ROCHESTER, N. Y., FEBRUARY 25, 1865. 
From the South, 
Tee Herald’s correspondent (15th) represents 
matters on Loth sides of tlie James river again 
quiet, interrupted only by occasional night ex¬ 
cursions at some portions of the lines between 
the pickets and batteries. 
Tbe Army of tbe Potomne holds its newly 
acquired ground on Hatcher’s Run, on which 
very strong earthworks are now erected. 
There are rumors that the enemy is mining 
one of the Union forts in front of Petersburg. 
Major General Wright returned to the army 
on Sunday last and resumed command of the 
9th corps, from which he had been absent since 
the early part of January. 
Desertions of rebels to Gen. Grant’s lines still 
continue numerous. 
Private advices from Richmond represent mat¬ 
ters there as iu a bad way for the rebels, and the 
difficulty of supplying the people and the army 
even with half rations is daily becoming almost 
insurmountable. 
A special to tbe Philadelphia Press from Nor¬ 
folk the 15th inst., Bays: . 
I have just seen a Capt, Goss, a deserter from 
the rebel forces. He left Richmond on Satur¬ 
day, and says that the authorities had ordered 
all work on the monitors at Richmond to cease. 
A double-cndcr was blown up by them on Thurs¬ 
day last. lie 6ays they arc about to evacuate 
Richmond. 
On Friday afternoon a rebel fiag-of-truce boat 
was blown up by a torpedo iu the James and 
sunk immediately. The torpedo was one which 
the rebels themselves had placed there some time 
ago. It is supposed that all of the crew perished. 
She had just brought down and delivered a load 
of exchanged Union prisoners. 
A party of picked cavalry recently made a raid 
on Charlotte, Va,, about uincty miles west by 
south of Petersburg, and destoyed the rebel 
foundries and machine shops at that place. 
It is said thoi Gen. Schofield lias landed his 
corps at Masonboro, ten miles east by south of 
Wilmington, and will march on the city from 
that direction, cutting across the peninsula and 
flanking tbe defenses on the north. 
The World's Hilton Head correspondent of 
tbe 8th, says:—Reliable information has been 
received here that Sherman’s army is rapidly 
marching on the line of the Edisto river, and 
that a portion of his troops are beyond the Geor¬ 
gia and South Carolina railroad, where they 
have erected defenses preparatory to a future 
march. 
The enemy have disappeared rapidly before the 
advance of our troops, and they have manifested 
a purpose to evacuate nearly all their st rongholds 
and retreat further uorth. This purpose has 
been tbe result of Sliermaa’6 tactics. That their 
retreat will be slowly but surely followed up, 
admits of no question. 
Our troops are known to extend over a dis¬ 
tance of 40 miles, and for several days past they 
have been occupied in destroying all the rail¬ 
roads which connect South Carolina with the 
Gulf and the Northern States. The object 
would seem to be to isolate Branchville, Augusta 
and Charleston, from all possible aid or re-en- 
forcemcuts in order to capture the garrison of 
each place. Some of our troop6 are north of 
Charleston, which is cut off from re-enforce- 
ments. 
The corps are moving simultaneously on the 
line of the Edisto, and the towns they have 
passed through have been deserted by numbers 
of their inhabitants who have forced the able- 
bodied negroes to leave with them in order that 
they may not aid our army. 
Most gratifying intelligence comes to us this 
(Monday) morning, Feb. 20th, from the army 
under General Sherman. For several days past 
the movements of this victorious General have 
been watched (so far as advices could bo obtained 
from him,) with more than ordinary interest. 
The rebel papers have appeared despondent of 
their cause in tlie vicinity of Sherman’s opera¬ 
tions for some time past.
