paii g Etiqq4 THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT, ABRAHAM LINCOLN. FOR THE AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION GRANTING THE SOLDIERS' •RIGHT TO VOTE. HAREISBIIIIG, .1"A THURSDAY EVENING, NAY S6 l 1864 Cheering War Intelligence. Our reports from the Army of the Potomac, and the intelligence we have from Richmond, indicate that Gen. Grant is succeeding beyond the greatest anticipations of his countrymen, and that the rebels begin to admit that there: is such a result possible as the , complete con quest of the South. Gen. Lee either lacks the force to contend With Gen. Grant's, or he has lost confidence in himself and his army. The rebel chief seems to be most earnestly en gaged in hunting positions from which safely to contend with the *gaily advancing le gions of the Army of the Potomac. Lee is emphatically the brute at bay. He is being hunted down, steadily, sternly and surely, and now flies, aolmowledging in his flight, his defeat, to seek safety and starvation in his entrenchments about Richmond, or utter rout and dispersion beyond the traitor's rest A month from this and Lee is likely to be with out any arm;. Every man he now loses, makes :a gap in his ranks, to close up which there is no material in reserve. Conscription has depleted the South. Death, • starvation and slaughter have: depopulated the slave States; so that, with the extermination of the rebel forces in field (a result which will undoubtedly become an absolute necessity) the South will.be composed of cripples, con grpgations of widows and orphans, and gangs of idle, unclaimed negroes. What a penalty for treason! In connection with the retreat of Lee, the intelligence that_ Davis and his counsellors are seeking safety in flight„ needs no confirmation. The conjunction 'corrobo rates the truth of this statement. The nearer Lee approaches Richmond, the farther - Off will Davis and his associates in crime, desire to be—simply because there is no safety for the civil branch of the rebel Government within sound or sight of Grant's aimies. We can safely report that the re-establish ment of the civil power of the National Govern ment has not teen, sine rebels boasted of invading the North, so certain and so near be ing realized as it is at present. For the first time in three years, the government may be re garded as entirely safe--as secure beyond the pos sibility of being impaired by the slace-dkving conspirators. The Copperheads in the f!ee State 4 can do that goverrithent a greater injury than the armed traiters in the South. And while the rebels are in condition to render them incapable of further great harm to the Government, the sooner will the Copperheads in the loyal States be frustrated in their designs. It will, of course, . requ're some bloody. fighting utterly to destroy the rebel armies. Amajority of those who lead and those who compose those forces, will henceforth • fight for what they regard as honorable names—for glorious death. It is our truest. policy of safety to let such as these have both ; because with the entombing of, the rebel army, we also sepulchre their sources of coinfoit and' encouragement—Copperhead Democracy.— And with the riddance of these fell influences, peace, prosperity,'. union and liberty will once more be insured to the American people. Let' us rejoice, then; that the indications tend to these results. But let us not abate our efforts to recruit the armies, strengthen the govern ment in its struggles, and in every possible shape, contribute to the . extermination of traitors in the North and the South! 4)IFE OF THE GREAT cALotuamolis of cop perhead success in the coming political cam paigns, was based on the hope that Lee would defeat and destroy the Army of the Potomac —that he would gobble up , Ben. Butler and cage him in Richmond—that he would tram ple Hancock into the sacred soil, and accom plish other vast results in keeping with the ideas of the copperhead:leaders. With their banners adorned ley the victories of Lee, the copperhead leaders anticipated a short and victorious, campaign for the Presidency; and in return for the aid which the rebels rendered in assisting the Democracy to elect a presi dent, the Confederacy - would be recognized. But all these calculations have been spoiled. The victorious advance of Gen. Grant has left the copperheads without a platform. , Still these prolific rascals are determined not to be outdone. They are using the victories of Grantto prove that the Government is conducted tyrannically; and every time a traitor is arrested in the North or struck down in the South, the copperheads join in the cry that there must be a united e f fort to resist the oppression of the "Lin coln dynasty," or Ithe t‘ country will go to the devil. " Thus these sneaking hypocrites cal culate to make political capital, as . well from the defeat as from the success of our ,armies. Tics PROPOSITION that the Demociaby in Congress from New 'Sr*, should retire froiri that body, is a good one, and we hope'it will be suggested for the consideration of ' the, same partizans from all the States in the same body. There is not a copperhead Dem ocrat now in Congress who represents' the clear wishes of the party to which hi) belongs, as a majority of the masses who econ:p . ese the. Democratic party are in favor of sustaining the . Government and crushing rebellion by the, force of arms, while only certain of the leaders syni_ pathize Withtraitors. But unfortunately for the par ty and the country, these leaders conli'ol those Representatives. FOR INSTANCE, A VERY .

