Sherman in North Carolina.

We are in the dark in regard to Sherman's
whereabouts, since Lee has requested rebel
papers to be silent upon the movements Of
our army, which they interpret and obey too
literally for our satisfaction. The last direc.
news from him placed him at Charlotte, a
town OF considerable Importance on the rail.
road leading from Virginia through the Car
olinas, and near the boundary limo between
North and South Carolina. He was then
marching rapidly northward. and Richmond
papers declared that II hc was no. stopped
Immediately. II would DO too late to do 90 a.
all. That was Eve days ago, and wa have
heard nothing ofhis march's being successful.
ly opposed.
Charlotte Is distance from Raleigh lls
miles, and before this time Sherman has prob
ably reached within striking distance Of that
place. Scho6eld with 10000 veterans has
formed a junction with the main army. and
naattlc may DO foughtat any moment. II

TThe B;ddeford Union exults over the nc.
ton on the railroad gauge question ut Angus
In. Il Is gratifying to know that in this thing
Il no more repI esents the sentiment or YORK
county than II did on the senatorial ques-
ton. lD-Portiand paper.
We cannot think that our young but Wig
orous contemporary really wishes to mis-
represent us. Nothing that we said could
DO tortured into u. word Of "exulsation y
for that word would imply that we
have some grudge adverse 70 the interest oil
our Portland citizens, which is not true.
As for the representation spoken Of, we can
not forbear saying, that this JOURNAL makes
no effort whatever to please or represent pol
iticians, and, to tell the truth, it don't care
a 6g for the whole kit Of them or their inter
ests. when opposed to what 1t believes to be
for the good or the people, or tho public in
forests which il advocates. And 1t can at
ford to be more independent, since 1t is an
establishment not run to pay private debts
of politicians from Government patronage
"when you are with the Romans do IA the
Romans do" is valuable maxim which wo
invariably adopt, provided always that the
Romans do as we do.

TuY NEWSPAPER PRss.-Tbe opinion is
prevalent among some that the interests OF
the public would DO best secured by fow

centres, rather than by continuing the pres

Is an important agent in the education Of the
people, and 1t ought not to DO concentrated
In our largest cities and towns. Prominent
localities in State should have thcir news

Of city journals to know much about, or to

REBEL DEsERrIoNs.- Washington COR
respondent OF the Boston Daily Advertiser
states that
Recent reports from nearly all our armies
show that the number OF dcscrters this win
ter from the rebel armies is moro than three
times as great as it was last winter, and the
testimony Of all was that moro would desert
il able. The general disposition OF many OF
the prisoners lately taken is avcrse to return
Ing to the South. and since tho exchange has
been resumed over sixteen hundred men. now
in confinement. have refused to be exchanged.
the significance Of these facts is further en-
larscd by tho report Of General Grant that
since the campaign began last May, the
whole number Of descrters arriving within
our lines from Loc.S army alone is about IL :,
900.

furnishes the following facts respecting Gen.
Shcrman's strength :-"Our army left Savan-
nah strongly garrisoned with troops belong

E It seems to be pretty we'll settled that
Hon. Hugh McCulloch will DO appointed
Secretary Of the Treasury. The Philadel
phia Inquirer, sensation paper however,
makes up the Cabinet as follows:-"
tary Of State, w. II. Seward Secretary OF
War, E. NJ. Stanton; Secretary Of the Ma
Wy, Gideon welles; Secretary Of tho Treas.
ury. Hugh McCulloch; Secretary of tho In
terror, j. p. Usher Postmaster General,
w. p. Dcnnison; Attorney General, james
Speed. All will remain for the ensuing four
years but Judge Usher. who will probably
retire at some future time, and tho Hon. A
w. Randall Of Wisconsin will succeed him."
We think we can tell story more correct
than that Of tho Inquirer, but as it will be
known by Monday what the appointments
really are, we will not predict.
