Almost a Murder bt an Insakc Wo.
An insane woman named Northrop, re
siding in Franklin twp., attacked and nearly
murdered Mrs. Weston, (wife 'of the late

that Mrs. W. and the deranged woman met
or the road, when the latter said that she
was then going to kill John, (Mrs. W.'s
son.) and as Mrs. Weston turned to leave
her, was struck a blow on the head with a
club which felled her to the ground. She
was then beaten and pounded by the crazy
woman, until It is supposed she wss left for
dead. When Mrs. Weston was discovered,
she was completely covered with blood,
and had several cots about the head. At
last accounts she wss.slowsly recovering.

The Lossfi in Virginia. .
Whatever may.be the result of the cam
paign in Virginia, it is certain that Lienten- i
ant General Grant's peculiar tactics will in
s uts-the greatest possible sacrifice of life.
He evidently relies less' upon strategic com- ,
binations than hard fighting." It was by this
mode that he. won' Fort Doneleon,' which
first made him prominent. Then, . with a
largely superior force, his attacks were re
peated, un'il the Confederates, from pdre
exhaustion, surrendered. The 'army that
be is now fighting, however, are veteran
soldiers, with power of resistance and en
durance equal to hir dwri ; and may it not
be possible that be will exhaust the strength 1
and destroy the morale oi bis troops' by con
tinuous assaults against fortified positions
which might be won by strategy.
The series of battle fought during the
past week were among the most sanguinary
of the war.; and it is not an unreasonable
estimate to place his losses already at forty
thousand men. Indeed, it probably exceeds
that amount. The mortality In musketry
battles s far greater than when artillery is
used. In a conflict of this character the
usual estimated loss is one pefv centum
killed, lo three arid a half or four per cen
turn wounded. It will be remembered that
the great battles of Thursday and Friday in
tbe wilderness were fought at masketry
range, and but little artillery used. 'The
number Of Federals wouuded in those 11 en
gagements, is said to have been fifteen
thonsand. The loss in' killed, therefore,
would reach nearly four thoosand. -The
conflicts that have followed seem 'to be 'less
bloody. The very heavy loss of general
officers indicates desperate' fighting. Up to
this time the Federals have lost Generals
Sedgwick, Wads worth, Owens. Rice, Rob
inson, and Stevenson, killed ; Webb, Bart
leu, GettyMorris, and Baxter, wouided,
a d Tatbott, Neil, Sbaler, and Seymour,
prisoners . ATew 'York Daily News.
'Lt. Col.'Opp, of the 84th P. V., was
killed in the late fight near Spotsylvania
Court House. His body was brought home,
at Money, a fw days since, for interment.
He was 'commanding this veteran ' Regi
ment, in the absence of Colonel Bowman,
who has been on detached service for some
time. !Col Op? wss one of the first 'mem
bers of this'Regiment, an excelleut soldier,
and a man in every respect. He leaves a
young wife and small family, besides many
connections fend friends, to mourn his loss.
He is one tfmong the many valuable young
Democrats who have laid down their -lives
in this accursed rebellion.
The Republican of last week treated its
readers with news of a rooM cheering char
acter the taking oi Richmond by Ben But
ler and the demolishing of Fort Darling.
Now, the fact is, neisher place has yet been
taken by our arms, and before that is ac
complished we may look for more hard
fighting. Bat the Republican will net 'in
form -its readers Of the incorrectness of tbe
war news as published last week. This is
the second time the RepuNican' bad Rich
mond taken. Many of ita readera in the
country will not be the wiser unless they
read some Democratic paper. They will
soon begin to think that tbe Rebels bare a
good many Richmond.
