SUPPORT Your HONE PAPERs.--The
following article from the Cleveland Her

mend it to the attention of the public
We estimate as highly as any one does
the value of city papers. but at the same
time we insist that the local papers as
medium for intelligence that can be OBJ
tanned through no other source, and for
furthering home interests, have Claims up
on the public quite as great as any metro
politan sheet, and should not be overlook

heartening to the publisher of a country
newspaper than to be told, as be too often
is, when soliciting subscribers, Il feel too
poor to take your paper, | take the Trib-
une, Cor some other foreign weekly) and
1t only costs me one dollar year, and it
contains twice as much reading as yours
does. when the receipts of one week of
the office named above would be double
the yearly receipts of his county paper.
and when, if The foreign papers were pub

in as much benefit to himself and county

Recollect. if a home paper is to be SIP
ported. home influence must do it. Eve
ny dollar sent to the Eastern papers is at
the expense of the local paper. A county
acquires prominence through its papers
more than any other way. and to every
one who has county interests at sake. his
home paper is 4 necessity. Never will
such man take paper printed away
from home until he is able to take a Sec

determined to make stand between i
and the Chieahominy River. 1t wa.
sseertained beyond doubt that FIVE
days ago, but small force of the enc
my, say six thousand men, occupied the
ground between us and Richmond. II
was then supposed that our march into
the city would be easy and rapid, and
that an opportunity would soon be CIV
en- the Union citizens of that place to
demonstrate their delight at being lib
Grated from the Secession yoke. But
now the aspect is completely changed,
and numerous indications favor the be-
lief that our onward progress to Rich
mond is to be hotly disputed BY the
larger part of the rebel army. Every
hour troops are pouring out Of Rich
mond and disposiDg themselves along
the line of the Chickahominy, being at
some points only half mile from it.
Gen. Stoneman. who, for the past three
days, has been encamped a short dis
tance north Of Mechanicsville, thought
it prudent to retire to point about
half a mile this side OF the town. This
fact alone, however. does not prove that
the enemy is gaining ground, for it was
expected when the General occupied his
position beyond the tswn, that he would
not remain there long while.

holds -, but how long he will be
able to do so, unless REINFORCED, it is
to say: He may with his
command. the strength of which it
would be imprudent to state here, be
able to seriously retard the movements
Of the rebels, but it would certainly be
too much from him to combat
whole army.
A deserter Just arrived from Geor-
giaregiment states that between Rich
mond and Mechanicsville, and about
one and q half miles from the latter
place, three Georgia regiments have en-
,amped since morning. He also says
hat Beauregard arrived in Richmond
asst Thursday, and that most vigor-
'us attempt will be made to save the
,ity.
Yesterday we had cars running from
West Point to the Chickahominy River.
This new facility for getting supplies,
guns, ammunition, &C., to the army
ian be readily appreciated by US all.
Yesterday, while q detail from the
Eightieth N. Y. regiment Engineer

woods, they discovered in the bushes
he body Of man which was identi-
led to be that of Sergeant G. Whitwell,
'f company B, Fourth Vermont regi-
nent. He was shot through the head
n two places. The circumstances at
ending his death are not known.
Lieut.. Daniels, of the Signal corps,
who injured himself last Saturday by
ialling against stump while endeavor-
ng to leap his horse across the Chicka-
lominy in order to carry information
o General Stoneman that the rebels
we're attempting to flank him on the
eft, has been obliged to leave his post
or few days. Three Of his ribs are
