co-operating with an army of observation. The Cincinnati Times, on the question of subsistence, says: Sherman has been chiefly occupying his time in laying in a full supply of hard bread and beef cattle; and he has with him, of the former, sixty days full rations and several thousand head of the cattle.--For all things else he will depend on the country over which he is to pass. His animals can subsist well. Corn and sweet potatoes are abundant. During the week ending on the 5th instant, he gathered in one thousand seven hundred and sixty wagon-loads of corn, four hundred and thirty-six loads of sweet potatoes, and a few horses, without sending his foraging parties more than thirty miles from Atlanta. He could manage to live for six months without communication once with the North. In reference to his cavalry, he feels certain of his ability to obtain horses enough to keep good his original stock; and perhaps he may be enabled to mount some more men. Kirby Smith

permission of the warden, will be destroyed. VI. Special.--The warden may, from time to time, permit one copy of a newspaper extract or telegram to be given to prisoners, which, after examination, will be returned by the guard to the office. A failure to make return to the guard by the prisoner will involve the withdrawal of this order. VII. Guards.--All guards and other persons, except those assigned or permitted by the warden to attend to this special duty, are forbidden to hold any intercourse with the prisoners of war, or to intrude upon the quarter of the prison in which they are confined. The guard in charge will report all persons violating this rule. VIII. The furnishing of supplies to prisoners of war, by gift or purchase, having been forbidden by the Hon. Secretary of War, none such will be delivered until further orders. Nathaniel Marion, Warden. Office Ohio Penitentiary, Columbus, November 12, 1864. All letters sent to office on Mondays and Fridays.

A fine band of music headed the procession.

We have received New York papers of Monday last, the 5th instant. General Hood's movements in Tennessee--his army in sight of Nashville. The Herald publishes a long history of the battle of Franklin, which confirms what has before been published — that Schofield got a whipping and fell back eighteen miles to Nashville. The Yankees now claim to have captured only six hundred Confederates instead of one thousand, and do not say anything more about the death of General Cleburne being "confirmed." A telegram from Nashville, dated the 4th instant, says: No new developments have taken place to-day, except that our army still encircles the city on the southeast, its wings resting on the Cumberland river. The enemy's lines are clearly to be seen from high points in the suburbs and from the capitol. They are entrenching themselves in a southwestern direction, about three miles from the city. During the day, heavy skirmishing occurred on our left, and progressed along t

it as we hear it. The impression gains strength, among both our soldiers and citizens, that the rebels are evacuating; and if this be so, the march on Kentucky may be said to have commenced. We think this is quite possible — indeed, probable. Sherman's march — his mail forwarded to the coast. The Yankees really have no news from Sherman; but, in default of it, they publish the following telegram from Washington: In addition to the admissions of the Richmond papers of the 5th instant that General Sherman's main army had reached Millen, the authorities have information, of unquestionable reliability, that General Sherman's main army had already passed Millen without a battle and without the expenditure of any ammunition except what was used in the two or three skirmishes of detachments already reported. Having passed Millen, there is no opportunity for any rebel force whatever to interrupt his march to the point upon the coast for which he originally set out, and wher

Latest Foreign news. The European news, to the 5th instant, is very interesting. Earl Russell has made the following reply to the dispatch of the Confederate commissioners and the manifesto of the Southern Congress: Foreign Office, November 25, 1864. Gentlemen: I have had the honor to receive the copy which you have sent me of the manifesto issued by the Congress of the so called Confederate States of America. Her Majesty's Government deeply lament the protracted nature of the struggle between the Northern and Southern States of the formerly united Republic of North America. Great Britain has, since 1783, remained, with the exception of a short period, connected by friendly relations with both the Northern and Southern States. Since the commencement of the civil war, which broke out in 1861, Her Majesty's Government have continued to entertain sentiments of friendship equally for the North and for the Smith. Of the causes of the rapture, He

We have received a copy of the Washington Chronicle of Sunday, the 25th instant. There is nothing of interest in it. The latest intelligence from New Orleans was to the 17th instant. The prize schooner Julia, of Nassau, with an assorted cargo, was captured off Brazos river, on the 5th, by the United States steamer Dacotah. She had arrived safely at New Orleans. The gunboat Narcissus was blown up in Mobile Bay, on the 9th instant, by a torpedo. No lives were lost, but several persons were scalded. All the material was saved. The boat will probably be raised. General Dana has ordered all arms, ammunition and military pyrotechnics in the hands of private citizens to be shipped north of Cairo previous to the first of January. Persons found south of Cairo with such property, or the materials used for their manufacture, will be arrested and imprisoned. There is nothing from Thomas or Sherman. The New Haven Journal announces the pardon by Lincoln of Tu

We have received Northern papers of Thursday, the 5th instant. The Yankees in Savannah — what they are doing to blind the people — public meeting of citizens — Adoption of resolutions — Sherman Permits them to send North for provisions. The Yankees are playing a new game in Savannah, which they hope will succeed. We copy some of the statements relative to the position of affairs there, and some of the new expedients adopted to support the people. They are from the New York Post. We may also state here, from Southern sources we know that Sherman has taken the first step to "taking charge of the banks," (robbing them of their money, of course,) and that he has also notified the citizens that those who, in fifteen days, do not take the oath, will be sent into the Confederate lines. This is but the beginning of another Butler rule. On the 25th ultimo. Sherman issued the following order "for the government of Savannah": Headquarters Military Division of the Missi

conferring with members as to measures of peace, while he (Mr. Cox) was in favor of sending Montgomery Blair to Richmond to learn authoritatively what the South will do. Secretary Stanton gone South. A Washington telegram, dated the 5th instant, says: The Secretary of War has gone to Fortress Monroe, Hilton Head and Savannah to consult with General Grant, Foster and Sherman on important matters relating to the service. The supplies and exchange of prisoners, organization of coaryland, Captain Cathcart, yesterday, was moored at one of our wharves, she being the first sail vessel that has arrived since the re-occupation of the city by the Union forces. Looking for Mosby. A dispatch from Washington, dated the 5th instant, announces the failure of a scout for Mosby. It says: A scout set out, last week, to look for Mosby, under command of Major Frazer. They proceeded to Mr. Lake's house, where Mosby was wounded, near Rector's cross-roads, and learned tha

The fire brigade who made such a grand parade in Savannah last Tuesday week, was, as we learn from the Northern papers, composed of negroes. Latest from the Southwest.--Thomas moving up the Tennessee river. The following official dispatch has been received at the War Department: "Macon, January 7, 1865. "General S. Cooper: "General Hood reports from Tupelo, January 6th, 1865, that Thomas appeared to be moving up the Tennessee river. "Up to 9 o'clock A. M. on the 5th, scouts report that six gunboats and sixty transports had passed Savannah, going towards Eastport, loaded with troops and supplies. G. T. Beauregard." The Savannah mentioned in the above dispatch is on the Tennessee, thirty miles above the northern boundary of the State of Mississippi, and about seventy-five miles northwest of Florence. Eastport is on the Mississippi line. The Tennessee river flows thence almost due north. It is difficult to say what Thomas is aiming at in mo
