* FROM PETERSBURG.
PErERsBrgG, Feb. s.--The enemy, yesterday, ad-
vanccd heavy force down the Vaughan road and,
seized the crossing at Hatchers Run, driving back
our pickets at that point. They also occupied Arm
strong's Mill, the crossing above, holding 10th
points with infantry while their cavalry swept
around our forces and advanced on Dinwiddie {. II.
Gen. W. IL. +. Lee met their advance there,
checking, and, after a sharp engagement, driving
them back. At the same time the enemy made
demonstrations at other points our right, but
were easily rcpuised. The enemys cavalry have
retired beyond Hatchcr's run.
There was no heavy infantry fighting. The enemy
extended but did not advance their line With tie
object of taking in more Woodland
They captured few and lost some prisorers-
They also lost several forage wagons.

FROM SHERMAN.
FORTRESS MONROE, Jan. 81,

FORTRESS MONROE, Jan. 81 1865.
The steamer Warrior, Captain Mott arrived here
to-day from Fort Fisher, N. {. Upto the time that
the Warrior sailed on Sunday last, nothing of i'm
portance had taken place, with the exception that
several OF our gunbuats were moving up the Cape
Fear River 10 the vicinity Of of the rebel forts
probably with he intention of bonbardment
The steamer Cahawba, Captain Johnson, arrived
here also this afternoon, from Hilton Head, S. c.,
with over five hundred Rebel prisoners, captured
hy Maj. Gen. Sherman in his late campaign.
The Cahawba sailed from Hilton Head en- last
the 2stb and besides the mails aud des-
patches from Sherman's army, brings intelligence
Of the highly gratifying success attending thus far
the opening OF the campaign in the State of South
Carolina.
One portion of Major General Sherman's army
moved direct from Savannah, Ga, and the other,
consisting OF two corps moved from Beaufort, 5.
c. and were both rapidly advancing against Charles
ton, 5. c.
4 The latest intelligence from Sherman's army rep
resens it to be at distance of less than fifty miles
from Charleston. The rebels were offering resis,-
ance at every point, but were rapidly beingldriven
from every available position for defence. Forage
and subsistence were found in large quantities by
oT soldiers as they followed the retreating steps u
the rebels.
The army commanded by MaIof-General Foster
was cooperating with the army under General Sher
man, and the movements of our troops through
South Carolina are but The precursor of a far more
terrible and disastrous campaign to the rebels than
that OF their celebrated march through the heart OF
Georgia.
The lines Of General Sherman were being gradu-
ally contracted, and it was probable that no desper
afe resistance would be made, battle offered, uu
III our ferces had reached TO within few miles o.
Charleston, where the main body Of tile rebel force;
would be concentrated, to make one last terrible
effort 10 save the State from the inroads of Sher
mans conquerrg army.

The CorroN QUESTION IN ENGLAND.
The London Times correspondent
says that the cotton question is far
from settled yet, and the great doubt
:ls to the American, production hinders
Ail calculation. Before the war Eng
land paid 93S, 100000 year for cot
ton. OF, which .e21, 600, 900 went to the
United States. Now, for % half sup
ply. she pays raarly double that
amount-say 460,000,000. China,
Japan, India, from which 50 much was
expected, are practical failures.
E9ypt does n little better, but not
enough. Ii labor can be re-organized
In the South, America may again have
the monopoly and supply the world.

Mr.. Secretary McCulloch has re-
Gently furnished statement of the
national debt, us it stood fifteen days
ago. The amount then OUTSTANDING
was 81, Isl, ,253, ,275. The debt bear
ing interest in coin is 81, 1OS, 622, ,641:
on which the interest is $64, 521. .S37.
The debt bearing interest in lawful
money is 81, ,289, ,156,545, on which
the interest is S74, TAO, $50. The debt
on which interest has ceased is 81. :
527, 100. The debt bearing no inte-
rest is 1857, ,9O6, 500. The total inte-
rest, both in coin and lawful money,
is Sl39, 2G2, ,46S. The number of legal
tender notes in circulation is $685.
236, ,2S9. The amount of fractional
currency is $25, 100000. The amount
of coin i'll the Treasury is $75, 1913, 600.
Total amount of coin and currency in
the Treasury SIG, 1885,
there is nothing in its proportions to
occasion apprehensions of either pos
sible or probable reputation, if
prompt and energetic steps could be
taken to reduce our national expendi-
tures. OF the 100000 troops who
were under arms i'll April, 700, 600
have been mustered out of service:
hut between $50, ZOO and 300, 900 are
still under arms. The estimated ex-
pcnses of the Government are still
nearly $50,O0O,0O0 per month, or in
round numbers 5000, O0O, OOO per an
mum. Indeed, it has been computed
the expenses Of the Government, from
the 1st of July last to the 1st of Feb
ruary, 1866, will amount to 1914, ,OOO,-
600. The probable expenses of the
War Department are placed ut $780,
600, 900, and those of the Navy at
$40, 900, 900, or S240, 600, 600 for both
branches of the service for six months.
Our receipts in that time, it is esti-
mated, will not exceed $296, 900. 900,
which amount falls short of meeting
the expenses of the Government and
the interest on the national debt-to-
gcther nearly $40, 100000. From this
1T will be perceived that, as peace now
prevails, the expenses of the army and
navy might be easily reduced $40, ,0OO,-
900. which would leave a handsome
surplus of $50, ,OUO, 600 in the National
Treasury on the 1st of February, 1866.
