"PBES3" UPOX SHKEilAN. Every additional mail from the United States strengthens os in tbe belief that tbe people of the North re y for succefs.in Shermm's "grand campaign," upon the hypothesis tbat he will be allowed to march Bnin terrnpted through the heart of tbe South. They have ac instinctive fear of the least opposition to his pro gress, and they foresee, in a delny on his part to reach tbr; h. pal fcr goal, the m-si disastrous consequences. For this reason, their Press bolsters up the people's hopes by proclaiming that Ie can affjrd do succor to the caaee in Georgia;'that Wilmington, Savannah and Charleston are dependent upon their garrisons for Eafe ty ; that Hood, watched by Thomas, is irjcapable of sweeping down upon Sherman's rear that, in brief, Sherman has nothing to fear from asy armed Confed erate force in his advance, and, that, therefore, having nothing to fear, he cannot be otherwise than euccess:u5. Following up this idea, the Philadelphia Press thus gently balances itself into delusive dreams, in an edito rial entitled "Sherman. Unopposed :" To U3 the military problem seems not what Sbermau but what the rebels will do. For the first time ia the war, a preat Union army has been lib-rated from the necessity of defending a position or confronting a rebel force, and is b e to move independently ii any direction its comman der may choose. Tbe pieppnco of an army as large and Weil appointed as that of SheFrcan in the very heart of the Confederacy, kepired with a just cotfidence in its strength, perfectly untramelled and almost unopposed, is a new ele ment in the war, ard revulim jniz a the entire situation Hberrrau move into the granary of lbs South and noon he centre of i!B g-eat radroad cemmunicati n. Unless hi? march is thwarted, he will cut the Confederacy into pi' i es. Our readers ere pretty well am-re, by this time, that Sb"iuian. bas been '.'oppoeeJ" somewhere in Georgia iLetd, his march ras been "thwarted," and that the poicy of prancing ufiiuterrupttdly through avast tract 01 bt8tiie cent) try, burning, pillagiag acd destroying, has bc-n conUsted, somewhere, by an army that, possi biy, Sherman may never have taken ioto "consideration in the formatiou of his plans. Impte'sed, them, wiih the agreeab'e faneirs tbat it haa pictortd to i. self in a glnnc3 at the abject condition of tbe Confederacy, the Pitss thus satisfactorily dispo- eea of the whole subject iu 0 grand review cf the situa- iio: : 'e hold it to be eelf-ev'dcct that Lee can ex'end no help to '-he cotton States, and Las d fficnltv enouih in takintr care of the rebl capital- Nor can Ho d, still at Florence, escape the vigilante of Thomas. In ..he meanwhile Sber- man ia advancing wrh fifty taousand men on Angueta, and evtry tramp cf that steady march makes the hollow erouod of the rebellion tremble. What ia his ultimate ol jrcn we do not care to guess, but all arouud him are he storehou ses of the Confederacy. It is not what he will do, but what the rebels can d j, that excites specuation, and unles? there are armies in the Sooth of which nothing has ever been heard, we must believe that they can do nothing, The Press, in the above, repeats the stale old rumor that Sherman hes a beggarly array of fifty thousand men, only, with him. Why not enter into the spirit of the occasion, end, with the New York Herald, award him bis due meed of seventy thousand ? In the picture of the future tbat the Press corjans before ts imagina tion, doea it tea the vision of Sherman entering CbarleetoD or Savannah, or Wilmington, with banners flyiDg, and with the tread of an "unopposed" con queror ? If it dees, it sets that which shall corot to pass when Vanderdecken, come to life again, shall die- cover El Dorado, acd when Pres'er John, seated uron hia elephant, shall appear once more about the tioie of the Greek Kaleuda. MOVEMENTS OF KIRBY SMITH. The St. Louis correspondence of the New York Her ald contains the following, under date of November 18LL : A rnmr haa been circulated on onr streets for two or three daja that Kirby Hmiih has moved around Little Rock in the same manner as Price, and is menacing onr troutier again. An evening paper gave currency to the report, and it excited some attention. .Al l knowledge ot the movement is denied t Gen Rtsecrans' headquarters, and if it has oc curred to any extent the cause U attributed to a feint to cover Price's retreat. It is well known that when Price came into this State he was promised co-operation by Ma grader. The rebel papers in Mobile and Georgia, referring to rice s movement upon Missouri, spoke openly of Ma- grcder and Kirby Bruith taking care of Steele at Little Hock. The inference ia that the rebels in Arkansas have been advised of Price's disasters, aad have made a demon stration northward toward the southeast to divert attention from Price i 1 the southeast. The following, from the Philadelphia Inquirer, is a detailed account of Mosby'a last victory, a Drief refer ence to which has already appeared in our columns : MCSBY AMBU3HE9 A PARTY 0? UNION CAVALRY. Harper's Ferry, via Baltimore, Nov. 21. In myjast dis patch to the Inquirer, i mentio&ed the fact that a party