- ARRIVAL OF RECRUITS,
The HeraEGs Army of the Potomac
special says that every train of cars from
City Point brings recruits for regiments
being filed to the maximum strength.
FROM SOUTHERN PAPERS.
The Richmond Examiner of the 21st
says The enemy are now getting all
available forces ready and preparing for 8
combined movement against Richmond
Sherman is advancing through South
Carolina, while Beauregard slowly retreats
before him toward Charlottesville. Foster
and some others, commanding Fosters
troops are making demonstrations with
heavy force on Roanoke and Neuse rivers,
eastward. Yankee forces in East Tennes-
see are crossing the mountains to take
Beauregsrd on the flank, while Gran
waits outside our Notifications for Sher-
mans appearance Richmond is safe if
all parties concerned, do their duty; that
is, if the new Secretary of War is energetic,
and if new commissaries shall be found to
have some ideas of food Especially if
Congress proceed, without legislation, to
give Gen. Lee control OF large number
of negroes.
The Whig says: To accomplish anything
decisive, Sherman must continue his march
through the country. By taking the great
railroad which centres at Charlottesville,
GreenborO and Danvilie. We should not
be too much surprised to hear, that from
Columbia he has marched on Charlotte,
and possessed himself of that place; but
then dangers begin to thicken around
him.
The Dispatch says The Senate bill to
raise 100000 negro soldiers will, it is un-
derstood, be passed to-day in secret session.
A similar bill was passed in secret session
in the House yesterday.
The Raleigh Confederate says: The
standards ofprogress are making all the
clamOr that is being made in North Caro-
lima, while there are at least dozen of
political papers in the state of opposite
opinion.
The Sentinel says; A vote was taken
in Ricketts, division, on the question o.
negroes in the rmy, and re-
suited in very large majority in favor of
the measure.
The Dispatch and Enquirer have srti-
cles favoring tho movement.
The rebel Ser ate on the goth found a
bill abolishing the ofics of all Provost
not within the lines of the armies
in the field.
The House passed resolution that dur
ing the remainder of the session no mem
beI shall speak more than once nor longer
than ten minutes on any question, except
by unanimous consent of the House.

FROM THE ARMIES.

The TFi51ptSs Army of the Potomac
special of the 22d says: This evening the
report came from the front of the 9th
Corps that the enemy showed some sign
of leaving that point of their lines, and
moving to the right. They have begun
their movement tonight, which may mean
an attack on our left, or movement tow

From deserters who came in to-day, it is
learned that part of Hills corps is under
orders to move.
REBEL NEWS.
The Tribune has the following from the
Richmond Enquirer of the 22d: ..
Tho progress VI oHsrmRH TurUugH South
Carolina, almost unopposed, and the fail
of Columbia without the slightest resis-
tance, swiften the enemy's move
ments, and the apparent outgenersl-
ing of the Confederate commanders has
created very serious apprehensions on the
part of the public as to the military condi-
ton Of that State. What the purpose and
plans of Besuregard was has not even
been permitted to leak out. His
prompt but energetic evacustion of
Columbia, may indicate great weakness
Or may be part strategy, the success of
which will give back sll which was lost.

Mr.. Chief Justice Ohase's first opinion
at racted unusual attention from the bsr.
Ittwas on a subject Of national, and indeed
of international importance. It touched q
point never yet decided by 8 high tribu-
nal, and went against uniform presump-
tions that had almost acquired the force Of
law.
Itis hardly necessary to say that ths
lawyers were delighted. The cogeney Of
the reasoning was matched by the con-
densed Vigor Of the style, and both gave
ample promise of restoration of the best

The SlaHs,s Return.

