sherman,s Army Moving towards
Charleston.

The Richmond Examiner OF January
9th says
nUwhile General Grant, from policy or
the force of circumstances, remains
quiet within his entertainments, on the
banks of the James, his coadjutors,
Sherman and Thomas, keep their troops
In motion and bid fair to throw the
Lieutenant General into the shade, and
monopolize the popular honors- which
the Yankees so lavishly bestow upon
their military heroes, 1t seems to be
well ascertained that large portion Of
SAermqa's army IS adgaRcitg 10 the direction
Of Charleston but whether his purpose is
to attempt the capture of that city, or
move towards Branchville, cannot be
ascertained until he reaches the Comba-
hee river. The Charleston and Savan-
nah Railroad extends in a westerly di-
rection from Savannah to the Comba-
hee Lffty-four miles,, and thence to
Charleston in a line almost due east,
about fifty miles. The South Carolina
Railroad from Charleston to Augusta
runs from Charleston to BranChyille, 81
miles in a northwesterly direction, so
that Branchville is due north of Salt
ketCher's bridge the point at which the
Charleston and Savannah road crosses
the Combahee,
II Sherman forces his way to this
river he can move either towards
Charleston fifty miles, or Branchville,
due north, forty miles; and in case OF
any disaster or reverse can fall back to
Broad river above Beaufort, under the
cover Of the Yankee gunboats If the
railroad from Charleston to Branchville
| is kept intact, Shermans purposes
whatever they may be, will probably be
thwarted, and we shall not be surprised
to hear any day that Fitzpatrick has been
sent forward to cut it, provided Sher.
mans infantry are not encountered and
driven back west Of the Cambahee, Al
last accounts they were moving to-
wards Grahamville which is twenty
miles from the river
Dispatches from Charleston, S, C..
January 8, say that gentleman from Sa'
vannah reports Sherman as sending the
Seventeenth corps round to Beaufort t
cooperate with Fosters troops between
PocotaHgo and Coosawatchie,

RoUGH ON THE ENGL1sHMRN.-Not long
since shrewd Yankee came to Boston
from New Hampshire to engage in bust
ness. His FIST engagement was to drive
q hack for the accommodation of visit
ors at that fashionable and elegant no
tel, the Revere House. He was soon put
in charge of two English gentlemen,
who desired to see Boston and its envi-
rons. After brief visit to the navy
yard they ordered the driver to take
Them to Bunker Hill Arriving there
the TWO gentlemen spent much time in
making thorough examination of the
ground and its surroundings. Having
satlshed their curiosity so FAR as the
monument was concerned, they returned
to the hack, where they found the dri-
yer sitting quietly upon his seat. 81
