special of the Times says Richmond papers
are more frantic than ever. The Enquirer
calls upon JEFF Davis to arm the slaves
without the authority Of law. The States
and the cause stand to-day in need OF Die
tator Of a man who will seize the power Ct
the people and use it FOR their preservation.
Further on, it says sherman is pushing
through the Carolinss like an avalanche,
and report says he has captured one hun
dred thousand bales Of cotton.
Gen. Grant lie gradually, and perhaps
surely, extending his lines AROUND Peters
burg and the railroad to Richmond and
deserters every moment burst over the
lines that intervene whilst the Senate is
playing the conservative 1.-The rebel Senate,
it viii be remembered, rejected the prOpo-
siticn to arm the slayesl. History presents
no parallel to this.
The Herald's Charleston correspondent
says that even in that hot bed Of secession
love for the old Union has survived all
vieisitudes, and the remaining Inhabitants
Of the city manifested the widest delight
At the unfurling Of the old flag, and when a
small body Of colored troops, the first to
land in the town, started up the principal
street, their officers were scarcely able TO
proceed with them, being met with per-
feet ovation. Men and women thronged
the avenues shouting, waving handsrchiefs
and cheering from the stores and houses for
President Lincoln and the Yankee Army.
The rebels destroyed much property by
burning and explosion before they left, but
large amounts esre found remaining in the
city after the Union forces teok possession,
including, it is supposed, about 5000 bales
Of cotton, and large quantities Of tobaccoi
some 200 pieces of artillery and immense
supplies of ammunition we're found in the
forts.
It also appears that similar welcome
was extended Gen. Terry's troops when
they marched into Wilmington. Old flags,
which had long been hidden away, we're
broug ut out and given to the breeze. Crowds
Of people, waving their handkerchiefs,
lined the route Of march, and shouts hlled
the air.
The entire Union losses in killed and
wounded in al the operations in Cape Fear
River, succeeding the occupation Of Fort
Fisher, up to and including the occupation
Of Wilmington, did not exceed eight hun
1red men.
The Times Washington special claims to
have accurate information as to the number
If che rebel force that can be brought
lgainst Sherman. Beauregsrd supereeded |
aardee, when that General left Savannah, |
md took his force of 5000 effective men,
While Hardee went 10 Charleston, whore |
here was not over two brigsdes. These
rave since probably joined Beauregard a.
Bragg had not exceeding
O90imen, principally Hoke's division. They 1
laYo fallen back towards GoldsboTo, be-
Teen Wilmington and Weldon. General |
Baker had brigade not over 1000 strong 1t
ialisbury. About two regiments were sta
toned there guarding prisoners. The force
therefore, that Beauregard could cOnceR-
rate does not exceed $4,000. he has cav
Try sufficient, perhaps, to swell his force %
{, 900. IF Sherman forms junction with
choheld, a. he undoubtedly viii, it is safe
D say his force win be Ear superior to that
( Beauregsrd's concentrated strsnEtbsand
be aid be may get from RichmeDd.
The Richmond Wing, Of 2sLb, gives an
ntirsly new version Of the capture Of Co
lmbia. I. says the sighting was most OBJ
innate, aud the place was lost only By sheer
unsrieal superiority. The fighting, ae-
ording 70 some accounts, was carried on
thin the streets Of the city. AL or nearly
4 OF the Government property was re-
loved.
