OUR VICTORY.
All doubt is now (May 14th.) at u aa end.
After a series of desperate battles, con
tested on both sides with matchless valor,
skill, and obstinacy, the Army of the
Potomac has won a decided, if not a de
cisive, victory, The scale hung even on
the balance for seven dreadful days; but
on the eighth day anxiety gave place" to
certainty, and success crowned the offorts
of that noblest of all the =irks known to
history.
It can no longer be denied that the
first seven day's battles were on the whole
adverse to our arms. On :no one day
could General Grant fairly claim any ad
vantage that gave him or the country an
assurance of success. True, Lee retreat
ed after the battle of Friday, May 6, but
it'was only to take up a stronger pnsition.
He lost neither guns, colors, norprisoners,
and if he could have kept on inflicting the
same terrible punishment on our troops
the latter could never have reached Rich
mond, except as prisoners of war. Any.
thing less than the capital would have
been the defeat of Grant, and it would
signify little whether Lee advanced Or
retreated, or whether the final battle was
fought on the Rapidan or under the walls
of Richmond, so long as our army was
foiled of its great purpose. But the bat
tle of Thursday is a great step toward the
final possession ofßichmond. Had Lee
lost five thousand prisoners and thirty ,
canon in the first day's battle and then re
treated, be and his army might have hop
ed to recover their ground ; but after a
st,ruggle so continuous and deadly, the
rebel soldiers must be more than men if
they can stand an undoubted defeat with
out a loss of some of those qualities which
make troops formidable on the battle-field,
save perhaps sheer desperation.— World.
Robert L. Johnston, Esq.
We clip the following paragraph in re
lation to our distinguished friend, Robert
L. Johnston, Esq., of Cambria county,
from an article on the State Convention,
published in a recent number of that able
and influential journal, the Erie Observ
er:
" Mr. Johnston is an eminent lawyer of
clambria county, a gentleman of fine per
sonal appearance, the purest personal
character, and good speaking quities.—
We believe he has never held any office,
or asked one, though residing in a county
which is firmly Democratic, where be
could obtain almost any public station be
aspired to."
In the selection of this able and talent
ed gentlenian as one of the Presidential
Electors at large for Pennsylvania, the
late State Convention acted very wisely
and prudently; for Robert L. Johnston
Esq. ►s a pare minded, disinterested pat
riot, aspiring to no office and seeking no
personal aggrandizement—a bold, earnest
and , eloquent defender of the . Constitu
tion, and the inalienable rights of the
American people; and should our now
bleeding country ever again enjoy the in
estimable blessings of peace, liberty and
prosperity, it will be accomplished thro'
the exertions and•wisecounsels of sterling,
true . - men, like Robert L. Johuston.—

TUE COURrPTIONS AT WASTIP.MTO.N.- . 7.
Tbe Springfield Republican,which sup
ports the administration, anwhich is the
Iding N. England rep.lcturnal,gives the
following. It needs no comment at our
hands :
"It is a sad, a shocking picture of life
in Washington which our correspondebt
gives us. A bureau of the Treasury De
partment made a house of seduction and
prostitution. The necessities of poor and
pretty women wade the means of their de
bauchery by high government officials.—
Members of Congress patting their mis
tresses into clerlanips in the departments.
An honorable Senator knocked down in
the street by a woman whom he had out
raged. Whisky drank ad libitum. The
government cheated in contracts and open-
ly robbed by its employees. Writes our
careful correspondept—long a resident in
the capital : WZhington was never so
villainously corrupt as at the present time.
In the pality days of Southern rule of
slavery, there was not half the corruption
there now is.' We do not doubt it is
strictly true;. and we repeat this is a sad,
shocking picture."
'This is the picture, drawn 14 a "loyal"
paper, of Washington under the "Re
form - adniinistration. The last sentence
only accords with what Mr. Dawes,(rep.)
of Mass., nnnannced at the longsession of
the last Congress.
Eir 'Mr. Lincoln's politic-41 and shoddy
friends, who are anxious that he should
be reelected to the presidency, are already
beginning to claim capital for him on the•
ground of General Grant's probable suc
cess, and bsve issued a call for a meeting
at the Cooper Institute ill - opposition; to

