a case of genuine and praise worthy
patriotism, as follows:
Michael Conroy, a native of Ireland,
who has served three years and four
months as u private soldier nthe army,
(over one year in rebel prisons) was
mustered out day before yesterday, re-
ceived his pay, and with it in the form
ofthe Paymaster's check, presented
himself to the Provost Marshal-Capt.
Nesbit-desiring tore,cnlist for another
year He soon procured Committee
who desired his "credit," at local
bounty ofS525, which he accepted, and
was Immediately examined and mus

lyear. -|t..-
But this is not all "that shows the
stuff this soldier is made Of" He hand
cd over to Captain Nesbitt all his pay,
just received for former service, all his
bounty, and $50 out of the S33 33 re-
ceived after he went TO the Barracks
as part of his government bounty, to
be invested by the Captain in Govern
ment Bonds, to be forwarded to his
wife and little ones, residing in Miami
Township, Green County, Ohio. The
amount by this soldiers investment,
buys a 81 900 bond.

an humble ono;
I'VE met recently with q gentleman
from the country, who, in 1861 was a

But haven negro worth q cent on

anothcr, I'm humble, not on tho Uri-
ah ITccp style, but really humble
IIumli0tcd in the dust, to think that
| once gave my influence to drag
Tennessee into rebellion against Gov
ernment that ever afforded me pro-
lection, and never did me an injury.
~ am truly penitent; not u bit of
the rebel is left in me. rather think

gladly, to heal tho wounds of my
country and restore her prosperity
and happiness, and will add, were |

The Latest News.

says lg
The military news this morning is Of
great Importance. All suspense in re.
gard to Sherman is removed. He has
been hoard from officially. On the Sth
inst, he was at Laurel HilI North
Carolina, thirty miles from Fayette-
willie, and scventy.scven miles from
Raleigh. There is q railroad from
Wilmington to Laurel Hill, but it is
not likely Sherman would remain
there, as the Importance Of a speedy
junction with Schofield's ar ny would
bo recognized, unless Johnston was
known not to DO within supporting
distance Of Bragg. No particulars of
Shermans expedition are given, but he
tclcgraphs Secretary Stanton that I'VE
havo done finely" This expression
disposes Of the bravado Of tho Rich
mond papers, by which the dc.
struction Of his armysswas 30 often
predicted. 1t will appear, no doubt
that he met with no opposition of con.
sequence, and the only conclusion that
can be drawn from this is that it wcs
not in the power Of tho encmy to resist
him. They could haveaffordcd almost
any risk to defeat Sbc mans army
They would have rsked much unques
tionably; but they were powcrless.
and this being the case, what can they
oxpcct when our combined armies
shall move against Richmond, which
has now but single line Of railroad to
rely npon for supplies? Leo must
either leave Richmond or perish there.
Sherman's march through tho Carroll.
mas has accomplished even more than
his march through Georgia. Besides
the moral effect, it caused tho cvacua.
tlon of Charleston, and contributed to
the fall Of Wilmington The cbicct Ct
the march, however is not yet fully
accomplished, but tho final stage in the
game, which has already doubtless
been entered upon, to all appearances
is almost certain OF success

counts. Tho river is now between our
forces and tho enemy.
Our reports from Washington state
that Sheridan hns joined Grant on the
north side OF the James. This would
open tho gate to the Shenandoah Val
ley again, if it can be said to be open.
with the railroads destroyed, The ir.
ference is that Lee, in this event
would send an army in that direction
pnt he has no army to send unless he
goes himself. Perhaps Grant would
not object to this. 1t may be that he
opened tho way purposcly to invite
him northward. But it is not posi-
tively known that Sheridan has joined
Grant, There is report that he had
captured Lynchburg This, however
Is not probable. A Union citizen whc
escaped from Richmond, having left
there Sunday, states that Sheridan
operations caused the greatest con
stcrnation in the city. He says Shcr
idan had cffectually destroyed til,
James River Canal to within fltccr
miles of Richmond, and that an aqnc
dnctiwhich he blew up cannot bo re.
paired in six months.
