VOL. XII.} DAILY TIMES. i EVENING ormj.Y THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1865. | Privatk Dispatch.— Evergreen, March 2T>. Editor Times : —A. &J. Maynor are safe. J. A. WuiTk. The Appeal learns that intelligence had reached Selma yesterday morning, stating that a body of Federal raiders had reached Ciai- ; borne, at the junction of the Tombigbee and j Alabama rivers. This is supposed *6 be the j same force that 3truck the railroad at Ever green. There was also another report prevalent at Selma to the effect that a cavalry force, eight j thousand strong, was coming down from tue ! North by way of Tuscaloosa. Forrest no | doubt will be able to take care of this party, should there be any truth in the report, which wa3 doubted. Facts about the Andalusia Raid.— From a citizen of Covington county, the Montgomery Mail, of the 29th, gats the fallowing reliable infor mation of the Yankee raid, fie was in An i»iusia ob Tuesday afternoon. There he hoard that cer tain suspicious persons and things had been ob served for a few days—men could be seen about the village at night, who were not visible by day. Signs and passwords, etc., were current. The Yankees came into Andalusia about mid night, Wednesday—their advent not generally known till Thursday morning. ' They, left about 10 a. in. that day for Evergreen. He thinks there were not more than 5D<), though others estimated them at 2,000, and some excited people" even thonght that the “right wing of Sherman’s army” bad swung round there, well mounted. Not many desorters and tories were among them.— The deserters down there do not go to the Yankees, unless the conscript officers press them bard. Alf Holley, the recreant legislator, was along, and pointed out a few of his old particular friends (?) for vengeance. He rode up to the door of the venerable Judge Jones and called him out. “Come out, Judge, you have had your day, and now, by G —d, this is my day." The Judge was then mounted, bareback, on a mule, and marched off. They took off also, Wm. F. Bryant, sub-earolling officer, Judge Acree, Judge Snowden, Judge Salter and Loden Jones. One man, Jim Davis, the postmaster took the oath. They burnt the Probate’s books and papers, and the big conscipt boos—that awful book, book of books ! bigger than half.a dozen biblea. They bayonetted and butchered a few beds belonging te the conscript office. The Government had only about fifteen bushels of corn, tax in kind, and no other property of consequence. They lived off the citizens while there, but burnt no houses. This information is from a gentleman well known by 30me of our citizens, and his represent ations may be relied on. Our readers would like to have the truth of the Andalusia raid, though the scene has shifted somewhat from that retired village. Holley’s family still reside in Andalusia, though he has been gone for nearly a year. Evergreen, Conecuh ooauty, is thirty mile3 west of the county site of Covington county. From the North. A correspondent of the New York Tribune wri ting from the army of the James, tells the follow ing : Another deserter from the enomy, in the person of a young lieutenant, an aid on the staff of Lieut. Col. Robert D. Minor, commanding the navy and ordnance departments at Richmond, came into our lines on Sunday morning iast, accompanied by his wile. The young man is a native of Savannah, Geo., and confesses that he left Richmond to avert the ponalty of death, which would no doubt have been awarded him for the offence of runniDg men into our lines, a business which ha had followed for several months, and in which he states that he had been making SIOOO to SSOOO Confederate money weekly. Much of Lis story, which is fail of interest, it would be improper to publish, lest it give the en emy information which would lead to the appre hension of parties engaged in passing ruon into our lines and the closing of iho avenue through which they escap® Being an officer on the staff of Col. Minor, ne operated in conjunction with his confederates for a long time before suspicion rested upon him. The night preceding his arrest he had sent off a smali party to our lines, but by some accident one of them was apprehended and returned to Richmond, and on his arrival there made a confession, impli cating the lieutenant referred to, which ted to his arrest on the Thursday. Having always sustained a reputation for loyalty to the rcbei government, Maj. Carrington, provost marsha. of Richmond, ordered his detention at the Soldiers' Rest for a day or two, in which time it was believed he would be able to establish his innocence of the charge. Knowing his inability to do so, the young lieutenant at once set about means to escape before his incarceration iu Castle Thunder, which was sure to follow, and on the same night endeavored, but in vaiD, to bribe hi3 guard. On Friday night he was more successful, and on escaping from the Rost repaired immedi ateiy to the house of a negro whom he knew to be engaged in the busiuees, and giving him S6OO, despatched him in a carriage with his wife by a circuitous route to our lines. As his wife had a few days previous received a pass to visit