DS@We see it stated that some Of the Nor.
mon clergy are preaching politics. We Have
no great confidence in the priests of that per.
suasion, but we never expected them to abuse
their calling in this way. We had no idea
that they were 80 ignorant of the duties o.
preachers, as to mix politics with their ser.
mons. If there are any clergymen in this
region OF country addicted to this habit, they
can now see how it looks To the credit OF
the Latter Day Saints, we may remark, that
the practice is by no means general.

Sheridan has abandoned the Shenan-
doah Valley without reaching the Lynch
burg and Richmond Railroad, and com
munieating with Sherman.
Sherman has turned up at Laurel Hill,
lust on the southern edge of North Caro-
lima, about thirty miles from Oberan, 5.
e., and one hundred miles east Of the line
upon which he started out to march. lie
left Columbia on the oath OF February,
and was twelve days in marching some
ninety miles, or about eight miles day.
His dispatch is dated two days before
Hampton's attack on Fitzpatrick. Both
Sherman and Sheridan have failed tc
reach Lynchbnrg. Johnston and Bragg
now occupy line directly north of Sher
man. Should Sherman continue his
march on Raleigh. he will find the armies
of both Bragg and Johnston between hin
and Schofeld. Should he join the latter
it must be south of Goldsboro and nea
the sea-coast, leaving the whole Conieder
ate force between him and Grant, witt
Lees army still in jts old position. Al
to the Kinston fight, the case stands thus
Schofeld's forces at Wilmington ant
Newbern We're to advance toward Raleigh
and Greensboro, OF Danville, to join Sher
man. Bragg has fallen back across tn
Neuse, but still holds Kinston, thus de
feating Scho6eld's part of the programme
Such is the military situation just at thi
moment.
