NEVADA TRANSCRIPT MARCH 3 & 4, 1865 143 Coffroth, English, Genson, Griswold, Herrick, Hutchins, Kelley, Kellog, King, McAllister, Nelson, Odell, Radford, Rollins, Steele and Wheeler. Total, 16. Eight members, all Democrats were absent. The real vote was 119 ayes to 56 noes—just one more aye than was needed. Mr. Cox of Ohio had a letter from Mr. Guthrie of Kentucky, urging him to vote for it, but could not see his way clear to do it, and his vote was finally recorded against it. A WASHINGTON dispatch says a delegation of Senators and Representatives called upon the President to urge the reinstatement of General Butler in his late command, or that some equally prominent command should be given him elsewhere. The President declined to grant the request, and it is said rebuked them for interfering in this manner with the control of the army, which was legitimately vested in Lieutenant General Grant. EDITORIAL CHANGE.—A telegram to the Marysville Appeal states that D. O. McCarthy, proprietor, and Calvin B. McDonald, editor of the American Flag, had a personal recontre, resulting in favor of the latter; and that McDonald had been superseded on the editorial staff by H. C. Bennett, formerly of the Grass Valley Union. SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1865 CAN SHERMAN BE CRUSHED?—The rebel sympathisers console themselves with the idea that the recent evacuations of Charleston, Savannah, Wilmington and other less important places are “strategic movements,” and that Beauregard has conceived some grand design by which he will utterly destroy the force of Sherman and reoccupy all the territory which the rebels have recently so ingloriously abandoned. The Marysville Express calls the recent evacuation of the rebel strongholds, “the abandonment of coast defenses and coast cities for the purpose of concentration.” The Democratic Press says, “Our recent victories are of no avail,” and asserts that our armies might occupy every town in the South without bringing the war any nearer a close than it was four years ago.” . . . [However, the] Richmond Enquirer, in speaking of Sherman’s movements, says: Sherman is rushing through the Carolinas like an avalanche. Report says he has captured 100,000 bales of cotton at Columbia. Grant is gradually, perhaps surely, extending his lines around Petersburg and Richmond, and threatens every moment to burst over the lines that intervene. This journal does not place as much confidence in the recent “strategic movements” of the rebel leaders as do the copperheads. They cannot by any possibility bring a force sufficient to crush Sherman. ... CLOSING UP.—From a card published in today’s paper, it will be seen that our business men have agreed to “rest from their labors,” and observe this day in honor of the inauguration of the President and the recent victories of Sherman. Wells, Fargo & Co., and the Post Office will be closed from 1 o’clock, A.M., to 4 o’clock, P.M. NO PAPER TOMORROW.—In order to give the printers connected with the TRANSCRIPT an opportunity to rejoice today, work will be suspended in the office, and consequently no paper will be issued tomorrow.
