The Overland Route TO be kept Open
Important Order from General
DndYe.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-The Trib~ne's st.
Louis special says: Gen. Dodge has is
sued an important order respecting travel
on the Overland Mail Route, providing
for the organization of emigrant companies
going West, at Fort Kearney or Fort
Riley, who will go armed in companies OF
one hundred, and sent forward in charge
of an escort, prohibiting struggling teams
and placing the travel under military DIS
cipline at all times. The Overland Mail
is to be so protected as to insure Its safety
by escorts running from one military post
to another. Breaks in the telegraph line
must be at once reported and repaired
Sudden dashes of Indians are to be no
cause for stopping or turning back OF the
mails, as the moment Indians are driven
off they can be pushed through. The
mail stations through the country where
Indian difficulties exist should be placed
within protecting distance OF military
posts. .
Grants Forces Under Marching Or
ders-I.cc Cannot Move WIthOut
Grant Following.
New. YORK, Feb. 2S.-The CONNER
calls correspondent from Hatcher's Run'
February 18th, says: We are now under
marching orders, having received instrue-
tons to be ready to move at moments
notice. We expect to have another tut
for the possession of the Southside rail-
road. Look for a heavy engagement.
That something is going on in the lines IN
front of us, is very evident. l do not be-
lieve Lee is going to retreat, though de-
serters are now coming in in greater num-
bers than ever. They report that he Is
preparing to fall back to Danvillc. Lee
could not fall back to overwhelm Sher-
man without having Grant laundering
close to his rear in less than six hours
Richmond papers Frautic-CRIl upon
Davis TO Arm the Slnves-Capturc
Of 100000 Bales of Cotton by Gen.
sherman.
The Richmond papers are more frantic
| than ever.
The Enquirer calls upon jeff. Davis to
arm the slaves without the authority OF
law. 1t says that these States and this
cause stand to-day in need of man who
will take the power of the people and use
it for their preservation. Farther on it
says that Sherman is rushing through the
Carolinas like an avalanche.
A report says: He has captured l0O,-
900 bales of cotton at Columbia.
Grant is gradually, perhaps, surely, ex-
tending his lines around Petersburg and
Richmond, and threatens every moment
to burst over the lines that intervene. and
the Senate are doing the conservative.
History furnishes no parallel to this.
Shcrman's Recommendations will
make u Junction with General
! SchO1eld.
Though rebel papers are silent regard
ing Sherman'S whereabouts, enough is
dropped to show that he was, some days
since; within easy marching distance OF
! Fayetteville. situated on Cape Fear river,
100 miles northwest of Wilmington.
Water communication is interrupted be-
tween the two places at all seasons, and
! IS now.
| Our latest advices from Porter said he
was pushing up the river as rapidly as
possible with his gunboats. 1t is pro-
babIe that a junction of Schofelds forces
with Thomas may take place at Fayette-
vile. One of the largest arsenals in the
South is established there.
Bragg has taken his Wilmington force
to Goldsboro', followed by Terry.
We heard nothing from the force re-
ported by the enemy to be marching from
Newbern, though the fact that the troops
brought East by Gen. Meagher were some
time since landed at Newbern, indicates
movement sooner or later from that
point. ...........

New YORK, Feb. ga letter pub.
lished in the Richmond papers, from Gen.
e.al Lee. says an army of negroes is not
only expedient but necessary, as he does
not think the white population can supply
the necessities of long war.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 23d has
an article urging the arming of negroes,
and declares that the war was begun by
the Gulf States in opposition to the wishes
of the Border States. The Gulf States
rejected the advice, and hurried Virginia
and other Border States to bear the weight
of the war they never desired. After
mentioning the ruin and devastation of the
Border States, it says the tide is now roll
! ing toward, those States who made the
fight, who affirmed success or universal
destruction they by whom the first blow
was struck are the first to desert those
whose breasts have thus far received the
fury of the storm raised by others. On
Monday the compact of mutual support
was broken; bills to appropriate slaves so
as to secure an honorable existence, were
also defeated in the Senate, chiefly by the
vote of the Gulf States. .. .- .-

MEMPHIS, Feb. 24.-The Bulletin of this
morning says the rebel leaders lately
issued orders to have all detachments OF
their troops in West Tennessee, together
with such conscripts as they have gathered,
sent South without delay. We have rea-
son to believe a large portion of the rebel
forces lately about Memphis have already
gone. Their destination issaid to be Mo-
bile.
