Hat* they coopcil HtiKBMitx up, and are they engaged in atarving him in their swamps or among their aand hills? Hare his troops tailed to find pigft, 8weet potatoes and corn, and arc they an*iotu to surrender, and accept the hospital-ities oT the Confederacy, at Andersonville ? Not much. The Richmond Examiner admits that Shkhmav will reach the sea-troast in safety. He has, on his march, done the enemy great damage, and they do not pretsnd that thoy have been able to hurt him.