While he remains us Cm** ?t }8 : certain that he will continue thus to disgrace the district. Were he to resign, there might be at least a chance for the honest Democracy to elect a man and a patriot in his place.-- And what holds good in Miller's case, applies to every copperhead Democrat in. Congress. Hence, the retirement of all such foes of•the country, would give,, satiSfaction to all the friends thereof, as welliamong the Democracy, as among the Republicans of the land. Won't some ardent copperhead recommend Miller to come.home and stay here? A Matter Demanding Attention. The North.

Some of the men even went half way across, and one was seen with a rebel flag, who was compelled to throw it into the river to prevent its recapture. The highest praise was given to the dig ision and its generals by General Hancock for the gallant manner in which they stormed and carried this strong yosition: The eontsst continued until after dark,each party mantaining its own line. Our loss in this action was about 2501:ti11ed and wounded, The loss of the enemy was fully as heavy as ours, and we took a number of prisoners. About 5 P. M. General Warren effected a crossing, and, taking a pOsition on the south bank, threw up some breastworks. Soon af terwards he was attacked by a large force of rebels, whom he drove back with heavy loss —men dead and wounded lying thick on the ground in front of, our lines after they re treated. Our loss here was about 300 killed and wounded. About dark Gene,ral Burnside's corps came up and took position between Hancock and Warren, and macre preparations to cross, while the Sixth corps took the right of the Fifth. Everybody, felt in good spirts, and confident of a victory on the coming day. Kix 24.—The army advanced at an early hour this morning, but the enemy was found to have fallen back,during the night, and his skirmish line wair,captured after firing the first round. It was suspected that this might be intended as a ruse, and great caution was exercised.. As the troops advanced, skirmish ing took place at several points, but the Se cond corps had met no force of the enemy up to 2P. M. at which time your corespondent left the, front: 'Genitimf Wittren advanced some two or three miles, the enemy in his front seeming deter mined to dispute his advance, although grad ually falling back. . Mar 25, 8 e. messenger who left the front at six o'clock this afternoon reports the enepay crossing the South Anna, with. our troops in close pursuit. Over 600 prisoners have been brought, in since yesterday, and more are hourly arriving. Firing was heart this morning in the direc tion of Port Royal, supposed to be from a rebel battery, which is represented to have been placed at a' point twelve miles heresy Fredericksburg. `rwo gunboats went down the river, last night, and it is thought tney ma.Y have been attacked in the hope of sink ing them. An orderly of General Lee's army was brought to headquarters to-day, on whom were found despatches te General Ewell from Lee, ordering him to fall back to the defences of Richmond. A lieutenant taken only two dairs ago said his brigade had been at Ply mouth and Drtiry's Bluff, and afterfight ing Butler, was sent at once to join Lee's army in front of Grant. The Colonel made them a speech on Saturday evening as soon as they arrived, telling them that they must reach Richmond on Monday morning by ten o'clock, or the (1- 7 4,. Yankees would be there before them.• ' • This afternoon a detachment from the cav alry expedition under Sheridan arrived at headquarters, announcing the safe return of the command across the Pamunkey last night, and they would arrive to-night. Greneral'Custer's division cut the railroad twelve miles below Hanover Junction on the 21st, burning.two bridges and tearing up a mile of railroad. He encountered a body of rebel cavalry • behind barricades, but could not induce them to come out and attack him. The party had to, build a bridge across the Pamunkey at White House, which they did in twenty-four hours, over which the entire command passed in safety. The horses of the,expedition' are pretty well exhausted, but a fevi days'-rest and feed on the fine clover to be found in this felinity will put them in con dition for service. 'Generals Sheridan, Gregg and Custer are entitled to great praise for the manner in which the expedition has been conducted. AddotliiTl34lloii ;THE REBXE, PAPERS The.

At _Millersburg; Dauphin county, Pa., May 11th, 1864, of Pulmonary Consumption, VIRY, daughter. of Francis and Mary Wenrich, aged 20 years. It may be deempil superfluous by those who knew the deceased, to any anything in praise of her many charming virtues. She was amiable in her-disposition, studious in her habits and consistent in her life and a dutiful child. At an early age she became the subject of religious im pressions, and subsequently sought and obtained an inter est in the atonement of her Savior, and connected herself with the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she con tinued a consistent member up to the time of her death. Her illness was protracted and despondingly painful, yet her faith in Christ grow stronger as she-neared the portals of eternity. Death was; to her, disarmed of his wonted terrors, and the grave could "boast no victory." Her last words were "I see Jesus," andwithout a murmur or a struggle, "calm and serene she—did not die—but sweetly fell asleep in 'Christ, her only hope and conso lation. On the 19th her remains were interred in the "Oak Hill" Cemetery, followed by a large concourse of people, whose sad countenances and tearful eyes betokened their appreciation of deceased, and their 'sympathyfor the be purred family. "Let mo die the death of the...righteous, and let my last end be like unto hers." ". B. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Positively Selling drat Cost to Change Business.
