srRrkE TIE s. c. RAILROAD.

On the 9Th heavy column Of Yankee IN
faptry struck the South Carolina railroad at
Grahamsville, about 8 miles west of Branch
vile, while Fitzpatrick, with a cavalry force,
occupied Blackvilie, OF the same road, about
miles a little northwest of Grahamsville. A
portion of Sherman's column, it was reported
yesterday, moved forward, crossing the South
Edisto, and fankiag Branchville on the west.
This force then advanced to Orangeburg, on
the Columbia and BranchviIle road, I8 miles
west of the latter point. Oraugeburg IS a
beautiful village of about 1000 inhabitants,
and mas been a favorile retreat of refugees
from Charleston. 1t was largely engaged in
the manufacture of Indigo, before the war.
The Worlds Hilton Head correspondent of
the 8th says:
Reliable information has been received here
that Sherman's army is rapidly marching on
the line of the Edisto River, aud that por-
tion of his troops are beyond the Georgia and
South Carolina Railroad, where they have
erected defenees, preparatory TO future march.
The enemy have disappeared rapidly before
the advance of our troops, and they have man
ifested q purpose to evacuate nearly all their
stroDghoids, and retreat further North This
purpose has been the result of Shermaus tac-
ties. That their retreat will be slowly but
surely followed up, admits of no question:
Our troops are known TO extend over dis
tanee of forty miles, and for several days past
they have been occupied is destroying all the
railroads which connect South Carolina with
the Gull and the Northern States.
The object would seem to be to isolate
Branchville, Augusta, and Charleston from all
possible aid or reinfOrcements, in order 10 cap
ture the garrison Of each city. This import
ant work will doubtless be completed when
this letter reaches you. Some of our troops
are north of Charleston, which is cut of from

have forced the able bodied negroes to leave

We publish on the first page the material
portions Of the message recently transmitted
to Congress by the President, on the subject
of the late peace conference. 1t will be seen
that the President laid down three conditions
which were to form the basis of negotiation
the conditions being the territorial integrity
of the Union, no Feiceding from the position
heretofore assumed in reference to slavery, an
no cessation of hostilities till the rebels lay
down their arms and disband their armies
The rebel commissioners having come to de-
mand recognition of their independence as
the condition of peace, Of course the negotia-
tion failed to accomplish any ything. Those who
feared the dignity or rights of the country
would he compromised by the proposed con-
ference, now discover that their fears were
groundless. The public interests were per-
fectly safe in the hands our worthy President,
and if the rebels expected to make capital out
of the conference they have been wofully dis
appointed.

The leading traitors congregaied at R'ch-
mond have been holding a rOusiDg war meet
ing, at which all manner of valiant talk was
indulged insnd numerous feroeious resolutions
passed. They again resolved to achieve their
independence at all hazards and any cost, and
called loudly upon every man to rally and if
necessary TO die in the last ditch These fel-
fighting and dying, and # war talk from them
would have secured the success Of the rebellion,
their independence would long since have been
accomplished. Davis was one of the speakers,
and reiterated his determination to listen to no
terms that did not secure the independence of
the Confederaey.

OHIO LEGIsLATURE.-We notice nothing i'm
portant in the proceedings of this body the
past week. Several bills of public interest
have passed one branch but have not been def
initely acted upon by the other. The Senate
has passed stringent bill to prevent horses,
mules, cattle, sheep, goats, swine or geese
from running at large. It will probably pass
the House also, and result in abating great
nuisance. A bill is pending in the House, in
troduced by Mr.. Delano. making provision
for dsposing of the land scrip received from
the general Government to aid in the estab-
lishment Of an Agricultural College. No
bill has yet passed both branches making pro-
vision for paying bounty to volunteers, and
the prospect of a bill of the kind b eing passed
does not appear to be very promising.

Hon. THes. II. Hicks, Q nite1 States Sen
atOr from Maryland, died at Washington last
Monday. He was Governor of the State at
the time the rebellion broke out, and acted an
important part in keeping ber true TO the
Union cause and in ef1acing from her escutch-
con the foul blot of Slavery. In the trying
days of April 1861. when the City of Balti-
more was in the hands of the secession mob,
and Union soldiers were assaulted and slain
in her streets, Influenced by the pressure of the
reasonable elements that surrounded him,
Gov. Hicks for moment faltered, but the
relapse was very brief, and was amply atoned
for by continued and ardent devotion to the
cause of Union and Freedom up to the hour
Of his death. Ia his decease the State
loses one of her oldest and hest citizens and
the country an honest statesman and a sterling
patriot.

The little State of Delaware thus far stands
alone in rejecting the proposed Constitutional
amendment aboIishing slavery-aud, save per-
haps Kentucky, no State outside of rebeldom
is more directly interested than is Delaware
in its adoption. With only slavery enough
20 insure the disadvantages OF the system, with
out being able to realize any of the advanta-
ges claimed for it in the Gulf States, they still
nurture and cherish it with as much tenacity
as do the inhabitants of South Carolina
The position of the State during the pending
struggle, her present attitude in regard to the
amendment, her semi-rebel Legislature and
Congressional delegation lorcibIy illus
trates how thoroughly even the small
est infusion of the treason breeding virus
of slavery penetrates and pervades the entire
body polite in any community in which it
gains foot-hold. The shareholders of Del
aware are hardly 10 the proportion of one to
a thousand Of the voters, and yet they fill all
the important offices, absolutely control the
destinies Of the State, and now have arrayed
her against a measure that if her true in
terests were regarded should instead of meet
ing determined opposition be confirmed by
the unanimous voice of her people.
