New YORK, March S.-The Herald's
Wilmington correspondent, writing on
the 23d, says they have there contirma-
tion of previous reports that Gen. Sher-
man has reached Cape Fear river, North
Carolina 1t is said that he had struck
that stream 60 miles above Wilmington,
previous to the 1st inst, thus complete
ly spelling the rebel plans for effecting a
concentration against him, and forcing
him to give battle in the vicinity OF
Goldsboro, at which point they expected
to have a combination of advantages in
their favor, which would insure his de-
feat
The Wilmington Journal, in its issue
lust previous to the occupation of the
town by the National forces, admitted
that Sherman's movements, If he was not
soon checked, might have the effect Of
compelling Lee to abandon Richmond
and Petersburg.
The Herald's City Point dispatches say
it is positively known that on the oath
of February, Sherman was at Camden, D
c., on Wahine river, little over iVO
miles south of Fayetteville, on Cape Fear
river, which town, ii was believed, he
has before now reached.
There were rumors in the Army of the
Potomac OH Sunday last, that Sherman
had defeated Johnston in a heavy battle
and captured 1900 prisoners.
The Herald's 5th corps correspondent,
writing on the 9th, says it is reported
that for some weeks past large numbers
of negroes have been at work throwing
up Notifications along the banks of the
Roanoke river Several months since,
many old and experienced officers sur
missed that if Lee was compelled to fall
back from his present position, he would
form new defensive line along that
stream. The country is admirably adapt
ed for the purpose, and the river will
add considerable to the difficulties which
an attacking column would have to over
come. Siege guns from Petersburg and
Richmond have been sent off in that di-
rection via the Danville railroad, and
many things seem to indicate that his
army will soon be en- route for some

Manly Men.

The New York Commercial AdTertiser,
conservative but candid paper, says the
following sensible things about the edemean-
or of the late slaves:
Certain snobs of the Southern press write
chronic complaints that the negroes, in
place of showing thankful, humble dis
position for their freedom, assume airs of
equality, and no longer take the gutter
when passing white men. These complaints
go far towards establishing the claims of
equality of races, and certainly prove that
emancipation came not day too soon.-
The eolored people would be unfit for free
dom if they still presehtea the cFinging
attitude of slaves. For our part, we never
fully appreciated the life services of
Abraham Lincoln until we had connected
the manly bearing of colored people on
the ferry-boats, in the railway cars, and in
the streets, with his policy The negroes
may, perhaps, be somewhat e1travagant
| in their demonstrations at their too long
/ deferred freedom. But much may be par
doned to men who find themselves for the
first time in possession Of themselves, ,theil
wives, children and earnings. The only
wonder is that they stood the wrong SC
patiently and take the redress SO quietly
Under the circumstances they would not
be wholly inexcusable if their headi
touched the stars and their tread shook thC
armament.

army, is to lead to the altar charming
daughter of General Preston, of Kentucky.
The San Antonio Herald, of the 26th ult7
in speaking of the departure of General
Hocd for Washington, says:
1t is understood that General Hood is
very solicitous to ascertain from Mr.. Da-
Wis, in person, answers to certain ques-
tions involving facts fatally connected
with the last days of the attempt
at revolution, and concerning which there
will be much conflicting opinion when
the future historian shall undertake to re-
cord the momentous events which trans
pired in and around Richmond at the close
os the war, and which necessarily involve
the reputation Of some of the leading
spirits of the revolution. 1t is General
Hoods present intention to make Texas
his bone.
