sherman at AaSeAtefllAes r1
Tke grand march of Sherman through
South Carolina has been completed. The
problem has been solved. The doubts
and anxieties of the whole North about the
safety Of our army have been removed.
Sherman has entered Fayetteville.
Tbs fact which we learned on Tuesday,
that ne had reached Lsural Hill with
out disaster, was, As We remarked yes
terdsy morning, substantial solution of
the great problem-snd an auspicious one.
His arrival ss Fayetteville confirms this.
Itren6zes all doubt as to the speedy june
tion ofhis forces with thoae Of fSchoAeld, and
be consequent fall of Goldsboro For,
though Sherman may remain at Fayette-
Vile forsome little time, 10 rest and receive
supplies, he is safe there from any rebel at
tack and his march upon GOldsboro will be
easy and unOpposed. Fayetteville is the
couuty-seat of Cumberland county, N C. and
is situsted on the Cape Fear River, one hun
dred and ten miles above Wilmington,
with which there is easy communication
by light draft steamboats,. A large and
valuable Confederate Arsensl has been
located there, but has probably been des-
troyed by the rebels. Sherman has already
established communication With Whining
Son, which viii be his base of supplies until
he anitss with schoAslds forces at Kins-
ton.
The fact that Sherman has reach
ed Fayetteville without opposition, e1-
cept from an insignificant force Of
cavalry under Wsde Hampton, proves
conclusiyeIy that he has completely out
witted Besuregard and Johnston. When
he advanced from Columbia he demon
strated on Winnsbore, which lies in the
direction Of Charlotte and Rsleigh-and
forthwith the rebel leaders concentrated
their whole force at Charlotte preparatory to
resist Sherman's expected advance into the
interior But our Union General soon struck
of for Florence, Chersw and Fayetteville,
snd, before Johnston had discovered his
blander, Sherman had left him far in the
rear. From Charlotte, Johnston had no
railroad communication with Eastern North
CArolins except via Greensboro, Raleigh and
Goldsboro, and as he could not overtake
Sherman, his only course was TO transfer
his forces to GOldsboro and strive
TO crush our armies there before
they were reinforced from South Carolina.
This was what the rebels attempted in
their recent attack on Cox at KinstOn. In
this, their last hope, they signally fsilsd-
Fayetteville is only fifty miles, in di-
rect line, from Goldsboro. Sherman will
probably move upon the rear of that
place, while Schoheld assaults it in front,
rendering its reduction sure.
81 The occupation of Fayetteville by Sher-
man, after ali the insidiOus hints of his re-
treat his defeat his failure, his ruin, which
the Richmond papers have been so lavish
Of is another proof of the desperation to
which these journalists are reduced, and of
the utter unreliability of their empty
bOssts. @

sue Mundy,


The notorious Kentucky guerrilla Jerome
Clarke, who, under the disguise of woman
and the name of Sue Mundy, has earned
5 wide reputation for the horrible atrocities
committed by his band, was captured on
Sunday last and has had quick trial and
short shrift. He was tried on Tuesday,
found guilty of two murders, and sentenced
to be hung yesterday. The sentence was
at once approved by General Palmer,
and has undoubtedly been carried into
effect. Clarke is son Of an Ex-Governor
of Kentucky. There can be no doubt of
the justice of his sentence, and cur only re-
gres is that every one of the Aendisb guer-
rillas who have been devastating the border
States and numbering their citizens do not
share his fate.

