FROM RICHMOND. ‘We iearn from an intelligent young Mary- lander, who left Richmond on Wednesday evening last, at 7 o’clock, in company with six deserters from the 7th regiment Confederate reserves, on local defence duty in that city, that the greatest consternation exists there over Sherman movements in South Car- olina, and that it is freely admitted upon the streets there that Sherman can go wherever he choses. 5 Our informant says that there is a belief in Richmond that the city will be evacuated, and also all the coast cities of the Confederacy, in afew weeks. The machinery of some of the large founderies in Richmond has been sent further South, and medical stores are being removed: but as this work is generally done after night, the citizens of Richmond have no opportunity to discover where they are being transferred to, or the extent of the movement. All the rolling stock of the Petersburg rail- road has been transferred to the Danville rail- pond and run off tosome point in North Caro- lina. Nearly every male inhabitant is compelled to do military duty, and parties in business, as soon as they take out license, are considered as belonging to the local defense organization, and are compelled to do duty when called upon. TTnere is much suffering.in Richmond among the poorer classes, they being unable to pay the exorbitant prices asked for the necessar: articles of life. Flour brings $ per barrel, and sugar is worth #20 r pouf@, Confeder- ate money.

A sudden freshet is dreaded, and not witbont reason, for such a freshet, bringing down the ice, would be very dangerous to the lower sections, and might so damage the canal as to delay naviga tion for a considerable length of time It is ordered by the Canal Commissioners that the water shall be drawn off at this terminus on the 22d instant, and the werkmen wil! proceed At once to repair damages, which will probably require ien days to complete the work.
