Of water, and trains will resume their regu-
lar trips for louisville, Cairo and 81. Louis,
and sill intermediate points, on and after

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Herald's cor
respondent Of the 4th, says that number
Of Union prisoners reached here yesterday
morning, who escaped from the cars while
being conveyed from Florence to Salisbury.
The rebels commenced removing the en-
tire body of prisoners as Sherman advanced
towards that point, and two or three hun
bred made good their escape. The rebel
guard were mostly boys Of from fourteen to
sixteen, and eighteen years Of age, and
we're lily able to bear the hardships of ser
vice, or meet the shrewdness or skill Of
veterans. Seven Of those that came in re-
port that they were first taken to Whining
ton, and as they were being removed from
thence TO Salisbury, they ELECTED their es-
cape on the ed Of February. They were
aided in resching our lines by Union men
and negroes.
The rebels are conscripting all the boys
they can find. Negroes are coming in by
drOves, being terrified by the prospect Of
the rebels taking them into their army.
They say If they must fight they would
rather light for the North.
NEv YoEK, March ga citizen arrived
here to-day direct from Goldsboro, having
come through all the way by the main
roads. He reports that he did not see
rebel soldier on the route. People in the
interior were unanimously Of the opinion
that the Confederaey is gone up. Negroes
were being gathered up at certain points,
and there was a great panic among that
class. Phswhites were equally dependent
for different reasons. It will be a relief to
them when sherman takes them out Of the
hands and bonds Of the COnfsderaey. l be-
lieYe if the North Carolina militia were
near our lines they would desert nearly en-
masse, and as for Longstreet, be is long
way of. The Union army is not such an
object Of hate to the North Carolina sol
diers in the rebel army as Beauregard and
JET Davis.
