This statement has been made by so many of the rebel deserters who have re- cently come in that there seems to be no doubt of its truth. One of those just arrived says he was in Peters- burg on Monday, and knows it to be a fact. Most of the citizens, both of Petersburg and Richmond, are also pre- FIRING THE SOUTHERN HEART, Brigadier General Cook, commanding a brigade in Heth's division, made a speech yesterday morning. He told his men that one column of Sherman's army had been defeated by General Cheatham, and that his whole army would soon be overwhelmed and compelled to re- treat. His men, I judge, did not place much reliance on his statement, a8 several of them deserted a few hours afterwards. CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN NORTH CAROLINA. Thave seen several letters received by deserters from their friends in the State of North Carolina The conntry is infested with the lowest class of guerillas and bush- whackers. They rob and ill treat both friend and foe. No farmer is secure from their depredations and brutal. ity. This state of faire has disgusted everybody, and if it has not aroused what may truthfully be termed a strong Union feeling, it has certainly given birth to an ‘“‘anti- war yee in thetr letters to the army, advise their relatives and friends to desert as one of the surest methods of ending the war. The men who are infesting and troubling the North Carolinians are deserters from Lee's army, who either dare not go home or have not any homes to go to, WILL VIRGINIANS LEAVE THRIR AAORED BOIL? ‘This is a question which will now, in all probability, be speedily brought to atest. We have Intely been assured deserters that all the Virginians in General Lee's army will desert and start for home whenever their native State is abandoned. It must be remembered that they are the flower of the rebel army, and their defection would be a serious blow to the rebel cause. Our officers, however, do not place any reliance on the report of their intention to desert whenever Lee is compelled to leave the State. Habits of obedience formed during tho last four years, and the stern discipline to which they have been subjected, cannot be forgotten and broken t! h ina moment, Another strong argument to prove that they will adhere to the last to the rebel cause is the fast that Virginia has suffered porhaps more than any other State in the so-called Southern confederacy, and it would be impossible for many of these men to find their homes. They are no longer in existence. Mr. Theodore C. Wilson's Despatch. Brvors Parenssvra, March 1, 1965. ANEW TORK SOLDIER DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED BY A COMRADE. This morning private John M.

[Feom the Richmond Sentinel, Mareh 1.) The news from tho South looks favorable, and we hope soon to gratify the public with pleasant intelligence from that quarter. Sherman Stuck in the Mud. {From the Richmond Dispatch, March 1,] We are still without official intelligence of movements now taking place in the Carolinas, and, for reasons hitherto stated, do not care to repeat all the reports that reach us. We heard yesterday that Sherman was stuck in the mud in one of the Southern States. If it has rained half as much there as in this vicinity, there can be no doubt of the truth of the statement. There have been many widely different estimates of the strength of Sherman's army. By some his forces have been esti- mated as high as sixty thousand. We learned on yes- terday, through a trustworthy source, that General Hamp- ton reported his force to consist of four corps of infantry of seven thousand men each, and a body of cavalry of from four to five thousand men. His artillery will, perhaps, swell the numbers of his main column to thirty five thousand. If we give Gillmore at Charleston tem thousand, and Schofield at Wilmington fifteen thousand, we shall estimate the whole Yankee force now operating in the Carolinas at sixty thousand men. This, we think, fs not far from the mark, The Yankee papers maké the figures much larger, and give Sherman an immense cay- alry force.

[From the Richmond Sentinel, March 1.} ¥¢ Is usual for those who set about the conquest of » country to act upon the miser’s rule, ‘Get all you can, and keop all you get."’ Hence they endeavor to secure thelr acquisitions as they go, and to make each the beste of the next, Sherman acts upon a different rule. He is simply o great raider. He is conducting « novel military expert ment, and is tegting the problem whether or not a great country can be conquered by raids. Results, #0 far, have gained him some reputation for success in making his transits, and consequently exhibit the theory ori which he is operating under its most fayo- rable conditions. He has raided entirely across the States of Mississippi, of Georgia and of South Caro- lina in his successive enterprises. What per- manent result has he accomplished? In Mis sissippi bis enterprise is forgotten, and not one of bis acquisitions remains. In Georgia, save the garrison in Savannah and the destruction along his track, there are no trophies of his triumph. The result infouth Carolina will be similar, His course is simply that of a bird through the air. It may be said that these raids are destructive te our resources, and weaken, if they do not subdue us, and thus conduce to the desired result. But it is to be coh- sidered in answer to this that such damages are very barrow in their scope and quickly repaired. No se- flous permanent Injury has anywhere been inflicted by raids. It may be further remarked that if raids could succeed in the satanic work of extensively devastating our country the very blow thus struck at us would create an impediment to the enemy also, Thenceforth the wlotte, NM. ©, enemy could only travel with vast trains of #up- plies, which would be to him a element of / nr Suppose, indeed, that Sherman has made of Georgia a comparativ rt—then has made it im- possible ever to cross Groryia again. Thus the very barbarities of raids, if conducted on the poley of destruction, will render the reg ons they ma: Visit inaccessible to their future enterprises, The di culty of subsisting our own army will be increased, but it will not be insuperable. Supplies may be gathered for a friendly purpose and by diligent gleaning, where a hoe- tile army, moving rapidly and compelled to keep to. gether, would quickly stary History tells ue that Seytl id Arabia, though lying beside the path of the world's most ambitious conquer ors, were never conquered, though sometimes attempted. Jt was because invaders could not find th: means of sub: sistence. If raids should reduce us to a like condition they would at least bring us a like immunity, We are sure, therefore, that false policy, and that his enterprises, fuccessful a8 they fnay seem, are barren sults, And full of peril, as they ar doubt that, sooner or la he apparently seeks.
