That the war is being prosecuted with vigor and that the rebellion is fast waning, can best be demonstrated by comparing the situation a year ago with the present. Then the rebels were still in possession of Yicksburg, Port Hudson, had firm foothold in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Lee's army was invading Pennsylvania. Thous ands of our citizens were fleeing with their stock in all directions, and appre hensions were entertained that the rebels would cross the Susquehanna, capture Harrisburg, devastate the in terior, and perhaps take Philadelphia. How stands the ease now? Our flag is displayed within sight of the rebel capital, whose citizens "hourly hear the thunder of hostile cannon; our troops occupy ground thus far untrod by northern soldiers, both in Virginia and Georgia, and the war is thus car ried into the heart of the confederacy. If this is not encouraging, then we do not know what the word means; and if loyal men will but have patience, such as would he exercised under any I extraordinary difficulties, wo are firm in the conviction that the beginning of the end is in view. A day, a week, a month, or half a year may ho ne cessary, to produce this result, hut it will come, despite the eroakings of northern tories. The slaves in the counties of Pavies, Henderson, and Union, in Kentucky, are deserting the plantations ty scores, and making their way to the Union lines. The Louisville Journal says, ' ; The blacks are entirely demoralized, and cannot be con trolled by their masters." It is passing strange these contra bands cannot appreciate the " bless ings of slavery." According to lazy preachers, tory politicians, and bar room suckers, southern bondage must bo the happiest of all states on earth, yet these darkies are so ungrateful that they will not stay, but leave by | scores to work in the Union lines or ■ even shoulder a musket in defence of the stars and stripes! We know of no remedy for this state of things un less the old and young masters go to work themselves, or else get the fel lows here who extol slavery as a mod ern paradise to go down south, take possession of the happy homes of the contrabands, and like dutiful serfs go to work for the christian masters, in r>turn gratefully receiving so much corn, so much meat, and an indeSuite quantity of stripes for their services! new pieces of music have been issued by J. Marsh, 1102 Chest nut street, Phila., entitled "The Sens ation March" and "Sanitary Waltz," the first composed by H. C. Orth, the latter by Hose Eynder, price 30 cents each. Tho "Sensation," like all those in our day, is introduced by the sound of drums; the middle portion forming a march, followed by a cornet ending. The " Sanitary" of course is inscribed * to the Commission. Send for them. —The 875,000,000 national loan has been taken at an average of 104 i. —Gold, for speculation, has reached New. York from Europe. —The fugitive slave law has been repealed. —Some chaps who gloried in the name of copperhead a year ago, are drawing in their horns, and now feel rather restive under the term. What Democratic Soldiers Say. A son of David Moore, of West But ftiloe township. Union county, enlisted in nn Illinois Regiment, a rampant Democrat. While serving in Missis • ... sippi. recentlj*. he wrote to a friend in Union county a letter, published in the Mifflinburg Telegraph, the conclu sion of which we quote as follows : "There is another thing that will have much to Jo with ttie closing up of this war during the next year, and that is for the re election of Abraham Lincoln. It will discourage the rebels more than the loss of Richmond. They will see that the North is determined not to compromise with trai tors, and they w : ll begin to count the cost of carrying on this war four years longer. It will also have a good effect on foreign nations. * * * * If there should be a Pres ident elected next fall who would be will ing to compromise with the rebels, and call our armies from the field, the result would be the recognition of the Southern Confed eracy, the dissolution of the Union, and the disgrace of every soldier in the service. Such a state of things, I hope, may never come to pass. I hope common sense will prevail with the people at home, and that they will re elect Old Abe, as a military necessity. If I am allowed to vote this fall I'll give him a vote as long as my arm. WAI. 11. MOORE " I The Gold Speculators. I People are wondering why gold contin- 1 i I ues to advance when everything looks so favorable for ultimate success in tl e field. ! i New York papers throw some light on this • ! j subject. Says the Express: i "There is a clique in Wall and William 1 streets and elsewhere striving to run up gold to 200, expecting to sell out at a large I ! profit." Says the New York Herald : "Wall street is in a measure, in the hands of rebel sympathizers and direct reb ! el agents, who create a fictitious price for ; the purpose of showing the embarrassed j condition of affairs at the North, to dis- j pirit our people and give comfort to the ' enemy and its agents." The Express is a copperhead paper and the Herald "half-and-half"'—so ! that our readers can see what element is at work creating high prices. Add ed to this .the fact that the chairman of the "Patent Democratic National Committee" is a foreign Jew, agent for the great speculators, the Eothschilds, and no one need wonder that specula tors rule everything