confieriegoe of the want . of food.
TIM LAM WS NOTS!
The mot important intellirbee from
the Atmy of the Potomac is to .the effitot
that4m: amid= has succeeded in gett
ing in; the rear of Lee army with his
cavaliyi has destroyed a large train con
taining supplies, torn up the railroad track
for several miles, recaptured about four
hundred of our men who had been taken
'prisotiere the rebels, and driven off
Stuarps_eavalry, creating.the utmost con!
. sternation among the inhabitants. Four
thousand prisoners Nave bedn taken since
lastatecounts, and all :was going well.—
Thearmy is in the most exuberant spirits
and confidant of vietorin,
General. Sherznan hat.had three days'
heavy', akinnishing, in which all his corps
participated, and the rebels have been
driven back to Rock ridge and Buzzard
Roost Mountain, from which they are
fast being expelled. Everything is going
on well:
On the Red river three gunboats and
three transports have been destroyed by
the 'rebels. General Banks remains at
Alexandria, and is strong enough to
resist any force that can be !brought
alpine, him.
An expedition has left Vicksburg for
Yazoo city, where the rebels, under Lee,
Ross, and Adams, were ii strong force,
and an mugagement was hourly expected.
Forrest has passed southward from Tenn
essee, Gen. Sturges being unable to over
take him.
On the eth, the rebel ironclad North
Carolina came out of the harbor of Wil
mington, but was soon driven back. One
shot from her struck the gunboat Hotiqua
and passed through her smokestack. It
is expected that she will make another at
tempt upon the. fleet. •
Mity 11.—Friday's battle on the Rapi
dan has at length become plain. The fed
ernl line early in the morning was between
Chancellorsville and Locust Grove. Han
cock on the left held Chancellorsville and
faced south. Sedgwick on the right held
Locust Grove and-faced south west. The
federal troops made the attack in the
morning. General Hancock advanced on
the left, and drove the enemy southward.
General Lee massed all his available for.
ees to repel this, attack, and drove Han
cock back to his roithr ground at Chan
cellorsville. Lee then hurried his troops
to the westward to support that wing
against Sedgwick, who bad made an at
tack towards Mine Run. The attack was
repulsed, Sellgwie' k-Ariven back, and Gen.
Lee's •colmfr ;passed between hie right
and the Rapidan, capturing the approach
es to Germania Ford and cutting Gmeral
Grant's communication with Washington.
A letter to the Tribune distinctly states
that on Friday , night the federal troops
rested on their arms, with the left in its
old position, and the right considerably
contracted, while the enemy held the
roads to the ford.
It was thus when Saturday dawned,and
until almost noon the federal army rested
without giving battle. The communica
tion with Washington being cut ofl Gen:
Grant at once made efforts to open a new
line The trains ofambulances with woun
ded, which had . been sent from the battle
field toward the Rapidan Fords, were or
dered back. Sedgwick's baggage train,
which, when the enemy drove him boa,
had been ordered to the Rapidan, wao or
dered
to return, and it, with all the ara
phrenalia of the army, on Friday night
and Saturday, was sent eastward towards
Fredericksburg. Requests were sent to
Washington, reaching there in time to be ,
telegraphed north by Sunday morning
for construction trains, the couriers ma
king the best of their way by roundabout
roads The trains were sent to Aquia
Creek, and the construction of the railroad
towards Fredericksburg began.
About noon on Saturday, General Han
cock discovered the enemy in front of
him, retiring towards Spottsylvania about
saven miles distant. The federal cavalry
were sent after; but made no impression
on the enemy, who retreated in good or
der. There is nothing known of any re
treat of the confederates on the right.—
General Sedgwick's troops vete so com
pletely exhausted by their terrible contest
on Friday that they were unable to do
anYthing, and no attack was made against
the enemy then. Whether they retreated
from Kline Run er not is not knout.
Hancock followed his cavalry towards
S. ittsylvania. Warren went east to take
: cock's place, at Chancellorsville.—
.Bnraside marched eastward also, and the
whole of the country in front of Mine Run
and in th& vicinity of Locust Grove was
abandoned. Fredericksburg • was oecu
pied&nd the wounded sent there. There
is reported to have been 'fifteen thousand
of them, and they filled the streets so
thickly that &cavalry patrol could not do
duty. •

