NRw YonE, Feb. 90.-We have nothing
later this morning regarding Gen. Sher.
mans successes.
The Richmond Examiner of the nth has
some particulars Of the reported fipht be
tween Kilpatrck's and Wheeler's cavalry
on the 18th inst, 1t Aiken, on the railroad
leading from branchville to Augusta, and
about l6 miles from the latter place.
The Examiner reitsrates previous rebel
statements that Fitzpatrick was driven
back . distance Of about FIVE miles. and
gives A. . reason for not continuing the
pursuit, the exhaustion Of their am,nuni.
ton.
1t is claimed that number Of Union SOL
diers were captured in the affair.
The Wing says there was nothing At the
War Department to verify the reported de.
feat Of Fitzpatrick.
The rebels estimate the entire number of
Sherman's forces operating in the interior
Of South Carolina at only 10000.
The Richmond Wing Of the 18th SAYS all
it could learn on inquiry 1t the War De-
partment, Was that Sherman was some.
where, but it wss not known where.
The WILMINGTON Carolinian states that an
important movement is going on, which is
supposed to be evacuation.
The same paper says . considerable
Yankee force has landed in the vicinity of
Little River, supposed for the purpose Of
breaking the Manchester Railroad.
The Richmond Examiner SAYS:
The force landed at Newbern is greatly
exaggerated. Only = few Yankees have
landed there.
The Mobile Register says:
The Southern people are not whipped.
but cowed. Their souls. not their hands
are wearicd. Their strength is not Slapped.
but our courage is oozing out at our fingers
ends.
The Columbia'(S. CO. Carolinian SAYS:
The appointment of Gen. Hampton Of
such divisions as those Of Gen. Butler and
Young, is an earnest Of success. He is
once more at the head Of the men he has SO
often led to victory on Virginia fields-the
men on whom the country and himself can
depend. We may Therefore look for a rep.
clifton of the gallaHtry which has been bull
etined from every battle field in which they
have had place. Though Hampton is in
the saddle, the cooperation Of Gen. John.
ston, who, although for the present, is be-
hind the scene does not withhold his skill
and experience whenever demanded, togcth-
er with score Of other facts of an encoura
ging character which should not be publish
ed, are events that may we'll give other PEG.
pie great JOY.
The Lynchburg Republican says:
The Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, it
is thought, will be opened for travel to Bris-
tol by the first Of March. The repairs are
being pushed onward with unusual energy.
Some idea Of the magnitude Of the work to
be done may be formed from the statement
that all the bridges, 90 or go in number, for
distance of 10 miles, have to be rebuilt,
and much Of the track relaid, besides many
repairs to be made.

New YORK, Feb. 20.-During . recent
debate in the Rebel Senate, the food qucs-
ton came up, when it transpired that the
vast yield ofthe 'alley Of virg. mia, which
had in former years been always secured
last year fell into our hands. That this was
the result of calling in the armies in the
days for cutting it. That thousands of SOL
diers families had not tasted meat for six
months, and were being in a short supply
Of bread alone. That the soldiers themselves
had also been without meat for a long time.
