LATE FROM THE SOUTH, casei Natomas The Richmond Whig, of the 2d, contains 3 telegraphic despatch from Fayetteville, North Carolina, stating that no Federal forces have advanced in that direction from Wilmington, The Whig adds that it omits from that de- spatch news of Sherman’s movements, by of- ficial request. The Daily Dispatch of yesterday says a Unicn cavalry force is moving down the Val- ley towards Staunton. Oongreseman William C. Rives, of Virginia, has resigned his seat. The Examiner very pointedly berates Gen- eral Johnston, and intimates that the armies of Sherman and Schofield haye made a junction at or near Goldsboro’. ; The Richmond papers also say that the Union troops north of the James haye been moved to the left, and massed with the rest of thearmy in the vicinity of Hatcher’s Rua They aleo express fears that Hood as well as Hardee has been cut off from a junction with Johnston. ‘We received yesterday morning a copy of the Richmond Sentimel of Wednesday last, which contains but little news of general interest. The follewing is the only references it has to the operations of General Sherman: “The rews from the South looks favorable, and we hope soon to gratify the public with pleaeant intelligence from that quarter.” In regard to affairs in front of Richmond and Petersburg, the following is the only reference we find: The heavy rains and consequent muddy condition of the roads in the vicinity of Peters- burg prevent active operations for the present There was some sheiling on the lines Monday, bat not as much as usual. A large number of Yankee deserters came in at different points, claiming the privileges granted them under General Order No. 65. East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. Our attentive and reliable correspondent at Wvtheville writes, February 22d. «The enemy are about Greenville, fifty milessouth of Bristol, in small force. It is not known whether their late advance was in- tended tocover a raid into Western North Carolina or‘not. The enemy again occupy Eastern Kentucky, picketing Pound Gap. Action of the Virginia Senate on the Ne- gro Enlistment Question, [From the Richmond Enquirer.) The Senate of Virginia havingremoved the injanction of secresy from some of their pro- ceedings, we are enable to give the following Teport of the action taken by that body on Sat- urday, February 25, on the bill toraisea vol- unteer force of slave and free negroes. The following is a copy of the bill as it was assed by the Senate and sent to the House of legates : 2 Re it enacted by the General Assembly, that the Governor of the Common wealth be, and he is hereby authorized and empowered to call for volunteers from among the slaves and free ne- groes of the State to aid in defense of the capi- taland such other points as are or may be threatened by the public enemy. . 2. That it shall be the duty of the Governor to cause allsiayes who may volunteer with the consent of their masters, and all free ne- groes who shall tender their services to be organized into infantry companies of not less than sixty-four rank and file, under white officers to be appointed by himself, and snall place the same as fast asso organized, at the disposal of the General-in-Chief of the Con- federate armies; or he may order all such vol- unteers to report immediately to the General- in-Chief, to be organized and officered by him, if thereby time can be saved and the interest of the service promoted. i 3. Alllaw and parts of law now in force prohibiting the carrying of arms by slaves or free negroes, are hereby suspended darihg their term of service in favor of such volun- teers as may be called tothe field under this ac 4. The force raised and organized under this act shall be enlisted for one year from the date of g soustered into the rkarvica of tho O72 @hia oot shall be in force from its pas- sage. os Report of the Secretary ef War. ~ Secretary Stanton sent in, yesterday, his report, dated the first of March, stating tha it had been delayed until General Gran should sendin his report of military opera tions. But this has not been received. as the activity of the compaign in progress demands his unceasing attention. The military events of the past year, the Secretary says, have been officially published as they transpired, and are as tully known in every branch of this Government as through out the civilized world. They constitute a series of success{ul marches, seiges, and bat- tles, attesting the endurance and courage of the soldiers of the United States, and the gal- lantry of their commanders. This report givesa summary of theopera tions and estimates of the heads of the several bureaus of the War Department, in which, among other things, it is stated that despite the superior advantages for recruiting volunteers, greater success has been reached in recruiting men in the regular service than has been anti- cipated. «The result of the volunteer and recruiting seryice under the different calls for troops, dated February 1, March 14, and July 19, 1394, are given. In reference tothe re-enlistment of veteran volunteers during the autumn of 1963, the Provost Marshal General says over one hundred and thirty-six who would otherwise ere this haye been discharged were secured for three years longer. Organizations which ‘would have been lost to the service were pre- served and recruited, and capable and expe- rienced officers were retainedin command. The business of arresting deserters and strag- glers is progressing actively. 30,302have been arrested between October 1, 1963, and October 1, 1864. The total number arrested from the establishment of the burean to October 1, 1364, is 67,760. The Veteran Reserve Corps on Oc- tober 1,184, numbered 761 officers and 23,738 men. The general exchange of prisoners effected under the instructions of this department, under Lieutenant Generel Grant, is in course ofexecution, and it is hoped that all et our prisoners in the hands of the rebels wili soon be returned. The furlough of thirty days is extended to them as they reach Annapolis. From Tuesday’s New York Commercial: Gold continues comparatively steady. The dealers have large amounts on hand, bought at prices above the presentrange. They are reluctant to sell at present figures, and yet can neither lend it or borrow greenbacka upon it; they are therefore fighting against time, hoping for soms turn in public affairs that will give them a chance of selling out at better prices. Shoald news arrive of important successes, their hope would be broken, they would be compelled to sell, and the result of throwing such a large amount upon the market would be to largely accelerate its declide, and pro- duce a seyerer fluctuation than has occurred in_connection with the recent news. The Evening Post says: The loan market is working irregularly. Considerable activity is reported in certain quarters, but there is less pressure than yes- terday. Seven per cent. is the currens rate, with very few transactions at lower rates. Commercial paper is in limited supply, and thedemand is small, Sa9 being the prevailing rate for first class names The stock market is somewhat more active, but the general suspense and the anticipation of stirring news from the theatre of war have a tendency to repress speculative operations, oo curtail the ordinary business of the joard. Governments are steady, the ten-forties be- ing in active demand at \ vance. The spec. ulatiye list also shows some improvement. For the seven-thirties the subscriptions to-day are reported to be larger than yesterday. w7-Mr. Richard Frothingham, for thirteen years an editor ofthe Boston Post, has dis. solved his connection with that paper. we tnere are five teet ofsnowintae Maine woods. 7A mad bulloe® tately got upon the rail- ‘way at Malton, Eng., and all ay. long the trains were gt at aslow speed until the beas’, ive provided for the secured. = de ae a7 Lard is being adulterated with water and starch. e iG- Amsnin Taunton, Mass., got shaved the other day for the first time in four years.
