nd was so unfortunate as to be wounded and captured a short time since, and who has been reported as dead, is, we rejoice to be able to say, improving. He was shot in the left side of the head, the ball taking out the left eye, cutting the bridge of the nose, and it was feared fatally injuring the sight of the other eye. Late accounts from him say that he will recover the sight of the right eye entirely. From Georgia. Northern dates of the 6th say that they have heard nothing from Sherman for five days. They suppose that he is engaged in strengthening his position and destroying rebel communications, and that he is only silent because he is too busy to communicate with the Government by useless dispatches. They are seemingly convinced that he is playing smart generally. General Hood is probably aware of his movements, and will keep him from doing much harm. From Missouri. Northern accounts state that, on the 4th, Price was threatening Rolla. Large detachments

One part must rush to the support of the other. We must beat Sherman, we must march into. Tennessee--there we will draw from twenty thousand to thirty thousand to our standard; and so strengthened, we must push the enemy back to the banks of the Ohio, and thus give the peace party of the North an accretion no pu General Beauregard, in the course of his remarks, said that he had fired the first gun at Sumter, and he hoped to live to fire the last of the war, which drew forth loud applause.
