1t will he observed that the locality of the
Sgh; is not named in hc..dispatch. This is
for prudential reasons. Sherman has no
communication with the North, aud il would
be imprudcnt to publish where he was, as it
vould be giving word to Grant Of his pro-
gccSs.

better ii,r us in the South. In the last three
days we have had news Of two victories: one
in North Carolina, and one in South Caro-
lima.
We alluded in our last issue to move
ment which was being made for the purpose
Of rccapturing our prisoners who We're taken
from Early in the recent fight near Waynes-
boro, and who were being conducted under
guard To Winchester. The following official
dispatch tells of it: ...--.
