line
of battle above Fort Fisher, stretching
across the Peninsula from the ocean to Cape
Fear river, Gen. Ames' division of white
soldiers forming the right, and Gen. Payne's
colored division the left. A simultaneous
advance was made on the two wings; and
the rebels were driven from their lines and
into their main works, and were forced to
yield few miles of ground in the direction
of Wilmington, which Terry's men held at
night They also lost about 100 prisoners.
The total casualties on the Union side were
GO or 20. Admiral Porter operated with
his fleet, both on the river and ocean, his
gunboats moving up Cape Fear river in adj
vance of the troops, and subjecting the reb-
ell Fort Anderson to most vigorous she'll
ing, which was very feebly replied to-.

I.atest fron, sherman. .

WASHINGTON, Feb. l6.--Major Stalbrand,
chief OF artillery of the 18th corps of Sher-
mans army, has arrived here, bringing dis
patches to Government. He saysSherman's
plans are not generally known toihis own
army, although he has its entire confidence.
lt was Blair's division which defeated
the enemy at Rivers bridge, the soldiers
wading to their waists to make the attack.
A little northwest of that point is a fine
productive section of country. easily tray
eled, with good roads and Astounding in
supplies.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18.-A special to the
Evening Bulletin says: Richmond papers
of the 10th indicate that Shermans ad-
vance cavalry are as far north as Florence,
the second important railroad Junction on
the borders of North Carolina. They an
nounce all telegraphic and railroad COM
munication with Charleston destroyed, thus
showing that Sherman's left column must
have struck the Northeastern railroad, run
ming from Charleston to Florence.
Richmond papers of the14th received to-
day, show that the question of arming
the slaves has been temporarily laid aside
i'll the rebel Congress. ~ 5a.., r... s..r.

Mexican News.

New YORK, Feb. 1G.-The steamer Eagle
brings Havanah dates of the 18th. Private
letters from Mexico says that Gen. Bazear
has been defeated three times at Oaxoca
with heavy loss. On one occasion he found
himself almost surrounded by masked bat
teries, which did fearful execution upon his
army. Gen. Diaz has $1,000 men and 100
pieces of artillery, and this force is con-
stantly increasing. 1twas reported at Vera
Cruz that Bazear was seriously wounded
and that most Of the foreign legion had de-
serted, most of them going over to the Lib
erals. The Liberals are increasing, and it
is said now number 10000. They have re-
covered the entire state of Jalasco; indeed
the empire consists only of Matamoras,
Tuxpan, Tampico, Vera Cruz, Alvarado
and the City of Mexico. Authority is
maintained in those places only by frequent
exections of innocent MeXicans.
The Liberals had gained victory at
Soquite.
Gwin has left Havana for Europe.

The Union Sentiment in Georgia.

New YORK, Feb. 16.-The Heralds Sa-
vannah correspondence says: Notwith-
standing all rebel denials to the contrary,
the Union sentiment throughout Georgia is
very strong. Meetings have been held in at
least nineteen counties, at which resolutions
in favor of closing the war and returning
to the Union were adopted, and these are
said to express the almost unanimous feel
ing of the people of the northwestern as
well as other parts of the State. Augusta
and Pulaski peace meetings were broken up
by the military. The Legislature was to
meet in extra session yesterday, and strong
efforts will be made, with good hopes of
success, to have it authorize the calling of
q convention for the purpose of etfecting
the restoration of the State to the Union.
Gov. Brown is believed to be fully in accord
with the movements in this project

