trance.
The rebels intend purchasing small

The Richmond Wings East Tennessee
correspondent says: Many rebel soldiers
are falling into the hands of the enemy's
scouts. Sixty-seVen of the North Carolina
Home Guards were recently captured near
Taylorsville. No resistance was made.
The rebel reserve forces along the noun
tsins, this correspondent says, do not seem
to amount to much, as they are continually
gobbled up.
Much dissatisfaction exists among grain
growing Shareholders at the order conscrip
ting 60 many of their negroes for service
and it seems cruel to remand the free slaves
left out Of the vast number they held two
years since. Since this demand was made,
st least three quarters of the regroes have
gone over to the enemy. The Farmers are
now without the means of cultivsting their
farms.
The enforcement of the conscription
act in East Tennessee has placed 10000
fighting men in the federal army who
would otherwise have been at home good
citizeus. Probably 1000 men we're dragged
into the Confederate service VINO have gem
orally proved a nuisance to the Govern
ment.

Foreign mails had the following:
The Nord says there was meeting Of
the Privy Council on the 4th in Paris and
we arc informed that affairs of the Ameri-
ca and the connection they may have with
the Mexican Expire formed the principal
object of the meeting.
France is not without some uneasiness as
to the attitude the United States may as
sumo toward the new Empire when the
conclusion Of the war has placed at the dis
posal of the Republic large and tried ar
my with numerous and skilled officers, and
four years struggle has changed state
hitherto exclusively devoted TO commercial
and maritime interests into military state
disposing of immense forces.
The recent resolution of the Washington
Senate must have assisted in increasing this
uneasiness. Nevertheless, according 70 our
correspondent, the discussion in which the
privy council was engaged ended in this
resolution, that for the moment, it would
be wrong to give way to exaggerated fears,
and that in the face of the pacific and con-
cilistory assurances which American di-
plomacy continues to give, the best course
to adopt is to abstain Professionally from
all movements, without however, indulg-
ing in q false security.

NEW YoRK, Feb. 20.
We have nothing later this morning re-
1arding General ShermAn's success.
The Richmond Examiner Of the l1th
hss some particulars of the reported fight
between Fitzpatrick and Wheelers cavalry
on the 18th inst, ct Aiken, on the rail-
road leading from BranehVille to Au-
gusta, and about eighteen miles frem the
latter place.
The Examiner reiterates previous rebsl
statements that Fitzpatrick was driven
back distance Of about i've miles, and
gives as reason for not continuing tbs
pursuit the exhaustion Of their ammuni-
ton.
It Is claimed that number Of Union sol
diers were captured in the affair.
The W1ig says there was nothing st the
War Department 10 verify the reported
defeat of Fitzpatrick.
The rebels now estimate the entire
number of Shermsn's forces, operating in
the interior Of South Carolina at only
10000.
The Richmond R1iS Of the 18th says
all that it could learn on enquiring as the
War Department was that Sherman HA8
somewhere but it was not known where.
The Columbia Guardian Of the 18th an
nounces the burning Of the village Of Al
lendAle.
The Wilmington CaroIiBiG,t intimates
that an important movement is going on,
which is supposed to be evacuation.
The same paper says that considerable
Yankee force landed in the vicinity Of
Little River, supposed to break the Man
chester railroad.
The Richmond Ezaminer says the force
landed at Newburn is greatly exaggerated.
Only few Yankees have IS yet landed
there.
The Mobile Register says the Southern
people are not whipped but coWed. Their
souls, and not their hands are. disrAmed.
Our strength is not Hsspped," but our
courage is oozing out st our finger ends
The Columbis, s. O., CaroIiSiGB says:
The appointment Of General Hampton to
the command of such divisions as those Of
Generals Butler and Young is an earnest
of success. He ia once more at the head OF
the men he has 50 often led to victory on
Virgins helds-the men on whom both
the country and himself can depend, and
we may, therefore, look for repetition Of
the gsliantry which hss been bullitined
fiom every battle in which they have had
place. Though that Hampton Is Ia the
saddle, the cooperation Of General john
ston, who, although for the present behind
the scene, does not withhold bis skill and
experience whenever demanded. Together
with scores of other facts Of an eneourag-
ing character, which should not be pub
lis6ed, ara events that may well give our
people crest joy.
The Lync6burg Republican, says: The
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, it Is
thought, will be open for travel to Bristol
by the first of March. Repairs are being
puahed onward with unusual energy. Some
idea of the magnitude Of the work to b
done may be formed from the statemsnt
that all the bridges, fifty or sixty in num-
Der, for distance Of eighty-fve miles, have
to be rebuilt and much OF the track relaid,
beside other repairs to be made Ct mincG

that deserters are coming in constantly, and
more numerous than for long time. They
have been arriving at the rate of over sew
enty day for the past week, among them
several eficers.
The utmost despondensy prevails through
their ranks since the late fight, and
they seem determined to keep the field no
longer, as they claim they can never gain
their independence, and see no reason why
they should remain and be all killed. They
also say that dese1ting is 30 general to the
rear of their own lines, that Lee has issued
an order to arrest every man found half q
mile away from his camp or post. One
man said his company was thirty strong 8
week ago, but that fifteen had disappeared
since, ten to the United States and five TO
their own homes. Many of the deserters
bring in their arms with them.
A flag Of truce appeared in front Of the
I'd Corps on Saturday, asking for the bodies
of some rebel officers killed in the late bat
tie at Hatcher's Run. Their request was
finally granted, and their bodies were con.
veyed 70 the rebel lines.

FT. LARMIE, July 27.--0ne thousand Indi4
ans OF various tribes attacked Platte Bridge
station, on the Telegrapbic Road, on Tues
day. The garrison numbered less than $50.
The 6ght lasted two days, and resulted in a
heavy loss to the Indians. Loss on our side,
Lieutenant Collins and one enlisted man ol
the | lth Ohio Cavalry; twenty-five men OF
the ! lth Kansas killed and nine wounded
The Indians reiterated West, tearing .:doWn
the telegraph poles and destroying the wire.
A note WAS picked up on the battle field,
written by a white prisoner. recently cap
tured on the South Platte, which says the
Indians do not want peace, but are fighting
for all time; that we had killed one Of their
chiefs ia a fRht, and they are going to destroy
the telegraph and that they expected rein-
forcemenis. ~ 'il4fa tt1!
The body Of Lieutenant Collins was hor-
ribly mutilated; bis hands and feet we're cut
of, his throat cut, his heart torn ont, he was
scalped and had over one hundred arrows in
him.
There seems not the slightest disposition
on the part OF the Indians for peace, which
can only be obtained by severely Furnishing
them. One OF the Powder River columns is
now moving 70 join the force from Platte
Bridge, which is following the Indians. II
is stated all troops intended for the Indian
expedition would have been in the 6eld long
ago, had not the contractors failed to deliver
supplies according to the terms Of their con
tract