needed in living. Its all done to aid the rebels. The annual session of the Grand Lodge of Penna. Independent Order of Good Templars, recently assembled in Harrisburg, unanimously adopted the following resolutions: W II ERE AS, We have a<rain assembled ' in Grand Lodge session, and contrary to I our most ardent hopes and wishes, rebels 1 and infamous traitors are still threatening and aiming at the very vitals of our once peaceable and happy country, and seeking to destroy the greatest and noblest Govern ment that ever existed upon God's foot stool; therefore, at this time all public or ganizutions should stand fairly and unmis takably on the side of liberty aud free government; therefore, Resolved, That the members of this 'Grand Lodge feel it a privilege as well as I a duty to again renew our vows of fidelity to our country. Resolved, j hat we heartily approve of ■ all the measures that have been adopted by i the Government to purge the Nation o the cause ot the rebellion—slavery, and that the future peace and prosperity of our country can only be permanently attained by conquering or destroying the armies of the rebels, and enforcing submission to the powers that be throughout the entire | laud. Resolved, That we believe that much ot the inhuman barbarity committed by the rebels in violation ol the usages of war , might be traced to excessive indulgence in alcoholic drinks, and further believe ! the use of liquors in our own army I has already caused more decrepitude aud j death than the pestilence of hospitals or i the malaria ot swamps; therefore, be it ! further Resolved, That it is the duty of the i Government to banish entirely from the army intoxicating liquors of every name and kind, and thereby prevent the many sad and fatal blunders of drunken officers, and save the young and unsuspecting in the army from contracting habits that will | de.-troy their future usefulness in this life, ; ■ and rob them of all hope ot immortal joys 1 in the life which is to come. fhe Lady s hriend. —The July number ol this magazine opens with a beautiful steel engraving, called "How they Caught u Hsh. j hen follows a very handsome fashion plate; also an engraving of the Em . press Eugenie, and a number of others, de- I voted to the illustration of the latest styles of dress, &C.

Sherman's head quarters, dated 3 p. m., yesterday, near • Kenesaw, states that the General is in front, advancing his lines on Kenesaw. Another (unofficial) dispatch, dated at 6 p. in., yesterday, reports "souie advance to-day; that Thomas has gained ground, and that one rebel brigade is nearly sur rounded." It further reports that "the rebel Gen eral Polk was killed to day. His body was sort to Marietta." In another part of General Sherman's East Missi-sipi division, our forces have not met with the success which has attend ed competent commanders. General VV ashburne, at Memphis, re i ports that the expedition, consisting of .1,000 cavalry and 5.000 infantry and six | teen pieces of artillery, sent out from there a few days ago, under, command of Gener i al Sturgis, encountered a large rebel force, ! on the 10th inst., under command of For rest, at Guntown, on the railroad running south from Corinth, and after a severe fight, in which our loss in killed and wound : e>d \ras heavy, our forces were worsted; that at the last accounts Sturgis was at Colliergville, retreating toward Memphis. He fur'her states that, with the troops j that had lately arrived, meuiphis is safe. General Sherman having received the news of Sturgia' defeat, reports that he has ; already made arrangements to repair the disaster, and has placed Gen. A. J. Smith in command, who will resume the offensive j immediately. -No other military intelligence has been j received by this department since my last i telegram. ° L M. STANTON, See'y. of War. WASHINGTON, .June 15, 7 a. m. The movement ot the Army of the j Potomac to the south side of Richmond, | acro-s the (Jhickahominy and James rivers, has progressed far enough to admit of the i publication of some general facts without | danger of a premature disclosure. After several days' preliminary prepara ; tions, the movement commenced on Sun -1 day night. The IBth Army Co-ps, under : command of Gen. Smith, marched to the \\ bite House, and then embarked on trans ; ports tnr Bermuda Landing. General \\ right's coips and Burvide's moved to Jones Bridge, where they cross ed the (Jhickahominy, and marched thenee to Charles city, on the James river. Han cock's and Warren's corps crossed the Chickuhominy at Long Bridge, and march ed thence to M ileox's, on the James river. The James river was crossed by the Army at Powhatan Point. A dispatch from General Grant, dated Monday evening 54 o'clock, Headquart ers, Wilcox's Landing, states that the ad vance ot our troops had reached that place, and would commence crossing the .James i river to morrow, Tuesday, and that Smith's corps would commence crossing at City i Point th; t night; that no fighting was re ported during the movement, except a little cavalry skirmishing. Yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, at 1 o'clock, Gen. j Grant was at Bemuda Landing. In a dispatch from him da'ed there, of that date, he says : "Our forces will commence crossing the James river to day. The enemy sJs\v no j sigus or yet having brought troops to the srfuth side of Richmond. Our movement j from Cold Harbor to the James river