AMERICA- NEW YORK, Feb 18 (Morning.)—General Sherman has reached the south bank of the Congaree, a few miles east of Columbia. The Confederates retreated to the north bank. A battle is imminent. Northern accounts state that Sherman captured Branchville after three day's fighting; while Southern reports asserts that it was evacuated without fighting. A courier from General Sherman to Admiral Porter has arrived at Smithville, having ridden across the country. He announces the capture of Branchville on the 8th inst., by Sherman, after three days' hard fight- ing. Southern papers do not mention any battle, but state that in consequence of the Federal occupation of Orangeburg, Branchville was abandoned. General Beauregard has taken up a new Jine to cover Columbia.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS. At the expiration of existing contracts objectionable medical advertisements will no longer appear in the WELSHMAN. This determination was come to before the late discussion in the London papers, and for several months past as the contracts terminate the advertisements are discontinued. Our last contract ends on the 9th of June.

THE Bill introduced by Mr Villiers last week "for the better distribution of the relief of the poor in Unions," wherein he proposes to make the area of changeability commensurate with the area of administration," that is to say, to throw the relief of all the poor in a Union on the Common Fund, or, in other words, to intro- duce Union rating, if passed into law, will go far to mitigate the effects of the present law of settlement. The tendency of all legislation on this subject since IS 10 has been in the direction of Union rating. No less than three Select Com- mittees of the House of Commons have recom- mended it. Indeed, in the Act of 1834 power was given to transfer the area of rating from the parishes to the Union where the parishes were unanimous in desiring it only two Unions, however, availed themselves of this permission. Having regard to the great difficulties sur- rounding the subject, the legislature has been very cautious in its proceedings. In 1847 a principle was introduced which may be re- garded as the first great step in these reforms. It. was provided that a continuous residence of five years in any parish should con- stitute irremovcability from such parish, and by a subsequent Act the cost of all lunatics, and other irremoveable poor, should be borne by the Common Fund of the Union wherein they re- sided. In 1861, however, the most important changes were effected. Before that time the several parishes were only liable for their settled poor, and their contributions to the Union Charges or Common Fund were according to their aver- age poor expenditure for the previous three years. j In 18(11 the residence to give a status of irre- moveability was limited to three years, and the area of chargeability enlarged from the parish to the Union; it was moreover provided that

whose version of what had occurred in the committee- room waa not correct. Mr Knight said he should divide the House. Mr Villers said that if the hon gentleman postponed his motion for a day or two he should make inquiries as to whether the figures he wished for ere in the Poor Law Office. Mr Knight, under these circumstances, postponed his motion.