We wonder why some one d)n't write
novel, giving it the above title and making
Captain Robert Small the hero? Such col
ored hero would throw Uncle Tom quite into
the back ground. 1t will be remembered by
our readers that this negro slave performed
great feat in the spring of 1882, when he es-
capped from slavery on board the rebel steamer
the Planter. Since the fall of Charleston he
has returned to it under most favorable cir
cumstances. He returns free and wealthy
man whose name is des lined to live longer in
memory than many Southern aristocrats who
once belonged to the chivalry. fsal
Heis captain of the Planter, and recently
navigsted her up the harbor of Charleston and
by Sumter with three flags flying in the pure
breezes of heaven. He had as passengers Gen.
Saxton, Maj Saxton, the brother of General
Howard, some officers of Sherman's army,
Judges Cooley and Worden, and many others.
The Captains face beamed with smiles and
he managed his steamer with grea tact and
politeness. The Planter has been reftted
since Small ran away with her, at an expense
Of $4,000 She is now beautiful vessel, and
well may her colored commander feel proud
of her. What pleasing sensations must have
thrilled his heart whea he rounded UP to

such circumstances. but leave that TO some

aSanatoru Hunters Psrnlexitz.

The rebel Senator Hunter has lately made
a speech in the august body to which he be-
longs, on the question of enrolling the me-
groes, in which he said that he should give
his vots for the measure, but he did it under
protest. The fact is significant enough of tie
straits to which the rebel government" is re-
duced; but 1t is evident from the speech that
Mr. Hunter agrees with the pithy saying of
Liberals, that she who would have wool must
shear his sheep, not fay them" He thinks
that the great black sheep, on which he and
his confreres have been accustomed to subsist,
will be far more productive if subjected to an
annual fleeing on the plantation than II, Tor
the sake of his present value in the shambles,
he be deprived forever Of his wool-bearing
qualities. 1t is proceeding quite too much
like killing the goose that laid the golden
eggs, TO suit his better judgment.
But Mr.. Hunter and his fellows may as well
save themselves all this anxiety and discus
sion. The desperate measure they are bent
on can no longer avail them. Though they
this "stone which the builders rejected" has
become in sense of which they never
dreamed, 1.-The head of the corner" yet the
time Is gone by when it could save their edi-
hce from crumbling. The negro may be rath.
er slow to learn, bnt he has at least been
taught one lesson by the events of tais war,
and that is that his own weight thrown into
either scale must give it preponderance and
success. Moreover, a life long experience has
shown him that no promise or obligation from
master to slave is held binding in the code of
the planters, and he naturally prefers to carry
his aid where there is some prospect of secur-
lag guild pro quo. He has been cheated so
often that he has grown tired of it, and does
not care to put himself in way to have the
tning repeated, 1t is melancholy prospect
for the Confederate leaders when they are
brought to declare that their onlv hona lies
in the arming of 100000 serfs who. thew sd.
init, will in all probability desert at the first
opportunity.

Fish as Food.

had made hearty dinner. Now fish alone
will not have this effect upon the system OF
man who is real beef-eater. He wants to
eat his fish and then stuff in roast beef which
produces the usual stimulus, and he feels sat
isfied.
Such is the. effect or eating meat, and the
stomach is so educated that stimulus is mis-
taken for nourishment In fish there is but
little less nourishment, pound for pound, than
there is in butchers meat. The soft fibre OF
fish is more easily digested than the muscle
that forms flesh. There is in fish also sub

vent scrofulous and tubercular diseases that
affiict these in the higher ranks of life. 1t has
been proved by analysis that the solid matter
of fish, that is, the matter which remains after
perfect desication or the expulsion of the
aqueous part, is very little inferior to meat,
game or poultry. That fish iaa health giving

the meat eater. The most healthy, robust and

is fish. Fishermen are proverbial for their
good health and strong constitutions. The

One of the handsomest girls we ever saw

aud heavens own blue shone in her eyes
But then size was fisherman's daughlsr, and
had never graced drawing-room, and yet in
such symmetrical form there could not be a
single awkward movement. There was none.
This girl could row boat, set a sail, catch q
fish, cook and eat it too. Portland has always
been celebrated for good fish market, and
this may account for the many handsome wo-
men who live in the Forest City, aud who Of
