Interesting Rebel Accounts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-RichmOnd pa
pers of the 10th state that the enemy are
quiet in their intrenchments on Hatcher's
run. Throughout Tuesday night the rumb-
ling of wagons and artillery was heard on
Grants lines, in the neighborhood of Deep
Bottom. 1t was supposed Grant was trans
ferring a heavy body of troops to the north
side. This may be simply the return of
troops sent over to Petersburg to partici-
pate in the Hatcher's run affair.
1t was reported yesterday that our troops
were evacuating Wilmington. The report
is not confirmed, however, by official dis
patches. The Yankee papers state that Gen.
Terry is still near Fort Fisher and waiting
for Hoke. Hitherto the Yankee press rep
resented Terry about to march towards
Wilmington, with confident expectations
of taking it; but Fort Anderson has proved
a more effectual obstruction than they had
thought.
Gen. Baker is in command of our forces
at Goldsboro, and he had reason to believe
the enemy are concentrating at NewDern,
and they have material for repairing the
railroad from Newbern to Kinston. Scouts
who came into Kinston, on the night of
the llth inst, report Gen. Foster is in COM
mand at Newbern, and that 1000 Of the
18th army corps have arrived there, making
the number of troops at that post about
| 5000. 1t is reported and believed in Kinston,
| that the enemy have landed two locomo-
tives and twenty cars of railroad iron at
Moorehead city. 1t is not thought in
Kinston that the enemy design an early
movement in that direction.
| No official messages were received from
South Carolina yesterday. At last accounts
the enemy held Orangeburg, on the Colum-
| bia Branch railroad, and our forces were
| falling back. Our troops abandoned Branch
vile last Sunday night. Wheeler attacked
and whipped Fitzpatrick at Atkins s,driving
him back five miles.
The Augusta papers of last Wednesday
state that at that time Slocum was at Wind
ran. ten miles south of Aiken's, advancing
on Augusta, his right flank being protected
by the Edisto and his left by Kilpatrick's
cavalry. Two days after this Kilpatrick
was whipped by Wheeler.
Slocum has with him the 18th and 10th
corps. The l4th and Goth corps comprise
the force operating against Columbia and
Charleston. This leaves one corps of Sher-
mans unaccounted for. Wepresume 1t has
been lett at Savannah. BY latest advices
through Yankee papers, we learn that Sher-
man was still at his headquarters in Beau
fort.
Generals ID. Lee and Wade Hampton
recently appointed Lieutenant Generals
have been confirmed by the Confederate
Senate The promotion of Hampton make
him rank General Wheeler and puts him IL
command of our cavalry now operating
agaist Sherman. The best events may b.

Mr.. Pendleton objected to the second read-
ing of the bill. The question therefore re-
Cured on its rejection.
Mr.. Farnsworth said it was necessary to
have the road proposed. He pointed out
the fact that not one cent was appropriated
by the bill.
Mr.. Thomas, of Maryland, desired post
ponement Of the bill, and gave, among
other reasons, that the Legislature OF Mary
land, now in session, should have an oppor-
tunity of looking into the subject. Besides.
the bill was in conflict with the decision of
the Supreme Court Of the United States,
and in derogation of the rights of Maryland.
The e]egislation proposed was for the bene-
fit OF, the Northern Central railroad, and
would strike heavy blow at the Baltimore
q Ohio railroad.
The further consideration Of the subject
was postponed for ten days.
Mr.. Sehenck called up the bill amenda-
tory of the Enrolment act, pending which
the House adjourned.

Corruption In the Rebel Cabinet
Hoods Army-NegrOes EnlistinG
in the Rebel Army.

New YORK, Feb. 1S.-Late rebel papers
contain some very interesting disclosures
regarding corruption in jeff. Davis Cabi-
net, and give an insight into the causes of
it's recent dissolution. A committee of the
Richmond Congress has presented Mr.. Sed-
don, late War Secretary, as guilty Of gross
swindling, and Richmond journals make
sso some GeveopmeSts T a S re resardng Hoods
Tennessee campaign. The Selma, Alabama,
Mississippan says that two regiments of
his army returned to Corinth with 81 men
left out of 1900.
The Richmond Examiner announces that
the negroes have caught quite military
fever in that ci6y, and that they are already
forming organizations of volunteers for SER
vice in the rebel armies.

CIRcLEvILLE, Feb. 10th, 1865.

CIRCLEVILLE, feO. I6tn, 1870.
The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cnnati, was put into the Union school
building OF this city in November last and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compara-
lively, greater heating surface; produces
larger volume of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is. SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated.
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air, as is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply of pure, fresh air, warmed
to pleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects of the fire, 1t is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx of such large and rapid current OF
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
flues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in a healthful condition. 1t is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school edifce without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
. tion Of large number OF furnaces and
other modes Of warming school houses and
other public edifces, not only in Western,
but also in Eastern cities Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best
