Sherman's movements.

--The Charleston Courier of the 2d instant contains the following about Sherman's movements in South Carolina:

‘ "A dispatch from Broxton's bridge, about half past-seven o'clock Wednesday night, says: ‘'The enemy advanced to-day across Whippy swamp, driving our cavalry on our left six miles to this place. They are supposed to be in heavy force. A column of cavalry is on the Augusta road, moving rapidly Her some unknown point.'’

’ "Another dispatch states that the enemy had possession of McBride's bridge. Skirmishing was going on in front of Broxton's bridge. Kilpatrick, with one brigade of cavalry, is reported moving in co-operation with the Seventeenth army corps. There can be no doubt the enemy is trying to reach Branchville. All was quiet at Salkebatchic.

"A dispatch from Adam's run. February 2d,, says: ‘'The enemy came up in two barges to Young's island yesterday about noon and drove in our picket. They fired several buildings and plantations and retired this morning. There are three steamers off White Point, and a landing is threatened.'’"