They night, when the battle on the
ItOidan ended, General Smoot* was at
Chancelloraville and faced south ; Gen.
Warren via a short distance east ofehan
trellortrville, , and General Sedgwick was
north Warren, and facing west. and
northwest. The Western flank of the en
emy were'between Sedgwick and the Ra
pidad. The federal army rested on a line
bent back, so as to form an acute angle,
the backs of Sedgwick's men being to
wards Hancock. General Warren being
at the extreme point of the angle, was
withdrawn eastward during the night, and.
on Saturday placed north of Hancock.—
Sedgwick was, also withdrawn eastward, 1
and ,plar,ed north of Warren. They thus
formed ' a long line behind Chancellors=
vile facing south, and those in the rear
facing west.
General Ewell, 'who had cut off the
federal right from the Rapidan, having
accomplished . Ais object, did not follow
Sedgwick , whin he was withdrawn, but
at .once started, across the country-vga
ted by Sedgwick and Warren toward
Spottsylvataa. Sedgwick's men were so
broken up that they could make no oppo
sition. Longstreet, m front of Chancel
lorsvillel alsowithdrew toward Spottsyl
venlig.. A new confederate line was form
ed on the Po, rionth of the town. The ad
venire was placed at the Ny, north of the
town. The eastern wing was extended
to the railroad running from Fredericks
burg to Richmond. (grant was fearful,as
the enemy extendeden much farther east
than he did, that they would attempt a
flank movement . , , that side. So he
swung his north an , south lines around to
the northeast. As 1 ~ , cock advanced to
follow the retreat to Spottsylvania, War
ren came up east of him, and Sedgwick
Ts
east of Warren. B ides troops were
distributed all abou The army turned
a complete somme alt, and this gyra
tion, started by the' emy pushing in be
tween the right and the Rapidan is the
only way to account for Grant's very pe•
culler marches.
`But Grant bad giv
l ap the idea of a
further advance. He as intent on open- 1
ing a communicati on
from Fredericksburg Fredericksburg
must be protected, not he could complete
the railroad. Thereforthe made a demon
stration against the en my. The enemy's
advance on the Ny river, was scarcely ten
miles from the tow a So on Sunday
Grant's line was foiled, but no attack
made. On Monday !tore was skirmish
ing, and the enemy's /avarice retired to
the Po, before the mat t body of the feder
al troops, which had came up. On Mon
day night the enemy- ittempted to out
flank Grant, but were epulsed. On Tues
day a duel began 7 -thi, time with artil
lery, one of the noisiert, but nocralways
the most effective, weapons. On Vresday,
at 5 o'clock, Grant is heard from, and
Stanton tells the result : " Both armies at
that time held their Positions at Spott
sylvania Court House, Without material
change." Not intending more than his
own protection, Grant had made no at
tack. He bad "skirmished heavily" and
captured " the first line of the enemy's ri
fle pits," hastily thrown up on Ny river,
to protect ;Rely. Felucca ...it then vicar.
doped, but that was
,all.
May 13.—There is very little change in
the state of affairs on the Rapidan. Prom
the army on the James river nothing bas
been heard.
The Richmond and Fredericksburg rail
road runs north and south between those
cities. Spottsylvania is ten miles west of
the railroad and twelve miles southwest
of Fredericksburg. The Po river passes
a short distance south of the town and
runs east south east, to the railroad. On
Monday the Confederates were stationed
on the Po with their eastern wing at
Spottsylvania. On Monday night the
Federal troops advanced and the Con
federates retired. The eastern wing of
the Federal army under Burnside captur
ed Spottsylvania. The western wing un
der Warren made a circuit, crossed the Po,
almost unopposed and at night rested on
the field to take the enemy in flank the
•
next day.
On Tuesday morning very little was
done. The western wmg was still march
ing and bad not met the enemy. At one
o'clock, however, the battle began. War
ren attacked the Conihderates 'from the
West, and drove them out oft line of
rifle pits, capturing twelve guns. '=As soon
as this attack began, Bernsidle, with the
eastern Federal fink, advanced from
Spottsylvania to attack the enemy on that
side. This was the plan of Tuesday's
battle and caused the report of turning
the enemy's flanks. Warren. came in con
tact with the enem'rreecond line on the
west and a bloody fight ensued. Lee hur