A curious prosecution is now in progress
before the Recorder. Three preliminary
hearings have been had, and the case stands
adjourned. Three or four high-toned and
distinguished citizens charge an equal num-
ber of other prominent citizens with per-
petrsting big cosl-oil swindle upon them.
Mr.. Benjamin a. Brewster is leading coun-
sci for the prosecution, and Mr.. Frederick
Brewster leads the batch of attorneys en-
ployed for the defense. The facts, in brief,
are these Three gentlemen recently pur-
chased thirty acres Of land in the oil re-
gion 1t one thousand dollars per acre. Each
gentleman contributed or held himself re-.
sponsible for an equsl share. A committee
of three was appointed to visit the proper
ty and examine the title. This committee,
it is alleged, divided the whole amount of
thirty acres into two tracts-one containing
the usual surface indications of the olesg-
inous material, while the other part was
valueiess. The committee, it is further al
legged, conveyed the oily part to an indiYid-
ual and allotted the other to the company.
The affair leaked out, and the suit Was in
stituted. The case has made SON stir
among operators in eosl-oil stocks. The
prosecuting party claims that the other
party must disgorge or go to prison. The
other party contends that everything was
done fairly and abovebosrd. PHILADELPHIA

NEW HOME TESTIMONIALS.
From the Rsv. NJ. Roberts. Z j

DR.. @. B. LIaHTHILL-Dear Sir:-Itake
much pleasure in informing you that my
daughter is much better of her deafness un-
der your treatment. She had The Scarlet
Fever when five years old, which left her
hearing much impaired, and which seemed
also to be settling down into permanent,
and as we much feared, perfect and incur
able deafness. We were not little fear
full and unbelieving in any efforts al cure,
having previously applied to other physi-
clans without success But we soon found
under your treatment, evidences Of decid-
ed improvement The ssnious discharge
soon changed to white one, indicating 3
healthy, healing process. We are yet
making use of your prescription, and hope
you will not fail to visit these parts soon,
as several of my friends are anxious to see
the good Samaritan, that they may obtain
little of the oil of consolation for themselves.
Respectfully yours, N. BoREBTs.

RohiIe Probably Ours.

Mobile, the last ses-port town left to the
rebels, is probably ere this in the hands of
our gallsnt soldiers under Candy. Com
muniealions between that city and Rich
mond have indeed been go entirely destroyed
by Sherman that the latest sdyices which
the rebels have from It are ten days old
These, however, are later than any news
which our authorities have received. They
are to the effect thst on the 2sth of Febru-
ary twenty-five steamers and six MisSis-
sippi river transports had made their sp-
pearanee 81 the lower bay of Mobile snd
that large numbers of Union troops had
arrived az Dauphin Island, in front of No
bile, and at Pensacola. These stories are
amply confirmed by intelligence which has
bean given to the public from loyal sources,
10 the eject thst our authorities were mus
tering large force at New Orleans for the
5l reduction of Mobile. There can be but
little doubt, from these facts and from the
inadequscy Cadmitted by the rebels them
sslves) of the fehel force at Mobile for the
defiance OF that place, that the Flag of the
Union already waves over this the last
seaport left in the hands of the rebels.
Mobile was thoroughly blocksded before
its fall, and has been ever since FsrTsgut's
8 gtsnd fight there and the capture of Fort
Morgan. Its occupation by our forces will
uJ onot, therefore, increase the isolation of the
Gonfederacy or make any more complete
its deprivation from foreign assistance.
But its capture will result in the bringing
of the whole of the cotton States under
the dominion Of our Hag. It will result in
the winding up of the war in the imperial
domain lying between the Savannah river
and the Mississippi. There is no rebel
force of any magnitude in all that section,
unless it be around Mobile; and the cap
ture of the latter city opens the country,
as far Rs Selma and Montgomery, to our
gunbosis, and brings within our lines the
great slave and cotton regions on the
Alabama and Tombigbee rivers, which are
tributary to the port of Mobile
Viewed IN this light, the occupation of
Mobile will be one OF the grsndest sue
cesses of the whole war. --.s,.

revived by "Dr. j. R. Newton who is
holding daily levee at Metropolitan Hall
and working, by an alleged miraculous
power, alleged miraculous cures. He heals
the sick, and causes the blind to see, the
deaf to bear and the lame TO walk. So at
least, he claims. The Chicago papers are
skeptical on the subject, and strongly inti-
mats that the Doctor is an impostor.
