The long mystery respecting the destination of General Sherman's army {# partially diesipated A Gispatch published in the Richmond Wao of Wed- Besday last states that a lerge portion of his forces bad arrived at Selma, Alabama, Should this news te correct, it disposes of the reports to the effect that be had gone to Charleston, Wilmington, or Bavennah. It indicates that his destination {s Mo- ile, Selma te situate on the right bank of the Ala- Dama river, {s distant one hundre! and thirty Biles from Mobile, due North. The distance from Atlanta to Selma is two bundred miles tn o south westerly direction. From Selma to Montgomery @e distance is only sixty miles. This view of the destination of Genera! Sherman is confirmed by the following dispatch dated November 11, from a Nash- ville correspondent: The only point atall in doubt ia put in the question pow asked by every one here: Where has Sherman one ? There are two answers: ‘Ie first, thathe # marching on Charleston or Savannah ; the sec. end, that he is on bis way to Mentgome: ud Mo- bile. The evidence, such aa it is, seems to make it robable, that he ts bound for the Gulf. It is said hat the recent movement of Hood convinced Bher- of the fact that he could not safely take hm army further Kast without first securing an- otber line of supplies not liable to be torn up by At Cavalry raids, flank movements and guerrillas the present time he bas only one line of suppLes ® single thread of railroad traversing a very t country. The railroad from Nashwile to © pooga, by Decatur and Huntsville, bas been Unsetees for several weeks, and this is not the rat time it has been interferred with by orrest, Rhoddy or Wheeler's cavalry forces. The Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad also is often barassed by guerrillas. Now, if Sberman takes Montsomery and Mobile, be secures—First, n nec: oud base supplies securo from any posal! le in- terference by the rebels, and which the navy, eLiefly, can bold.

Jt is enid, lao, thas when the government Geermined to send Farragut to Wilmington, it ebanged its determination at the earnest request of Gev. Sherman, On the other hand, it is suid that Bhermen will march on Charleston and Ba- vanuab, for the purposo of rescuing the Union risoners there, The Union officers formerly at Charleston have been removed to Florence, and be privates to Columbus, 8.
