The observation-disclosures Moving
on Raleigh.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The Times Wash
ington special says the fears of some tim
orous persons that Lee will be able to pre-
cipitate himself on Sherman, and, united
with Beauregard, be able to check the adj
vance of that General, are not shared by
either the Government or sensible men here.
These persons forget that Grant and his
army will have something to say on that
issue. Lee is closely observed by Grant on
every point, and the first intimation he
gives of an intention to withdraw from
Richmond will be the signal for tiger
spring by Grant. General Grant is perfect
ly cognizant of every move on the part of
his adversary, by the deserters from Lees
lines, who arrive at the rate of 100 per day.
A distinguished military man to-day point
ed out that the present situation of Lee is
precisely analogous to that of Napoleon in
1914, when France was invaded by the al
lies. Notwithstanding that he layished
all the resources Of his incompatible genius
to resist the advance, he was pushed and
pressed upon by converging forces of his
opponent, and was finally compelled to
capitulate in his own capital.
Indications are that Sherman is pushing
his triumphant columns straight on Raleigh,
which point he will reach early next week.
He writes privately that the people of the
old North State are prepared to hail the ad-
vent of his army and promptly wheel the
State into the Union.
Since the fall OF Charleston, Wilmington
and Mobile are the only two points remain
ing of thenumerous important seaport cities
formerly under rebel rule. Both are doomed
to fall, If not already in our possession.
Powerful eXpeditionary forces are directed
against both points.

The Knabe Square.

lie roi est mort! Vive lie roll"
The Knabe Grand has disappeared from
public sight; the all-absorbing question now
is, who will be the owner of the splendid
Knabe Square, which the liberality of Its
makers has enabled the managers to procure
as the leading prize for the College Hospital
Fair.
While the Grand is like public orator.
who, with powerful sonorous voice, ad-
dresses public assemblages from the ros-
trum, the Fair Piano is like a'fascinating
woman, winning your heart with the sweet
tenderness of her pure angelic voice.
While the Grand is for the concert hall,
the delicately carved Fair Piano is peculiar
ly adapted to constitute an elegant draw
ing-room ornament. 1t is magnificent
instrument; the rich mellowness of its
liquid tone cannot be surpassed. The price
of ticket for the Fair Piano is only two
dollars. AS the tickets sell rapidly, the
drawing for the Piano will take place at
Ambos Hall within few days. Those
who wish to secure chance in the draw
ing should call Immediately and purchase
one or more tickets, to be had at tae music
store of Seltzer, Dresel & Co., or at Ambos
Hail.

Rebel Accounts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-Speaking of the
evacuation of Columbia, The Richmond
Sentinel of the Goth says: 1t is said that
some of our engrossed Treasury note pa
per fell into the hands of the Yankees, and
also quantity of medical stores. We have
no particulars Of these losses, as the official
dispatch of the fall of Columbia was COM
municated to President Davis, ana we
doubt whether it was even sent to the War
Department, which appears to be in COM
plete ignorance of what has happened in
South Carolina, except from what bits Ofin-
| formation have been picked up on the street.
On Thursday, the day before the enemy
| occupied the city, two trains were run from
| Columbia to Charlotte. 1t is supposed that
the effects of the Treasury Department
were brought off. There has been preva-
lent report that the plates for engraving
| treasury notes fell into the hands of the
| enemy, but this report is now traced to
some negroes who escaped from Columbia,
and reaching Kingsvile, told the story to
the telegraph operator, who sent it as au-
thentic over the wires to Richmond. Mr..
johnson, the Agent of the Treasury De-
partment, has communicated with the au-
thorities here from Charlotte, and makes no
mention of the engraver's plates.
We understand Grant shows no DISPOSE
ton to assume offensive operations, and has
withdrawn from his works this side of
Hatcher's run. The condition of roads rem
ders the success of any important move
ment doubtful. The ground is thoroughly
thawed and almost impossible for cavalry
and artillery, and exceedingly difficult for
the movement of infantry. Scouts from
within Grants lines report movements of
troops backward and forward between our
right and City Point. These transfers of
troops occur frequently, but are generally
tor the purposes of relief. 1t is not likely
that any advance on the part of the enemy
will be made for several weeks. The enemy
is erecting strong earthworks on Hatcher's
run. Northern papers give the rumor that
the Confederates are mining the Yankee
forts in front of Petersburg.

Sherman and Hardee Running a
Race for Florence.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. pa special dis
patch to the Bulletin from Washington
says: 1t is said that rebel papers announce
Gen. Sherman's advance to have reached
Camden, forty miles north of Columbia, on
Saturday. Camden is northeast of Column
bia, about lfalf way to Florence, showing
that Sherman is moving for the latter place.
Hardee, in evacuating Charleston, is evil
IDENTIFY pressing forward to reach Florence,
and thence to Wilmington. The race will
be close one, both starting about the same
time. Columbia to Florence is so miles,
Charleston to Florence 102 miles. Besides,
the capture OF Fort Anderson gives us the
Wilmington end of the Manchester road,
and if Hardee beats Sherman to Florence,
he will have to take to the open country
for escape.

