his city. "We have taken stronger places," were his words, "and we will take Nashville." From Sherman's army — account of the capture of Fort M'Allister. The Cincinnati Commercial publishes a long history of the march of Sherman through Georgia. It is rather dull, and as the following summary of it contains about all the lies given in the original, we give it: It was, in the main, uneventful, so far as fighting was concerned, hardly anything in that way having occurred between Atd. The army moved in four columns. Howard on the right and Slocum on the left, with the cavalry in front and rear. In this manner it covered a strip of country nearly sixty miles in width, for three hundred miles. Sherman has cut through Georgia a swath of sixty miles, and has completely destroyed the great railroad quadrilateral of which Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and Savannah are the four corners. The railroad leading east from Atlanta to Augusta is destroyed for over seventy miles, inc

hes, camp and garrison equipage, $30,000,000. Arrest of some of the St. Albans raiders. A telegram from Quebec, dated the 21st, shows that the Canadian authorities, frightened at the clamor in the United States, have disregarded the decision of their courts and arrested some of the discharged raiders. It says: It is understood that immediately after the issuing of the proclamation in reference to the rebel Canadian raiders, Major-General Dix dispatched a confidential agent to Canada. This gentleman returned to New York, satisfied that the Canadian authorities were taking all necessary steps to perform their international obligations. The best understanding prevails between the Quebec and Washington Governments. Mr. Thurston, Vice-Consul at Quebec, is also sick.

Young and two other St. Albans' raiders were recaptured to-day at St. Francois, sixteen miles from Riviere du Loup. They were on their way east. It is thought that the entire party will be arrested.

A free school for female negroes was recently opened in Baltimore, in the lecture-room of the Bethel Church, Saratoga street, under the auspices of the American Missionary Association.

We have received copies of New York papers of Saturday, the 24th instant. From Hood's army. The latest intelligence from the "pursuit" of General Hood is from Nashville on the 23d. The telegram says: The latest accounts from the front locate General Thomas's headquarters at Rutherford Hill, yesterday morning, eight miles this side of Columbia. Since that time our forces have crossed Duck river, and have moved to a point south of Columbia. Our cavalry forces crossed at Hunter's ford, below Columbia, and dashed into the town, the enemy meanwhile retiring without firing a shot. We captured about fifty stragglers. The rebel force was, at last accounts, at Pulaski, yesterday morning. They are probably some distance south of that place to day. They are closely followed by our cavalry. No particular damage was done to the town of Columbia by the passage through it of the two armies. At least one third of Hood's army are without arms and equipments, everythin

main army. No doubt is entertained of the capture of Savannah; but Sherman never intended more than a demonstration against Macon and Augusta to deceive the enemy, and in this he was perfectly successful. A letter gives the following description of the capture of Fort McAllister--a little earthwork, which was never intended for defence on the land side: Last night, General Sherman's right, Howard's wing, was thrown around the city, and his cavalry and pickets rested on the Ogeechee river. General Sherman made a careful reconnaissance last evening before dusk, detected the weak points of the work, and instantly formed his plan for its capture. He gave his orders to carry out his plan, and designated Hazen's division of the Fifteenth corps to assault it. At half-past 4 o'clock this morning, General Hazen placed his division in position, with another division of the Fifteenth corps as a support, and when all his preparations were completed, the order was given, and hi

A letter from Annapolis, Maryland, says: Colonel Mulford leaves in the New York, on Tuesday next, for Richmond, via James river, to settle up his business with the Confederate authorities and confer with Commissioner Ould as to the basis of a further exchange.
