"On to Richmond."
The news from the Army of the Potomac
continues to be cheering and glorious, and for
the first time since our troops marched from
their entrenchments at Washington city,
almost three years since, for the capture of
Richmond, does hope actuate the American
people with the certainty of the fall of the
rebel capital. In the conflicts which are now
raging, our troops are performing prodigies of
valor, and fight like men determined to finish
the war in the campaign in which they are
now engaged. Certainly, the rebel power, in
men and resources, is concentrated in front of
Grant, and however the Richmond papers
may prate of Lee being able to divide his
forces, a portion to remain in their entrench
ments to hold Grant in check, while the rebel
chief falls on Butler and crushes him, and
then to return, reinforced by Beauregard, to
overwhelm Grant, it is evident that the rebels
are now fighting at a disadvantage, and that
their hopes of victory are daily growing less
bright. Butler holds an impregnable position.
Lee has more than he can do to resist the
pressing advances of Grant, while the disposi
tion of our other forces is now such as to ren
der not only the safety of Richmond very
precarious, but absolutely to place the entire
rebel army in a position to be either entirely
destroyed or easily captured when the final of
Grant's plans are reached. Will that result
end the rebellion? Who can answer?
The reports concerning the operations of
General Hancock, given in our extra at ten
o'clock this morning, are of the highest im
portance. It is not possible that the blow in
flicted on Johnson can be repaired, and we
therefore accept the result won by Hancock's
gallantry as reaching the very heart of the
rebel army of Virginia. The loss of forty
guns is of more importance than the capture
of five thousand prisoners, and the result will
Jet prove that the rebels gave up all hope of
successfully defending their capital after
Johnson was defeated by Hancock.
There is a rumor that General Lee had sur
rendered, which we must receive with every
allowance for the fighting qualities of the
rebels. It is very certain, as we have already
noted in the preceding paragraph, that the
defeat of Johnson by General Hancock was a
most fatal blow to Lee's army. That defeat
destroyed all the stragetic plans of Lee, while
with Grant pressing his main army so closely,
it left him no time or opportunity to form new
ones. Our dispatch of the surrender of Lee
is confirmed, as we learn, by many other dis-
Pitches passing over the wires to New York.
The Iron Entering the Soule of Secret
Tpiiitors.
When we referred to the death of the gal
lant Woodward, we did so, as our readers
very well know, to add to the mead of praise
to the valiant dead, and not to steal the lau
rels of a hero to cover the brows of an enemy
of his country. We did not expect that our
reference would please the defeated tories who
preach Democracy that they may the better
assail their country; nor was our notice an ef
fort to flatter the living who had no share
either in the patriotism or the glory of the
departed. The blood which young Wood
ward shed in defence of his country, now ap
peals to Heaven for vengeance on the foul
wretches who gather around his tomb, and with
hypocritical tears like those shed by the Tory
Organ, affect to mourn the loss of a hero when
they bitterly curse the cause in which he
perished. In the effulgence of the fame of
such a man as Col. Woodward, those who op
posed the war, who defended the constitu
tional rights of the South, who spoke of seces
sion as one of the sovereign rights of the
States, and who were willing to let the slave
States go in peace—we repeat, that those who
bemeaned themselves in this manner, deserve
no sympathy at the hands of their country
men, because they happen to have sons
who were more patriotic than themselves.
The hour has come to let the silent traitor
understand the estimation in which he is held
by his countrymen. The crisis is upon is,
when it is fitting to speak boldly of the ene
mies of the country, regardless of the station
they occupy, without consideration of their
assumed dignity or their professed purity.
Nothing will save such men from the just
scorn of the people, and far better would it
be for some of these, if they could fill the
same graves with their gallant kindred. Far
better would it be for them, in this the hour
of our victory, if the mountains and the
rocks of their native land covered them from
the sight and the indignation of our victorious
exudes. Every gaping wound received in
this war, will send forth a voice of denuncia
tion to such men as George . W. Woodward
and his followers. Every soldier's grave will
be a testimonial against the copperhead trai-
tors of the land; and when our heroes return
from their hard fought battle fields, it gill not
be to mingle their tears with the political
hypocrites who affect to make sacrifices in the
service of their country, but to join their curses
to send such as these in scorn from the laud
which they have disgraced.
Brig. Gen. Joshua B. Owen
Among the many gallant men' who have
perished during the struggle to put clown the
Democratic slave-holders' rebellion, and
among those to whose eyes the light of earth
was forever shut out on the sanguinary
fields which Grant is now rendering immortal
to fame and glorious in their benefits to his
country, the death of none will cause a ten
derer• feeling of regret among those who
knew him, or a holier sentiment of sorrow
among his companions in arms, than that of
Brig. Gen. Joshua B. Owen. He fell near
Spottsylvania at the head of his brigade; and
as he breathed his last the life of as true a
man was cut off, as ever lived and won friends
on earth.
Gen. Owen was born in the South. The
writer of this article has often heard him re
fer, in glowing terms, to his native home,
confessing how dearly ho loved the South,
and claiming for it blessings and advantages
which, in his opinion, he has graphically de
clared, convinced him "that it was one of the
favored lands of the Lord." But mark his true
devotion and upright patriotism. When the
people of that land favored by the Lord con
spired for the destruction of principles still
more favored of God; when the leaders of the
Democratic party (of which he was a true
member) attempted to break up the Govern
ment and dissever the Union, to satisfy the
plans of the aristocracies of the South—
Joshua B. Owen proclaimed the whole
country as his home—threw off the yoke Of
party—trampled upon the stuff called modern
Democracy, and at once arrayed himself on
the side of his Government, where he fought
since the beginning of the war, until he fell
in glory and in blood at Spottsylvania. There
was a Democrat worthy of Democratic praise!
but alas, the Democracy such as animated the
heart and nerved the arm of Joshua T.
Owen, finds no favor with those who minister
at the 'altars of the party which now claims
this title. He hated slavery and treason too
much to be a favorite with the leaders of the
copperhead Democracy. He was too brave,
too generous, too patriotic to be in unison
with those who emulate the mealiest quality
of the traitor, that of secretly assailing the
country.
—The fame of such Democrats and soldiers
as Joshua B. Owen will live and be bright
when the Democracy which is now professed
by the enemies of the Government, is forgot..

