The Richmond Examiner, of tbe 20th, says: We have distinct confirmation of the report of the movement on the part of Thomas. His force consists almost entirely of mounted infantry and oavalry. His work (is to open the Alabama River from mout to source, involving the capture of Mobile, Selma and Montgomery, the cap ture of Columbus, Georgia, for the destruc tion of the machine shops there, and the destruction of the railroad through central Alabama and tbe Mobile & Ohio Railroad from Corinth southward.

The arraangements already made for inauguration indicate that the managers design it to surpass any previous ball . of that character ever given in Washington. The mail steamer this morning brought. up 18T rebel deserters. RICHMOND EXAMINER UPON THE SITUATION. TION. ' The Richmond Examiner of the 21st has an article upon the situation, from which the following is extracted : There is not at this moment so much to alarm us in reality as there was last May It is true we have not so many troops, but neither has our enemy by a great deal, on that occasion, too, when Butler could and did land his forces at City Point with out any opposition or loss; but this year Sherman has to fight his way through many swamps and lakes, or turn many batteries and leave many blue coats' corpses behind him ere he can hope to see a Vir ginian railroad. It is hoped the President will not re lieve Beauregard at the very crisis of his campaign, and appoint General Pember ton ia his place, with orders to the latter slip around to Sherman's rear an d march away to Mobile, but, barring this, or some other squally erroneous blunder or crime, seems evident that Sherman has before him a much more difficult and perilous part than Butler had last year, and in tbe meantime his devastating march through South Carolina is no more conquering that State than his great laid through Georgia converted that State to Unionism. Richmond is safe if all parties do their duty. - ' ' to-day GEN. SCHOFIELD'S REPORT. Gen. Schofield makes the following report: ' FT. ANDERSON, Feb. 19. Lieut Gen. Qrant; Gkkkbal: I have the honor to report the success of our operations against Fort Anderson and the adjacent works cn both sides of Cape Fear River. Yesterday, while the guns maintained heavy fire upon Fort Anderson, I passed the enemy on both sides of the river and sent Gen. Cox about sixteen miles around swamp to turn the enemy's right. This force made its way along a narrow defile between two swamps, completely turning the enemy's position. As soon as the movement became known to the ene my he abandoned his works and retreated toward Wilmington. We captured ten guns,' uninjured, and a considerable amount of ammunition. We have about five hundred prisoners. Loss in killed and wounded small on either side. The troops are pursuing the enemy and the gunboats moving up the river. Fort Anderson and its collateral works are very strong, and rendered almost inac cessible by swamps. A small force could have held them till the supplies were ex hausted. ' " My impression is that the rebels have lines of defense behind Tom Creek, where in be it S. dia m PPOB to make a stand. probably only be a short one.
