VOL. XII.) DAILY TIMES. EVENING EDITION. MONDAY EVENING, MARCH '47, 1865. Co-OrituA'fioN.—The intelligence brought from below this morning, say* the Montcom ery Appeal ol the 25th, leaves us no longer ia doubt as to the movements of the enemy, though wo do not think there is nay great or immediate cause of alarm on the part of our citizens. Wo are in possession • '’intelligence respecting military movements below here which will probably check the foe in his pro gress and which will effectually prevent him from taking possession of this oi.y, provided the military authorities shall meet with the prompt co-operation of our citizens. Gov. Watts will arm every .o who is wiK mg to step forward and mm t. c fortification* in detense ol his property and home, There are albo hundreds of refugees from other States who go into the tionches with them, but who v* be loth tv stej forward while those most vitally interested stand trembling in the back ground. If the citizens will but do their duty, Gen. Forrest will attend to the enemy outside, and dec that he never takes possession of cither Montgomery or Selma Raid in Sumter.— We are informed, says the Sumter Republican, 25th, that on Monday last a. party of women, living near this place, aided by a paroled soldier, attacked the cribs of some of tbeir neighbors, and, after a con "id(rr.ibi« engagement withdrew, bringing off the sjKjils. These women are soldiers’ wive* and represent themselves as being without the necessary articles of life, and are compelled to get food for their ohildren and themselves, in this way, or starve. The was composed of bat few, and we suppose did not carry off but little. ■ ♦ ♦ The Richmond Sentinel of the 7th says ttie exchange of prisoners has been going on rap idly during the past few days. Up to Wed nesday la3t, some eight thousand Yankee prisoners passed through Goldsboro’ en route for Wilmington. There are daily arrivals in Richmond of Confederate prisoners by way of the James. A-large number arrived Sunday night, aud there was another arrival last evening. Ike Deinopoiis llerald endorses the nomination oftho uamo of Hon. John Forsyth as a candidate for governor of Alabama. + mm* Tile Local Situation. The city is filled with a thousand rumors this morning, concerning the movements of the enemy from below, and the sudden and unlooked for orders from the governor of the Sinto and the commandant of the post, have caused considerable excitement, and have no doubt contributed greatly to exaggerate the real facts as to the movemeuts of the foe. ft is extremely difficult to get at the truth, in the midst of so many reports, but after investiga tion, we believe the facts, as far rs known to the authorities (his morning, warrant us in saying that the enemy has moved out sdtae distance into Southwestern Alabama, and par tially developed bis purposes. The dispatch from Mobile informs us that the enemy was moving from Pensacola toward Pollard, on Thursday, and that his advance wae being opposed by our forces under Gen. Cla don. The force of the enemy, if known, is not stated. From the line of railroad between this city we have more exciting intelligence. A col umn of cavalry reached the road Oetwoen Evoigreen and ' Uravella, early yesterday morning, where a train was captured aud burned on the track. During the forenoon the passenger train which left this city Thurs day evening, which had remained at Greens ville overnight, aa usual, was tired into near the destroyed train, while in motion. The engineer at once endeavored to iuo through, but his effort was frustrated and the train stopped by the wreck on tho ro.nl. Some per sons on the train were injured, but we have been quable to obtain any names Conductor Wynn endeavored to escape, but was shot down. Tho express messengor was captured. After robbing the passengers, the roll»t? stock was destroyed, aud tho toice left tho scene, announcing tbeir destination to be Greenville, distant about forty miles on ‘he route .J this city. The belt judges estimated this force at from til teen to eighteen huudrod. A email artillery force accompanied the expedition. Mr. Wynu was left by the Yauttees in what they supposed a dying condition. He was subsequently brought to Greenville on a hand oar, by one ot the overseers of the road, aud has reached this city or the passenger train that left bore yesterday after> noon, ami which returned last > ight. We under stand his wound is not considered a mortal ono. With the knowledge we have, we think the col umn on the railroad is only a raiding party, pur posing only to cut the railroad communication between this city and Mobile, in order to prevent reinforcements being sent to General Clauton or Mobile. It is probably the force reported as being at Andalusia, Covington county, on Wednesday, and they will not probably undertake to advauce on Montgomery or Selma, at present, unless they are much stronger than reported. We do not mi agine, therefore, that there need be any occasion for great alarm, at present, although it will be wise to £ore completely organize our streugth to de fend the city, and we are glad to observe that the authorities have at last become aroused to the danger vrich threaten. There has been inexcusa ble delay for some time, but we hope energy will now make up for previous tardiness oi action.— Appeal, 25 thi [From the London Shipping Gazette, Feb. I-'-] Union Soldiers erom Switzerland.