Distances of Localities from Richmond
City Point is distant from Richmond east
of south about fifteen miles; Fort Darling due
south ten miles; Petersburg in the same di
rection, twenty miles; Bermuda Hundred,
south-east, fifteen miles; Spottsylvania is west
of north from the Rebel capital about forty
miles. These are air line distances, which
would be increased by roads about fifteen per
cent. From the point at which General SIGEL
will leave the Luray Valley to Richmond is
about seventy miles.
TEE Toss Osumi is annoyed at the success
of our special dispatches from Washington,
and wimts to know "Who's Graffen?" That
the slow turtles of that concern may not ex
pire with solicitude concerning our special,
we condescendingly offer them, as informa
tion, the fact that Mr. Charles H. Graffen is
an able newspaper writer, well known in Phil
adelphia, and one of the most industrious and
intelligent correspondents in the country. His
special dispatches to the TELF.GLAPIC are of the
most reliable character, alike valuable for the
early information which they contain, and the
precision with which they refer to all matters
connected with the army. But it is not
"Graffen" so much that disturbs the turtles,
as it is the fact that we have been able to af
ford the people of Harrisburg the earliest in
telligence from the army; with the fact, too,
that this intellegence indicates the downfall
of the slaveholders' rebellion, beneath the
ruins of which copperhead Democracy will
find a disgraceful tomb. And yet the Tory
Organ should not quibble at our success in
this . particular, as no one expects to read in
the columns of that sheet other matter than
that of abuse of the fighting men and their
' Government. And in this expectation those
who read the Tory Organ are never disap
pointed.
THE OTATELMAN OF THE STATE CENTRAL COM
MITTEE, as appointed at the late Union Con
vention, continues to elicit the approval and
congratulation of the conductors of the news
papers who do the hard work of :all ,political
campaigns ; because the defence ttnd advo
cacy of principles are the every day labors
of the organs of our party. But we find it
impossible, with the strain upon our columns
by the news from the army, to make room for
ail these expressions, and yet it is only right
to all concerned, that an occasional article
should be printed, if only to show the tem
per of the loyal press and the standing of
Simon Cameron with the people of Pennsyl
vania. The following, from the Indiana
,Weekly Democrat, is in place on the subject:
CHAIR - ALAN OF THE " UNION STATE CENTRAL
COMLETTEE. —We congratulate the loyal peo
ple of Pennsylvania upon the selection of
Hon. Simon Cameron, as Chairman of the
Union State Central Committee. This is a
most excellent and wise selection. General
Cameron's well-known energy and ability will
inspire the friends of the Union with confi
dence that the ensuing political campaign
will be vigorously conducted, and dishearten
the sympathizers with treason throughout the
State. He is a warm friend of President
Lincoln; and between these two gentlemen
there is a most perfect accord on all the im
portant questions involved in the war—and
this, notwithstanding the removal of Mr. Cam
eron from the honor and duties of Secretary
of War, in order to silence a dangerous clamor
against his policy, then but little understood,
but which has since been adopted and tb a
great extent carried ont, with success' to the
Union cause.

prisoners.
Gen. Seth Williams was next introduced to
Gen. Johnson. The meeting between these

Oci , d dispatches have just been received
by this department, dated yesterday at 8
o'clock, A. m., at the battle-field, near Spott
sylvania Court House.
They state that Gen. Hancock marched
from his previous position on our right and
occupied the ground between Wright and
Burnside.
At daylight he attacked with his accustomed
impetuosity, forcing the first and then the
second line.of the enemy's works, capturing
the whole of Edward Johnson's division and
a part of Early's, together with Maj. Gen.
Johnson, (Edward Johnson,) Brig. Gen.
Johnson, Gen. Stewart and from thirty to
forty cannons.
The number of .prisoners is not given, but
it is to be countedhy thousands.
Burnside on the extreme left opened at the
same time with Hancopk, and advanced with
comparatively little opposition. His right
formed a junction with Hancock, and his left
is now engaged.
Gen. Wright's troops attacked at 7.15, and
are now at work.
Gen. Warren is demonstrating to hold the
enemy in front of his lines. The rebel works
at that point are exceedingly strong.
A dispatch has been received from General
Butler; dated in the field near Chester Station;
Va., May 12, 3.30 P. 31. It states that he is
now pressing the enemy near Fort Darling,
and has before him all the troops from North
and South Carolina that have got up.
Beauregard's courier was captured this
morning going to General Hope, in command
of Drury's Bluff, (Fort Darling.) He had a
dispatch stating that Beanregard would join
him as soon as the troops are up.
Gilmore holds the entrenchments, while
Smith demonstrates upon Drury and the ene

Gen. Kautz with his cavalry has been sent
to cut the - Danville railroad, near Appomattox
Station, and can perhaps advance on the James
river.
