NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The steamship
Memphis, which left Charleston bar on the
2lst, reports that the national flag was nv
ing. over the city and all the forts in the
harbor. Gen. Gilmore's Headquarters vere
established in the city. The forts which
remain IN good condition are of most
formidable character. Two hundred pieces
OF artillery, spiked but otherwise uniniur-
ed, fell into the hands of the national forces.
ABOUT 5000 bales of cotton were burned
by the rebels before they left, but it is be-
lleved that large quantities of it. and also
OF tobacco, are concealed in the houses. Just
before the national troops entered the CITY
the rebel reai guard were busy in plunder-
ing and firing the houses. Few but the
poor inhabitants remained in the city after
It's abandonment, the wealthy leaving it be-
lore, or with the rebel army.
The new blockaderunning steamship Deer.
with cargo Of liquors, was captured on the
night OF the 18th, while running up toward
the city, her officers being entirely ignorant
OF the change in affairs there.
1t is said that the garrsons from the forts
anu crews OF the rebel gunboats in Charles
ton harbor, were sent to Wilmington, N. C.
Richmond papers are barren of news con-
cerning Sherman's movements or where
abouts. They are very boastful in tone and
appear confident in their prophesies of his
overwhelming defeat. They say his doom
may be looked upon as sealed.

ARrEMUs WARD.--This distinguished hu-
morist had magnificent house at the Athe-
neum last night and gave very general sat-
isfaction. The New York Evening Post tells
the whole story about Artemus and his lec-
ture: "Artemus has style of his own,
which no lecturer has yet discovered.
He says so many funny things that the
audience Sometimes let 'goak' slip by un-
noticed and then Artemus will pause for
Q amomeht with downcast expression, till
asudden gufaw tells him that somebody
has seen the point. His lecture, besides its
rollicking fun, includes considerable valu-
able information, which is relieved from the
tedious elements usually existing in valua-
Bile Information, by the panoramic pictures
with which 1t is illustrated. An excellent
Idea of the leading features of social life In
Great Salt Lake Cityis obtained from. a

stock of Jokes to pass off at the next dinner
party as original" -,tffj ft |

New YORK, Feb. 27.-The Herald's James
river correspondent states that Gen. Lee
has gone southwark to conduct the opera-
tions Of opposing Sherman, leaving Joe
Johnston In command at Richmond and
Petersburg. large part of the rebel
army around Richmond had on Saturday
last been under marching orders for sever
al days, and considerable number of rebel
troops are believed to have been despatched
to act against Sherman.
Reports of Lees design to shortly aban-
don Petersburg and Richmond are repeat-
ed, and deserters now add that notice has
been given by him to the people of the
former place to have their tobacco and other
stores removed within four days. They
say that nearly all the artillery has been
taken from the Petersburg batteries, only
sufficient being left to keep up appearances.
Heavy artillery practice, continuing for
several hours, was INDUCED in on Thursday
and Friday last, by the opposing guns in
front OF Petersburg. The casualties how
ever, were few, and the firing appears to
have had no result Of Importance. NI
Of the stream OF rebel deserters pouring
into the Union lines, averaging at least 100
daily, a large portion bring with them their
arms and equipments, and the cavalrymen
bring In their horses. Since the fall of
Charleston, South Carolina troops, in large
numbers, have Joined the deserving throng.
The Richmond Sentinel of last Friday,
had report that Gen. Grant was again
massing on the Vaughn road.
Gen. Singleton and Judge Hughes, en-
route from Washington to Richmond, ar
rived at City Point on Saturday last.

LOUISVILLE, Feb. N.-General Palmer
has just issued an order promising military
protection to all deserters ffom the rebel
armies who forthwith register themselves
as renouncing further connection with the
rebel government, and threatening all alb
sentees from the rebels with the penalty
due to spies, guerrilas, or otherwise, as the
circumstances Of each case demand.
The Journal, in speaking of Lees army
editorially,. says: We have reason to say
that the rebels are expecting very soon to-
startle the whole country and astonish the
world. Nomatter what our reason may be,
it Is good one.

OPERA HoUsE-NIcK OF THE Woops.-
The Opera House was filled by large au-
dience last evening, who were delighted
with the performance of "Nick of the
Woods" Mr.. Proctor, in his transforma-
tions in this play, as the Jibbenainosay,
Bloody Nathan, and Nick of the Woods,
was admired in every one of them, and
loudly applauded from time to time. This
eccentric, yet interesting and romantic
play, was well sustained in all its subord-
mate, as well as principal parts, and will be
repeated Tonight when, such is the popu-
lar appreciation of the play and the man
ner in which Manager Ellsler has put it up
on the stage, that the Opera House will be
again crowded. This play will be followed
by the funny farce of "My Wife's Come"

LENT.-This is Shrove Tuesday, 80 called
because the faithful, on the day preceding
Ash Wednesday, used to confess their Sins
and be shriven in preparation for the fast
Of Lent. Tomorrow is the first day OF
Lent called Ash Wednesday, from the Gus
tom of sprinkling the head or forehead with
ashes on that day. Iti the forty sixth day
before Easter. the six Sundays intervening
between 1t and that festival, which
falls this year on the 10Th of April. not be-
ing counted as part of Lent, nor observed
as fast days.
According to many of the early christian
fathers, the fast of Lent was instituted by
the Apostles, though some later writer's as
sert that it was not established till the sec
Sond or third century. 1t appears to have
been certainly made obligatory as early as
the year $50. In the Roman Catholic
Church the nature of the fast is prescribed
by rule. Only one meal day is allowed,
and at this the use of flesh meat is prohib-
tied, the precept of fasting always implying
abstinence from flesh. A slight rejection
may, however, be taken morning and even

WONDERFUL CorNcIDENcE.-The literary
editor of The journal has made most won
derful discovery-of the fact ''which," he
says, "all should remember that the snake
flag in Charleston was ingloriously degrad-
ed and expelled from Charleston on So
Pafrfcks Day in the morningi" The Italics
are The Journals. The learned and patriotic
editor proceeds: "Honor to the Saint who
expelled the vile reptiles from Ireland =
and honor to the brave boys who, on his
natal day, sent the Kissing viper out Of
Charleston! ERIN Go BRAGHw
According to the s. ass .toot editor of The
Journal, st. Patrick's Day comes now at
least month earlier than it has done for
centuries past. But, perhaps this eloquent
passage about the coincidence of the taking
OF Charleston with the day Of Ireland's
patron Saint, got into The Journal by
typographical error" If so, we await
the courteous editors explanation. T

Der of Union prisoners were released by the

IN Camp Lamb, about one mile from the

tai character, and for. three days preceding
the evacuation they had not received a
mouthful to eat. The citizens had endeav-
ored to feed them, but the food was taken
away by the officer in charge. They pre-
sented most sickening spectacle; many of
