Arrest of a female spy. --A young woman, calling herself Miss Jones, was arrested in Selma, Alabama, on the 29th ultimo, charged with being a Federal spy. She had about her person a number of papers, the nature of which we were unable to ascertain, and a large amount of greenbacks. She acknowledged having two accomplices.

convenience, at least, to the Yankees, were it not that such a theory does not correspond with the tearing up of the track from Chattanooga to Atlanta. The better opinion seems to be, that he designs to obtain possession of a base upon the Atlantic or the Gulf, from whence, with renewed resources and increased strength, he may prosecute a winter and early spring campaign. In the former view, he will make for Augusta and Savannah; in the latter, we may hear of him moving in the direction of Selma and Mobile. In either case, his journey is a long one, and we do not see that his success will decide any great question. By withdrawing from Atlanta, and tearing up the railroad, he gives us all the country between the two places. By going either to Mobile or Savannah, he likewise abandons all the intermediate country; for it cannot be expected that his force is large enough to spare garrisons, all along the route, sufficiently large to keep the country; and such garrisons must inevitabl

Policemen and the conscription. --A few days since the policemen of Selma, Alabama, were taken by the enrolling officer, and sued out a writ of habeas corpus, which resulted in the discharge of the City Marshal — the head of the force. The privates, however, were remanded back to the enrolling officer.--Governor Watts then certified to all of them as State officers, and they were all exempted.

all the manufactories for shot, shell, fixed ammunition and cannon are at Macon, Augusta and Columbia. Half the power the rebels use is made near Augusta. If Beauregard attempts to intercept Sherman, or follow him, he must send his entire army, with all its paraphernalia, by rail from Corinth to Meridian. It must then march from Meridian to Montgomery, a distance of about two hundred miles, with only a short piece of railroad, with no means of transportation, running from Uniontown to Selma. By the time Beauregard reaches Macon, Sherman would be out of his reach. Thomas is watching G. P. T. B., and is being heavily reinforced (with new troops). In a week from now Thomas's army will have fifty-five thousand men, beside A. J. Smith, who is co-operating with an army of observation. The Cincinnati Times, on the question of subsistence, says: Sherman has been chiefly occupying his time in laying in a full supply of hard bread and beef cattle; and he has with him, of the

A Relic of New Orleans. --" 'Uncle Billy Allen' was in Selma on yesterday. He is just now returning from Virginia, where he has been to visit his children. Uncle Billy is very old and decrepit, being one hundred and three years of age; and his grey hairs, venerable countenance, together with the memories that cluster around him of the trials and tribulations of the war with Great Britain, enlist the sympathies of all good-hearted people. He was General Jackson's body servant, and was pt the sympathies of all good-hearted people. He was General Jackson's body servant, and was present with that great man at the battle of New Orleans, of which he speaks a good deal. He speaks the Indian language fluently, and was Jackson's interpreter, and recollects well the death of General Beckenham. The old man has become somewhat childish, and, being almost blind, walks with two sticks. He was on his way to Salem, Mississippi, where he resides."--Mississippian (Selma), November, 11.

Why Hood fought the battle of Franklin. --The Selma Journal publishing some intelligence from Hood's army, says: "The battle near Franklin was fought against the real wishes of General Hood; but he yielded to the demands of his men. The Tennessee regiments particularly were clamorous for the fight, and threatened mutiny unless they were allowed to attack the Yankees then and there. The result was a glorious victory, but a sad loss of officers and men."

ccess of Lincoln in which the Yankees fondly believes would so terrify the Confederates that they would lay down their arms at their bidding. He failed, and was disastrously repulsed everywhere. Nor need we speak of the capture of Fort Harrison, or the AlmsHouse, or Darbytown, or of Beast Butler and his grand canal at Dutch gap. It is time to turn our eyes elsewhere. The campaign of Sherman, early in the spring, from Vicksburg to the Alabama line, with the purpose of taking Mobile and Selma, having failed, that officer was transferred to Chattanooga to take command there. He began to move against General Johnston early in June That officer fell back from one position to another until he had reached Atlanta, fighting on the retreat several severe battles, in which, while he lost only nine thousand men, he inflicted upon the enemy, according to their own statements, a loss of fifty-five thousand. Here, to the great regret of the whole country, and of none so much as the army he

nt faces of the fort are honeycombed from bottom to top, and the ground in front and rear is covered with shells and torn into great pits and gullies. In some places one can hardly walk without stumbling over the shells and solid shot rained upon the devoted garrison. And yet the fort remains intact, and is as strong and sound to-day as it was when Porter first opened upon it. Our loss, too, is wonderfully small, being three killed outright and fifty-five wounded.--Two Brooke guns, cast at Selma, burst; two others were dismounted by our own carelessness, and two by the fire of the enemy. Such is the nett result of the long day's bombardment by fifty-nine vessels of war and five hundred and eighty-three guns. The bombardment on the first day lasted five hours, and on the second, seven hours; during which it is estimated over twenty thousand shots were fired by the enemy. The fort responded slowly and deliberately, firing only six hundred and sixty-two shots the first day, and six

iles in length, and this could be kept open with comparatively few men. About the shoals there are numerous boats which run to Chattanooga, and there are also several small gunboats to keep the river open. We shall then have the advantage of a water base and a river line of defence. I have often wondered that this has not been before adjusted; but I feel certain that it will now be employed as a base. With an efficient cavalry force, properly supported by infantry and light artillery, Selma and Montgomery will speedily fall into our hands. Those towns would be no further from Florence than Nashville is from Louisville; and Louisville was our base in 1861 and 1862; and Florence is to-day more securely ours than Louisville was then.
