tton between sherman and Scho-
Geld.
New YORK, March THE Times
Washington special dispatch says: Evil
dence accumulates that Sherman has
moved, by Aanking Johnston's forces,
and placed himself between that body of
rebels aud Wilmington.
Officers from Schofeld's army, who ar
rived here to-day from Wilmington, bring
information that refugees and deserters,
who are daily arriving in our lines, report
Sherman as having moved from Wins
boro, S. c., in the direction of Fayettc-
vile, n. c., thanking Florence, and COM
pelling the rebels to evacuatc it; upon
which it was occupied BY his cavalry, who
were engaged in destroying the railroad.
The pracdcability of junction between
Sherman and Schofeld is thus assured
beyond doubt; though up to March LIST
it had not been actually effected. q.

The Tribne'S Wilmington correspondent
under date Feb. 18th, says Sherman's cav
airy was reported at Florence, $. c., a few
days since. 1t is rumored in town this
morning as the steamer was leaving, that
Sherman's main body is across the north
west branch of Cape Fear River, miles
from this place. If so, the Chicamauga
which ran up the river will come to grief
between two fires. She is hemmed in be-
tween the forces of Sherman and Schofeld,
and will either be destroyed or captured.
The Chicamauga has since been de-
stroyed by the rebels, which goes to con-
firm this report of the whereabouts of
Sherman's main body.
Affairs at WiImingIon-Cabin
Change.
Affairs at Wilmington, under the adj
ministration of Schofeld are progressing

of their loyalty to the Government.
