The latest Southern pipers report that Gen.
Sherman has abandoned the shortest route for
Augnsta, atd appears to be drifting towards
Savannah. He was delaying for the purpose
of gathering supplies while his territorial
range was not too cmtracted by the operations
Of Wheeler.
The AngnstaCrnstitn ionalist thinks ?be has
not for a moment hesitated ae to the paint to
be attacked or the road to it," saying, ?-rhe
enemy broke camp at Louisville early on the
morning of the id instant, abandoning the
shortest route to Augusta, moving by a new
route in the direction of Savannah."
The Constitutionalist also lays ont the fol
lowing enmpaign for Sherman, as being the
natural and feasible one:
"Forage and provision trains full, he will
pass his entire army to Millen, then throwing
his cavalry in the rear, will put wagon trains
between the two wings of his army and march
in compact columns steady and cautiously on
the city ot Savannah. The Ogeechee and its
Tew crossings and terrible swamps on his right
and the Savannah river on his left both flanks

to the city,

Wr rom the Richmond Inquirer, Dec. 6 1

last night states that Gen. Wheeler has inflicted
another severe blow upon the enemy. The lo
cality of this fl^ht is not given, for sufficient
reasons. It occurred last Sunday morning

They came np boldly to the attack, and made
wf.Tera' c^arRe?- all of which were repulsed by
w heeler s men, who.though largely outnum

down the foe. The despatch states that the en

Kilpatrick was wounded.

Tbe Movement en Lee's Right Flank.
The mail steamer Cossack arrived here at
one o'clock to-day from City Point.
She confirms the reported massing of the sec
ond and fifth corps near the Jerusalem plank
road Tuesday night, aud their subsequent
march towards Stony Creek Station on Wed
nesday night.
Up to the hour at which the Cossack left City
Point?10 o'clock yesterday morning?nothing
definite bad been beard a9 to the resnlt of the
movement, and there was nothing to indicate
that the progress of tbe troops had been stop
pert, or that a fight was going on.
The cold weather Is having a telling effect
upon the rank and file of Lee % army, and
large numbers ot deserters are again coming
into onr lines. The Cossack brought up about
fifty of these poor fellows, who suffered much
from the cold, being thinly olad in most in
stances and without blankets.
Tbe Cossack ran aground last night off Mary,
land Point, where she laid about four hours
before being able to get off, which will account
lor ber late arrival here.
REJOICING IN TBI NAVY OVER TUB RE
FLECTION OF PKE8IDKNT LINCOLN'.
U.S. Ship Niagara, Artwbrp, 22d Nov.,
1S61 $ir: Telegrams yesterday announced
the re-election of his Excellency President
Lincoln. The Niagara was immediately dressed
with our national flag flying at her mastheads.
Considering this to be the greatest and most
important contestof the war, and most glorious
in its results, I have again dressed ship to-day,
and at noon fired a salute of twenty-one guns.
It is, I believe, the first time since our national
existence, that such a demonstration was made
by any of our ships of war, but the occasion
seems so momentous and all-elorious to me,
that I could not resist the impulse to thus man
ifest my joy.
I have tbe honor to be, sir, yoar obedient ser
vant, Thok. T. Cratkx,

IlBADqCARTBKS ARMY OF THB POTOMAC,
Dec. ?, p. m.?Yesterday morning, at daylight,
tbe Fifth Corps, with the third division of the
Second and two brigades of Gregg's cavalry,
started South.
They were beard lrom yesterday afternoon,
and had crossed the Nottoway river on th?
Jerusalem road, without meeting opposition
of any consequence. They crossed on pon
toons, which they took up after doing eo.
Deserters who came in this morning state
that Mahone's division was s ent off yesterday
morning to meet them, but as no firing in
that direction has been h?ard to-dav, It is not
believed that any engagement has taken place
Dk'Imbkp. 9, a. m?A reconnoitering force
cavalry went out on the left yesterday after
noon, and striking the rebel pickets on the
Vanghn road, drove them to Hatcher's Rub, a
distance of over two miles, wheje they had
breastworks erected, and where th*y uaadt? a
stand.
Skirmishing continued for some time, when
the object of the movement having been accom
plished, the expedition returned.
Our loss was seven men wounded; thatof the
enemy unknown.
Some ot those who accompanied this party
report that firing was heard in the direction of
Stony Creek, which would indicate that fight
ing was going on between General Warren
and the enemy.
Reports are current that an early evacuation
of Petersburg may be looked for; but very lit
tle attention is paid to these rumors.

OPINIONS OF THE RICHMOND PRESS.
The Army Concentrated en December oth
and Marching Southwest of Milieu.
[From the Richmond Whig, Dec. 6.]
We have reason to believe, from all we have
heard, that Sherman's army was united, and
is marching with measured pace towards the
Atlantic coast, south or southwest of Millen.
We also have reason to anticipate a battle at
ecme point north or northwest of Savannah
ere the cloeeof the present week.
From Georgia.
(From Richmond Examiner, Dec. 7.J
The military drama in Georgia is drawing
rapidly to its denouement. General Sherman
is at last approaching the ccast whither he has
been tiaveling twenty-three days. Whether
he will complete the "journey or not depends
very much upon certain events which will oc
cur this week. There are troops in his front
who will resolutely dispute his further ad
vance towards Savannah or Darien, after he
passes a certain point. It is reported that his
advance was skirmishing yesterday morning
with our outposts. We do not know what
Sherman will do when he finds a formidable
force in bis front, but are disposed to believe
that be will discard strategy, and attempt to
break through tbe lines of bis opposers. Let
bim do what be will, he will certainly teel
that never was General in a more critical sit
uation.
The Augusta Constitutionalist of the 3d inst.
says thai just before going to press it was in
formed that the enemy's main body had passed
Millen, en route lor the coast or destruction.
In a paragraph previously written, it says :
?'Sherman, from all reliable sources, seems
to have halted recently in order to grind corn
As he tends towards tbe barren counties of the
South, it became necessary to make tbe proper
Srovision. His foraging parties are constantly
riven in by our cavalry, and compelled to
bug tbe main body. His forage is reported to
be short."
A letter in the Constitu'localist, from Mil
ledgeville, says;
"The Yankees were admirably cljthed and
appointed. Each man had eighty ronuds ot
ammunition, while their wagons contained
fixed material without stint. Rations forfor.y
days had been prepared, aud they suffered for
nothing."

Ac., and has been on this duty since Septem
ber, 1662. Witness has paid the accused from
some time in 1563 to October, 1564, as lieutenant

An objection was raised by the accused that
as the act of Congress prescribed the pay
of the surgeon, the witness could not be
questioned as to such, ana the court was
cleared. On reopening the doors the Judge
Advocate stated that the objection was sus
tained.
Major Hntchins resumed ?He had received
directions in relation to commutation of ferage.
The accused had received from witness the
pay ot a lieutenant of cavalry for each month,
to include September 3iith last. Witness had
n<>ver paid any commutation of forage for Dr.
Keasby.

and others. Witness also testified to the entries
of May 12, and read the naroe^Tlarvey Harri
son, John Mason, B. Newton. Wm. Adams,
Jos. Smith, Wm. Smi^h, and Robert Wells.
Some of these were presented by C. A. Keasby
und others by H. H.Arnold; some accepted and
others rejected for each.
At this stage of the proceeding a recess was
taken till one o'clock.
On i <?assembling at one o'clock the examina
tion of Capt. J. C. Putnam was resumed.
