. The army is safe, intact, and existing, to serve as a nucleus around which reinforcements may rally. 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. We do not think he is likely to find them. With his main force he is already moving north; his object being, no doubt, to pass through South and North Carolina, and, as far as he can, destroy all the communications between those regions and General Lee's army. It appears to be thought by many that the winter, and the bad weather, will impede his advance to unite with Grant.

Said boy is about five feet six or seven inches high; light gingerbread color; about fifteen years old; quite likely and intelligent; with short woolly hair.