May 14.—The news from the army of'
the Potomac ,highly satisfactOry. In
the battle of 'Thursday Lee's army was
defeated at every point, and the old
" Stonewall" division was either captured
or annihilated,, with the loss of thousands
of prisoners, and about forty pins. 'The
fighting was very severe, but the result
wasbeyond doubt a complete victory.— •
Hill attempted, after his disaster, to flank
Burnside, but was repulsed by him and ,
Warren. The latest advieesani that Lee's
army was in ffill retreat yesterday, with
part of it beyond the I-o. Gen. Meade
was pressing vigorously upon and engag-
I
ing his rear guard.' Gen. Sheridan has I
succeeeded in destroying both the Fred
ericksburg and Virginia• Central Railroads
for miles, and — Sigel's cavalry in meving
down the valley have tapped thP Virginia
Central Railroad near Charl caville.—
, Reinforcements were being sent forward
to Meado,,it is understood, to the number
of twentyAve_thonsand, and it is believed
that he is alimost as strong now as when
he first moved upon the Wilderness.—
Gen. Grant, in an official dispatch, states
that the army has lost no organization,
while the enemy have lost one division,
one brigade, and ono entire regiment.
The Petersburg Express of the 11th
announces the highly important intelli
gence that General Lee is its Richmond
and wounded. In view of this fact the
defeate of his entire army is but a ques
tion of short time,for he has no lieutenants
capable of maneuvering his men as skill
fully as can himself.
May. teth.—So far as is known, there
has been no engagement with the enemy
in Virginia since Thursday. Gen. Grant
pushed Lee's army vigorously on Friday,
and, had the latter wades stand, a battle
would doubtless have ensued. From the
fact that no firing has been heard from
the supposed vicinity of Lee, it is inferred
that he has retreated to, and possibly be
yond, the North Anna. The wounded
in the late eight days' movements and en
gagements in Virginia amountsto twenty
seven hundred. General Meade has issu
ed a congratulatory address to his army,
reminding that although for eight days
and nights they have been fighting a
desperate foe, in naturally strong positions
compelling him to abandon his defenses
on.the Rapidan and even his last intrenoh
ed position, with a loss of eighteen guns
and eight thousand prisoners, yet that
their work is not over—that the enemy
must be• pursue.d. and overcome. Reinforce
ments for the army have been going rap
idly forward, and it is believed that the
losses will be more than made up by these
means.
-General Butler was, at last , accounts,
investing Fort Darling. Gen. Gilmore
made a flank movement on the right of
the enemy's works on Friday and carried
them . without loss. The rebels were driv
en from their first line by General Smith
in the morning. They _subsequently fell
back into their redoubts and an assault
was to have been made on Saturday.
Richmond papers announce the death
of General J. E. B. Stuart, the famous
chief of cavalry in Lee's army ; also that
General Averill has burned the bridge on
the Virginia and East Tennessee road at
New river, and destroyed the rebel depot
with all its supplies at Dublin station.—
Also that the Central Railroad has been
destroyed by Union troops at Bever darn,
Hanover county.
General Sheridan, commanding the
cavalry of the Army of the Potomac, has
arrived on the Peninsula after a most
successful raid between Lee's army and
Richmond. He entered within the
second line ()fa() rebel defences of that
city, but did not assault them, as they
were toostrong. He succeeded in cutting
all the lines of railroad communicating
with Lee, and destroyed large depots of
rebel stores. His losses were compara
tively small. The choice of Gen. Sherid
an for this raid was a wise one, for he
some years ago, while acting as Civil en
gineer, surveyed alarge portion of Virginia
over which he has just raided.
General Sherman has met with brilliant
success in his movement against Johnson,
in Georgia. He flanked the rebel army,
got in their rear, and captured five thous
and prisoners and twelve pieces of artill
ery. The rebels have retreated on Resaca
and Rome;
General Schofield engaged the enemy
near B'ur's gap, in East 'rennessee,,oh the
4th, and defeated hltn, driving him into
North Carolina.
Admiral Porter is engaged in damming
the Red river at Alexandrm, so as to force
a rise in that stream in order that be may
float hisgunboats from their perilous
position above. , Gen. A. J. Smith was
preparing to return with his troops to
Vicksburg, and Gen. McClernand was pre
paring, at New Orleans, tnreinforce Gen.
Hanks. The Union losses in the battle of
Pleasant bill, Louisiana, is stated officially
at six hundred and seventy killed, thir
teen hundred and forty wounded, and
sixteen hundred. missing and prisoners.
—A Cincinnati dispatch announces that
Johnston,retired from Dalton, Ga. on the.
lth c and that: General Sherman was in
possession of that point.
—The government has made a requisi
tion on the governor of Maryland for the
immediate services of two thousand min- ,