her relatives outside of Richmond, she found ao diffi culty in passing the outer defenses. Her husband followed her by a shorter route, reaching our lines seven hours her arrival. In the capaoity of aid he had frequently visited the rebel flotilla in the James, and at the time of the late raid was on board the Virginia, which he represents as by far the mast formidable vessel ot the fleet, being coated with eleven inches of iron plating, and carrying eight guns, oae of which cariies an IS and anotner a 14 inch shot. Restates that the new ram Jeff Davis is nearly finished, and that when he left Richmond she was receiving her armament of fourteen heavy guns. Although she is the largest of the rebel ranis, he regards the Virginia as the most effective vessel in the rebel navy, owing to tho calibre of her guns and the thickness of her plating. The pira r o Seminas, now commanding the \ irgißia, is spoxen ot as the commander of the Jeff Davis when ready for service. ffjj is firm in the belief that the ranis will visit as again at am early day, and thinks the Virginia capable of demolishing any vessel of our navy, the Ironsides included. Ail the naval machinery in Richmond has been sen: to Selma and other points south, and he thinks the evacuation of Rthh mend within sixty days highly probable. He proceeds North with his wife this morning. The Negroes Faso our Soldiers.—A corres pondent writes the Lynchburg Virginian from Lew iaburg, Virginia: “It is right that you should know what occurred in this little town night before last. The negroes, actuated by motives which would have put to tho blush tho would-be philan thropibts of tho Yankees, gave a magnificent feast to tho soldiers who happened to be sojourning uere. Tho feast was gotten up exclusively by negroes, and at their own suggestion." ®Jw. Cuhumms limes., — • • Plan of Grant and Shcrmaa for Destroying Lee’s Army, "I he U nited States Army and Navy Gazette j has a long article upon tin probability of the 1 destruction of General Lee’s army fcy the forces of Grant and Sherman. We copy some i paragraphs : Tne tuut.-ndiog forces upon the field of op erations on ihe plains east of the Aiieghan es are the arm, of Lee, with the scattered com- i mands of Bragg and Hope, lately at Wilming- j ton, Hardee rona Charleston. Beauregard in ! front of Sherman, Hood striving to get into the. Eastern zone, an-d Hill cut off’ at Augusta ; J a loa our aide, Grant facingLeeat Richmond, Scnorieid in North Carolina, left by the evac- j nation of Wilmington free to march twenty! thousand men to Sherman’s reinforcement, or j to jom Grant by water with all but the small I force necessary for garrisoning Wilmington : ! finally, Sherman's victorious columns are pres sing their relentless way direct to victory. The destruction of the armed force of the : Confederacy being now the great specific ob ject of the combinations of our generals, it ! necessarily involves the forcing of a central position from which escape, in case of defeat. ! is impossible. The direction ot Sherman's march promises to secure this specific object. At the same time, it is, of course, desirable for him to cut off from the enemyis main force as many as possible of the small detach ments wii'-ca he ua* left in garrison at differ ent points Hia advance upon Branchville cut off Hill and Hood. His movement upon Kingsville, before threateningCoiumbia. forced ) Hardee and Beauregard upoa diverging lines of retreat; and. if our cavalry*were fortunate enough to strike Florence, or Schofield to seize Wilmington before Hardee’s arrival at these places, the latter general will be thrown entirely out of she immediate sphere of oper ations. These masterly combinations are in estimably efficient in preventing accession to Lee’s forces. The limited resources of the South, and the combination of its military forces under Lee as General in Chief-—a charge of organization which must of necessity lead to a union of the outlying forces of the Confederacy in the execution of someone well conceived scheme —compel Lee to the same concentration which our combinations are forcing upon him. It is, of course, impossible for us to entirely surround Lee with armies, each equal to his own force; and armies of less strength might, by an active and skillful opponent, be attacked and destroyed in detail. Hence, our concen tration against Lee can consist of only two armies, that of Grant and that of Sherman.