mand, also, at the ever-memorable victory at Franklin. He has his own splendid and victorious Western corps (the Twenty-third) now with him in North Carolina; and should they combine (as we have no doubt they soon will) their old comrades of the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth and Twentieth corps, now marching with Sherman, the shout of victory which this invincible army has so often sent up from the Mississippi valley and the mountains of the Southwest will soon ring in the ears of Jefferson Davis from the plains of Virginia. The Situation of the Scourged people of the Shenandoah Valley. We find in the Baltimore papers an appeal from some benevolent men for help for the people of the Shenandoah Valley, in Virginia. An extract tells what misery the barbarous orders of Sheridan have created: The recent laying waste of the Shenandoah Valley has caused untold suffering with a people who once possessed happy homes and firesides, farms handsomely stocked with cattle, an

A telegram from Montreal, dated the 16th, about the trial of the St. Albans raiders, says: Other witnesses were examined, who proved that the prisoners resided at the Canada Falls in the winter of 1863 and 1864. Another witness is to arrive from Richmond with the classification of the prisoners, when the case on the part of the defence will be definitely closed. The prosecution say they have only two or three more witnesses to examine, which they will do to-morrow. Two marshals from New York have arrived to take the prisoners in case they are surrendered. The following is the document in which Lieutenant Young professes to have received his instructions for the raid upon St. Albans:

The last of Sherman's troops (except the garrison) left Savannah on the 27th ultimo. He has the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth and Twentieth corps. The left wing (Fourteenth and Twentieth corps, with Kilpatrick,) was moving on Branchville on that day. A letter to the New York Times says: At Sister's ferry, troops received full supplies, and the trains were loaded to the utmost limit. On the ration question, General Sherman is safe. His army can subsist forty days away from all base. Parties from the interior report that the people have not destroyed their crops or driven off their herds. There is no lack of forage of beef. This is most gratifying news, for the army apprehended a scarcity of food. Of the intentions of the general commanding, no one can safely assert knowledge.