The Republican last week had something
to say about "copperhead," "traitors at
heart," fcc. Now Thomas Dunn has never
proved his IcijnVy except to women ! He
is a bright specimen to be calling bis neigh
bors slanderous names, accusing them of
sympathizing with the men who are trying
to destroy the Government. This U yet
a question with the people, who those men
are that are destroying tbe government,
tv be in r they are Lincoln and party or JnV
Davis. So far Likcolk, the "Government, has
not brought one single State back into the
Union, but Jias, through bis proclamations,
driven several out. The rebellion, io his
hands, has grown at a fearful rate! If he
is trying to restore the Union as it was, on
der the Constitution as it ie, he bad better
adept vome d ifferent policy; especially, af
ter having prosecuted the war over three
years, killing so many men and piling op
such a huge debt, without any good results.

LATE WAR NEWS.
- 'rROM MOKDAT AND TO E6DAT 8 TAPERS.
The Confederates in fronl cf Grn. Grant
have taken np a new line of defence just
moth ot the Po, and twenty miles from the
NortlTAnna. "On Friday there was uo fisht
ing. ' Gen. 'Butler has advanced to Fort
Darling and begun a siege, and Gen. Sher
idan has joined him.
The battle at Spottsylvania which was
fought on Thursday last is now fully explain
ed. "The Confederate eastefn flank rested
on Spottsylvania ;'the western flank on the
Po,' which at that p'oint runs a short distance
south, ' afterwards carving around in the
rear of the town. Burnside waa on the
Federal ' eastern 'flank; Wright, west Of
Burnside, and "Warren west of Wright.
Generaf Hancock, who had been in reserve,
matched forward'- josr belore daylight be
tween Burnsid and Wright,, and surprised
tbe enemy's eastern flank. lathe Confed
erale'woTks a little creek ran between this
esstern'-flank and tbe rest of their position,
making a low gap. Hancock surprised the
Confederate troops who held a sort of
mound in 'front of this creek, and it proved
an easy "erf plu re. Thirty cannon were
taken, with between three and four thou
sand prisoners. ?Tbis 'opened Thursday'a
battle 1 "HancoCk ' succeeded in securing
eighteen of tbe cannon and sending them to
the refer. ' Before he couM secure i tie others
however, the enemy made a strenuous at
tack to regain their lest ground. The can
non lay in the tow gap where the creek ran,
on ground alternately in tbe possession of the
two armies. To assist Hancock, 'General
Bornside, on the extreme left, was sent into
action, and Warren, on the right, opened a J
heavy cannonade, bornstde was repulsed
with heavy losses, and does not appear to
have gained any ground, or been engaged
after ten or -.eleven . o'clock. . Wright was
then eert to Hancock's assistance, and the
contest raged around the twelve cannon.
The Confederates however, succeeded in
recaptaring all of rheta. In front ot Warren
on the western flank an artillery duel was
kept up for some time when Warren or
dered a charge. His corps advanced, and for
a moment,' captofed the erremy's 'works, bet
the Confederates receiving reinforcements,
Warren was ultimately outflanked and
compelled to move his line eastward until
he was close to the position vacated by
Wright and : Hancock on their advance
When the sun set the'Federal line was not
more than two miles long, a considerable
contraction being caused on the west, by
the attack on Warren. At nine o'clock tbe
tontest closed, Hancock holding possession
of the mound be bad taken but the Confed
era'.es stilaH-etaining the, remainder of their
works. About midnight the Confederates
began to eannonada upon Hancock's troops
which wss replied to. The -picket lines
were strengthened and an attack feared. At
three o'clock however the cannonade ceas
ed. The Dumber oi guns captured and re
tained by Hancock was eighteen, nil of
them bearing li.e mark of the United
States. - .
'Spottsylvania like many Virginia towns,
is but a very small village at the junction
of three or lour roads. The battle ought on
Tuesday tedk place a mile north of the town.
A mile and a hall east oi the town 'is a.
bouse called thn Block Hons. Two paral
lei roads, one from the Block House aud
one from Spottsylvaoia, run south south
west across the Po. The bridges where
they croos that stream are about three miles
from the battle-field. About seven O'clock,
on Frida) morninA, the pickers reported
that the Cer.fede rates 1iad retreated. The)
withdrew carrying their baage and nearly
all their wounded with them, along these
two 'roads. General Hancock was ordered
to fellow and found lhem just beyond the
Po, entrenched in a new position on iu
southern bauk. Thair retreat ha.l bean in
all about lour miles. The Federal army
was then moved up to Spottsylvania Cocrt
House, and tbat -place was made Grant's
headquarters. Hancock with the advance
was on tne river s eue. uwing io me
heavy rains of Wednesday niahtai d TV rs
day, the roads were very heavy, and ttieie
movements were made 'with difficulty.
