Another objection to this method of blowing
was, that both ieet being occupied, no opportuni-

Wthtn the past two ears, instruments construct

Our Autmatc device obviates this difficulty en-

The HeralGs Wilmington dispatch, da-
ted March 1lth, says: Two of Gen. Sher-
mans scouts, named George w. Quimby
and Myron j. Arnick, the same who com
municated with Gen. Foster on the Ogee-
che, reached Wilmington on the 10th.
They left Sherman at Laurel Hill, march
ing on Fayetteville, and expecting TO reach
that place either on the night of the 1eth
or morning of the llth.
Boats started at once up the Cape Fear
river to remove distractions and open
communication with Fayetteville.
Sherman met with no serious opposition
on his march and fought no battle. Rebel
scouts have been lowering round him con-
stantly. A division of cavalry under Gen.
NJ. q. Butler, is in his rear. Dick Taylor
has not been seen, rebel reports to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
General Sherman crossed the Great Pc
dee ct OheraW on the 4th. The town on
the right bank was entrenched, but the
rebels made feeble defense. Sherman's g
cavalry dashed ia on the run and the rebels
dashed out also on the run. In their flight
they chivAlrously left to our men seventeen
guns in position -Four more were found
on the north bank.
The rebels appeared content with acting

FR0M FoRTRESs M0NROE.

FORTRESS MONROE, March Is.
The steamer Rebecca Clyde, with $50
rebel prisoners, captured near Kinston, N.
O., during the late battles, arrived here
this evening from NewberD.
The latest sdvices from Gen. Schoheld
represented him as still advancing toward
KinstoD; and there were rumors in New
bern when the Rebeccs Clyde sailed to
the effect that Bragg had evacuated the
town, and that our forces had taken posses
sion.
The prisoners who came up on the Re
becca Clyde, were a fne-looking set Of
mep, and belonged to Maj. Gen. Hoke's
Division, having been sent from Lees army
only 8 week since with the view of opera
ting against our forces in North Carolina.
All the available Pontoon trains at New
bern had been sent to General Schofeld,
and even If General Bragg had not eyscu-
ated Kinston, no doubt was entertained
but that our forces could easily cross the
Neuse river and give bsttle before he could
get away. Major General Couch's forces,
from Wilmington, had reached General
Schofeld, and his army, thus Ireiniorced,
was deemed amply sufficient TO defeat
Bragg's army, which was judged to be
about 25, 600 strong.

has been discovered on the farm of Frank
GOist, four miles west of this city, on the
Plsinheld road. It is ssid to be quite rich,
and has been bought by q company for
$40 1000. There is NO doubt that petroleum
exists in abundance in the vicinity Of
Joliet
A correspondent of the Toledo Cont
p,serciaL ssys that the oil indications around
Lskepori, Michigan, in a region about
twenty miles in length by eight wide, are
excellent. The surface Of the earth Is level

but neither as yet in paying quantities.
