used as a signal station ever since the pos

fPress Dispatch. |

NEW YORK, Feb. l7.-Advices from
Gen. Sherman say that his left wing was
on Monday seventeen miles north Of
Branchville and within 50miles of Colum-
bia, the capital, while his right was in
front of the city of Charleston, only two
miles distant, and threatening it on the
next day. Monday last it was indicated
by the Richmond papers that his cavalry
had reached the Northeastern railroad
and thus severed the last remaining line
between Charleston and therebel capital.
His troops were believed to be also in the
vicinity of Florence, the important point
of convergence of the railroads conmun-
icating between South Carolina, Geor-
gia North Carolina and Virginia, and
near which town were recently confined
large numbers of captured Union sol
diers. Rebel papers argued that there
was nothing to stop Sherman's army,
and expect that the national flag will
soon be floating over Charleston, Angus
ia, Columbia and Releigh.

men on his muster rolls, twO-ihirds OF
whom are effective.
Kirby Smiths headquarters is still
at Shreveport, La. His entire strength
is estimated at $4,000, only $4,000 OF
whom are seryiceable. Immense droves
of beef cattle, amounting to some hun
dred thousand head are roaming the
praries of Western Texas.
Reports of Kirby Smith, Magruder and
other rebel officers being engaged i'll cot

Hart, rebel Adjutant at Matamoras, is

1t will be remembered that on Friday
the 4th instant Sherman crossed the
Salkehatchee, between Blackstone and
Rivers bridge, thereby completely out
thanking our forces, and compelling them
to fall back to Branchville. We have
since learned that Yankees forded the
river, through water waist-deep, at Riy-

A sharp engagement toOk place here,
which lasted several hours, i'll which Gen
eral Wheeler's cavalry inflicted severe
injury upon the enemy. On the 9Th a
heavy column of Yankee infantry struck
the South Carolina railroad at Grahams-
vile, about eighteen miles west Of Branch
vile, while Fitzpatrick, with a cavalry
force, occupied Blackville, on the same
road, about nine miles little northwest
of Grahamsville. Aportion of Sherman's
column, it was reported yesterday, NOV
ed forward, crossing the South Edisto
and thanking Branchville on tue west.
This force then advanced to Orange
burg, on the Columbia and Branchyille

Important Orders from General Lee
Amnesty TO all Deserters who Return
iu Given Time.

From the Richmond Enquirer Feb Is
General Lee, having assumed command
as General-in-C Chief of the armies of the
Confederate States, publishes this morn
ing two important general orders mos.
and 81 to which we invite the attention
of all. He offers general amnesty to all
deserters, and Others improperly absent.
1t is the duty of every one to make
known this amnesty, and see that every
man who is absent improperly shall be
advised of this pardon. Twenty days
are given in which man can return to
honor and duty. There may be mis-
guided persons who are shielding and
hiding their friends; if SO, we
would especially call their attention
to these orders. This war, every one be-
lieves, is near its end, but when peace re-
turns, dssertion will not be forgotten or
forgiven. Disgrace will forever attach
to the deserter, and its penalties will at
tend him through life. We hope that
people in the neighborhood of deserters
will exert themselves to make known
these orders, and seek to induce these
men to return to their regiments.