PER CENT. INTEREST WILLEE PAID IN GQIN, on
Bonds of not over hundred dollar annually and on all
other Bonds semi-annually. The interest is payable on
the first days of March and September in each year.
Subteribers will receive either Registered or Coupon
Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered Bonds are re

transferred only on the owner's order. Coupon Bonds
are payable to bearer, and are more convenient for corn

It is believed that no securities offer so great induce.
ments to lenders as the various descriptions of U. S.
Sends. in all other forms of Indebtedness, the faith or

the interest.
It may be tiseibl to state in this connection that the
total Funded Debt of the United States on which inter

It will beacon that even the present gold revenues of
the Government are largely in excess ofthe wants of the
Treasurer for the paymentof gold Interest, while the
recent increase of the tariff will doubtless raise the
annual receipts from customs ou the same amount of

19EMANUFACTURE' OF WOOLEN GOODS, both
n the household and the factories, him become of
great importance on account of its forming at present
our principal article of clothiag. The nature of our cli
mate makes it necessary, and the scarcity of Cottonbas
greatly increased the value of wool and fabrics made
gram it; and being engaged in-thebustnese Wreaking
Cloth and Flannel, and also Roll Carding. and Cloth

At to ourse lves.
The first process with the fanner ,who intends to make
his wool into rolls for spinning and weaving at home,
after washing and shearingo is assorting the (realities.
lilts we do not expect a homer to do as perfectly as a
regular manufacturer. but by trying he will approximate
towarde it, and be amply paid fig the little pains re
quired, by having an oven tinted and smoother fabric.
The fleeces should be whole and should be spread out
on a table—the coarsest wool will be found on
the skirts of the fleece, and can easily bo distinguished
by looking clotely to the fibre. Two qualitiesfrom each
fleece will perhaps be close enough for ordinary purpos
es, but as the sheep in' our country differ Pawn in Weir
grades of wool-the coarse part of one May do to go
with' the liner part of another: and thus make three or
tour qualities out of the lot. , If it is going to the mania-
factory or to market, the fleece ohoWd not be torn, but
after removing -the tag-locks.should. be roUed up com
pactly,,hkin Bide out. Not less than ono petind of lard,
fresh, butter or ell should beseat with every ten pounds
of wool going to the carding =Chine. •
The next thing of imPortance is of course to buten
carded, for'whieh we will be entirely respoisible in
the matter of !Tinning end weaving, we have another
caution to add. Unless the Writs evenly twisted, miff
