thing. Bnt Capt Loper did nbt want to
make the acquaintance Of a jury.
In view Of these facts We may be paedoncd
for believing that there is not one word Of
truth in tho dispatch quoted above, until we
shall sec it confirmed over the signature of
Solicitor Whiting, or Senator Grimes, or
both. And If such confirmation shall not BE-
forthcoming, the public may inquire upon
what moral principles the Associated Press is
made an agency for whttewashfng scoundrcls
who hare been convicted, after patient inycs-
tigat3on, by the Senate Of the United StateE'
sHERM An IN NORTH CAROLINA.
sberman's arrival at Fayetteville, and juno
tion with Schodeld, has been indefinitely re-
ported through various sources, and is not yet
fully confirmed, but Is rendered probable by
ali the advices yet received. 1t will dtsap-
point the rebel expectation that he would
march yia Charlotte, Salisbury, Greensboro
and Danville. Whatever forces the rebel
Gen. Johnston, administrator Of the effects
Of the late Mr. Beauregard, may have collect
ed at Charlotte or Its vicinity are therefore
outfanled, and Gen. Johnston has the alter
native Of either falling back to get between
Sherman and Richmond, In which case sher-
man and Johnston would probably run race
for the rebel capital. or If he remains where
he is, he will haye the satisfaction OF seeing
Sherman mnrch across his line Of commnnt-
cation with Richmond separate him efectu-
ally from cooperation with Lee, who with
Johnston would be operating disconnected1y,
with smaller forces, on exterior lines, while
Giant and Sherman would operate with the
heavier armies, in conjunction, on interior
lines, and though the rebels are nov living
from "haud to mouth" would place them
selyes directly between the rebel hand and
the rebel mouth. If johnston should succeed
in throwing himself across Sherman's line Of
advance, Sherman may either fight him scpa-
rately or t;t1ank" him into Richmond as lie
flanked him from Chattanooga to Atlanta,
standing always ready to receive Johnston's
attack should the latter prefer to attack
Sherman in his position rather than retrcat.
1t is improbable that Johnston. who as the
rebels boast can beat the ycry devil at re-
treating, ,"~siu abandon his peculiar strategy
for the wild and ruinous frenzy Of Hood,
by attacking vastly superior force either In
front or on Its communications. Sherman
has already shown the rebels that he regards
all communications as sseyil " and tending
to " corrupt good manners.''
Whatever may hare been Sherman's force
heretofore, his junction With schodeld at
Fayetteville and the reinforcement under
Meaeher at Newbern, will probably bring his
fighting strength up to more than ono hun
dred thousand men. It remains to be seen
what Johnston can do against such force.
We have no data for placing the the rebel
force available to Johnston over one-third to
half that strength. If 80, all military opera
ions will soon converge toward Richmond.

Since Mfr. Etheridge bas publicly paradcd
his unenviah1e notorfety in the matter Of brib-
Ing servant ut the Executive Mansion, it
appears upon inquiry that he has srather noted
compansionship In the disgiaceful business.
Some weeks since, Mr.. ]. G, r Houghton
CAME TO Mr.. Nicolay, the Presidents private
secretary, with letters representing him to be
respectable and worthy citizen Of Canada,
who had urgent business with the Executive.
Finding he could not readily reach. the Presi-
dent without giving aonc idea as to what 1t
was, he stated enough to make 1t apparent
that IT connected itself with the cases Of the
| st. AlbaDs raiders; upon which he Vas In
formed that he could have no interview with
tue President, but must bring his application
before the SectetorY Of 9tste, whose especial
duty 1t was to hear and, consider all business
from citizens Of foreign countries with this
Government, -
But Houghton, Who happened to be the
agent or attorney, OF something Of the kiud,
OF the st. Adams criminals, ,consclonssthat fair
and open transactions would not avail him In
bis efforts to shield his employees or p1inci-
pals from the punishment due their guilt, also
rcsorted to bribery, and gave O'Leary, the
servant, five dollar gold piece (probably ono
OF The Identical ones stolen from the st. Al
bans bank) to assist him to an interview with
the President. The servant ushered him to
the Presidents presence but Houshton
gained nothing By the maunnyre, as the
President again politely sent him to tho Sec.
