and majority voted for his expulsion,
but failing to get two-thirds vote he
was not expelled. We presume he has

From Gen. Sherman.

The steamer Cahawba, from Hilton
Head, brings intelligence of highly
gratifying success attending thus far
the opening of the campaign in South
Carolina. One portion of Sherman's
army moved direct from Savannah
Ca, and others, consisting of the goth
Corps, moved from Beaufort, S. c., and
were both rapidly advancing against
Charleston, S. G. The latest intelli.
gence from the army represents it to
be less than forty miles from Charles.

every point from every available posi-.
ton for defence. Forage and subsist.
ence were found in large quantities by
our soldiers, as they followed the re.
treating steps of the rebels.
The troops meet with some Difficult.
ty on account of the marshy nature of
the country between Savannah and
Charleston. One correspondent des-
cribes it as nothing but marshes and
spongy rice-fields. - 10 ~~..r
Gen. Foster was cooperating with
the army under Gen. Sherman, and
the movements of our troops through
out South Carolina are but the precur-
sors of far more terrible and disas-
trous campaign to the rebels.
The lines of Sherman were being
gradually contracted, and it was prob
able that no desperate resistance
would be made or battle offered until
our forces had reached within a few
miles of Charleston, where the main
body of the rebel forces would be con-
centrated to make one last terrible eff.
fort to save the State from the inroads
of Shermans conquering army.
