Heed yet at Waynesbore’—He Threatens both Nashville and P: cah—Paducah being Placed ina State of Defense. LovIsvILLE, Nov.25.—The Journal reiterates that Hood’s army occupies Waynesboro’, from which point he threatens both Nashville and Paducah; that the portion of our army con- fronting him are concentrated at Pulaski, and that Paducah is being placed ina state of de- fense. LATE FROM EUROPE. Treaty of Peace Adopted by both the Dan- ish Chambers—Foreign Intelligence in Regard to the Seizure of the Florida. HALirax, N. S., Noy. 25.—The steamship Asia, from Liverpoo! on the 13th and (ueens- town on the 13th, has arrived. A treaty of peace has finally been adopted by both the Danish Chambers. The report that the steamer Laurel has been transferred to Capt. Semmes and the crew to the steamer Sea King, off Madeira, is con- firmed. La France says that Brazil has broken off relations with the United States on account of the seizure of the Florida in the port of Bahia. The Paris Patrie asserts that England has | called upon the Great Powers to protest cel- lJectively against the seizure of the Florida. ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Antelligence via City Point—No Active | Operations Going on—The Weather Cold—Roads Bad—The Reports of Rebel Deserters—Effect of Mr. L: m's Re- election—Free Cir. our Papers Desirable. Our information from City Point isto the effect that the rumors of movements in front of Richmond which have been in circulation the past day or two, are unfounded. The late heavy rains have rendered the roads impassable for trains or artillery, and it will be several days ere they will be in condition to ‘warrant active operations. Last night was a bitterly coldone, and, being about the first real touch of winter we have had here, was severely felt. Ice formed about half an inch thick during the night, while a | very cold wind prevailed. About twenty deserters camein last night, stating that they had heard of Lincoln’s re-el- ection, 8nd, having lost all hope of aspeeay peace. determined to fight no longer. officers tried to keep the result ofthe election from them as long as possible, but they finally dearned the facts from some ot our papers. The circulation of our paper in the enemy’s lines have often proved of great servicein this ‘way, and should be more freely permitted by our commanders. The most strict orders prevails against it in the Army of the Potomac, while in Butler's Department the utmost latitude is allowed to officers and others. GENERAL SHERMAN IN GEURGIA. a Capture of Georgia Legislators_The R cent Attack on Atlanta—Gen. Iverso: Bloody Repulse—Rebel Admissions con. | cerning Sherman’s Successful Progress— | He is Marching in Two Columns through | the State of G . oe | Capture of the Georgia Legislature. | New York, Nov. 23.—The Times’ special | Washington despatch says that Richmond pa- | pers of Monday contain telegrams from Ma- | con, Georgia, dated on Saturday last. They | state that Sherman's advance had reached the outskirts of Macon, and that they had no hope that Cobb's militia force will be able to hold the place. AtGriffin, Georgis, Sherman captured a portion of the Georgia Legislature. Sherman | in his march spread out his forces, and made a wide swath of devastation, and was creating | @ universal panic | Another of his columns was reported to be moving on Auguste and Milledgeville. We have received the Richmond Sentinel | and other Southern papers of Monday, from which we make the following summary ot news:— The Sentinel says:—“The enemy are without | information as to Gen. Sherman's movements, | and we have no intention ofenlightening them on that subject.” i A telegram to Gen. Grant, from City Point, | saye:—-‘The Richmond papers received here, of the 22d, are entirely barren of news. The ‘Tallahassee’? Runs Aground. | We learn on authority just from Richmond that tbe pirate Tallahassee, on running up to Cape Fear River the last time, was chased by our gun-boats, and was accidentally run on a sand bar by her pilot, and her guns, cargo, &c., | were all taken off to lighten her in hopes of | getting her off when the tide came up. but without effect, and she was finally abandoned. | She will probably prove a total loss. The War in Georgia. {From the Richmond Examiner, Nov 21] A press telegram informs us that Sherman was supposed to be at or near Griffin, Ga., on Friday last. Griffin is in Spaulding county, Ga. eixty-eight miles west-northwest of Milledgeville, where the Legislature of Geor- gia isnowin session. It is forty-eight miles from Atlanta and fifty-eizht from Macon. The | population before the war was about two thonsand five hundred. The Two Armies at the South. [From the