— The force of Schofield wi Li necessarily join one or the other of these as soon as relieved from their immediate duty by the fali of Wil mington. Which army Schofield will join will depend upoa the relative force of our main columns, counting, of course, Grant’s intrenchments and defensive attitude as so much force on his side. We incline to believe that he will join Sherman who is most ex posed to the assaults o? Lee, and t o whom de feat, from its exposed position, would be the more disastrous COLUMBUS, GA 4 FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 31, 1865. Concentrated between our columns, with forces probably equal to the stronger, Lee would occupy much the position of Napoleon in his celebrated campaign of 1814. In that interposing between the columas of the Allies advancing upon Paris, striking powerful blows which bis genius alone could conceive, and execute victory from annost, every encounter —from Ohump-Aubert, Chateau-Thierry and Moatmitaii, to Nauges and Montereau. But he was doomed to fall before the combinations of the en-uny. their superiority in- numbers, the impossibility of obtaining reinforcements to supply the drain of battle, and the wants of that levy of fifty thousand uieu which he had hoped his victories would enable him to rally to a standard dear to France for the victories that it symbolized and the glory that haloed around it. Men for his armies it was no long er in his power to obtain, for France was tired of slaughter, and saw at last the unholiness of the cause she bad fought for, stripped as it was of the false brilliancy it possessed. With such obstacles, the magnificent combinations and the brii.iant genius of Napoleon were useless. Tais war has shown that armies of sixty thousand men. though frequently defeated, cannot be destroyed in a single battle. An tietam, Chancellorsville, Chickamauga, Get tysburg, all illustrate this fact. Tne material ot which our armies on both sides is compos ed, their long experience of war, the great advantages -which the defensive always pos sess. render a decisive victory over either Grant or Sherman, under any circumstances whatever, impossible for Lee. But an inde cisive one would be a defeat. A battle pro longed for many days with cither of these commanders would absolutely incapacitate Lee from confronting the other. How can he replace troops lost in battle ? He has no ter ritory from which to draw troops or arms, ex cept that which has already been exhausted by the most violent combats of this war. He cannot arm nad drill his negroes in time; and time is everything ; for Sherman never naits while anything is to be achieved. Whether. therefore, Lee, recalling Hoke. Beauregard, and, if possible. Hardee, by rail to Richmond, endeavors to overwhelm Grant that be may afterwards fall upon Saerman: or, leaving a small garrison and tne helpless mud to oppose Grant, concentrates cn the bor ders of North Carolina to attack Sherman be fore Schofield joins him: whether, in either of these cases, he meets with a temporary success o: with the defeats which a just con fidence in our soldiers, in Grant's tenacity and Sherman's genius cause us to anticipate, tne ultimate success of the combinations of the present campaign can, without the develop ment of new resources on the par: ot the South, which neither they nor us appear to anticipate, be no longer a matter of reason able doubt. North Georgia-—We learn that the ap pointment of Gen Wofford to the command of Northwest Georgia is having tue happiest results. Tne general is a citizen of that sec tion, well known by the people, has their con fidence, and has always been by them most highly esteemed. He is a brave man and a patriot, and has greatly distinguished himself in the war for his ability as an officer and his courage and devotion as a soliier. The Pre sident deserves the thanks of the people of the S'ate for sending Genera: WofFori to restore order in tnat section. The occupation of ail Northwest Georgia by the enemy, and the incursions ot t heir rai ders into ail other sections of North Georgia, and its isolation, to a great extent, from all the Trorld, had almost unhinged sonie-y. and a depiorabie state of affV.ri existed rn.sis all being speedily brought to rights. Order is being brought out ot chaos O’.vri a* is again resuming :*s benefirent sway, the men owing service to tne Government are repo-t --ing to him a most to a man. The people ot North Georgia ire as brave and true ae any the sun ever shone on, and nothing is uca.Dg to make them as zealous in oar cause, and in its battles as morals can oe, but to deal justly with them, and satisfy them that in o-oing to the field of battle they will be fighting to preserve the liberty and ndepen 1 euee to" which they were born. at. i • nUn they have aiwavs enjoyed W« ate most happy to recoil u ; 9ac £ff, whica, we learn, is resu.tmg from Gea. W » administration of affairs He ta the n * ht man in tbn rigat place —.l {icon Co* ederacy TuEßg are two distinct systems pursued by the enemy in dealing with the inhabitants off Confederate towns and cities which fali within their power. The one system is applicable to i such places as Columbia and Charlottesville, j which they merely enter and pas3 through, not hoping to boll them any length of time— ine other to iown3 like Savannah and Wilm ington, which they flatter themselves they have roanuexod permanently to the United States. \\ ith regard to the first class there is merely roboery and devastation, accompanied by more or iess insuit to tamities, and more or less of ue=-ruction and conflagration, according to the mdividjn character of the commander ! wb ■ leads the Y nkee forces. Bui in the la*- i ter lass ot cases, wnen they have once enter- i ed a city on t o; seaboard, which they believe they have only to govern and administer for * in? future as [ onion of the United