The MILITARY situation.

Secretary Stanton telegrsphed, last
night. the following from General Grant.
enclosing an extract from the Richmond
Dispatch, AS Grants comments or coiu-
munications are withheld, and Stanton
sends the extract without comment, we
anay assume il partially endorsed. Ii
would seem, therefore, that the entire Con-
federate army under Johnston. Beaure-
gard, Bragg and Ilardee. have united and
interposed directly between Sherman and
Scbotield, after having at least severely
checked each Of them suecessively, The
situation is extremely critical. Cape Fear
River is navigable only with great difi-
Guilty; the express boat which carried dis
patches 30 aud from sherman, on his first
arrival at Fayetteville, having been pro-
tected from the Confederate batteries on
shore, by cotton bales. And in fact the
supplies Of clothing, de-, intended for him,
were shipped day before yesterday. from
Alexandria to Beaufort, N O., and not to
Wilmington. Sherman is near the Cape
Fear, on the west, and Schofeld near the
Keuse, on the east, the two rivers running
nearly parallel with each other, east by
south. Between these two rivers and ar
mics, within space Of sixty miles, st
most, is Johnston's whole force, with the
Greensboro. Raleigh and Goldsboro Rail
road to his rear, whence to draw supplies,
and all the different corps communicating
easily with each other A march of fiji
teen 10 twenty miles would enable john
ston to concentrate the greater part Of his
army, at any time, against either Sher-
man or Schofeld, and if Johnston were a
Napoleon, he could now essilyre enact the
Italian campaign OF 1896, though with
greater numbers than Napoleon marshalei.
Bragg's army numbered certainly 10000,
and Hardee's 10000, and supposing John
ston and Beauregard to have only 10000,
and adding Hampton's 10000 cavalry,
the numbers win reach 10000, without
reinforcements. The Richmond extract
says that no more fighting had occurred
from Sunday, the 10Th, upto Wednesday.
Further developments meantime will be
awaited with great anxiety. Gold rose
yesterday in New York from l471 to 155,
between / p. NJ. and the evening, and
closed at l5S4.

Hon. E. n Stanton, Secretary of War:
Richmond papers are received The fol-
lowing is from the Dispatch:
FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
1t is understood in official circles that no
fighting has occurred in North Carolina
since Sunday; and from all we can
learn, it appears that sherman has attempted
no advance since his check on that day -
General Hardee's victory on the 10th was
a very important one, and as regards the
enemy, a most bloody affair. Gen. Johnston
telegraphed that in that battle the Confeder.
ates loss was 450, while that OF the enemy 3.
300 The Gght took place at Averyboro, on
the Cape Fear river, half way between Ra-
leigh and Fayetteville. General Johnston s
defeat of the enemy on last Sunday, the 9th
inst, occurred at Bentonsville. We were in.
formed that Sherman is pushing toward Ra.
leigh in two columns one m owing due north
from Fayetteville, the other northwest from
Newbern. General Hardee fought the former

Old Folks Concert

Mr.. EDIToR:-The sold Folks" are not all
dead yet, as is proved by our excellent Con-
cert which was given at Stan dish on Wednes-
day of this week. Where these old folk all
come from, no body is supposed to know ex-
actly, but it is coDJectured that most OF them
come from the old town of Gorham.
The concert aforesaid came off in the old
meeting house and consisted of a choice sell
ecion Of the good old tunes, which the grand
sires and grandmothers sung, in the times of
the Revolution and whereabouts with the yiols
flutes and clarionets then in vogue and the
modern accompaniment of piano, which was
played by an old lady who had preserved her
youthful freshness and agility in a remarkable
manner.
After the concert the generous people Of
Standish invited their aged friends to sit
down to an antiquarian supper, which did
much credit to the good taste of the people,
and was heartily endorsed by thu guests
Everything passed off to the great satisfaction
of all concerned; and the receipts for tickets
sold when passed over to the worthy object to
which they are to be DEVOTED, viii do the re-
cipients as much good at least as the music
did to the delighted listeners
We are happy to learn that the same sold
people" will sing at Gorham next Wednesday
evening March 18th, with still better pro-
gramne. May we be there to hear-and you
too Mr. Editor. KS.

FEDERAL PRISONERS AT W1LMrNeroN

FEDERAL PRISONERS AT WILAIINGToN.-
"When Hoke's army evacuated this city, )" says
the correspondent of the New YORK World,
"some three hundred prisoners were left be-
hind, being too feeble to be removed" Their
appearance was absolutely shocking. They
were almost naked and entirely shoeless I;
many of them are hopeless idiots. Halt of
them will probably die. Some of them were
SO black and dirty that it was difficult to say
whether they were white men or negroes
Some have frozen hands and feet, while the
bodies ofothers were scorched in many places
from lying without blankets too near the pris-
on fires. These suffering prisoners speak in
strong terms OF indignation and wrath against
the Fifty fifth Georgia and the Fifth and the
Twenty fifth South Carolina regiments which
had them in charge. Our soldiers who ha We
seen these prisoners, have sworn vengeance
against the members of these regiments, and
ifby the fortunes of war, the latter ever fall
into their hands, not much mercy will be
shown them. 1t is pleasant to know that about
eight thousand prisoners are momentarily ex-
pected here for exchange.

Movements of Gen. Sherman.

g si1s s9gl PHILADELPHIA, March IL.
The Bulletins Washington dispatch says a
letter dated Wilmington March 9th, was re-
ceived here to day, in which it is stated in
positive terms that a scout from Sherman
army had reached Gen. Terry's head quarters
who left our forces in occupation Of Cheraws,
the terminus of the Cheraw g. Darlington
Railroad, and but very few miles from North
Carolina. Nothing but cavalry skirmishes
had taken place. s5g5s
The army had rested for some days, and
found very fair subsistence along the route.
The advance into North Carolina was GER
tainty. The scout started March 1st for
Newbern, but learning of the occupation of
Wilmington, he reached that place much
sooner. The source of this intelligence is
perfectly correct. 81. b d si.ll

The Chronicle says: Vice President johnson
appeared in the Senate yesterday in company
with his friend, Hon. Preston King of N. Y,
who is staying with him at the residence of
our hospitable fellow citizen, Francis P. Blair,
Senior. His health is entirely restored and he
was as cheerful as any man could be after
having recovered from SO severe an indisposi-
ton. We have no doubt that he will fully
justify the warmest anticipations of his coun-
trymen. During his stay in the Vice Presi-
dents room large number of Senators called
to pay their respects, and we observed with
much satisfaction that they were pleased to
see him so well,