The Cnrruption an LittIe Rock.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Major Gen. Her.
ron, in his report of the recent investiga-
tion at Little Rock, in the Department of
Arkansas, transmitted to the Senate to-day,
indicates his belief in the existence of cor
ruption and speculation, but eXonerates
ten. Steele from all blame, excepting too
explicit confidence in the integrity of his
stall He seems to regard the Provost Mar
shal General and LIEUT.. Col. Chandler, as
the principle offenders. Fines, licenses,
brides for release from Imprisonment.
and proceeds of cotton are the suspected
sources of cmolumcnt, of which the evil
dence is not very direct. His dismissal Is
advised, and Col. Benton, of the Doth Iowa
infantry, recommended in his stead. Gen.
Heron also recommends the reno
val of Colonel B. o. Carr chief Quar-
termaster. 1t is further stated that
the district of Little Rock is controlled
by combination known as "McDonald a.
Co.," contractors for supplying Indian sta
tions with an unlimited license from the
Treasury department, by which they bring
in immense stocks OF goods, relieved from
. per cent tax. One partner Is chief clerk
in the q. NJ. department., and is a brother to a
rebel Colonel. Henry Mckee conducts the
trading store at Fort Gibson, for the firm
OF Mcdonald, and Leymour at Fort Smith.
Partners are represented as shrewd and
sharp men, with plenty of money, and as
a combination which swallows up every
thing. f.''.

The Advance Of Iroward's Corps

New YORK, Feb. 1G.-The Worlds cor
respondent shows that Howard's corps, lin
its advance, was obliged to press its way
through forty miles of swamps of the most
dismal character, against Hardee's army,
which they constantly pressed back by Wig
orous charges. These the chivalry could
side were small. The whole country was
found depopulated, with the exception of
old helpless negroes who were Oh the verge
of starvation. The first stand made by the
rebels was at Salkahatchie river, on the op-
posite side ofwhich they showed themselves
in force, aided by flank movement. Our
troops, with fixed bayonets, charged across
the stream, five feet deep, in the face of
heavy fire, and wrested the position from
the rebels, who fled in disorder toward
Branchville, leaving their guns unspiked.
We lost l50 killed and wounded, among the
latter Col. Swaine.

Fair for est. Francis Hospital OF
. Startling Medical Colleges, .r

1t Is well known to the citizens of Column
bus, that the late LYME STARTLING, ESQ.,, left
a sum of money to establish a Medical Col
lege, and Charity Hospital in connection
herewith, and that large and commo-
dions building, which is an ornament to our
city, has been erected. The Medical de-
partment thereof has been in successful OPP
Grafton for some years, bringing annually
TO Columbus large class of students, and
Dy this means, disbursing many thousands
ofdollars in the city. Thus in apecuniary
view alone, it deserves, and should receive
the fostering care and liberal support of the
citizens. But the Trustees are about to add
to the just claims which the College has
upon the public for a generous co-opera-
tion, by establishing the "ST. FRANCIS Hos
PIrALs Of Starring Medical C0llege"-an in
stitution which will greatly inure to the
Denett OF our community, tor it will be a
Public Charity where the poor will always
have preference, and where all are to be re-
celved without question as to sect, age, sex,
color, or worldly condition and to be nursed
and treated medically and surgically, uitI,-
ont money and without price, save and except
such as may be voluntarily offered. The
Trustees are only recently enabled to carry
out this benevolent enterprise, because the
sisters of st. Francis" whose vows bind
their lives to the service of the sick and the
poor, have undertaken to furnish and con-
duct the hospital in the most complete man
ner, and on the most extensive scale that
the rooms and their means will admit. A
large and Immediate expenditure will be
required, and the funds must be provided
In furtherance Of this purpose, q Fair will
be held about the 2lst of February.
lnasmuch as it is in aid of charity that
will greatly benefit the city, have they not
right to expect that our citizens will re-
spond with that promptitude and liberdlity
which have always characterized them?-
The advantages and necessity for such an
institution in our midst are so obvious that
there is no need ofargument; and the Trus-
tees and Faculty of Startling Medical Col
lege, feeling assured that the objects Of the
trust committed to them will be faithfully
carried out and rendered efficient by the
they have made, most cordial
ly commend the Fair and the st. Francis |
Hospital to the enlightened and liberal pat
ronage of our fellow-citizens.