Richmond Despatch, Nov. 21} | There is not much to be gathered from the | Georgia pepere about the armies of Sherman cr Hood. he assault upon Atlanta on the 8th | seems to bave been under the mistake that the | city was weakly defended. This mistake being | setright by finding a vigorous resistance, the | Assault was given up. Our troops attacked, | under General Iverson, about <anrise, and | drove the enemy from a redoubt on the south side of the town, but were in turn forced back. On the east side, General Lewis drove the | enemy into their fortifications; but as they | showed a good line. The assault was not pressed. It turned out after the skirmishing was over, that the enemy had about twenty | thousand men under General Slocum. The Yankees were about evacuating the city prepa- ratory to Sherman's great march, and some of the Yankees said they were going to Mont- gomery. Genial Hood was at Columbia, Tennessee, | on the 2d, with Thomas’ troops ninety-eight miles in his rear. Forrest is said to be at Paducah. | From Sherman's army we have the intelli- | gence that it is moving in two columns, as the report says, one upon Augusta, and the other upon Macon. Itis not likely that he is about to separate his columns for any length of time; | and his line of march will probably be as fol- | lows:—The column marching on the Georgia State road for Augusta, will go as far as Mad- ison, 60 miles, and there turning to the right, march on Milledgeville, the capital of Georgia. The column marching on Macon will proba- bly go to Crawford’s, within 15 miles of the town, and then turn off to Milledgeville, and form a junction with the other body. By this movement Macon falls, and the enemy are at liberty to move on Augusta by following the Georgia Central Railroad to Brinson ville, and then marching north, or on Savannah, by fol- lowing the railroad to its terminus there. We | shallsoon hear of their cavalry around Ma- | cop, And very near, possibly, to Augusta. Sherman is moving rapidly, and is not much troubled with transportation. He has burned severs] stations atthe depots he has passed, and ts devastating the country generally in | fcraging. { Sherman's Way. (From the Richmond Whig, Nov. 21.} Some time in tbe month ot February last, we ttink it was, Gen. Sherman commenced one of those marvelons movements which the Yan- kees sre so fond of announcing to an astonished world. It was. indeed, marvelous in its con- ception, 6nd in the energy with which it was prosecuted up to a certain point. It would bave been s'l1 more marvelous had it been de- veloped to the point of intended consumation After the falure of the movement and She! 1 an’s returp to Vicksburg, the Northern news- papers. seemingly forgettul ot their recent pre- | menitions, declared it to be nothing more than | & grand reconnoissance, int-nded only to effect ‘he dest 1 Miesiesippi, and to inspire alarm in the | Confederate military AntDorities. No one, | however believed but that tt was indeed | hat it Bed declared to be in advance—an ay. | scious move mentinvolving & Vat and sup. | © combination, looking toa permanent sever. ance of communications between the Atlantic ‘ates and Gnif States, and the conquest of ail ‘ue territory lying between the Tennes-ee River nd the Galf cf Mexico, so far east as the line « ‘be Macon and Atlantic Railroad. In order to effect this purpose, Sherman ¥tarted with a movable column, intending to raverse rapidly bie bore ay or no-one and jabama, urquestionably expecting to over- ebelm or drive before him the comparatively ‘e force under Gen. Polk, and to effect a taem at — on Mobiie Bay, where be would be “atablish @ secure base o ra enabled to « ~ce he could, After effectivg the tion: when eee Mobt..” Control the line of the at abama river as far @> Their | ction of the crops andthe ratlroads ; ™ | yore at. E. corner of 6th and G streets. Navy fivally on the gulf, either at Pasen- | and by threatening Johnston's rear compel that neral to fall back from Dalton to At- Janta, and ultimately from Atlantato Macon. The conception was grand enough, the execu- tion up to a certain point was fanltless; pnt that point the whole scheme failed in cons: quence of the disastrous defeat inflicted by Forrest on the co operating column which had sallied out from Memphis under (teneral A. J. Smith. ‘Sherman bad come with only sufficient supplies to Jast him till he could enter the fer- tile and productive grain-erowing regions of Alabama, or until joined by Smith, who was destined to replenish the Yankee commissariat. But a system of well devised obstractions impeded bis march, and after crossing the State of Micsissippi, he found himself at Meridian still confronted by