States, i they hare a more uniform principle of action, j wh.eh is everywhere enforced with but little , variation. At Wilmington, for example, there j is publishe r a general order of Schofield pre scribing the civ:! rule for that city. It re- ; quires provost marshals to administer the oath j or allegiance to such persons as ccme within Lincoln’s arnnes'y proclamation, provided they (the provost marshals) are satisfied that such j persons take 'he oath cheerfully and voiunta- * riiy. Weekly reports are to be made, not only j of ah who have taken the oath, but of all other ; adult white persons, “touching the character i and conduct of each individual.” Persons of “ known disloyalty” are to be sent beyond the lines, or eise brought before a military com mission for trial and punishment. All buying and selling to be limited to what may be ne cessary “to supply the wants of the loyal peo ple.'’ “None but persons of undoubted loyal ty and good character'' (which means of course Union cllaraeter) “to be permitted to trade.” “ Loyai people,” and none others, are to be allowed to purchase family supplies, on per mits to be granted, and from authorized per sons ol!v. Further light is thrown upon what a “loyai man” and “good character” means, by a letter from Wilmington, published in the Northern papera. It «xplain»'tha matter thus —j‘ If the test were merely based on the con dition of their willingness to take the oath of allegiance at the present time, all the stores would be agaiu doing business. But General Schofield i3 determined that only those who have been Loyal , and not those who have been convinced into loyalty by the capture of the city, are entitled to such privileges”—namely, the privilege of buying food to eat. It may be asked how Federal general are to know who have been loyai, and how they are to be enabled to go behind the fact of a citizen co ming in and offering to take the oath before their provost marshal. You forget that the negroes of the town are always at hand to give you a character. The citizen who has not a negro protector is likely td jare ill. Further to illustrate the way of life in those cities so gloriously restored to the “Union,” some details are published, as coming from a refugee just arrived from Savannah. “ Those citizens of Savannah who have taken the oath (says this refugee) may purchase one article at a time from the shops, with a permit from the provost marshal, and the attendance of a negro guard.” Further, we leanl from the ' same authority, that “all the white troops have been withdrawn from Savannah, and the city ;a now garrisoned by Foster’s negro sol diers.” Those particulars will give something like an idea of the manner in which the citi zens live and enjoy themselves in one of those towns which have the happiness to see the stara and stripes once more floating over their ; public buildings; which have ceased (for the presen;) to be Confederate cities, and now ste{> “to the music of the Union.”— Richmond Ex aminer. Driving a Trade.— -It is 3aid that Messrs. Sin gleton and Hughes visited Richmond upon a tra ding expedition. The Yankees are fearful that wa will burn all our cotton and tobacco as they advance into the country, so that their expected victories will be barren of results in th.l3 regard. It is believed, therefore, that they are willing to trade us bacon, beef and flour for cotton and to bacco, which they greatly need for home con sumption. Now this is one of the mo3t remarka ble episodes in the history of war. That a nation bent upon our subjugation and threatening to exterminate us rather than fail in their object; a nation whose armies are overrunning our country and devastating our lands, should carry the sword and a proposition to trade with their enemies at the same timo, is, we say, one of the most curious spectacles ever witnessed. How foreign nations will regard this effort of the enemy to enjoy the exclusive benefit from the blockade of our ports, remains to be seen. It would- be politic for us to accept the offer if made; not only for the reason that we need the surplus of the food the Yankees have more than we need the cotton and tobacco, but for the addi tional reason that such illicit trade—we say illicit, because the enemy professes to have instituted a rig.Huus O'.ockado of all our ports, and deny to all nations the privilege of trading with us—might result in complicating the United States with the great maratime powers. It is not to be expected that they would con sent to have our ports sealed, and themselves denied the cotton, tobacco and a aval stores they need, while the enemy enjoy all the ben efit of an unrestricted commerce in those arti cles Such a Yankee trick would eventually result in a rupture. With this object, then;if the other reason stated did not exist, we wouid give a free consent to trade with a people to wards whom we have not the slightest affini ty. and with whom we could wish to have no commercial or other intercourse if the war were over. In the event of our entering into thi? ar rangement we should have to be vigilant, for our enemy is base enough to seek to destroy an army that it cannot