Grant and Lee.
It appears that General Giant has
again changed his base, aud has safely
crossed the Chickaltorainy and James
rivers. in a few days we may expect ex.-
citing news.
Grant is pressing Lee very hard who
seems to give way before. him. We do
not believe that Lee will mite; Rich
mond. If he does he will place himself
in a trap from which there would be no
means to escape. His army could not
,endure a siege there of two months du
ration ; and be would be compelled to
surrender, as Pemberton. aid at Vicks
burg, for want. of supplies, from which
ho wq,uld be cut off by the besieging army of
Grant. Suppose, however, Richmond to
be taken, and Lee's army be allowed to
retire southward, without much damage,
what would Grant have really accomplish
ed, and where would be the signs of any
real or sastantial progress towards the
suppression of the rebellion ? IJe could
bold out and fight to great advantage, at
every favorable point in North Carolina,
South Carolina or Georgia. He would
conscript supplies and men, and fight on
as heretofore, and Grant would have to
follow him hundreds of wiles slowly, con
tinuously, and under incalculable difficul
ties. Grant's policy then, is clear, and
his own declaration proves that he fully
comprehends it. "I propose," said he,
"to fight it out on this line if it takes all
summer," The time has arrived when
the North must deal out "reeling, stag
gering, death blows" upon the Southern
army, at whatever costs, and whatever
hazard, and this Grant is doing. No
matter though hard blows are inflicted in
return, though Grant's divisions may be
repulsed, it will be only the prelude
to renewed attacks' under which. Lee's
Army must melt AWay, until its blows be
come so feeble as hardly to be felt. Lee
understands this as well as Grant, and
hem he has become more cautious.—
From the stubbornness with which Lee
+jild,s . t.„.9 l ver,,y strong position
tire .before_the strategy of Grant, it is
evident that he intends to fight, out the
great bade, or series of battles, which
must be fought in Virginii»' Gen. Grant
said, evidently impressed with the idea
from the stubbornness with which Lee
ights—that the rebels "must hive found
i the last ditch." The-present will doubt:
less be the bloodiest campaign of the war.
Thus far the advantage is with Grant,
and though he may meet with severe re
pulses, still, when we consider all the cir
cumstances of the case, we cannot doubt
that be Will, find hitusa*master of the
situation—the conqueror of the hitherto
invincible Lee.
You Can't Sueceed
This is very poor encouragement, to
those just starting out upon the road of
hon,:r or usefulness. And yet there are
those who stand in. the way, and unlike
- guide boards—which never move, but
point thC way to otheri, these stand as
ecare-crows to. deter timid feet, and to
damp the ardor of good resolutions.
"You can't succeed" is 'always iu the
mouths ofidlers and 'policy men." We
ehoi}lci indeed be cautions on all matters.—
. Cautionis a prominent virtue in the charac
ter of every successful man. But pray
do not misconstrue caution into down
right cowardice. A. person of excessive
caution, who never moves only when he is
compelled to by the irresistable course of
things, demand far less respect than he
who daslatis ahead with an utter disre
gard for all prudence 4 while his heart is
in the right direction.
Those timid people pass through the
world ever bearing the reputation of
scarfs'-crows, and faulteguders. In. the
right way with the light of intelligence
and truth, beaming upon your wai, you
cannot faiL The precise object you seek
may not be obtained; but your labor and
. prayers will not be lost.
One unholy rebellion would long since
have bean crushed, had not so many
semi-trattorous scars-crows been found in
the councils of loyal peOple. If we can
not succeed in the pathway of truth and
right, it must be th 3 most supreme folly
to, require human beiogsato follow these
paths. .

and the extensive patronage which it re

..EDiTOR
Tb" Army of the Potomac
The New York correspondent of the
London Times, who is well known to be
6-eorge Augustus Sala, the quondam nov
elist, although a uniform partisan of the
rebel cause in the present war, is driven
in his last letter to nay,of the Army of
the Potomac in the present campaign,
that "it is impossible for any one, what
ever his opinion of the cause of the quar
rel may be, to withhold his admiration for
the noble qualities it has displayed iu this
the most tremendous struggle iu which
this army was ever engaged." It is true
that this grudging tribute is coupled with
greater praise of the rebels, but even this
much is something to be extorted from
our invariable enemies and detractors.—
Before the termination of the campaign,
the Army of the Potomac will leave its
fame upon each a basis as will shame the
scribblers for the English press who have
been so busily engaged in slandering it.
Terrible Death of 'Skeditalleifi
NiU'e conscripts escaped from a car be
tween Springfield, Mass., and Albany on
Wednesday night, five by jumping from
the windows and the others by crawling
through a hole they had made in the
floor. Seven of them were killed and
the remainder will die, it is thought,
from injuries received in getting out of
the train while it was in rapid motion.—
The bodies were found lying along the
track for several miles.
A lot of bounty jumpers were on
board the train, and furnished the sub
stitutes with liquor. One of them was
arrested for doing it, and when the train
arrived at Greenbush an attempt was
made by his comrades to rescue him.—
The result was that the guard shot one
supposed to be of them named William
Merray, of South Brooklyn, iu the thigh,
so that he died iu a short time.
The Commutation Clause
Remonstrantes are being sent to the
deligations in Congress from the princi
pal cities, against the pros osed repeal of
the three hundred dollar commutation
clause in the conscription bill. The ar
gument advanced is that it would be to
play into the hands of the bounty brok
ers, and create a system of heartless specu
lation, which would neither benefit the
government' nor the people. These re
monstrances are said to be from men of
political faiths, and what is especially
worthy of note, include not a few officers
connected with the service, who have
been and are now active in procuring en
listments for the army under the law as
it now stands.
PENNSYLVANIA SOLDIER DROWNED.
—The body of a Federal soldier drifted
ashore near Chapel Point, a few miles
from this village, on Friday last. Au
army medal with the following words en
graved upon it was found on the body :
"Corporal Edward R. Ford, Pittston,
Penn., Batt. 31, 2d Art., Pa. Vols."—
An inquest was held by Justice John F.
Thompson, And the verdict was, that the
deceased came to his death from some
cause unknown to the jury.—Port To