of guerrillas made an attack on a cavalry escort near Win chester, a few days since. For the purpose, if possible, of intercepting and capturing the attacking party, Captain Brasher's Independent Scouts, attached to General Crook's scouting command, started though Loudon county on Fri day last. The command were in the saddle all day 3nd finally reached Cabletown, on tbe Shenandoah river, about bix:een miles from Harper's Forry. The next morning Captain Brat her captured two of oloa- bj'a meu and received information from them that a small party from the guerrilla chieltaiu a ou laws wero about two miles from Cabletown. Captain Brasher started with two of his men on a reconnoitenng expedit ion, and discovered a party of between thirty aud forty of the enemy. He qnu kiy returned to his main t ody, consisting of sixty-two men, and proceeded at once tr meet t'iem. As soon as the enemy were in sight. Captain Braeher drew np his men in line and charged them The Rebels fell back until the rear of Cap ain Brasher command had paessd a cross road, when tooaby, with over two buadred men, made a Budden daeh on bth sides of the road, aad a sharp en counter enued. The Union scouts weie confiaed at, this time in a narrow lane, without mnch chance to manceavce, and were consequently surrounded and sunjicted to a dead;y fire. Twemy-two of Brasher's command were kill ed on the spot ; amutg the rumber was Lieutenant Cole. Light were wounded, and the balance, thirty-two in nam bfer, were captured.

His sud den return to the army from tbe North, is not without eignifieance.- He withes to discover with b:s own eyes, whether Petersburg is btiog evacuated tr n , whether Gen. Lea hbs detached a large portion 1 f,:s army to head cfi Sherman, in bis bold da . wwou h Georgia. He will most probably make a uouuois sance in force to ascertain this fact. The Yankees are sending out tiequent scouting par ties in tbe counties below, who commit the most fli- grant outrages on the innocent families along tbis route. A few days since, we understand, some 01 tneae paruts vieited Suny Courthouse, and kilted Uapt. Falkland, a citizen of tbat county and proprietor of the Tavern at tbe Uourttou3e. They shot Falkland whilst the latter was endeavoring to escape from them. Numerous oth er outrages are reported committed by small bodies of negro ca airy, some of them too hideous lor record. In a days, if this weather continues, the quiet which has so long reigned along these lines, will most probably be broken by the baron crash of arms, unless indeed, Grant lore goes his long contemplated plan of cuttirg the Southside railroad and thereby stop our tupplies of provisions. At present there is nothing to report beyond a little activity. Deserters continue to cjme in at the rate of ten or a dczan per day. Legislative Summary.

A correspondent of tbe Chicago Tribune, writes from Nashville, Nov. 16th, aa follows : 1 1 ave, heretofore, been reticent with regardto the movements of Sherman ; had I not been so, I might have been ordered out of the department. Bnt the Louisville Journal has disclosed pretty much all, and I ehall now take the liberty of sayicg something about the matter. . The plan of moving through Georgia origiaated with Gen. Sberman, and no one else, and having matured it, be submitted to tbe Secretary of War, who approved it by giving the General unlimited powers in the pre mises. He takes with him the following forces : four teenth corp3, fifteenth corps, ssventeecth corps, twen tieth corps, e;ght thousand cavalry and one hundred and twenty five pieces of artillery, making a total of 50,000 to 60 000 men. Ilia force is amply sufficient for any purpose. The Rebels have about 3,000 men at Savannah, and about the same number at (Jharles'oa, besides militia, who are of little value; and there ara no others to meet him, without weakening Lee, as fi ood could not overtake bim if he were to try to do so ; acd, beside?, tbat indi vidual has enough to do to take care of himself with Thomas watching'him. Sherman will move to the eastward in two columns one will go by way of Mecon and the other direct to Augusta; and a concentration will be effected at the latter place, and then future movements will be deter mined upon as exigences may demand. There are three points, at one of which he will strike Savannah, Charleston or Beaufort; but my impres sion is the last named will be the point. My reasons fcr this conclusion are these : 1. SavanDah,.cut off from ail communications, would ba valueless to the rebels; and the sams reasons which render Mobile unimportant now, will render it more so, with all its railroads cut off. i!. Charleston can be cut cfi by moving down the railroad to Branchville, twenty or thirty miles to the west ; and it is high'y probable that will be Sherman's lirje of march. 