As soon as Sheridan had rested his men and horses he moved directly for Danville, and has ere this occupied the place, as it was but seventy-five miles distant. This places his force directly in Johnston's rear, and cuts oil' his hope of escape Gon: Sherman moved from Goldsboro on Monday last for Raleigh and between Sherman and Sheridan the public may judge of Johnston’s chances of suc cess. Important news from these columns is hourly expected: TLo greater portion of the Anny of the Potomac will speedily returu to the vicinity of Richmond and Petersburg, to await further developn ents.