a formidable force, while bis own diminished supplies and the defeat of Smith warned him of the surely fatal conse- quences of prosecuting his march. While it was yet time he turned and fled, without stri- king a blow, and reached Vicksburg again with an army whicb,in this brief campaign, had suffered as much as if it had passed through a bloody battle. We refer to this episode in the history of the campaign of 1564 in order to exhibit an illus- tration of the dangers which beset the most magnificent schemes and the most andacious enterprises; and likewise because we find in it the ante-type of Sherman’s present movement, admitting that report speaks truly, and the key to his actual designs. The departure from Atlanta and abandon- ment of the Chattanooga base imply an inten- tion to seize some potnt on the coast for a new base, and to effect in this way the coveted sey- erance ofthe Atlantic States from the Gulf States. Whether that objective point is on the Atlantic or on the Gulf, remains to be seen. Be the course ot his march what it may, our methods of defense will be materially thesame, and our resources for that defense very much the same in extent. When Sherman was ca- | reering across the State of Mississippi, a prom- inent General in our service, with fall kaowl- edge of the comparatively small and irregular force leit to oppose him, we are assured, felt confident that with proper energy there were ample means at our disposition in that quarter | tor his discomfiture, and to that end urged the power collection and vigorousemploymentof leavy gangs of negroes in felling the timber acroes the roads, and otherwise obstructing the possible lines of march of the enemy, not only | in his immediate front, but on his flanks, and, as far as practicable, in the rear. By unis means, his march might be delayed until his supplies would be exhausted anda force concentrated for the exigency sufficient to insure his destruction. Added to this, our light cavalry should carry off or consume by the torch all means of subsistence on his flanks. In this simple practicable way and by resort to mtlitary reseurces, of which we have abun- dance in the threatened quarter, we doubt not | Sherman may be caught in the toil from | which there will be no possible escape ot him, aud with that confident expectation we shall look forward to his operations without the least apprehension. | FROM ARKANSAS. | Battle at Fayetteville—Price’s ?Forces gain Defeated. Sr. Lovrs, Novy. 23.—Advices from Fay- etteville, Arkansas, says Colonel Brooks, with 2.50) rebels, attacked that place October 28, but was repulsed with considerable loss. ¥rom that time to November 3, the town was pretty closely invested, when General Fagan, with abontsix thousand of Price’s retreating forces came up, and bombarded the place five hours, with two pieces of artillery, but held at bay until the next day, when Geni Ourtis and Blunt arrived, skedaddled. They lost nearly one thous: killed and wounded. Our loss was one killed. A missionary whotravelled some forty miles with Price in Arkansas,reports that the Gene- ral told him that he had lost over ten thonsand men killed, wounded, and deserted, and that bis expedition into Missouri had been most dis- astrous. FROM OFF WILLMINGTON. A Blockade-rnnner Ashore—Her Subse- quent Escape—Spirited Engagement. Fortress Mowrog, Nov. 22 —The United States gunboat Sassacus (double-ender) ar- rived in Hampton Roads this morning from the blockading fleet off Wilmington, N. ©., with her stern rudder disabled, and otherwise somewhat damaged by the severe gale which has been prevailing for several days along the coast.

St. Lovts, Nov. 22.A Paducah despatch of yesterday says, military affairs in this district are active. Every rebel meve on this side of the Mississippi is now known. The whole country has been thoroughly scouted, and parties bring in prisoners du:'y. The concen- tration of troops and the coming of (teneral A. J. Smith means something, but what, it is not proper to state. A few days, however, will doubtless develop the plan of the contemplated campaign. Both the @ambertand and Tennes- see rivers are in fine boating order, and wilt prove valuable auxiliaries to military opera- tions in Tennessee and Kentucky. The gunboats Peoria and Pawpaw returned here on Sunday froma reconnoisance up the Teupessee river. The bodies of Ensign Hare, of the zunboat Undine, and Captain Allen, of the! transport Venns, killed when their vessels were cap- turea by Forrest’s gunboats, were found. The river is lined with rebel pickets from Pine “luff to Johnsonville. The rebel General Lyon, in command of that district has orders to wach the river closely and blockade it.

