of much importance as a military centre. A strong guard will be left here, and the base of supplies will be changed to Florence. Of this, I have no doubt. The Tennessee is navigable for small boats from Chattanooga to its mouth at all seasons, and for large ones from Florence to its mouth in high water, the only exception being between Decatur and Bainbridge, over the muscle shoals. Around these there is a railroad only forty- five miles in length, and this could be kept open with compaantry and light artillery, Selma and Montgomery will speedily fall into our hands. Those towns would be no further from Florence than Nashville is from Louisville; and Louisville was our base in 1861 and 1862; and Florence is to-day more securely ouFlorence is to-day more securely ours than Louisville was then.

pent two years at the world-renowned University of Gottingen. 1817-18 he passed at Paris, visiting London in the spring of 1818, and remaining for a couple of months at Cambridge and Oxford. "During this time he formed the acquaintance of most of the prominent men of the day in England, among them Sir Walter Scott, Jeffrey, Lord Byron, Thomas Campbell, Davy, Mackintosh, Romilly and others. During the fall of 1818 he revisited the Continent, and spent the winter months between Naples, Florence and Rome. In 1819 he made a short tour through Greece, and returned to the United States the same year, entering immediately upon his Gufies as Professor in Cambridge University. "Shortly afterward he became the editor of the North American Reci, and his powerful pen was employed in vindicating American principles and institutions against the throng of English writers then perambulating through the country and using their efforts to ridicule and bring them into contempt.

e assume naval command there. Stoppage of the Wilmington blockade-running. A telegram from Halifax, Nova Scotia, announces the arrival of a steamer there from St. Thomas and Bermuda, and gives the following intelligence about blockade running: The blockade-runner Owl succeeded in reaching Fort Caswell the night it was evacuated, and immediately returned to Bermuda, arriving on the 21st with the news of the capture of Fort Fisher, and stopping the Maud, Campbell, Old Dominion, Florence, Deer, and Virginia, all ready to sail. The Charlotte and Stag sailed for Wilmington at the same time with the Owl, and the Rattlesnake, Chameleon and Snag between the 13th and 20th, and had not since been heard from. The bark Sacramento, from New York for Rio Janeiro, put into Bermuda on the 16th instant, to land the captain and crew of the ship Ganges, which was fallen in with on the 7th instant, latitude 35, longitude 60, in a sinking condition. The above is probably the brig Gan

see what need he has of a base. It is to be presumed he is subsisting on the country, and he has had no battle to exhaust his ammunition. Before leaving Savannah, he declared his intention to march to Columbia, thence to Augusta, and thence to Charleston. This was uttered as a boast, and to hide his designs. We are disposed to believe that he will next strike at Charlotte, North Carolina, which is a hundred miles north of Columbia, on the Charlotte and Columbia railroad; or at Florence, South Carolina, the junction of the Columbia and Wilmington and the Charleston and Wilmington railroads, some ninety miles east of Columbia. There was a report yesterday that Augusta had also been taken by the enemy. This we do not believe. We have reason to feel assured that nearly the whole of Sherman's army is together at Columbia, and that the report that Schofield was advancing on Augusta was untrue. Firing below Richmond.

ch of them to carry a bed, some chairs and other furniture. These household articles now swell the list of Sherman's trophies. We expressed the opinion on Saturday that Sherman's next step from Columbia would be in the direction of Florence, South Carolina, the junction of the Wilmington and Manchester railroad with the railroad running north from Charleston, that point being in the rear both of Wilmington and Charleston; but we have now, however, reason to believe that his main column will advance directly north towards Charlotte, North Carolina, and will content himself with striking the railroad at Florence with his cavalry. This last plan he may be prevented from executing by the activity and address of General Hampton. It is necessary to his safety that he should move, as he has done hitherto, with his army well massed. A strict adherence to this policy has prevented our numerically inferior forces from giving him battle. They have been obliged, by the sheer weight of hi

to Petersburg. Probably General Sherman's course will be governed by the strict military reasons for passing or capturing Charleston, without regard to sentiment. The exigencies of the situation will determine his movements. What we can affirm is, that his present course in the occupation of Branchville directly cuts one of the two northerly lines of Charleston.--Even should he aim directly at Wilmington, his course would lead him upon the other railroad line, that from Charleston to Florence. With the severance of this, the isolation of the city is complete, and its voluntary evacuation not improbable, as the enemy himself confesses. By the introduction of a little judicious strategy, he handles the rebellion with vexatious adroitness. He cuts lines of supplies, he flanks on all sides, and compels evacuation. If Charleston should fall, as Atlanta and Savannah fell, like them it would be "fairly won"--Sherman clearing the city as a dexterous oysterman scoops out a bivalve.

ible. The direction of Sherman's march promises to secure this specific object. At the same time, it is, of course, desirable for him to cut off from the enemy's main force as many as possible of the small detachments which he has left in garrison at different points His advance upon Branchville cut off Hill and Hood. His movement upon Kingsville, before threatening Columbia, forced Hardee and Beauregard upon diverging lines of retreat; and, if our cavalry were fortunate enough to strike Florence, or Schofield to seize Wilmington before Hardee's arrival at these places, the latter general will be thrown entirely out of the immediate sphere of operations. These masterly combinations are inestimably efficient in preventing accessions to Lee's forces.

ys: I have directed Commander Creighton to proceed carefully up Black river, and have dispatched the tug Catalpa, with Lieutenant-Commander Henry and Ensign Glass, prepared to open communication, by the army code of signals, with General Sherman, who is said to be some twelve miles off. Officers from General Schofield's army, who left Wilmington the 1st instant, bring the important intelligence that deserters and refugees who came into our lines on that day reported that Florence, South Carolina, had been evacuated by the rebels on account of a flank movement by General Sherman, who was moving in the direction of Fayetteville, North Carolina. Affairs in Wilmington — the business to be done by "loyal" people. A letter from Wilmington, North Carolina, dated the 25th ultimo, gives some account of that city under Yankee rule.
