States on the 5th of September, 1861, and received his present commission on the 21st of August, 1862. From Petersburg. Advices from Petersburg state that Grant has sent two corps of his army away, and is sending more; and, by way of confirmation, we have intelligence from the Northern Neck which represents that, as late a seen on Chesapeake Bay moving in the direction of Washington. These facts go far to show that the campaign on the James and Appomattox is virtually ended, though Grant will doubtless keep a considerable force in front of Petersburg with a view to convincing the Northern people that he intends to fight it out on that line, and thus sustain his reputation for a while. It is reported that Grant has been at Harper's Ferry for the purpose of holding a consultation with Sheridan in regard to movements in that quarter. The evidence that the Yankees have now more apprehensions for the safety of Washington than expectations of the fall of Richmond is now full eno

anic-stricken yeomanry of the Pennsylvania border have some reason for their alarm. The rebellion now is in serious danger of a violent death from strangulation. Grant has it by the throat at Richmond, and cannot be made to relax his hold, except by some desperate and formidable diversion that will compel him, as McClellan was co Cincinnatian the 6th nominated B. C. Eggleston for Congress. The vote stood: Eggleston, 84; S. P. Chase, late Secretary of the Treasury, 39. A dispatch from Grant's army says considerable sickness prevails in the Yankee army. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, of the 6th, says: Judge Russell,der previous calls for troops. All deficiencies now outstanding shall be carried over to the draft to take place in September. A Baltimore dispatch of the 6th says: "General Grant was in Washington yesterday on military business. He has returned to the army. It is asserted he has gone up the Baltimore and Ohio railroad."

A Yankee opinion of Grant. --The following, from the Harford Times, shows that some people in the North are capable of judging impartially of Grant's campaign — the most stupendous failure of mGrant's campaign — the most stupendous failure of modern times: Lieutenant-General Grant has shown none of the qualifications of a prudent and able general in his campaign against Richmond. He has given up the lives of brave and noble men with Lieutenant-General Grant has shown none of the qualifications of a prudent and able general in his campaign against Richmond. He has given up the lives of brave and noble men with a degree of prodigality, if not of downright recklessness, quite unparalleled in the annals of war. Not the bloodiest campaigns of Bonaparte can vie in bloody horror with Grant's disastrous record of Grant's disastrous record of two brief months. The wholesale butchery has shocked and astounded the civilized world. Until the battle of the Wilderness, followed by the still bloodier ground of Spotsylvania, with its butchery ering brave men to dash out their lives against impregnable defences and frowning batteries, General Grant now telegraphs that all is well! Are the fools all dead, or are there none but fools li

s of that particular mine, and it was stopped effectually. Now, only observe what a Yankee dispatch says of this operation. We quote from the Baltimore American: A dispatch from the Army of the Potomac states that "the rebels exploded a mine under our works in front of Petersburg on Friday, but succeeded in doing very little damage. The rebels managed their mining operations very badly, and the explosion took place forty yards in front of our works. They attempted an assault afterwards, but were repulsed! " This paragraph presents an ascending series of lies, culminating in that which we place in italics. The "rebels" succeeded in doing what they aimed at. They put an extinguisher upon Grant's mine, and that was all they attempted. They did not manage their operations badly, for they effected what they were designed to effect, and were not directed against the works, but against the mine. In a word, the miners were countermine, and their mine rendered of no avail.