has been made with great celerity, and so far ; without loss or accident." An unofficial dispatch, dated at head- I quarters, 5.20 p. in , says that Smith's corps was coming in, 5,000 having already landed. E. M. STANTON, Sec'y. of War. WASHINGTON, June 18—10 p. m. The following dispatch from Gen. Grant, | dated yesterday at 11 o'clock a. m, at City Point has been received by this de- j partment. The 9th Corps this morning carried two redoubts forming a part of the defences of! Petersburg, capturing 450 prisoners and j four guns. Our successes are being followed up— our forces drew out from within fifty yards of the intrenchments at Cold Harbor, i made a flank movement, average of about! fifty iniles march, crossing the Chickahom ' iny and James river, the latter being2ooo i feet wide and 84 feet deep at the point of crossing, and surprised the enemy's rear at Petersburg. This was done without the loss of a wa gon or piece of artillery, and onlj- about ! one hundred and fity stragglers were picked j up by the enemy. In covering this move, Warren's Corps j and Wilson's cavalry had frequent skir- j mishing with the enemy, each having from fifty to sixty killed and wounded, but in j flicting an equal if not greater loss on the enetuy. The 18th Corps, Smith's, were transfer- 1 red from White House to Bermuda Hun- j dred by water. It moved out near to Petersburg in the night, and captured the very strong works northeast of Petersburg ; before sufficient force could be got in them \ by the enemy to hold them. He was joined the night following this capture by the 2d Corps, which in turn captured more of the enemy's redoubts j further south, and this corps was followed , by the 9th with the result above stated. All the troops are now up except two I divisions covering the wagon trains, and they will be up to-night. The enemy in their endeavors to reinforce i Petersburg, abandoned their intrench meats ! in front of Bermuda Hundred. They no . doubt expected troops from the north side j of James river to take their places before j they were discovered. Butler took advantage of this and moved ! a force at once upon the railroad and plank road between Richmond and Petersburg, i which I hope to retain possession of. • I Too much credit cannot he given the troops and their commander for the energy and fortitude displayed during the last five • days Hay and night lias teen all the r same, no delays being allowed on any ac -1 count. Later unofficial dispat'-hes show that at o'cioek this mun i ig the en t euiy still occupied Petersburg. Major - Morton was killed in an assault yesterday, i Nothing has been received to day from Sher - j man or Hunter. E. M STANTON, Sec'y of War. WASHINGTON, June 18 —11 p. m. . Dispatches from Gen. Sheridan have just been received. He reports a victory over the enemy at 'I revillian station on the ; "V irginia Central railroad a few miles south ot Gordonsville, where Gen. Lee a few days ■ ago reported a rebel victory. The official report is as follows : "I have the honor to report to you the arrival of my command at this point, and | also to report its operations since leaving New Castle terry. I crossed the Pamun ky river on the 7th inst., marching via Aylett's, and encamped on Herring creek. On the morning of the Bth I resumed the march via Polecat Station, and en camped three miles west of the station. On the 9th I marched through Chiles burg and near Matchett, encamping on E. N E. Creek, near Young's bridge. On the 10th I inarched via Andrews' I avern and Teviuian's Store, crossing both branches of the North Anna, and encamped i at Buchehilds, about three miles north of Trevillian Station. My intention was to break the railroad at this station, march through Mechanicsville, cut the Gordons ville and Charlottsville road near Lindsay's House and then to march on Charlottsville. Rut on our arrival at Buchehild's House I j found the enemy's cavalry in my imme- I diate front. On the morning of the 11th, General Torbert with his division and Col Greggs's Brigade of General Geary's division at tacked the enemy and after an obstinate : contest drove liiui from the successive lines of breast works through an-almost impas sable forrest back on Trevillian Station. In the uieai time Gen Custer was or dered with his brigade to proceed by a ; country road so as to reach the station in the rear of the enemy's cavalry. On his arrival at this point the enemy broke into a complete ruut, leaving twenty officers, five hundred men and three hundred ! horses. The operations occupied the whole of the day—at night I encamped at Trevillian Station and on the morning of the 12th commenced destroying the railroad from I this point to Louisa court house. This hcS thoroughly been executed, the ties burned and the rails rendered unservicea ble. The destruction of the railroad oc cupied until 3 o'clock of this day. 1 directed Gen Torbert to advance with his division and Gen. Davis' brigade on Gordonsville, and attack the enemy, who had concentrated and been reinforced by 1 infantry during the night, and had also constructed rifle pits at a point five miles from Gordonsville. The advance was-made, but as the enemy's position was too strong , to assault, no general attack was made. On the extreme right of our lines a por tion of the Reserve brigade carried the en my s forts twice, and was twice driven therefrom by infantry. Night closed the j contest. I found on the