The New York Bun says a little girl
of that city, who is bedridden, prevailed
upon her mother to buy her a half dozen

constantly warm by the beat other body.
Thursday morning the patience of the

The sober second thought,of,the_eolumu

_correct in respect_ to 'men and measures.
But it is equally true that a great many"
men, - without worth or merit, contrive to
win popular favor and for a time are es
timated very muck - above their trad'valite:
A sensation preacher may fora time draw
full houses, a flippant lawyer secure mul
titudes of elients,and a boasting physician
may be sought after by troops of patients,
but a day nfretribution will surely come;
and, while the chaff is blown away, the
wheat will only remain. Whenever we
see a professio nal man, be he lawyer, min
ister or doctor, who is blowing his, own
trumpet, and boasting of his own skill and
ability, we invaqjpbly infer that no one
would ever discover his superiority with
out his telling of it.
Boasting, although it may be successful
for awhile, isa sure indication of conscious
weakness. We know that it is not un
frequently the case that men who are first
and foremost in the advocacy and support
of usZful public measures, are looked upon
with distrust and suspicion, while others
who do nothing for the public good, bear
off the popular honors. But the latter
are never public benefactors; they never
leave awl, impress, make any mark or do
anything towards moulding and directing
the institutions of society. They do well
enough in fair weather, but when difficul
ties and dangers arise, they sink out of

There are men in every community who
are spoken of as unpopular, and seldom
or never are the recipients of popular
honors, who, when an emergency occurs
of real magnitude, at once bound into the
front ranks with the free and hearty con
sent of those who but a little while before
effected to desp'se them. Such men not
unfrequently feel that they are not ap
preciated, that all their efforts for the
public welfare are distrusted, and the
consequence is, they aro too apt to become
too selfish iu their feelings and sordid in
their action, excusing .themselves by re
ferring to the false eclat that pertains to
men far less worthy than themselves of
public promotion. Men of marked indi
viduality and unbending integrity are
usually the subjects of jest and ridicule
and still their assailants reAlly have the
most prolbitud respect fur them.
Final Report of the Ladies Soldiers'

These latOntli are issued under the:Act,.
Congress of March 8th,11364. which: provid
that all-Bonds issued under this Act shall
be EXEMpT,FROM: TAXATION by or
under anY-state municipal authority:
SubscriptiOns to these Bonds are-received
in United States notes or notes of National
Bunks. — They are TO BE REDEEMED
TN COIN, at the pleasure of the Govern
ment,-at any period not leis ten than nor
more than forty years from their date, and
until their redemption FIVE PER CENT.
INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN,
on Bonds of not over one hundred dollars
annually and on all othor Bonds semi-an
finally. The interestis payable on thefirst
days of, March and September in each year
Subscribers will receive either Register
ed or Doupon Bonds, as they may prefer.
Registered Bonds are recorded on the books
of the U. S. Treasurer, and can be tranfer
red only on the owner's order. Coupon
Bonds are payable to bearer; and are more
convenient for commercial uses.
Subscribers to this loan will have the op
tion of hawing their Bonds draw interest
from March Ist, by paying the accrued in
terest in coin—(or in United States notes,
or the notes of National Banks, ttddingfifty
per cent. for premium,) or receive them
drawing interest from the date of subscrip
tion and deposit. .A..s these Bonds are
Exempt from Municipal or State Taxation,
their value is increased from one to three
per cent, per annum, according to the rate
of tax. levies in various parts of the country.
At the present rate of premium on gold
they pay
Over Eight Per Cent Interst
in currency, and are of equal convenience
as a permanent or temporary investment.
It is believed that no securities offer so
great inducements to lenders as theVarions
descriptions of U. S. "Bonds. In all other
forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability
of private parties or stock companies or
separate communities only is pledged for
payment, while for the debts of the United
States the whole property of the country
is holden to secure the payment of both
principal and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in
sums from $5O up to any magnitude, on the
same terms, and are thus made equally
available to the smallest lender and the
largest capitalist. They can be converted
into money at any moment, and the holder
will have the benefit of the interest.
It may be useful to state in this connec
tion that the total Funded Debt of the Uni
ted States on which interest is payable in
gold, on the 3d day of March, 1264, was
$768,965,000. The interest on this debt for
the coming fiscal year Will be 1.42,937,126,
while the customs revenue In gold for the
current fiscal year, ending June 30th, 1864,
hus been so far at the rate of over $lOO,OOO,
000 per annum.
It will be seen that even - titaip;eient gold
revenues of the Government are largely in
excess of the wants of the Tiea.surer forthe
payment of gold Interest, while the recent
increase of the tariff will doubtless raise
the annual receipts from customs on the
same arn o nut ofimportations, t 05150,000,000
per annum.
