noLwithstanding the preseneo, appeals, prayers aad

Mosby was so fortanatc as to capture qaitc a large
number »f the wr3tclies who perforiaed this inhu

isjusd an order ordering seven of them to be eze*

while his a^my is eficient, high spirited, and
aazious to engag« the enemy.—Rich. Ditpatch.
We hare additional evidence of Sheimaa'a
purpose to “cut loeso" ftom Atlanta and make a
“grand movement" which will surprise the uni
verse. He has disoc vered, at last, that it is “an
impossibility" to maintain his eommunicatioa by
railroad from Chattanooga to Atlanu, aud fiadiag
that Hood Las gone on an exploring exped'tioa
into Middle Tennessee, Le abandons the “vigo-
roas pursuii." aad pr«pares fur a “grand novu-
meat soulhwaid." Oae preliminary to this
muvemsnt is th« abandonment of Atlanta, aad
wc leatn from aa apparently authentic aourcc
that the evacuation ct taas place has been osi^.
aieneed, and by this time may have bees eon-
uladcd.
The importaat questioa to be decided, horaver,
is, “where is Sherman going, wnat ia his destina
tion?” Som3 ot the yaakee jjurna.s have inti
mated that Augosta, or Sarannah, or CharUston,
is the “objioiive point" ot ttie pending oaupaifa.
We believs-that he will not aim for either of tho«e
places. If he n«8 really abaaaoned the “pursuit"
of Hood, onr opinion 1b that he wiil direct kis
steps through AiaDama towards the Gulf of Mexi-
«o, audar the sapposition that he will eneouatar
but slight epposiuoa in that direction. He will
first attempt to destroy Hood’s line of railroad
c^nmuniMktion in Alabama aad will ttien march
to Selma, from wbienoe He will proceed, if ho ean,
to Mobile.

ted that an entire company of Yankees'—officers

called inside oor sides, net a man was found miss

Warden^of the Poor and Jailers.—\ti. tha
oase of Wm. B. Harrison, a warden of the poor,
the>6npreme Court decided he was a State officer,
and therefore exempt from military duty in the
army. But in the same ease it is held that a
jailor is not a public officer, though claimed for
exemption by the General Assembly. The eaaa
of a jailor, therefore, depends upon tka question
whether the State Leg'slatnre can exempt aoj
one liable to .military duty who is not a State offi*
cer? As the quostion waa not before the Court,
It wafl not decidcj; but the intimation waa that
a jailor is not exempt.—Ral. Vonfederof.