examination of the com mand that there was not a sufficiency of j ammunition left to continue the engage- j merit next day. Trains ot cars also eaine i down to where we were engaged with the : enemy. The reports of prisoners and citizens ; were that Picketts' old division, or a por- I tiop of it, were coming to prevent the | j taking of Gordonsville. I therefore, during the night and next morning withdrew nr} - command over the North Anna, via Carpenter's Ford, near Miner's Bridge. In addition, the animals were for the entire days in which we were | engaged without forage. The surround ing country afforded nothing but grazing i of a very inferior quality, and generally at j such points as were inaccessible to*us. The cavalry engagement of the 12th ; was by far jthe most brijliant one of-the , present campaign. The enemy'? loss is very heavy. They lost the following named officers in killed and wounded : Col. McAlister, command ing a regiment, killed; Brig. Gen Roasar, commanding a brigade, wounded; Col Aken, 1 commanding a regiment, wounded; Col. I Custer, commanding a regiment, wounded. My loss in killed and wounded will be ! about five hundred and seventy five; of this number four hundred and ninety were ; wounded. I brought off in uiy ambulan- ' ces three hundred and seventy seven, all j that could be transported. The remainder, with a number of rebel wounded that fell into my hands, were left behind. Sur geons and attendants were detailed and re ! mained in charge of them. I captured, and have now with me three j hundred and seventy prisoners of war, in- I eluding twenty commissioned officers. My loss in captured will not exceed one hundred and sixty; they were principally from the fifth Michigan cavalry. This ! regiment gallantly charged dovn the Gor donsville road, capturing 1,500 horses and about BUO men, but were finally surround i ed and made to give them up. I IV hen the erneniy broke they hurried between lien. Lusters command aud Col. Gregg's brigade, capturing 5 caissons of Pennington s battery, three of which were afterwards re captured, leaving in their 1 : hands two caissons. A more derailed report will be made • hereafter." E. M. STANTON, Sec'y. of War. . June 19, 9 45 p. m. | This evening a dispatch from City Point, dated at 9 o'clock this morning, reached the Department. It reports that our forces ad vanced yesterday to within about a mile in front of Petersburg, where they ffiund the en emy occupying a new line of entrenchments, which, after eucce-sive assaults, we failed to carry, but hold and have entrenched posi tions. From the forces of (he enemy within the • new line it is inf. rred that Beauregard has been reinforced front Lee's arm v No report has be. n Vectived by the Department concern u>g the casualties of t>ur army in its opera tions russing the Junes river, except the death ul Major Morton, mentioned yes. terday. J General Sherman reports to day that the enemy gave way last night in the midst of | darkness and st. rm. and at daylight our pk ets entered h s line from right to left. The | whole army is now in pursuit as far as the Ohattahooehie. He starts at once for Mari : etfa. No military intelligence from any other quarter has been receive! t > day. • K M STANTON. See'y. of War. YY ASIIINGTON, June 20, 10 p in. No opera t ois today upon the James river have been reported -to the depart merit. Unofficial statements represent our loss 1 to have been severe in the assaults on the enemy's works on .Saturday, hut no official list of the casualties has been received. Gen. Sherman, in a dispatch dated this evening, at 7 30, says : '•I was premature in announcing that i the enemy had abandoned his position. 1 based my report on that of all the army commanders. The enemy has thrown : back his flank, and abandoned ail his woi ks in front of the Lenesaw mountain, but holds that mountain as the apex of his position, with his flank behind Noonday and Moses creek. "Wo have pressed him pretty closelyJ | -to-day, although the continued rain makes ; all movement almost an impossibility." (ten. Foster, commanding the Depart ment of the South, at Hilton Head, for wards the following dispatch, dated the 10th of June at Hilton Head, S. 0.: "1 have the honor to report, that I have to-day received from Maj >r General Sain uel Jones, commanding the rebel forces | in tlds department, a letter stating that live general officers of the United States, as prisoners of war, had been placed in ! ( harleston, to be retained there under our tire. Against this weak and cruel act I | have protested. In the meantime, the fire ! on the city is continued. I respectfully ask that an equal num bei ol rebel officers of equal rank may be sent to me, in order that 1 may place them i under the enemy's fire as long as our offi cers arc exposed in Charleston." 1 his department has issued a retaliatory order, transferring to Gen. Foster an equal number of general oflieers to be treated in the manner proposed as long as our officers are exposed in Charleston. E. M. STANTON, Sec'y of War. • AY c have no later official news, but there is no doubt Petersburg is com pletely invested, and that the city it self is within range of our cannon. The great battles of the war may pos- j sibly be touglit there. —A pontoon bridge was constructed by our engineers across the James riv er the other day in the space of eight hours where the water was eight v teet deep and half a mile wide.
