broken up by the military.

dispatches, who left Sherman's army ten
miles from Branchville, has arrived

over to James Island, captured some rifle
pits and quite number ofprisoners after
brief skirmish.
At the time the Arago passed Charles
ton vigorous cannonading was going on,
but its character had not been ascer-
tanned. ....
The Herald's special says the Richmond
papers of the 10Th announce that tele-
graphic communication with Charleston
was broken, and that Sherman's cavalry
was probably operating on the railroad
from Charleston via Raleigh and VIII
mington, thus cutting the last line Of
communication between Virginia and the
South. 80
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. l6.-A special to
the Evening Bulletin says: Richmond
papers of the 9th indicate that Sherman's
advance cavalry was actually as far north

railroad communication with Charleston,
which has been destroyed, thus showing

struck the northwestern railroad running
from Charleston to Florence" r4s-a
NEW York, Feb. l7.-Sherman's left
wing was, on Monday, fifteen miles north
Of Branchyille and within fifty miles Of
Columbia. His right was in front Of
Charleston, two miles distant, threatening
it. On the next day TUESDAY LAST it
was indicated by the Richmond papers
that his cavalry had reached the north
eastern railroad, thus severing the last re-
naming link between Charleston and the
rebel capital. His troops are also believed
to be in the vicinity of Florence-an i'm
portant point for conveyance and COM
munication between South Carolina,
Georgia and Virginia. o.
The rebel papers admit that there is
nothing to stop Sherman's army, and ex-
pect that the national flag will soon be
floating over Charleston, Augusta, Co.