3. Beaufort is already in our possession. We have an abundance of shipping and supplies there, and our men will need the latter, after their long march, and, therefore, it is highly probable that Beaufort will be the new base of Gen. Sherman. Nevertheless, circumstances may intervene to change the policy indicated above, but I believe tbat the Gen eral now intends to reach Beaufort, but not until he has completely isolated both Savannah and Charleston. Tbe present movement will be productive of the most important results. Both Macon and Augusta are uanufactaring towns. Io one of his speeches during bis late tour, Jtff Davis declared that the latter place alone supplied powder enough for the whole Confedera cy. But it is in -respect to communications that tbe greatest advantages are to be derived. Tbe trmy of Hood will be complexly '(isolated ; his army will be as thoroughly separated from that ot Lee as are the forces west of the Mississippi river. Savannah will be no longer valuable as a blockade-running port. Charleston will be cut cfi and Sherman's army, of 55,000 men, will be fiee to act as circumstances de mand, and will be on the sea coast, ready fcr embarka tion at a moment's notice, so tbat they can be,used with Grant or Sberidan, as may be most advantageous ; or, after recruiting, they may be moved through central South and North Carolina, utterly annihilating every railroad by the way, and thus making Virginia the grave of the rebellion. Can Sberman subsist ? Undoubtedly he can. There are two articles in the South io abundance corn and sweet potatoes ; and be takes with him aiy amount of bard tack, and several thousand cattle. His men will live batter than when in camp. We shall hear pretty soon of Sherman. There is no longer any communication with him. and henceintelli gence must be received through rebel sources.

In the proceedings of one cf the Houses of the Geor gia Legislature, on the llth inst., occurs the following passage. It ia proper to explain that the proposition pending was to redui e tbe pay cf members from six dol lars to half a dollar per day, and to pay that in specie, or currency at its specie value : "Judge Stephens thought the law entitled a man to $6. What the people think does not aflect the ques tion. Congress bad voted the President $2000 in spe cie, and nobody bad complained of it, because hia sal ary in currency would not pay bis expenses. The same rule applies to this body. We are entitled, under the law,. to $150 a day in currency, which is equal to $6 in specie." Where Judge Stephens got his information is bard to conjecture. Congress has made no such vote aa io the payment of the President's salary. It is paid in cur rency, atfd without ary itcrease.-Ita rranifeet and great inadequacy, caused some propositions to be made lor additional allowances ; but Congress did not agree upon a bill, and a state of things still continue8 which we are Bure ia very unacceptable to tbe CDantry. It ia not our nnrDOS . in correction Jade Stephens' facts, to interfere in the letst with bia claim for $150 a day. .rerhaps he cooaidera a state istgnt," ana we must bs very particular with gentleman ot hia pecu liar fcchool -and temper, where there is a chinca of bring ing " State Eights " into question.

Army of the Jakss, Nov. 13. The removal of the interdict which haa been' pat upon tbe publication of statements in regard to this work, renders it highly proper that I should report whereof I have seen. - lhe preliminary survey for tbis important work waa made Sunday, August 7th, and tbe work itself com menced on the llth of the same month. The neck of land which forms the bend in tbe J ames River at this point and through whish the canal is cut, is 165 yards across. Tbe excavation ia of sufficient depth below water mark to float the largest gunboats necessary in tbe seige operations to be carried np the river. Upward of fifty thousand cubic yards of earth, most of it dark blue clay, which is very difficult to remove, bavd been already excavated by manual process alone, while the steam dredge engaged in removing tbe deposits from the bed of tbe canal, and widening its mouth, does a work equal to about fifty tons per day. This work, it must be lemembered, has been done un der the frequent, and during the earlier stages of ita progress, the almost inceesant shelling of rebel batte ries. From 50 to 500 men have been employed on the work from time to time. Present force ab out 200, all colored. They appear perfectly happy, digging away in the mud, and saving their " curoswities," as they call the bits of iron pyrites and clay slate which they pick up during their work, for the "lust white hossifer or gem man that comes along." 4kThe entire work will, it ia expected, be completed be fore December, Major Baldwin ia in charge of the mil itary (excavating) force, and Major Mechigio in charge of the engineering force. Printers anil lha Army. The csrrespondent of the Savannah Republican thus speaks : " From all 1 can learn, there is no disposition on the part of Congress to put printers in the army. Fiinting ia considered an art, whicb reqnires much time to learn, acd the disposition of members ia to leave a sufficient number to enable newspaper proprietors to carry on their business. Everybody else about the office, however, including proprietors, editors, book keepers, &c, who are within the conscript age, will, it is believed, be treated aa all other professions, and if able-bodied, be put in the army. It