—Fed eral recruiting agents have been busy m Switz erland. That disgraceful system of crimp ing,” which has been so extensively practiced on the Queen’s subjects in Great Britain and Ireland, is carried on in much the same man ner among the Swiss. “Emigration agents hold out to men of tbfT poorer classes brilliant promises of work and pay. aQ d the uu 01 nate dupes emigrate, not to work, but to be come “food for powder.” Many ot them also, not less deluded by the light in which the American contest is represented to them, go out for the purpose of taking pari in the glo rious’ war for ‘liberty.’ ftis aaid ♦’ t certain persons undertook to orgtt “a “a; itarj emigraUon ' ia B«rU»r land, and offers were made tO , Mr ; It enlist ten thousand Swiss folunte r • creditable to the Amer' -son M *“ lßt ** * curtly and decidedly rejected this P ro P° ' Nevertheless, volunteering for the Jsortnem States, either as workmen or soldiers, £° es on to a great extent in Switzerland ; and, iu ol der to put some check upon it. the Swis* g'JJ, «rnmeat f in a Bemi-offioial paper h«s called upon the citizens of the republic lo deJhi from Ti*itiDg America while the wd ‘ ’ but, above all, to abstain trora taking m.litary service there. * Himes. Thu Yanekb3 at Camds*.—We learn, savs the bouth Carolinian, tnat the enemy, while* m Camden, burned ait the buildings from Rain's Drug Store to the Branch B mk, and on the o 1 her side of the Main street from Druker’a corner to the new brick hotel. They aNo destroyed Zemp’s Mill, the Cornwallis House, the a tor*- of Mr. Geo. Dougiaes, and ! '.he house of Mrs. Long; but generally treated j the* inh ibiuots with civility. As in" Col urn- I bra, the Yankees were intoxicated, and under j its influence, did many acts, from the iufl ic = 1 tion or which, citizens suffered who might 1 have otherwise escaped. The strength of the j column which visited the town, was about' 4.500, and, approaching as they did, from an j unexpected direction, many persons were I caught to the art of getting away. Among tb «»e Messrs. Tbos. Puryer aud Cartey. j woo had with them valuable racing stock, in ciuaing “ Censor ” and “ Albion, ” and others. All were, qf course, captured. Below Cam den,‘he enemy did not trouble the inhabit ants; neither of Messrs. Boykin's and John DeSaussure’s places being visited. General Chesnut lost horses, mules and provisions, but the dwellings on his plant e were saved by one ol his negroes. Hi- <t the Yankees that “Mossa come dar abiuc once in two year, and dey alters give him aomein'ing to eat, but dat was all; and if dt*y burn de d-y jis turn poor nigger out in de cole. Un der the influence of this Ethiopian philosophy, much old and valuable property was spared. One of the ladies acted with great courage. The Federate entered her house and demanded her silver. She told them it was whore they could not get it. They threatened to burn the house. Her reply was, “ Burn—but you won t find what you are looking for.” One of the Yankees then set the bed on fire, but the lady still remaining firm, they extinguish ed the flames and left the premises. Our in formant, on his way from Columbia, met large numbers of negroes who had gone with the enemy ; but were returning in dis gust—the invariable comment of the simple hearted darkies being “ Well, boss, did you eber see such a people ? ” Ail looked as if they had seen uara tides. Among the horses captured on Gen. Ohes nut’s place, we forgot to mention the superb stallion presented to President Daris by the Viceroy of Egypt. One of the Yankees, after riding the animal through the streets, took off the saddle, and patting him ou the back, re marked, “ You’re too fine to ride in these parts, and wq’ll send you to Old Abe. ” ♦ m m- Lincoln’! inaugural We are at last in possession of*.* correct copy of Lincoln’s late inaugural. Here it is: Fellow-Countrymen: At this second appear ance to take the oath of the Presidential offi ce, there is less occasion for an extended ad dress than there was at the first. Then a statement, somewhat in detail, $f a course to he pursued, seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth in eveuy point and phase of the greafoconiea l which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the euergiee of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of onr arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is ae well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasona bly satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no predic tion in regaid to it is ventuicd. On the occa sion corresponding to this four years ago, all thoughts wet - anxiously directed to an im pending civil war. All dreaded it—all B uu*lii, to avoid it While the iuauguril address was being delivered from this place, devoted alto gether to saving the Union without war, in surgent agents were in the city seeking to de stroy it without war—seeking to dissolve the Union and divide the effects by negotiations. Both paitiea deprecated war. But one of them would make war rather than let the na - tion survive, and the other .votrid accept war rather than let it perish , &ad the war came. One eighth of the whole population were col ored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern pan of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and pow erful interest. All know th A this interest was somehow the cause of the war.. To strengthen, perpetuate and extend this inter est was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union—even by war; while the Govern ment claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected by the war the magnitude or duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of tho war itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fun daiuental and astounding. Both read tho same Bible and pray to tho /ame God, and each invokes his aid against tho other. It may seem strange that auy man should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wrtuging their bread from the sweat of other men's taa»a, but let us hot judge that tto bo not judged. The prayer of both could uot be answered—that of neither has boen answered fully. The Almighty has his own purposes. “Woe unto tho world because of offences, for it must needs be that offences como ; but woe to that man by whom the offence coineth.” If we should suppose that American slavery is one of those offonoei which, iu the Piovideaee of God must needs come, but which having contin ued through ilis appointed time He now wills to remove, and that lie give to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern thereiu any de parture from ihoso Divine attributes which the believer in a living God always ascribes to him? Fondiydo we hope—fervently do we pray that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away; yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the boudsman’s two hundred | years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and every drop ofbiood drawn with tne lash shall bd paid by another drawn with the sword, , as was said three hundred years ago, so still it mast be said, “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether,” with malice towards none; with char ; ity for all; with firmness in tue right, as Goa rives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish ! the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wound?, to care for him who shall have come to the battlo, and for his widow and orphan ; to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. General Grant, in a letter to an old school-fellow at Quincy, dated City Point, loth ult., made use of the following language, in which the analytical reader will discover a modified tone in striking con trast with the memorable "fight-it-out, on-this-line etbanation from the same source ten months ago: “Everything look to me to be very favorable foi a speedy termination of the war. sh% people of the South are ready for it if they can get clear of their leaders. It is hard to predict what will become of thedi, the lenders, whether they will flee the coun try or whether the people will forcibly depose them and take the matter in their own hands. One or the other will likely occur if our spring campaign las successful as l have every hops it will bo.

General Orders No, 2, Headquarters Ar mies of the Contedcrate States, having been this day promulgated to this army, it ia here by announced that in accordance with its provisions, all enlisted men of tbi3 army who are improperly absont from their commands, except those guilty of desertion to, or arres* ted in the act of deserting to the enemy, or who have deserted after having been ouce pardoned for the same offence, or who shall hereafter desert or absent themsclvea without authority, who shall within twenty days from this date voluntarily join their commands or deliver themselves to any regularly appoin ed enrolling officer, provost marshal or other officer on duty, to be forwarded to their com mands, shall be entitled to and receive the benefit of the pardon promised by the General in Chief on tfie authority of the President of the Confederate States ia the order above quoted. 11.

F7.os< the Augusta correspondence of the Macon Confederacy we make the following extract: *■**■* I have before tue Harpers' and Frank Leslie's Weeklies of the 11th inat. * * The leading article iu Harpers’ Weekly is splendidly written. Subject, Our duty to the Rebels’’—and is a concise dissertation on the influence of civil war. The article says it is a general mistake, one that Mr. Everett, too, was silly enough to pronounce in a late ora tion, that the -wounds inflicted by civil war heal quickly. They do not heal quickly : hence it advises the United States to be as gentie and humane iu its treatment of rebels as firmness of purp- se and security of settle ment will allow The;e has been no vindict ive feeling evinced on the part of the loyal nation since the war began. Magnanimity is neither forgetfulness nor weakness, and firm ness is not revenge. The insurractiott was long prepared by criminal leaders who, for more than a generation, aimed at the debaucu ery of the national conscience, appealing to all that is basest in human nature to secure their object of disruption. They made the United States hated as a bully at home and slave drivers abroad, creating that public sen timent in Europe that hailed our probable de struction with delight. • These crimes of the rebel leaders can never be safely forgotten. These leaders are to be remembered, not for the blood of the war, not for the blood of the war. not for the young and noble they have sacrificed, not for the broken hearts and wasted homes and desolate tend, not for treason, but for that conduct and purpose that made the war inevitable. Jefferson Davis, if he falls into the hands of the nation, must not be hung for treason; but by solemn act of Congress he should be disfranchised as an American citizen, and then delivered to the remembrance of the country he sought to debase and destroy. Time and constant intercourse, tend gentle ness, will wear away the feeling engendered between the people of the sections. AUCTION SALES. By Ellis, Livingston & Cos.
