We have too high an estimate of the abilities and resources, improved by four years sharp practice upon Confederates, to make any such supposition.

The New York Times, writing of Sherman's plans for his march to Richmond, says: It is well known now to the public that General Schofiely body that Lee may send out south of that point to oppose Sherman's army. We can count the time almost by weeks in which GeGeneral Sherman, in his victorious march, will form a new base in Wilmington, or at some other point in North Carolina.