LOCAL NEW ges Execution of Charles Williams, a colored soldier. at the Old Capitol, for the mur- der of a colored woman at Camp Casey. This morning, Charles Williams, a colored soldier belonging to the 3ist U. S. Colored Troops, suffered the extreme penalty of the law by being hung for the crime of murder committed by him on the !ith of September last by killing an unknown colored woman at Camp Casey. Williams was to have been ex- ecuted on Friday last, but was respited by the President until to-day to give him an opportnu- wity to prepare to meet his fate, he haying only been informed of the sentence the previous day. Willirms was tried in this city in the early part of September by @ court-martial of which dient. Colonel Cartwright is president, and sentenced to be hung by the neck until dead on the 15th of November, which sentence was duly approved by the proper authorities. Williams 1s about 25 years old, and was born and raised in New York city, where he attend- ed one of the colored schools and learned to read with tolerable proficiency. About the 25th of June last he enlisted in that city asa Tecruit for the 31st Coiored regiment with the understanding. as he says, of being transferred tthe navy. From New York he was sent to reudezvous for colored troops at Galp’s Island, Boston harbor, from whence he was sent in July list, with about 60 other recruits, to Camp Casey, Over the river, where the unfortunate affair for the part in which he took he suffered the penalty to-day, occurred en the 11th of September. He is a fine-looking man of about 170 or 1-0 pounds, and has for anumber of years past been a seaman, running mostly on West India vessels from New York, where his parents re- sided, but at the present time he does notknow their whereabouts, the last time he was there he being unable to find them. fftter his arrest, which happened immedi- ate!y after be committed the deed, he was sent to Le city and confined in the Central Guard- house, where he remained until Tharsday, I7th instant, when he was transferred to the Old Capitol and assigned to acellon the second flo rin Carroll prison. While he was in the Ce 'ralGuardhouse, about three weeks after the deed was committed, he was tried, but he ‘was not informed of the sentence until the day bel re he was to have been executed, (Friday last.) when Mr. Wood, the superintendent of the prison, informed himofit. Thisannounce- Ment was quite unlooked for on his part, and he was fora time wholly unnerved. As soon as Le recovered, realizing as he did his posi- tor, he asked that a minister be sent for, and socn Rev. H. Highland Garnett, of the 15th st:. et Presbyterian (colored) Church, was with him. Mr. Wood and the minister immediately waited on the President, and asked for a re- spite in view of the short notice he had, and they succeeded in procuring for him a respite for one week. . Williams had never paid much attention to religious matters, but as soon as the announce- Ment was made to him that he would be exe- cuted he took measures to prepare himself, and has since almost constantly been engaged ia reading his bible, except when engaged in de- yotuonal exercises with Mr. Garnett and other colored ministers who have visited him. He expresses himself as having found peace with ‘vod, and says his whole trust isin Christ, and that he is willing and prepared to leave this world, begging forgiveness of all he has of- fended, and forgiving all. He says that at the time he committed the deed he was so drunk that he was not conscious of anything, and knew nothing of the affair until he recovered, several hours after, from his stupor, when he was informed of the occurrence. The gallows upon which he was executed bas heretofore been brought into play, several pereons having been executed on it, viz: Wood- ward, for the murder of his wife, hung in the jail yard; Sames Powers, hung in the same place, for the murder of young Lutz, of Balti- more; John Conrad Kessler of Go. K, 103d N. Y vols., hung in the Old Capitol yard, Dec. 5, 1862, for the murder of Lieut. F. Linzy, of the same company, at the 6tn street wharf; Augus- tus Ford, col’d, hung ue 3d ia 1893, inthe jail yard, for mur ‘Adams’ cola; Cornelius, Tuell, hung in the jail yard, on July Sth last, for the murder of ts wife; Charles Fenton Beavers, of Mosby’s gang, hung in the Old Capitol yard on August 26th, for violating his oath of allegiance which he had twice taken. He was arrested as a spy but was not convicted on this charge. On sey- eral oth-r occasions this gallows which has layed so important @ part of late years has des puto ‘Bat not ured. On April ist last, it ‘was up in the jail yard for the purpose of the execution of Jeremiah Kendricks, for the mur- der of Dennis Shanahan in Swampoodle and Emanuel Follard, for the murder of Geo. But- ler, who just before the hour for the execution errived, bad their sentence commuted