stated thu, the entire elective force 1t the
Coaf,sl-racs numbered only lei 600 mcn
which staten ent, on being ques- toned. Mas
sgb>tau,iatcd by official documents from
Richmond The State authorities in SyaIth
Carolina allow no guerrillas to prowl
within the borders I'll the State, aud have
repeatedly demonstrated With the auihori-
ties at Richmond against the inhuman treat
ment extended by the rebel government To
prisoners Of war.
Nen York, Mlrch l9.-The Times spe-
cial says: Des-riers bring report that
the evacuation of Richmond is openly spo-
ken of as inevitable and necessary, since
the destruction of the James river canal
The wealthy were removing themselves
ard effects to such parts Of the State as
they thought would remain unmolested.
With the canal gone, it was impossible to
feed the citizens of the army. A large
number of negroes had been impressed to
repair the damages, while at the same time
the organization of colored soldiers had
commenced.
Tho rebel authorities arc in anticipation
Of a real attack by Grant, and were placing
in tho entertainments eve.y man and boy
Il, g
eminent records had been packed up pre-.
paratory to a removal. Enormous prices
were demanded by thoss who had who had
produce to sell. There was great suffer
ing among the poorer classes. many Of
whom were actually starving. The prices
everything had more than doubled since
Sheridan's wholesale destruction of the ca
nal and railroad. Flour was selling at fif-
teen hunrdcd dollars per barrel; meal ten
dollars per sack; whisky four hundred
dollars per gallon other things in proper
ton. Board at the hotels was one hundred
dollars per day. Common board Of labor
crs was ten dollars per day.
The Commercials correspondent says
that there are unmistakable signs that the
rebels are either massing force for dcs-
pcrate battle, or that they were preparing
to evacuate Petersburg and perhaps Rich
lnond.

army of the James special dispatch says {:
Gen Kautz's cavalry division returned ear.
ly this morning from three days tramp
in the direction Of White House. The
crossing of the Chickahominy was made
by long bridge. Accommodating parties
were sent out in different directions. Four
or five miles beyond the river, towards
New Kent Court House, a considerable
force Of the enemy, believed to be a por-
ton Of Pickett's Division, was found tenn
porarily FORMULATING tho country. Our
forces were quietly withdrawn last night at
IL o'clockr The details of reconnaissance
are comparatively uninterestirg, other than
the James river took sudden rise this
morning, overlooking the banks in many
places, but doing no damage to the bridges
and docks. At sunset the freshet was
gradually subsiding.
Washington, March 2O.-Tho Navy
Department to-day received the following !:
Flag Ship General Burnside, ef' Bridg-
port, March Al have the honor to in
form you that took advantage of the
late rise in the Tennessee river, crossed
Elk river Shoal with the flagship and the
Gen. Thomas and went down to Muscle
Shoals. came across Gen. Roddy's
camp. drove him off, penetrated Elk river
and am making good success in encour-
aging loyal feeling on the south side Of
the river. The citizens are coming in and
taking the oath. From interviews have
had with prominent men, think there is
no doubt but that Alabama will return to
her allegiance to the Government.