Secretary Stanton telegraphs that on Friday
there was no fighting.
Our latent intelligence from Spottiyl vania
is to half-past eix on "Saturday morn in 5.
Up to that time there had been ne fighting,
and it waa the in;ention of General Grant to
send a flanking party east of General Lee's
position. to attempt to cut him off from his
base of supplies. Whether this happened
or not it is not 1tn6wn. No firing was beard
at Fredericksburg on Saturday, and it is
presumed there wa no content. The wind
being rery strong from the north-east on
Saturday, however, blowing directly from
Fredricksburg fo tho field, there mitithavo
been a contest without the artillery b Ving
heard. General Lee at la?t accounts present
ed a strong Iront, and showed a determina
tion to hold bis new position on the I'o.
The roads we're etill heavy, as rain fell in
torrents on Friday, and this may have pre
vented an attack by Grant.
Reinforcements, variously estimated at
from twelve to twentr-five thousand have
been sent to General Grant, and about
fourteen thousaud wounded have already
arrived in Washington. Eight thousand
prisoners have been captured from the
enemy since these battles began. The line
of bat.le lorraeJ by the enemy on Thursday
was six miles sooth of Chancellorsville, and
nine mile south of the Rappahannock at
United Slates Ford. Their new line is thir
teen miles from the Rappahannock. From
Spottsy vania to Hanover Junction is twenty
tour miles and lo the North Anna is twenty
one miles. From Spottsylvania to ISch
mond is forty-seven miles. South ol the
Po and between it aud the North Anna,
there are various streams all about the size
of the Po and running through a similar
country. First cornea the Ta; then the
Mat; then the East Northeast creek ; then
Polecat river ; then :he North Anna ; then
Little River : Newfound river and the South
Anna. The'two armiea now confront each
other on the Po, that river running between
them.
General Sheridan's cavalry raid began on
last Monday. He passed to the east of the
Confederato position at Spottsylvania, and
then eoutti to ibe North Anna river. At
Beaver Dam, ten mile west of Hanover
Junction, he cut the Virginia Central Rail
road, destroying a large quantity of provis
ions and several trains ol cars ; besides re
leasing three hnodred and seventy-eight
Federal prisoners. . He crossed the railroad
and went. to the South Anna ; then turnicg
east he Went to Hanover Junction, again
catting the railroad and destroying provis
ions; He then marched South towards
Richmond, having aeveral contests with
the enemy. He crossed to the eodth side
of the Coickahomiuy,fdund the Confederate
works surrounding Richmond very strong,
penetrated to within eix miles of the town,
nd then re-crossed the Chickahominy to
Mechanicsville. Here hd had another se
vere confest, and marched down the Chick
ahominy to Bottom's bridge, crossed ovf r,
and Dasainir below Richmond. he reached
. M I i Il:i1
the James river tost Deiow aiaiveru nui,
effecting a junction with General
Sheridan' force contained nearly
Butler.
all the
cavalry of Oram's army.
There is very liule definite intelligence
from General Butfer. In hi own dispatches
he says he ha laid siege to the fand side
of Drury'a Bluff on which Fort Darling is
ituated. He is thus about ten miles from
Richmond, lii cavalry are- reported to
have destroyed abridge on tbe Richmond
and Daarillaf Railroad, orerihe haad water a
of the' Appomattox, and twenty-five : miles
west-soutb-west of Richmond. )
General Sigel has not cut the Lynchburg
railroad. He has not been south of Wood
stock, which is a short distance from Wor
cester. The Confederates in that quarter
appear to have a force which controls Sigel's
movements.