by the President to imprisonment in the Penitentiary for life. Peter Gooden, colored, was to have been bung with Tuell, in Jaly last, for marder of George Banks, colored, but had his sentence commuted to imprisonment for life just before the hour arrived. Thus this gallows has been the instrument onder the law for causing the death of six persons and has been put in readi- service on numerous other occa- a for 8} . od. gallows is made of very heavy timber, now somewhat weather worn, The extreme height of the uprights which support the beam are twenty-two feet, the platform ts twelve feet from tbe ground and twelve feet equare, one foot higher than the level of the platform is the fatal trap, which was formerly barely large evough for the purpose of executing one person ata time, five feet by five, butnow has been enlarged to ndmit of the execution of four at one time, five feet by eleven. The rope used is of the very best Manilla, procnred throngh the Navy Yard atter a number of pieces procured from the stores in the city had broken under the teet weight of 25 pounds. The rope is made fast to a cleet on either side of the upright, and rubbing through the beam hangs over the trap with a fall of about six feet. THE EXECUTION. This morning the prisoner was up at his usual hour, having, ashe stated, rested very well the previous night, and at once betook himself to his bible, which he has constantly read since he was made aware of the sentence. Revs. H. Highland Garnett, of the Fifteenth street Presbyterian Church, and S. M. Giles, of the Methodist Chapel on D street, Island, (both colored), about 10 o'clock, were admitted to his room, No. 2, Carroll Prison, where they entered with him in devotional exercises. He expreesed himself as ready and willing to aie, having the assurance that Christ wonld take him to Himself. About 11 o'clock, Col. Ingraham, Proyost Marshal. who was charged with the execution of the sentence, arrived at the prison, and ina short time the prisoner got ready, and tn com. pany with the Superintendent of the prison, Mr. W. P. Wood, and the ministers, he pro. ceeded to the Old Capitol, in the yard of which the scstiold was placed. The condemned man was taken to & room on the second floor of the prison, and, with the ministers, engaged in prayer. In the meantime 8 guard of ® men, of the id and [th regiments UGE etree a a RUEE ILE SoeRE Lieut. Col. Colby, entered the prison yard, and formed around three sides of the seatfold. The prisoner wore a black slouch hat, bine pants, and blouse, over which was a light gray coat. At about half-past eleven the prisoner, in company with the ministers and Mr. Wood, came down from the room, being now clothed with the black gown, with the cap hanging down the back, and, preced+4 by Col. Ingra- ham, (who took his position on the northwest corner of the ecaffold,) he walked slowly but steadily up the steps, betraying no emotion, and took his position. Three soldiers ware also on the acaffold. Williams’ arms and legs were tied, and Col. Ingraham read, in a clear voice, orders No. 109, directmg the execution, together with the respite granted by the President on Friday last, and remarked that it was now his duty to see the orders carried into effect. Mr. Garnett bere read the fifty-first Psatm and offered a fervent prayer in the prisover's behalt. Col. Ingraham asked if he had aaything to say. whenina londand clear yoice he urged On those present to take warning by him and not to drink spirituous liquor, which bad led to his present condition. He hopad tha? it would be fair weather with all and thatall present would meetin Heaven. The black cap was here drawn over his face and the fatal noose adjusted, when the pris- oner’s voice was heard in fervent prayer to God to be mercifaul to him, to help him and take him to Himself, and when he uttered the word ‘ amen” (about 15 minutes to 12y'the fatal spripg was toucned, thetrap fell wittva heavy “thu; and the body was left dangting in the air. The fall was about 5 feet 10 inches, and his neck wes instantly broken, nevertheless he struggled to some extent, his legs vibrating fer several minutes as also his shoulders. After hanving fifteen minutes, the bi wias lowered and examined by Dr. C: M. Ford, of the Prison, and Dr. Geo. McCoy, of the Sil- diers’ Rest, who pronounced life extinct, a nd he was cut down and carried to the dispensa ry, where tae body was more minutely examis ed. The body will be interred by the military au- thorities, Lesides the mililary present, there were but few others in the enclosure, among tbe m a numter of colored prisoners and some’ f the colored employees. A number of the Co ifed- erate prisoners confined here, whose wie dows overlooked the gallows, had a good view, which they duly improved. -____$~»— THE DeartEp Mgn.—The following@ rafted men reported tothe Board of Pnroi! ent to- day: First Sub-District.—Z.