ia maintained tbat a measure of this sort will in no respect touch upon tte liberty or usefulness of the press. Men enough, it ia contended, can be found over forty-five and among dis abled soldiers, to conduct the editorial department of all the papers in the country. Indeed, it is very rarely that we see a man who doea not believe he can edit a newspaper ; whereaa the truth ia there are very few men who possess the requisite qualifications for that re sponsible and unenviable position. Augusta Sentinel. Yellow Fxvkr uc New Orlbaxb. The following extract is from a letter of the New Orleans correspond ent of the Tribune of November 1st : During all the gammer long, diarrhea and dysentery were very fatal in the city and in the hospitals. The dyaenteiy assumed almost an epidemic character. Bil lions remittent fever (properly called brick-born-swamp or lake fever) appeared the first of September. It as sumed the congestive o pernicious form in many cases, and hurled ita victims rapidly away. The terrified, the suspicious and the credulous called it yellow fever, but to the medical profession it was clear that the arch destroying angel, Yellow Jack, had not yet arrived. But it seems that be made tbe per nicious fever his John the Baptist,' to prepare the way for hia own brief but deadly march. During the last of September, and about all of October, Yellow Jack and Billions Jack have walked hand in hand through the navy vessels at New Orleans, through the navy hospital, and through some parts of the city. Their reign ia now almc at over, thank Heaven, bat they have left desolation and mourning behind them.- The U. S. ship Virginia haa suffered very severely. The paymaster, eurgeon and 1st engineer have fallen with 18 or 20 of the crew. The Oneida was ordered to quarantine ; also the captured ram Tennesseewith casea on board. The supply steamer Arkansaa lost three of her crew on her last trip to the Texas squadron and six more on ber return to quarantine. Very many have been attacked,' but as in the case of all epidemics, tbe majority have recovered. The naval hospital haa suffered more than the vessels, for tbe ca ses on many of them were sent there as soon aa attacked. Dr. Bragg, formerly of the Katabdin, ia cumbered among the 100. victims at the hospital where he assist ed. It ia a singular fact, .that scarcely any merchant vessels are attacked, nor does the city suffer as much aa would be expected. Imprisonment of Ministers. A letter from Wash ington, dated October 28 th, says : "Day before yesterday we saw H. Baker, O. Brown J. N. Bell, Mr. Conrad and Mr. Streit eecorted by arm ed men to the guard bouse, with many otbera too nu merous to mention in the number, also Dr. Boyd acd Mr. Williams : in short, all the men in town except the doctors, and some others who manage to keep out of the way. This morning eight or ten wagons were seen moviDg from Semony'a building loaded with gentlemen, each having a carpet bag acd some bed clothes. They went cfi apparently cheerful, calling to their wives to bear up, assuring them that all would end right. None of tbe ministers ara es yet tasen except Dr. isoyd acd Mr. Egelsoa (tbe Methodist presiding elder) Mr. Streit was released od the ground of being over age but some were taken older than be.' ' Distinguished Visit. " Uncle Billy Allen" waa in Selma yesterday. He is just now returning from Vir ginia, where be bas been to visit bis children. Uncle Billy is very old and decrepet, being one hundred and three years of ago; and his gray bairs, venerable conn tenance, together with tbe memories tbat cluster around him of the trials and tribulations ot the war with Urea Britain, enlist tbe sympathies of all good hearted peo pie. He was General Jackson's body servant, and was present with' tbat great man at tbe battle of .New Or leans, of which be speaks a good deal. Me speaks the le dian language fluently, and was Jackson's interpreter and recollecia well tbe death of the British General Packenbam. The old man has become somewhat child i.h, and, beiDg almost bliod, walks with two sticks. He waa on hia way to Salem, Alias , where be resides. Missusippian. Eclipses. The Confederate States Almanac adver tises fear eclipses for next year Uo of tbe eon and two of tbe moon. The first will be of tha moon--eveniDg of April 10th, and visible throughout the uon'ederate States. The second will be of tbe Ban, April 25th, at 8:14 A. M., and of intereat to South Americana and mariners in the South Pacific ocean, bat cf no concern to us, being invisible here. The third will be of the moon on the evening of the 4th of October, and only partially visible in the East ern Confederate Statea. The fourth will be a great and aingular eclipse of tbe saoon the morning of the 19th of October, at which friend Clark prornisea U3 all a beautiful free gratia for nothing," always provided we live till then he weather is fair and we get up in time say by 7:40 A. M., at which hour it will begin at Grenada. Chia eclipse will last about three hours and ten micutea.and prove altogether one of the moat remarkable and interesting phenomena of the year perhaps of the pentury. . Wounded.
