We do not observe that Sherman was anywhere stopped in his march by the one thousand rounds of oratorical Parrott guns which governors and other public speakerppeals which are not distinguished by the Demosthenian attribute of action. We do not observe that Sherman was anywhere stopped in his march by the one thousand rounds of oratorical Parrott guns which governors and other public speakers let off at his advancing columns. Unless the representatives of the people take the field themselves, and secure a position so close to the enemy that the can hear what they say, we have no hopes that he will put his fingers in his ears and run for his life.
The New York Tribune, in an article on the interesting question, "Can the rebels overwhelm Sherman?" neume rates various reasons for its hopes of his decisive success, such as the veteran character and large numbers of his troops; that strengill have to pass. In its own words, the Tribune. speaks of the "Whig strongholds" of North Carolina as eager to welcome Sherman as their deliverer. The ancient accuracy of the Tribune in political statistics cannot be expected, perhaps, with sloyalty of North Carolina. we leave that old State, not so famous for words as deeds, to answer by her action. Whether Sherman will find it as easy to march through that Commonwealth as other States remains to be seen. Even if he does, we do not iers in the armies of the South have been surpassed neither in numbers nor valor by those of any other State. The Tribune will do well not to base its calculations of Sherman's success upon the disloyalty of any portion of the Southern community.
The New York Tribune expresses its confidence in the "fighting muscle" of General Sherman's army. A few years work great changes. Who would have expected, some years ago, ever to see such language of the ring in the editorial columns of the New York Tribune? We should as soon have looked for it in an address of William Penn. We were led to believe by the old Tribune that wars and fighting had come to an end, and that the millennium was at hand. And now, not even the New York Herald exhibits more fighting gusto and science than the New York Tribune, which once was full of excellent Quaker reading, and gladdened the heart of Elihu Burritt with its humane and persistent antagonism to war. But the Tribune, it must be confessed, and all other philanthropists of the peace order, who once abounded not only on this continent but in Europe, neither understood the nature of mankind in general, nor their own in particular, when they ignored the inextinguishable instincts of the

A telegram from Fayetteville, on the 1st instant, says that, at that time, no Yankees had advanced in that direction from Wilmington. We publish this morning a full account, from Yankee papers, of our evacuation of Wilmington and the enemy's occupation. We have nothing from Sherman. He is presumed to be still in the mud of South Carolina. The tax bill. The bill to levy additional taxes for the current year engaged the attention of the Confederate Senate throughout yesterday, the pending question being the adoption of the amendments to the bill proposed by the Senate Finance Committee.

our lines, on Thursday and Friday, say that the people of Petersburg had been notified by the rebel military authorities to remove themselves and their effects from that city within four days. There are other circumstances which tend to confirm the belief that Lee will soon contract his lines by evacuating Petersburg and falling back behind the Appomattox river. The Herald's City Point correspondent gives a report that Johnston commands at Richmond, and Lee has gone South to meet Sherman. Intended operations against Mobile. A letter from Cairo to the New York Tribune says that the Federal army now going to the Southwest is intended for the capture of Mobile and then to operate against Selma, Montgomery, and other cities. It says: If the enemy evacuate Mobile, and escape with his garrison to Selina, he will no doubt be joined at that place by Taylor's forces and what militia may be at present under arms in Central and Southern Alabama. If so he will have an