overcome in the field, by mixing poison with the tool that be would send us. We should be a little chary of meal and flour coming from Yankeedom to feed our soldiers on. — Lynchburg Republic-in. (From the New York Herald.) The affairs of Mexico are at present attract ing a good deal of attention here, and I have heard a variety of expressions expressed, in this connection, as to Napoleon s idea in not making any allusion to the war in this coun try in his recent speech to the French Cham bers. The Emperor, no doubt, had good rea son for his silence. In the same connection. I have heard, on very good authority, that im portant dispatches have reached the State Department from Paris, bearing our relations with France and Mexico. The report goes that, at a late bail at the Tuiileries, the Emperor, in an off hand manner, said to a distinguished American gentleman present, -T am sorry to see that report in the papers about Sonora, as there is not a word of truth in it. For mv part. I am only desirous of getting out of the* whole matter.*’ This was. if true, a strange admission for Napoleon to make : but. for my part, I am willing to think th t there is strong ground for believing in the correct ness of the report. Tne question of the an nexation to France of any Mexican territory is. I imagine, one for future consideration, and its solution will altogether depend upon cir cumstances. In the meantime, we shall soon see whether Napoleon wi.i prove his words by his deeds. Heavy Taxation. —The Sumter Gs.

Vance on tub Crisis.— Governor Vance, of North Carolina, who is generally supposed to be sympathetic with the cranky and pernicious notion* of our own Chief Executive, ha3 recently issued a proclamation to the peopll of that State, regarding their duty in the present crisis of their country. We wish we had room for the entire document, as it shows how a crooked, but honest man can grow straight when he sees his country surrouaded by peril, and is in striking contrast with the ill-natured, unpatriotic paper recently presented to the Legislature of Georgia as an Ex ecutive message. The following closing paragraphs of Governor Vance’s proclamation may bo taken as a sample of the whole : Let the balance of our cities go—Charleston, Mobile, Wilmington, Richmond—and if we are determined to be froe our subjugation is quite as distant as ever. For, thank God, the Confederacy does not consist of bricks and mortar* or particular spots of ground, however valuable they may be in a miiitary point of view. Our nationality consists in our people. Liberty dwells in the hearts of her votaries, and ths ragged, barefooted soldiers, standing in the depths of the forests, or in the shadow of the mountain, can offer her sacrifices, which will be as sweet and as acceptable as those proffered in gorgeous temples in the midst of mag nificent cities. So, if our country and cause, iike to tho kingdom of God, be enthroned iu ourheaits, then, indeed, I am persuaded that neither princi palities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor bight nor depth, nor life nor death, nor any other creature shall be able to separate u3 from that independence and honor for which our people have suffered and our ’sons have died. Therefore, my countrymen, haviag warned you of this danger which is upon you, I now appeal to you, by. everything held sacred among men, to bearjyourselves a3 becomes jour high lineage and future hopes. I implore you to lay down all party bitterness, and to be reconciled to your neighbor for the sake of your country ; to use every possi ble exertion to restore absentees to the army ; to divide your abundance freely with the poor and the suffering; to strengthen the arms of your ruler3 and to maintain your soldiers and thoir generals ; and to give cheerfully your aid, mental, physical, and moral, in whatever sphere you may be, to prevent the degradation of your country and the ruin of its people. ♦ ♦ ♦ Through to Atlanta.—We are advised that trains now run through to Atlanta direct, from thi3 city, without stopping overnight at West Point, as under the late schedule. The public will be, by this arrangement, greatly accommodated, and ever remember Messrs. Oram and Peck, for making it. Both gentle men have always proven efficients in the man agement of the great interest with which they are entrusted, and consulted the interest of the traveling and business public as-well as those of their company. We believe this is the only railroad in this section of the coun try now running a night train.— Appeal. tv , * * . I iae Army and Navy Gazette of the United ! States asserts that the united forces of Sherman i and Schofield, operating in the Carolina?, foots up j 80,000 men, exclusive of Foster’s command, prin- j cipally negroes who are expected to garrison the cities that may fall. These are large figures, equaling those said to compose the army engaged ! against Atlanta iast year, but the number is not to be teared. If we have been correctly informed, 1 the forces concentrated under General Johnston and his subordinates greatly exceeds in numerical j strength the army employed between Dalton and : Atlanta.
