The Campaign in South Carolina.

Gen. Sherman's campaign IN South
Ctrolina has pretty fairly begun. The
right wing of his army, commanded by
Gen. Howard, it appears, has been
transferred by water to Port Royal, and
from there moved out to the rebel
works at Pocotaligo Bridge, driving the
enemy from his position and capturing
guns, &c. This ID very important
point on the Charleston and Savannah
Railroad, and will doubtless be held as
q base for the right wing of the army.
AS soon as this work was accomplish
ed. Sherman, took possession Of the
railroad from that point to Savannah,
and Immediately began to move tho
left wing, under Slocum, from SaYan-
nah. The lines of march of these two
wings we can of course only guess at.
Many persons think the point aimed at
will be Branchville, and that the reb-
els will make a determined stand at
this point.
In confederation of this view, it is
said the enemy is concentrating sll his
troops there, that Gen. Bardee has or
dered all the forces IN Charleston 70
that point, and that Bragg and Lee
have both contributed from their
armies at Wilmington and Richmond
Others again argue that as the main
force of the rebels is at AshapOO, point
on the railroad thirty miles south Of
Charleston, the enemy will make a TEN
porary stand there and then fall back
on Charleston.
On the other hand correspondent
of the New York Times, writing from
Port Royal, says he cannot understand
how the rebels can make stand any
where in South Carolina. he says they
have not the men, either in number or
stamina, to meet the force that Sher-
man is prepared to hurl against them.
We are inclined to the latter opinion.
In the meantime we may expect to
learn some very important news from
that quarter in a short time -LoyisgiHs

NEwsBoYs-The ne8sboys Of the large
cities are a peculiar class Of bipeds.
Where they live, what they do with
their Idle time, have they any idea Of a
future world, and do their mothers
know they are out are questions which
curiosity prompts people to sometimes
ask, but we have never yet heard Of a
satisfactory answer being given. The
little ragamuffins may be heard n the
streets, every morning and afternoon,
yelling at the top Of their voices, run
ming from one corner to another, way
laying foot passengers, climbing up the
sides Of omnibusss, scrambling into
street cars, boarding steamboats,, and
elbowing their way into public meet
ings, for the purpose of disposing Of
their wares -Erehangs.
