The evacyation took place on Fri- day night. and the city was occapied by about five hondred Yankees, who landed inemai? boats about 12 o'clock on Saturday. “All the cotton (some 6,000 bales), and the shipping was destroyed, and the gute epiked by the military authorities. The city ts now bot little more than a heap of ruins. hen the Yankees entered nearly half of it was in ashes, and a terrible fire wae still raging. The ft originated in two ways. aged powder had been left at the depot of th: Northeast railroad company, among & number of olber articles. A crowd of negroes and citizens Of the lower class had assembled for the purpore of pillage. While there, a boy, in eport, fired a small quantity of loose powder, which, communicating with tha’ the boxes ‘gnied the whole, causing a terrible explosion, with considerable loss of life. The immense depot building was blown to atoms, and the fire spread rapicly to the adjoining houses. It burned with great rapidity, and extended as farupon King street as the soldiers’ home. About (he same lime a fire broke out in another portion ofthe city, caused by the burning of the Savannah bridge. This tire was also very destructive. and the two combined extended trom river toriver. Numerous other fires also occurred in diferent parts of the city, said to have been the work of the citizens themselves, “All this ocenrred before the occupation of the city by the Yankees, “Our forces, under General Hardee, have gone in the right direction It is not permisni- ble to state where they are, but they will be found where they sre most needed.” From North Carolina. “The Raleigh Coneervattve alindes to Sher- T™ 8n’s operations, and indulges the hope that, ifour plans are not thwarted, ear able gene- tals and brave troops in that quarter will be able to bag him. or send him howling to the Tear. “If the report brought us by telegraph, that the small force left by him at Columbia hag been expelled, be true, then the repaise in front, should he suffer each, would probabig Tender his affairs desperare in the extreme, Bot we will not speculate turther in regard ¢ matters which must cease to be matters for mere speculation eoon,”” Re Raleign Progress of the 26th of Tebroary says: “The Yankee prisoners have all been sent from the camps near this place to Northeast Bridge, for the purpose of being exchanged. ‘Many otbers from f#reensboro and Salis. bury have passed through here for the same destination. “All Federal prisoners fn North Oasrolina fre to be exchanged, we learn, at Northeast Bridge, a few miles from Wilmington.

Owing to certain groundless reports, which have gained circulation in Richmond for the past few days, a large number of country peo- ple have been deterred from bringing their pro- duets to market, and, as a consequence, but lit- tle is offered at those places forsale. That furs ther injury may not ensue from these romors, we hereby contradict them upon the very bigh- est official authority, The Probable Yankee Attempt te Cut O14 the Retreat of Lee—Predicted Failure— Early and Mnd tho opposing forces. {From Richmond Examiner, March 2.} The latest Northern papers, Srataitously as. suming that Lee must retreat from before Richmond, and that his march must be by way of Lynchburg, and in the direction of Ken lucky or East Tennessee, anneunce with con- fidence that measures have been taken for the destruction of the Virginia and Tennessee railway. As they have but asmall ayailabio force beyond the western terminue of thas work, and as the common roads in that qguar- ter of the world are impracticable at the pres ent time from the unprecedented frosts, rains, and thaws ofthis winter, tt is reasonable to assume that the intended movement upon the railroad must be from the east. From Win- chester to Staunton this force would Dave the advantage of an excetlent macadamized turns” Pike road. General Early is, nowever, en-~ camped somewhere on its line of march in puch sore as might effec 5 pe jon. Ifits n BES, SPAS ~ Tne PRSBID: however, n= tw # mmneS edad term toe, ahv‘rdtTékds begin, and it 1s quite probabie that pontoon bridges would be needed for oiher uses than the passage of rivers and mountain torrents. The peculiarity of the roads in mountainous regions is, that they traverse the valleys and lowest depressions of country, and cannot, of course, hang upon the ridges. During the winter aud wet seasoms there is a contmuons ocze of water from the foo. of hills and moun- tains, which keeps the roads always deep with mud andmire. This is the state of things upon which the enemy embark on passing Staunton. And asthe distance from there to Buchanan, where another macadamized road begs, is sixty miles, ttis a problem for calcu. lationhow Jong it would require for a large cavalry force dragging artillery and pontoon bridges along with it, to accomplisha march of sixty miles, over roads deep with mire, ata season of the year when they areatthe very worst. A further element ofthe proposition would be how long the journey would occupy with a determined enemy in front. who, if fail- ing te check the advance, would at least delay it, and by passing Over the road in adyance, put it in the very worst possible condition fer the force pressing on behind. From uchanan the railroad might be Teached Over baa roads in aday’s march, or the enemy might pursue the macadamized road to Salem, distant some forty miles, bat {it ia | plain that the period necessary to accomplish the march would be sufficient time to intercept. and thwart the whole project. If, however, the enemy should notstrike for Buchanan on leaving Staunton,but make directly for Lynch burg, distant about seventy miles, he would still be so much delayed by the condition of the roads thatan ample force conld be interposed for the protection of that city. Thesame dimfi- ealty would also obstruct himif he were to turn offat right angles at Staunton, and cross the Bine Ridge in the direction of Charlottes- ville, Gordonsville, and Richmond. Looking, at all the circumstances of the case, we think it quite probable that the enemy would find the expedition would bo premature, and likely to end In failure if not in grief. The absurdity of endea voring thus to intercept General Lee’s retreat at this early day is 2musing. General Sheridan’s Advance. The Richmond Dispatch of Wendesday says: “The enemy (Sheridan’s command) on yee- terday were approaching Stannton in heavy force from the Valley—chbiefiy artillery. “Owing to the fact there has lately been @& large force of Federal cavairy idle in the Shen- andosh Valley, we have been expacting to hear of & move from that direction. When Lee transferred Early's (now Gordon's) command from the vicinity of Fisher’s Hill to Bie right wing below the James, the small force lefs was withdrawn far up the Valley to New Market. «The last reconnosisance made by our troops found them encamped there. Whem, however, the Sixtn Corps ( Wright’s and two divisions of the Nineteenth, Grover’s) were withdrawn from the Shenandoah and sert to Savanaash and the James river, the remaining division of the Nineteenth Corps remainedat Winchester, together with two strong divisions of cavairy, which did such effective service in winning the battles of the Opequan, Winchester and Fisher’s Hill. “The Eighth Corps (Creok’s—since eaptarea) also remained. being scattered in detaghments along the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, from Harper’s Ferry to Cumberland. “This strong body of cavalry, being at Nber- ty, have started up the Valley, ana were evi- dently on Tuesday in close proximity to Siannton.