Speech of gHr. Haines I'm the Rebel
COngreAs

NEwBERN, Feb. 19.-The great speech of
Mr. Haines, delivered on the 20th ult, Is at
traeting much attention. His argument fa-
voring u restoration of the Union Is as fear
less as 1t is able. The irresponsible repre-
sentatives in the rebel Congress from Mis-
souri, and other States, who have no constit-
uents and who are assisting to bind the fet-
ters upon North Carolina, were severely
handled. He holds that North Carolina has
q right to dissolve allegiance with the Con.
federate Government and enter into q
negotiation with the United States for
peace. He proves secession to be a
failure, and says Sherman is moving
forward through South and North Carolina
to cooperate with Grant in the reduction
of Richmond and the capture of Lees
army, and that, great as the undertaking
is, 1t Is not half so great as to march from
Dalton to Savannah. The North being in
the best possible spirits over their present
brilliant prospects, will speedily furnish the
100000 men called for by Mr.. Lincoln, who
will 90 to the field with greatestalacrity and
soon become excellent soldiers, inspired, as
they are, with hope of speedy success Of
our enemies. Can we recover back a ma
jority of the Confederate States which have
been taken from us by the armies of the
United States? Can we hold our remaining
territory? Can we even prevent the fall of
Richmond and the capture or destruction
of our only remaining army, recruited to
the full extent of our white population?
Regarding reconstruction, he said there
are those who think, after so much strife
and bloodshed, that reconstruction is i'm
possible. This is mistake. In the case OF
England and Scotland, which was in some
respects similar to ours, divided, as they
were, into kingdoms and at war for centu-
ries, effected a reconciliation, and Scotland
started on a new career of prosperity and
glory. Such will prove to be our case.--
The only hope L have ever seen of success
in this struggle, was that the northwest
ern States might be induced to join
our Confederacy. The manner in which
these States voted in the late Presidential
election has dispelled that hope forever,
and in my judgment has sealed the fate of
the Confederacy.
Mr.. Haines is distinguished lawyer and
author of some able letters, which appeared
in the Raleigh Standard, over the signature
of "Davison," which attracted so much at
tention in 1868.

RumOrs about WiImingtOn-Lee
Cannot hold out much Longer.

New YORK, February 2l.-The Trbune's
Washington special says: There have been
rumors all day of the evacuation of Will
mington, but there are no positive facts
about it at late hour tonight. 1t is, how
ever, known that Immediately after the fall
of Fort Fisher, the city was partially evacua-
ted, and it is believed the entire force in that
vicinity will at once join Beauregard, and
endeavor to check Sherman. If it was not
evacuated on Sunday, it will be invested
before the week is out.
A high official to-day expressed the opin-
ion that Lee canpotremain thirty days more
at Richmond. He must attack Grant and
raise the siege, or fall back to Lynchburg,
the only line of retreat now left open.

OPERA HoUsE.-The weather was quite
unpleasant last evening, but the Opera
House was well filled Notwithstanding
"Othello" was listened to, and its progress
watched with great interest. Mr.. Proctor,
in the character of Othello, by his distinct
enunciation as well as fine acting, gratified
everybody. Mr.. Evans, who, with decided
skill and tact, represented the willy Iago,
deserves credit for the like qualities of dis
tinct utterance and good acting. Mrs. Els
Ter, as the gentle and injured Desdamona,
appeared, as she always does, to good ad-
vantage. The other characters in Othello
were generally well represented.
Tonight we shall have the grand play of
Damon and Pythias, founded on the we'll
known old-time story of the test of friend
ship. Mr.. Proctor will represent Damon.
1t is fine moral drama, full of interest and
pathos, and will doubtless be well played

Dispatch from Admiral Porter
The Capture Of Fort Anderson.
WASHINGTON, Feb: 22.-The Navy De-
partment has received the following from


Admiral Porter:
U. 5. FLAGSHIP MALvERN,l
CAPE FEAR RIVER, Feb. 10.
SIR have the honor to report the sur
render or evacuation of Fort Anderson.
General Schoiield advanced from Smith
vile with 5000 men on the 18th. At the
same time attacked the works by water
placing the monitor Montauk close to the
works and enfiading with the Pawtucket,
Lenafee, Unadilla and Pequot, the tide and
wind not allowing more vessels to get under
fire. The fort answered pretty briskly, but
quieted down by sunset. On the 18th, at
3 o'clock, moved up closer, the Montauk
leading, followed by the Huron, McMan,
Sossocus, Ponatuse, Maratonga, Lenafee,
Unadilla, Pawtucket, Osceola, Shawmut,
Seneca, Wyac, Chippewa, and Little Ada,
and kept up a heavy fire through the day
till late in the afternoon. The enemy's
batteries were silenced by three o'clock,
though we kept up the fire until dark. We
also fired through the night.
In the meantime General Schofeld was
working in the rear of the rebels, to cut
them off The latter did not wait for the
army to surround them, but left in the
night, taking five or six pieces of light ar
tillery with them, and everything else of
any value: At daylight this morning some
of our troops that were near by. went in
and hOisted the flag on the ramparts, when
the firing ceased from the monitors.
There were ten heavy guns in Fort An
derson, and aquantity of ammunition. We
lost but three killed and five wounded.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Advices from the
northern States of Mexico to the 9Th repre-
sent the people there as still firm in their
adhesion to the constitutional Government,
and determined to resist the Imperial in
vader. The States of Chihuahua Sonora
and Sinaloa, were entirely clear of any of
MaXimilian's troops, with the exception of
a small force in the town of Mazatlan, In
the latter State. The city of Chihuahua is
the present capital of the republic, and Ju-
arez and all his cabinet officers are located
there, exercising their functions in security.
There are about 10000 Republican troops In
the States of Sinaloa, Durango and Chihua-
hua, and others in Sonora. On the first of
January President Juarez issued a spirited
proclamation declaring his determination
to- maintain the Republic and urging the
people to stand firm in its support.
