The Onward March of Sheridan
Early not Captured.
New YORK, March 9.-The HerGld's
Winchester correspondent says deserters
who have arrived at Winchester state that
they passed Sheridan on the way down.
He reached Woodstock, thirty miles from
his starting point, on the first day, and
though the rain was falling, the roads
very muddy and streams much swollen,
his troops were pushing forward rapidly.
1t was expected that on the third day they
would reach Staunton, lis miles up the
valley; short distance north of which
town Early, with small rebel force then
was.
The Tribune's Washington special dis
patch says General Emory telegraphs from
Winchester that some of our men who are
coming in represent Sheridan's victory
over Early as more complete than any re-
port we have had. When last heard from
he was pushing for the canal running from
Lynchburg to Richmond, which he has
doubtless reached and destroyed before
this.

PHILADELPHIA, March S.-The Rich

or Virginia.
NEwBERN, March Intelligence from
North Carolina papers indicate both Sec
tons are concentrating their forces or her
border for final struggle. A Raleigh
paper says the people of that city will hear
the guns of the greatest and last battle Of
the American rebellion, and the tradition
airy grounds of the North State will be the
common graveyard Of State Rights and
State lines, without which no attempt at
secession could have been made. The ex-
istence of State lines will always be suf-
ficient pretext to prompt local interests in
one section to revolt against the Govern
ment of other sections which refuse to
sacrifice their local interests. All history
demonstrates the fact that personal interest
is paramount to love of country, and even
life itself. Hence, to make us one family
and one people, and to obliterate those
local dangers, we must abolish State lines,
which will give us a central head-a mag
net to which all local interests will be at
trscted-a republican government which
will be the embodiment of free institutions,
in country in which the people cannot
run riot and plunge into extremes under
the cloak of democracy.
The Raleigh Progress says the Federals
are concentrating force of 10000 men at
Newbern, which will. soon be ready to
strike Gen. Lees army, in conjunction
with Sherman's force.
