ted, and which were, no doubt, rendered unfit for service. Every man, well or sick, was transported beyond the reach of Sherman. The army has been saved, and will add to our troops in the field a force of which they are in much need.--In the Revolen published in the Gazette, when news arrived that these bold partizans had already rekindled the war.

The column which Sherman has sent to the South is supposed to have gone in search of the prisoners, which, thus far, he has failed to capture. W the waters were everywhere up, for several weeks, from the borders of South Carolina, into Virginia. We rather hope that military means will be found to hold Sherman in check, and to protect the country and delay his advance as much as possible.

Charleston next to be attacked by Sherman. The Baltimore American, commenting on Sherman's intended movements, says: General Sherman's future movements may be easily divined. Charleston is too near and too coveted a prize to long escapeSherman's intended movements, says: General Sherman's future movements may be easily divined. Charleston is too near and too coveted a prize to long escape his grasp. Lying at the end of a peninsula, between two rivers, General Sherman has only to place his army in front of it to insure its surrender. We have no doubt when the time comes it will be given up as quietly as Savannah has been, and that General Sherman's future movements may be easily divined.

ildings. A movement from Memphis. An official telegram, received at the War Department yesterday, states that two brigades of negro troops, and one of white cavalry, left Memphis on the 21st, moving on the State-Line road. His advance reached Fayette depot on the 20th (22d?). The telegraph says that the object of the movement had not been developed. From the South. Nothing of importance was received from Wilmington or the far south yesterday. Butler has withdrawn from Fort Fisher; but, as yet, his future plans have not been developed. It is thought probable he will attempt a movement directly against Wilmington. Through the Northern papers we learn that Sherman is marching on Charleston. Before he advances far in this direction, he must fight a battle. Colonel Mosby. A private letter, received yesterday, states that Colonel John S. Mosby's wound is not mortal, the ball with which he was shot having coursed around, instead of entering, his abdomen.
